10a	Emergency Motion in the names of Cllr Nial Ring and Cllr. Christy Burke Additional documents: Webcast for 10a Minutes: Emergency Motion in the names of Councillors Nial Ring and Christy Burke That this Committee calls on the Minister Catherine Byrne to immediately set up a consultation process, including all stakeholders, before signing off on the pilot Drug Injecting Rooms project. This Committee notes, with concern, the absence to date of meaningful and in some cases no consultation with Gardai, local businesses, local tourism representatives and local political representatives on this important proposal. Furthermore, this Committee asks the Minister, in the absence of funding to actually treat and rehabilitate drug users, to widen the scope of her proposal to include a full evaluation of the use of Mobile Units rather than her proposed single unit in the City Centre. This Committee further notes the support for Mobile Clinics, rather than a dedicated Drug Injecting Rooms in one City centre building, of Minister Finian McGrath and Merchants Quay Centre Chief Executive Tony Geoghegan. ORDER: Motion not agreed.
10b	Emergency Motion in the names of Cllr. Christy Burke and Cllr. Nial Ring Additional documents: Webcast for 10b Minutes: Emergency Motion in the names of Councillors Christy Burke and Nial Ring That this Committee instructs the Chief Executive to arrange for the marking and design of the Aldborough Place pitch to facilitate GAA training, and furthermore to allow St.Joseph's/O'Connell Boys GFC access to and use of the complex. ORDER: Motion agreed. Report to Councillor.
