Re: Motion 89 from South Central Area Committee held on 9^th December 2014

Motion in the name of Councillor Bríd Smith

This Area Committee commends the work being carried out by a group of young women in feeding and clothing the homeless in the Ballyfermot area.  We also acknowledge the tremendous support given to their work by the local community and community organisations.  This Area Committee calls on management to meet with the women providing this service voluntarily in order to establish what assistance and support can be offered to them to alleviate the suffering of those who are homeless and sleeping rough in the Ballyfermot area.

It was agreed that this motion would be referred to the Housing SPC.

Re: Motion 244 from North West Area Committee held on 16^th December 2014

Motion in the name of Councillor Anthony Connaghan

That the Manager conduct a study of households in the Dublin North West Area with a view to finding out how many households are currently under-occupied (i.e. Senior   Citizens living alone in 2-3 or 4 bed homes, but not exclusively Senior Citizens). Can the Manager utilise the expertise of DCC staff to come up with innovative plans to incentivise people moving to smaller accomodation and freeing up the under-utilised properties. Can the Manager provide me with any details of previous schemes and how they worked out?

ORDER:  Report to Councillor.  Cllr. Connaghan requested that this item and item NW/245/14 in the name of Cllr. Reilly be forwarded to the Housing SPC for consideration.
