Emergency Motion from Councillor Vincent Jackson

That this Area Committee calls upon Co-operative Housing Ireland to ensure at first hand the deplorable condition of the site at Orchard Meadows, Cherry Orchard, Dublin 10, which has now become a health and safety issue, is cleaned to a satisfactory level for both new residents and existing residents on Orchard Lawns, Croftwood Crescent and Blackditch Road.  In addition, can we have a statement from Co-Operative Housing Ireland of when they expect the development to be completed.

I have had a number of residents on to me asking if they are going to have to live with this unfinished estate for 6 to 9 months whilst legal issues are addressed.

Order: Agreed.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

17^th October 2018

621      Councillor Paul Hand (deferred from September Area Committee   

            Meeting)

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.

629      Councillor Paul Hand (deferred from September Area Committee Meeting)

This Area Committee commends the local community, DCC staff and the volunteers at the recent local festivals in Walkinstown and Drimnagh. In order to convey our appreciation, we request that the Area Manager writes to the management committees of the two festivals to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

636      Councillor Rebecca Moynihan (deferred from September Area Committee Meeting)

This Area Committee ask that DCC begin the process to re-zone the community garden in Herberton Z9. 

638      Councillor Paul Hand (deferred from September Area Committee Meeting)

That this Area Committee request that Dublin City Council, as soon as practically possible, starts a regeneration process for the maisonettes on Rafters Lane/Lissadel Road. Many maisonettes there have issues with mould and dampness. If Dublin City Council were to de-tenant the residents to suitable accommodation and then demolish the Maisonettes, they could redevelop the area with more housing units, benefiting the entire area and adding additional housing stock to Dublin City Council. 

646      Councillor Críona Ní Dhálaigh

That this Area Committee agree that the HSE consider opening up the green/lawn area at Brú Chaoimhín for public use. It is a beautiful and attractive green space in the heart of the Liberties, an area so long devoid of green space. It is also an objective set down in our Local Area Plan. The HSE have carried out significant conservation works to Brú Chaoimhín to the clock tower which is an attractive landmark for Cork Street. Unfortunately, ugly barbed wire has been attached to the boundary making it uninviting and hostile. This Area Committee ask the HSE to reconsider this boundary treatment with something more appropriate for such a beautiful protected Structure.

647      Councillor Tina MacVeigh

This Area Committee agrees to hold a public community consultation on the future of the Iveagh Markets, to be paid for from the Discretionary Funds for 2019 - as the dispute over ownership and / or property rights may take some time to resolve, it is essential that public and local community wishes for development of the site are respected and known in anticipation of a final outcome on  ...  view the full agenda text for item 8.
