DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

21st November 2018

648      Councillor Greg Kelly deferred from the October Area Committee    

            Meeting

That the Area Manager asks the Housing Manager to start the process of using the land with the pool of water at the back of Bluebell Community Centre. This land is not being used and should be used to develop housing. This site could provide new senior citizen complex and housing for families together like Cornamona Site in Ballyfermot. If this could be done it will mean that residents of La Touche Court could be housed in new accommodation and the site of La Touche Court can then be used to start the development of Bernard Curtis House.

655      Councillor  Tina MacVeigh

            That the lands around Brú Chaoimhin be considered for community allotment/garden use, pursuant to the objectives for the provision of green space in the Local Area Plan.

656      Councillor  Rebecca Moynihan

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

657      Councillor  Vincent Jackson

In view of the serious ongoing anti-social behaviour of a small group in the Drimnagh Area and their capacity to destroy the quality of life for thousands of good people, that this Area Committee requests the Minister for Justice, the Garda Commissioner and DCC to work together to address the issues with estate management, high visibility policing and serious sanctions for those responsible. In addition, we need the powers to be to set up a task force which could be resourced and mobile to deter this type of behaviour.

658      Councillor  Daithí Doolan

This Area Committee notes with deep concern the high level of anti-social behaviour in and around Brickfield Park during Halloween. This Committee calls on Dublin City Council, Gardaí, resident’s associations, local youth services and political representatives to work together on a plan to reduce the anti-social behaviour in this area. This work will be coordinated by a local task force that will report back to the SCAC on a monthly basis. The task force will cease to exist at the earliest opportunity

659      Councillor  Paul Hand

This Area Committee notes with concern the recent spate of anti-social behaviour in the Drimnagh area. In order to improve the situation now and into the future we request that an interdepartmental working group/task force be established with staff from DCC, the Gardaí, local schools, local projects, TUSLA and others with a view to improving the situation, whether it be a policing solution and or increased investment in social services. 

660      Councillor  Greg Kelly

This Area Committee expresses its concern with the ongoing anti-social Behaviour in Drimnagh. We recognise the need for a joint approach in tackling this with DCC, The Gardaí, Youth Workers, Community Groups, politicians and most importantly the residents. We call on the funding to be made available from the relevant state bodies to help tackle this issue for the people of Drimnagh.
