Motion:

Emergency Motion from Councillor Michael Mullooly

In view of the fact that some local residents have found out that Dublin City Council intend to locate Homeless Emergency Accommodation for up to 30 families at a facility at 390 Clonard Road, this Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council as a matter of urgency to provide full and detailed information to local residents and local councillors on this facility, the works that need to be carried out, the conditions attaching to these works and the conditions that will apply to this facility when it is operational, to allay fears locally'

Order:Agreed

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

17^th May 2017

510      Councillor Daithí de Róiste

The tragic accident that resulted in the loss of R116 touched each and every one of us. As a society we take those who work in our frontline emergency services and the daily danger they place themselves in for granted. Paul Ormsby, a Ballyfermot man, was one of those lost on that fateful night. To that end, this Area Committee calls for the renaming and dedicating of the park on Oranmore Road to his memory and that of the crew of R116 and looks for a significant memorial and plaque to be erected to mark their ultimate sacrifice.

511      Councillor Criona Ni Dhalaigh

That this Area Committee request that a traffic audit be carried out in the Tenters’ area. The audit to include how best to address the non resident parking, consideration of residents only parking, one way system on the narrow streets and parking enforcement to address dangerous parking. Residents are extremely frustrated at the huge increase in all day parking in their area plus the added factor of workers from all the local building sites parking there as well.

512      Councillor Rebecca Moynihan,

This Area Committee ask that the Area Manager writes to the tour operators who use Teeling’s Distillery in Newmarket, asking that they refrain from using their PA system while in residential areas or stopped at the traffic lights.

513      Councillor Pat Dunne

This Area Committee requests the Area Manager to arrange with our Traffic Management Section to undertake a traffic and environmental audit of issues relating to on street parking and overall traffic management in the Tenter’s area of Dublin 8. The lack of parking spaces for residents is a major issue since the beginning of construction projects in the immediate surrounding area.

514      Councillor Daíthí Doolan

This Area Committee, protocol permitting, will dedicate the green at Spiddal Road & Oranmore Road in memory of local resident Paul Ormsby, who was tragically lost during the recent rescue operation off Galway.

515      Councillor Vincent Jackson

That Dublin City Council starts to take some responsibility for the horrific ongoing behaviour at the Californian Hills Park, Ballyfermot.   A couple of years ago and dozens of questions later I can see our failure to properly manage the dumping, horses, and anti-social behaviour is turning this beautiful area into a no-go area.  Drumfinn Celtic have said it is no longer feasible to bring children onto a site full of glass, rubbish, cars spoiling the area. At the recent meeting of the Ballyfermot Policing forum, serious concerns from neighbours took up a large portion of the meeting looking for answers of what Dublin City Council and An Garda Síochana are going to do to sort the issues out. I am aware of neighbours who are terrified to approach youths for fear to their homes.   Why have we allowed this behaviour to take root and what are we going to do to address same?  ...  view the full agenda text for item 8.
