June 2023 Motions

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

21st June 2023

 

 

M252   Councillor Hazel de Nortúin

That the Local Area Office in Ballyfermot and all relevant sections will look at an environmental plan for Kylemore Road. The grass areas on both sides of the road could be linked in with the environmental plan and flower display that's on the roundabout at Kylemore. This is a key entry point into Ballyfermot and could be far more effective in its display of the area.

 

M253   Councillor Daithí Doolan

That Dublin City Council give an update on progress made with the development of Brickfield Park dressing rooms and to ask management to give further updates every three months.  

 

M254   Councillor Daithí Doolan

This Area Committee expresses deep concern at reports of apartments in Davitt Road apartments are subject to illegal short term letting. 

This is contrary to the original planning permission and only serves to further deepen the housing crisis. 

This Area Committee asks that Dublin City Council investigates the matter fully and a report is made available at the next South Central Area Committee meeting outlining what action is to be taken. 

 

M255   Councillor Daithí Doolan

In light of the serious traffic congestion on Galtymore Road, between the junction of Carrow Road and Galtymore Road and the junction of Galtymore Road and Benbulbin Road will DCC implement agreed traffic calming as a matter of urgency so as to remove any further threats to the 123 bus service along Galtymore Road.

 

M256   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That Dublin City Council consider the installation of an all-weather football pitch at the Tarmac surface on Drumfinn Road Ballyfermot Dublin 10.  The Ballyfermot Youth Reach have approached me looking to see if DCC could do this work and they would help manage the facility during the days as there centre is adjacent to the open space. I am very confident a number of sports groups would be delighted to get involved in the operation and management if consideration could be given to enhancing this facility.

 

M257   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That Dublin City Council please look into providing a pedestrian / Zebra Crossing from Blackditch Road Ballyfermot near the junction with Le Fanu Road Ballyfermot Dublin 10.  The new skate-board park / playground is used by thousands of children and youth on a weekly basis.  The road is very busy here with traffic movements and many near accidents have happened. I am asking this be looked at as a priority.

 

M258   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That TAG be asked to look at the installation of yellow lines at the Junctions of Gurteen Avenue, Ballyfermot Dublin 10 and Drumfinn Avenue.  Residents are having a very difficult time with some people parking directly on the bend leaving cars exiting Gurteen Avenue having to move half way out onto the road to check if there is ongoing traffic coming along.  It is an accident waiting to happen.
