DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

20^th March 2019

690      Councillor Tina MacVeigh

This Area Committee agrees that an investigation into the infestation of rats in our housing complex at Oliver Bond House be immediately undertaken, including an inspection of the old community centre and of all old rubbish flues to ensure there are no rats nesting in them.

The Area Committee will facilitate a presentation by the Transition Year of Mercy Secondary school in Inchicore on their Social Innovation Fund Programme.

This Area Committee expresses deep frustration at the delay in developing Cornamona site, Ballyfermot. We call on the Department of Housing to release the funding immediately and allow Dublin City Council to start building the 61 units without further delay.

693      Councillor Vincent Jackson

That this Area Committee resolves to invite Dwyer Nolan into the next or a special meeting of the South Central Committee, to discuss their plans for the development of the former De La Salle Lands at Ballyfermot Road. These lands are a substantial part of the fabric of Ballyfermot and when re-developed need to take into consideration the existing community of Ballyfermot, the potential and concerns of the area.

694      Councillor Michael Mullooly

That this Area Committee calls on the Area Manager to initiate a Public Realm Walking Infrastructure Scheme for Drimnagh.

That this Area Committee notes the continued and persistent dog fouling which is polluting our footpaths and green areas throughout the area.  We call for a major public domain campaign aimed at tackling the problem. This campaign should educate dog owners informing them of the dangers caused by dog poo. It should also use all available powers to prosecute and fine offending dog owners and also provide bins to properly dispose of the bagged poo.
