Emergency Motion(s) Additional documents: Minutes: The following Emergency Motions were taken without debate:
Emergency Motion No. 1:
That this City Council, in relation to the Hammerson application for the development of the Dublin Central site that includes the demolition of 1916 buildings, structures and fabric on Moore Street, calls for the completion of the stalled process to add five buildings on the site to the record of protected structures as agreed by this Council; we further call for the terrace 10-25 Moore Street to be added to the record of protected structures as a matter of urgency so that a full assessment of all 1916 buildings, carried out by suitably qualified independent experts, can be made available.
Submitted by Councillors Micheál Mac Donncha, Máire Devine, Janice Boylan, John Lyons, Cieran Perry, Christy Burke, Daithí Doolan, Seamus McGrattan, Larry O’Toole, Daniel Céitinn, Anthony Connaghan.
Emergency Motion No. 2:
That this Council rejects the creeping use of anti-homeless infrastructure - namely benches recently installed in the city which - whether intentionally or otherwise - prevent people who are sleeping rough from lying down (see image below). These are hostile to our more vulnerable city residents but also discriminatory against larger people and less comfortable due to the lack of a back rest. We call on the city management to desist in their use and replace those which have been put in place with standard benches.
Submitted by Councillors Catherine Stocker, Mary Callaghan, Tara Deacy, Cat O' Driscoll, Patricia Roe. |

Additional documents: Minutes: 1.)Motion in the name of Cllr. Mannix Flynn:
“That this meeting of DCC calls on the Lord Mayor of Dublin to withdraw and desist from being patron of the Artane School of Music/Artane Band.”
Following a respectful and considerate debate on the motion the Lord Mayor asked Cllr. Flynn if he would be willing to engage in dialogue with the Artane School of Music with a view to finding a resolution to this painful issue. The Lord Mayor and Councillor Nial Ring, in his role as a director on the board of the Artane School of Music offered to support Councillor Flynn and facilitate this process of engagement and resolution.
Cllr. Flynn thanked the Lord Mayor and all the Members for their support and compassionate contributions and agreed to set aside his motion to allow for a process of dialogue and resolution.
It was also agreed that if, following the conclusion of this process, Cllr. Flynn was not satisfied with the outcome, he would be permitted to re-table his motion which would receive priority consideration.
