Motions

Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This Committee requests an update on when the long promised and approved works at the Donnybrook Cemetery will be carried out.

 

Motion 2 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This Committee requests the Manager to have the road surface of the general Gulistan Cottages area examined with a view to a serious upgrade and at a very minimum to have a major road and footpath sweeping and weed clearance undertaken.

 

Motion 3 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This Committee requests that a yellow box be installed outside the Ranelagh Medical Centre, Sandford Road, repeatedly requested before and inexplicably refused.

 

Motion 4 from Councillor James Geoghegan

The South East Area committee recommends that camper vans (vehicles that have multiple sleeping births) be explicitly excluded from the definition of "vehicles" in the 2020 DCC Parking Bye-laws thereby prohibiting the owners from applying for residential parking permits as well as visitors with camper vans from using paid parking; if this motion passes that it be referred to the Transport SPC to see the law amended.

 

Motion 5 from Councillor James Geoghegan

The South East Area Committee agrees that LED Advertising hoardings of the type used recently in Ranelagh and Rathmines be banned throughout the South East Area.

 

Motion 6 from Councillor James Geoghegan

That the South East Area Committee agrees to write to the proprietor responsible for maintaining the clocks in Rathmines village and inquire as to when or how they might be put into working order and what funds are required to see that take place.

 

Motion 7 Councillor Deirdre Conroy

To the local area manager, councillors, the Parks Department and Arts & Culture SPC re Padel sport for children, adults and elderly, lighter version of tennis.

 

I am notified by Kevin O’Reilly, co-founder of padel360, a company focused on growing the sport of Padel in Ireland that he is reaching out to highlight where they see potential to enhance sport facilities in the south east area. It is considered that adding Padel courts to parks or recreational areas could have a positive impact on the local community. Padel is often described as a mixture of tennis and squash and it is now the fastest growing sport in the world. Ireland’s growth trajectory is beginning to resemble the early stage growth seen in other European countries, and this is no surprise given the extended Irish sport and tennis culture. It is considered that one example where padel has added value to the community, is in Terenure, Bushy Park, operating in a financially self-sufficient way and is consistently over-subscribed. Further, the following characteristics give some insight into the growth potential of padel in Ireland;


Great form of exercise regardless of age or physical ability, allowing more people to get active.
Excellent space utilisation is made possible by the small court relative to tennis.

Social fun game played only in doubles form.  Players see it as a great way to meet new people while keeping fit. ·Environmentally friendly; sport is inherently environmentally  ...  view the full agenda text for item 10.
