DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

17^th April 2019

696      Councillor Ray McHugh

That this Area Committee agree to request the Chief Executive Officer of DCC to write to the Housing Minister requesting setting up of a specific allocation of funding to start the Overcrowding Extensions Scheme on DCC housing properties.

697      Councillor Vincent Jackson

That this Area Committee agree that the Area Manager please consider convening an inter-agency group between local youth services, An Garda Síochána, Tusla, DCC and school authorities to see if they can effectively tackle a serious escalation of anti-social behaviour currently happening along the Ballyfermot main street and Kylemore Avenue etc. It is very worrying that a small group can create such mayhem in our community. This coupled with social media is creating serious difficulties for local residents, traders and library staff. I am very concerned that if not tackled this could mushroom out of control.

698      Councillor Daithí Doolan

That this Area Committee calls on the Garda Assistant Commissioner for Dublin to allocate extra resources, personnel and Garda cars, to Ballyfermot Garda Station to meet the demand of increased anti-social behaviour in recent months. 

699      Councillor Hazel de Nortúin

Given the rise in anti-social behaviour in the Claddagh Court Senior Citizens complex, can the Area Manager agree that the relevant department will commit to upgrading the current security system/gates. They're not adequate in keeping the complex secure and residents have made this very clear to DCC for a number of years now.

700      Councillor Tina MacVeigh

This Area Committee agrees that where a person or persons, (family), are being assessed or means tested in relation to their housing eligibility that Housing benefits such as rent allowance or HAP not be included in the assessment and determination of eligibility for local authority housing.

701      Councillor Hazel de Nortúin

This Area Committee condemns the attacks on residents in Ballyfermot over the past couple of weeks due to anti-social behaviour. However, this Committee is calling on all services in the area to come together to see how this can be tackled from a multi-agency approach.
