The order of business was suspended to deal with the following Emergency Motion:

 

Emergency Motion 1

That this Area Committee condemns the destruction of a playground in Weaver Park off Cork Street in the Liberties area, expresses its solidarity with the local community, community activists and residents who have fought for every bit of greenery and playground space delivered in recent years and asks the Director of Services to provide an urgent update on the damage and timeline for repair of this vital community resource. Finally, this Area Committee condemns those who point to incidents like this and use it as an excuse to discuss 'deserving' vs 'undeserving' communities - the less than 1% cannot hold the other 99% to ransom and deprive their community of investment in amenities.

Cllr Darragh Moriarty

 

Order: Agreed.

October 2022 Motions

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL

SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE

19th October 2022

 

M195   Councillors Deirdre Cronin, Maire Devine, Darragh Moriarty & Michael Pidgeon

This committee agrees to extend an invitation to a delegation of residents from Rehoboth Place and Rehoboth Avenue to present to the members on long standing safety issues for cars, bikes and pedestrians and to consider solutions prior to the commencement of large scale development in the area.

 

M196   Councillor Máire Devine

This committee recognise the historical value and uniqueness of the Weir Home for Nurses and the Quaker Burial Ground at Cork St and understand that negotiations are ongoing for the transfer/sale from HSE. Given the historical importance of these two sites we call on management to convene a meeting for all stakeholders, to include but not limited to:
HSE Estates, Peter McVerry Trust, The Housing Agency, Secretary General Heritage, Friends of Quakers, Local reisidents and Liberties Cultural Association

 

           

M197   Councillor Máire Devine

This committee expresses concern at the inadequate “white line” road markings at Fingal and Eugene Streets where car clamping and/removal appears disproportionate. These markings are inadequate in alerting motorists to the “no parking areas”. We agree that, in the interests of fairness, the notification be more explicit and more visible.

 

 

 

           

 

 

 

 

 

M198   Councillor Máire Devine

This committee acknowledge the tremendous efforts undertaken by residents to improve and greenize the Devoy Pitch at Inchicore. They are requesting that DCC liaise with them to plan an agreed schedule for future environmental improvements.

 

           

M199   Councillor Daithí Doolan

That this Area Committee acknowledges the success of the Halloween skip service, regrets the decision made by management to terminate the service and calls on Dublin City Council to ensure that the Halloween skip service is maintained this year.

 

 

 

M200   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That Dublin City Council please ensure that proper funded proposals are brought forward to this area committee with real local input into the essential requirement of the social and community infrastructure Cherry Orchard needs. We have a housing crisis and Cherry Orchard has played its part in responding to this we now need the various institutions of both local government and central government to respond to the needs in a pro-active way.

 

M201   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That DCC Parks Department please look at developing a proper management and maintenance plan for the Lawns Park Ballyfermot Dublin 10 to look at acknowledging the fact the origins of Ballyfermot developed here with Ballyfermot Castle, the old Church and graveyard. In the late 1990`s we had a major report done on the origins of Ballyfermot and we had agreed that when resources became available we would acknowledge he graveyard with a celtic cross and the footprint of the old castle with a boxed hedging information panels etc.

 

 

M202   Councillor Vincent Jackson

That the Active travel unit look at the Ballyfermot / Cherry Orchard area in relation to proper cycling infrastructure it is becoming all the more apparent this we in the West of the City are forgotten about when it comes  ...  view the full agenda text for item 8.
