Emergency Motions Additional documents: Minutes: Emergency Motion 1 This Area Committee expresses deep concern at the recent fire in Thornton’s recycling plant. We commend the emergency services for their prompt response. We call on the Chief Fire Officer to ensure the investigation is carried out as soon as possible and the findings are made public and available to this committee for further scrutiny.” Cllrs Daithí Doolan and Máire Devine Order: Agreed without debate
Emergency Motion 2 That
this Area Committee support the residents of Rialto Street, Court,
Cottages and Park in the unacceptable and hazardous circumstances
they have endured. The access to their outdoor space has been
severely disrupted with the arrival of hundreds of construction
workers on a daily basis, who commandeer their streets with vehicle
parking, often for 19 hours at a time. This has very recently
escalated with workers removing planters and many vulnerable
residents unable to exit their homes. We call on the council to implement temporary “residents only” parking to mitigate contamination and infection of Covid 19 while they await the installation of residential permit parking.This request is in response to serious concerns of health breaches by construction workers that threaten the public health and safety of this area. Cllrs Máire Devine, Tina MacVeigh and Daithí Doolan Order: Report to Councillors.
Emergency Motion 3 This Area Committee, noting that –
· under section 54 of the Planning and Development Act 2002 the making of an addition to the record of protected structures is a reserved function of the elected council, · under section 132 of the Local Government Act 2001 as amended, it is the duty of the chief executive to advise and assist the elected council, and to carry into effect its lawful directions, in relation to the exercise and performance of reserved functions, · section 55 of the Planning and Development Act sets out procedures to be followed by a planning authority which proposes, at any time other than in the course of making its development plan, to make an addition to its record of protected structures, · in November 2018 Dublin South Central Area Committee resolved that the Player Wills Factory Building be added to the City Council’s record of protected structures, · in November 2020 this Council passed a motion seeking that councillors be urgently updated on the progress of adding the Player Wills Factory Building to the record of protected structures, and immediately mandating the Executive to begin the process of adding the building to the record, · the Law Agent has subsequently furnished a legal opinion to the effect that initiating procedures in relation to a proposal to add a building to the record of protected structures is an executive and not a reserved function,
directs the Chief Executive, pursuant to section 132 (2) (a) of the 2001 Local Government Act, as amended by section 47 of the Local Government Reform Act 2014, to obtain the opinion of senior counsel as to –

January 2021 Motions M.79 Councillor Daithí Doolan This Area Committee notes with concern that the current Service Site Fund undermines Dublin City Council's ability to develop affordable homes on publicly owned sites.
This Area Committee calls on the Minister for Housing, Darragh O'Brien, to increase the Service Site Fund from €50,000 to €100,000. This, along with extending loans from financial institutions to 40 years, would allow Dublin City Council to deliver affordable homes to rent or purchase.
M.80 Councillor Máire Devine That this Area Committee view with trepidation the granting of permission for Co Living at the Old Glass Factory, Liberties. Given the recent Ministerial decision to ban these inappropriate units, this permission has caused huge concern both locally and nationally. We acknowledge the sterling work by local residents with their campaign to stop this unsustainable development that will have significant negative impact on their area. Furthermore we note that the only recourse communities have to appeal these decisions is a costly Judicial Review which is beyond the reach of the majority.”
M.81 Councillor Daithí Doolan This Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to ensure that a representative from the Ballyfermot Disability Collective is represented on the structures overseeing Cherry Orchard LAP.
M.82 Councillor Máire Devine That this Area Committee agree that a report on planning applications and decisions regarding “Change of Use” be included in the monthly agenda”
M.83 Councillor Daithí Doolan That this Area Committee will organise to ensure that recycling of Christmas trees will be provided for in Dublin South Central as a matter of urgency, it is unacceptable that no provision is made for recycling in Ballyfermot, Drimnagh, Inchicore or South West Inner City, particularly with the current Covid restrictions.
