Standing Orders was suspended to take the following Emergency Motions : -

Emergency Motion from Councillor Greg Kelly

The South Central Area Committee is deeply concerned that the De La Salle Order have decided to sell the school and its land in Ballyfermot. The school and its staff provided an excellent standard of education to generations of children in Ballyfermot.  This Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to immediately engage with the new owner to discuss acquiring the land to ensure it is developed in the interest of the wider community.

Order: Report to Councillors.

Emergency Motion Councillor Hazel de Nortúin (as amended 19/09/18)

This Area Committee is calling on the Minister for Housing and relevant Dublin City Council management to ensure that the CO OP housing in Cherry Orchard are not only completed, are allocated IN FULL, that the rubbish which has accumulated on-site is removed and that the agreement reached with the local Community group.

Order: Agreed. Report to Councillors.

Emergency Motion from Councillor Daithí Doolan, Councillor Ray McHugh (as amended 19/09/18)

While the South Central Area Committee expresses deep concern at the situation on the Cooperative Housing Ireland site in Cherry Orchard and Dolphins Barn, the Committee notes that this cannot be allowed to delay work on the remaining homes and apartments under construction in Cherry Orchard and Dolphins Barn. All stakeholders must work together to ensure the speedy completion and allocation of these homes.

Order: Report to Councillors.

Emergency Motion from Cllr Tina MacVeigh(as amended 19/09/18)

This Area Committee supports the grass roots movement of Take Back the City and condemns the unnecessary violence we saw used during the eviction at Frederick Street on 11th September and calls for the charges against these activists to be dropped. Further, we agree that vacant unused habitable buildings should be CPO’d when and where appropriate by the local authority and used to house the more than 20,000 households on the Dublin housing list and that all land owned by NAMA. be retained and developed by the State for public and genuinely affordable housing and community amenities, in particular NAMA owned lands.

Order: Agreed.

Emergency Motion from Cllr Vincent Jackson

That given its historic value to the people of Ballyfermot that DCC seek who is the new owner of the Mount Le Salle Monastery on Ballyfermot Road next to the De La Salle National School to ensure that they secure the property before it is totally destroyed over the past 2 weeks this fine building from the 1950`s has being subjected to vandalism, flooding & attempted burning. The new owners must accept responsibility for leaving this important building vacant and open to such attack an urgent meeting must take place to hear the new owners plans for the property and the interim arrangements to secure the property.

Order: Agreed

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

19^th SEPTEMBER  2018

621      Cllr Paul Hand

That this Area Committee notes with concern the recent Local Electoral Area Boundary Committee report which will have a significant impact on the South Central Area. Of particular concern is the creation of the 'Kimmage-Rathmines' ward which will see parts of Drimnagh, Crumlin and Kimmage lumped in to an unfamiliar area. It makes no sense for residents in Drimnagh, Crumlin and Kimmage to be in an area committee with coastal communities like Ringsend, Sandymount and Irishtown. Therefore, we request that the new 'Kimmage-Rathmines' LEA be a part of the South Central Area Committee after the next local elections and for the Crumlin Area Office to have a wider remit over this area, with additional staffing and funding.

622      Cllr Rebecca Moynihan

            This Area Committee agrees that the planters on Basin Lane be left in place,        with the area Office applying for Traffic permission if needed. The planters         create a safe barrier for cyclists going to the schools in Basin Lane and     otherwise are just informal parking spaces.

623      Cllr Pat Dunne

That this Area Committee wishes to submit an observation to the National Transport Authority as part of its public consultation into the Bus Connects proposals. The members of Area Committee wishes to express the concerns of our constituent’s in relation to the proposals and in particular the effects many of the changes have on local connectivity between neighbourhoods. The proposals in relation to routes 83,18,17,150,122,123,13, 68 and 69 reduce connectivity and will dis-improve local services. We call on the NTA to scrap these proposals and instead concentrate on improving existing routes both in frequency and reliability.  

624     Cllr Ray McHugh

Following the arson attack on the playground and the tyre burning the following Saturday in Willie Pearse Park Crumlin, this Area Committee agree the following: -

1)    That all entrances to the park are made more secure after closing time of the park.           This is to include replacing the kissing gates at the Star bingo lane and the kissing  gates on Windmill Road with a more secure gate to protect the facility.

2)    The playground equipment that was destroyed is replaced and the play area

            reopened as soon as possible.

3)    We write to the Garda commissioner requesting the urgent need for more Gardaí for the Crumlin area to protect the community and the facilities which are under attack from gangs of youths.

625      Cllr. Daithi Doolan

That this Area Committee agrees that in order to prevent rat running and serious accidents, Dublin City Council should install a bollard on Cleggan Road at Ballyfermot Road end, and kerbing to allow access for residents at Cleggan Road end. Also Dublin City Council should install a parking bay to allow visitors park and allows residents access their drive way.

626      Cllr. Michael Mullooly

In recent years due to budgetary cut backs there has been a reduction in street cleaning across the South Central Area. This Area  ...  view the full agenda text for item 8.
