Emergency Motion from Councillors Tina MacVeigh and Cllr. Pat Dunne

Noting:-

- the historical significance of Kilmainham Mill

- the current state of disrepair the Mill has fallen into in private ownership

- the current zonings of Kilmainham Mill site and surrounds of Z1, Z2, Z4 and Z6 which allow for residential, enterprise and employment creation, and residential but not heritage conservation

- the imminent development on the site

Acknowledging:

- the grassroots community campaign and ground swell of support for preserving the heritage of Kilmainham Mill

- an endangerment notice recently issued by Dublin City Council

This Area Committee agrees:

- to immediately initiate the process for a material alteration to the development plan to rezone the site of Kilmainham Mill and surrounding outbuildings to Z8: to protect the existing architectural and civic design character, and to allow only for limited expansion consistent with the conservation objective.

Order: Agreed.  Report to councillors. It was agreed to refer this motion to the Lord Mayor and the Planning International Relations & Property Development SPC.

Emergency motion from Cllr Hazel De Nortúin and Cllr. Greg Kelly

This Area Committee, given the rise in anti social behaviour in Bluebell requests that;

- The Parks department in DCC  inspect the playground in Bluebell, given the recent fires that took place last weekend, with the aim to cost the damage done.

- will work to repair any damage that was done as soon as possible.

- and that this committee also request that there be an immediate Interagency intervention using all resources available with a long term plan for the Bluebell area. 

Order: Agreed.
