Emergency Motion from Councillors Tina MacVeigh, Hazel Norton, Greg Kelly, Criona Ni Dhalaigh, Pat Dunne, Paul Hand, Daithi Doolan, Vincent Jackson, Ray McHugh and Michael Mullooly.

This Area Committee condemns the ongoing massacre of innocent unarmed Palestinian protestors taking part in the Great March of Return in Gaza by the Israeli Defence Forces. We support the call from civil and political Irish society for the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, the imposition of severe sanctions on Israel and the immediate closure of the Irish Embassy in Tel Aviv.

As a local authority we have a duty of care to ensure that human rights are upheld and therefore call on the Israeli Ambassador and the Minister for Foreign Affairs to meet with representatives of this Area Committee so as to set out our position on the matter.

Order Agreed without debate.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

16^th May 2018

593      Councillor Rebecca Moynihan

This Area Committee agrees to begin the process to draft a scheme for a pedestrian crossing at Herberton Bridge.

594      Councillor Ray McHugh

That this Area Committee agrees to arrange to draw up a plan to replace the temporary dressing rooms in Brickfield Park with a permanent build, that will facilitate the increased us of this park by clubs, and seek funding through the Sports Capital Grants.  FAI and interested parties, to build an up to date dressing room facility comprising of at least 12 dressing rooms, male and female, showers/toilets, referee rooms, store room with a reception area at the front and the possibility of upstairs meeting rooms.  We should work with the Sports Officers of DCC and clubs in the area that use the park and pitches at present to be part of this plan.

595      Cllr Hazel De Nortúin

This Area Committee endorses the Fair Rent Homes model as advanced by the St. Michael’s Estate Regeneration Team and agrees that this will be the only plan advanced and endorsed by the Council for the public lands at St. Michael’s Estate in Inchicore.

596      Councillor Hazel De Nortúin

This Area Committee calls on Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone, to increase investment in Early Childhood Care and Education to ensure that children have access to quality, sustainable and affordable childcare with decent pay and conditions for professionals in the sector.  This Area Committee recognises that Early Years Educators are hugely dedicated professionals who care for and educate children during the most crucial years of their development.  However, the Irish Government lags behind other European countries in terms of how much we invest in Early Years Education.  As a result, many qualified professionals are struggling to make ends meet and providers are struggling to stay open.

597      Cllr  Paul Hand

This Area Committee notes with concern the purchase of Kilmainham Mill by a private entity and laments the fact Dublin City Council were unsuccessful in their efforts to purchase it at this time. This Area Committee requests that DCC continue their efforts to acquire this piece of Industrial Heritage using all means possible and requests that the endangerment notice be re-issued to the new owners. Furthermore, we request that our Planning Department be vigilant in ensuring the necessary repair works are completed as soon as possible.

598      Councillor Vincent Jackson

That this Area Committee agree that Dublin City Council looks again at the practice of estate cleansing once every 12 weeks, which is the current practice.  I regret the current system is totally unacceptable to large communities.  Waste has no barriers, it blows everywhere and needs addressing.  Can we ensure all waste management providers adapt a scheme to collect bins after 8.00 a.m., thereby resulting in reducing the need to do a litter pick after the bins are collected and private contractors should be responsible for cleaning up after their collection.
