DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

18^th July  2018

615      Cllr  Ray McHugh

To call on Dublin City Council to investigate if it is possible to introduce bye-laws to compel bicycle couriers operating commercially to have identification registration displayed and insurance cover, and if not to write to the Minister of Transport, Mr Shane Ross, requesting to bring in legislation to compel cyclist couriers working for delivery companies to display registration identification and insurance.

616      Cllr  Daithí Doolan

This Area Committee, in noting the frustrations caused by utility companies failing to speedily connect new homes, calls on Dublin City Council to contact the ESB, Irish Water and other relevant utility companies to immediately identify  a point of contact to avoid any further delays. 

617      Cllr  Greg Kelly

This Area Committee calls on the Area Manager to ensure that planters are ordered and distributed through out the Ballyfermot/Drimnagh ward next year. Drimnagh and Bluebell in particular have missed out this year. These are a great addition to areas and now we have environment groups active throughout Ballyfermot/Drimnagh they should be consulted along with local councillors as to where they can be put.

618      Cllr  Michael Mullooly

In view of the proposal to redevelop the City Council Depot at Marrowbone Lane Dublin 8 this  Area Committee reiterates its commitment to providing playing facilities there for local sporting clubs.

619      Cllr. Vincent Jackson

            This Area Committee supports the following request from a resident from Inchicore who got in touch with me in relation to the possibility of DCC submitting an application for Inchicore to be considered for WIFI hotspots status under the European Union Wifi4eu initiative.  This application for designation, which needs to be done by DCC, would be a welcome addition to the urban regeneration of the Inchicore area.

620      Cllr  Michael Mullooly

Across the South Central area there has been a marked deterioration in the condition of speed ramps due to weathering and poor maintenance, to such an extent that they are dangerous to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. This Area Committee calls on the Area Manager to prepare a report on the issue for the September Area Committee meeting with particular emphasis on a programme of works to repair and maintain speed ramps to a proper standard.
