ORDER: Agreed. Motion in the name of Councillor Ciaran Cuffe That the new road beside the 3Arena be named Molly Nugent Road after the Nugent family who lived at Seaview House, positioned at the junction of Seaview Avenue and East Wall, and whose portrait was sketched by Countess Markievicz. ORDER: Agreed. Motion in the name of Councillor Christy Burke That the Central Area Committee calls on the Revenue Commissioners/Tax Office to open late, maybe Thursday night, to allow workers who pay taxes, who are unable to take time off work Monday to Friday, to call into the tax office to put their tax affairs in order. ORDER: Agreed. Letter to be sent to the Revenue Commissioners. Motion in the name of Councillor Nial Ring That the Members of this Committee fully support the following proposals for the celebration of the centenary of the sitting of First Dáil on 21st January 1919, as put forward by The First Dáil Commemoration Committee of the 1916-1921 Club. The proposal/recommendations include the following: • That the Irish language as First Language of the State should have prominence as was the case in 1919. • The Centenary Year should feature Debate/Discussions on “the Dáil then - the Dáil today” , on leading figures of the time and to include discussion on the role of the 1916 women in the suffrage movement, the 1918 General Election and the First Dáil. • The Centenary Programme should include a photographic record, film archive display and exhibition of copy historic documents such as The Declaration of Independence, Message to the Free Nations of The World and The Democratic Programme of The First Dáil. • A large photo of the members of The First Dáil should be displayed outside The Mansion House and Leinster House during Centenary Year. • Recognising that the national broadcaster, RTE, will have a central role to play it is recommended that TV and Radio Programmes should be centred on three themes: Election 1918, The First Dáil and the commencement of the War of independence. • The significance of the First Dáil should be brought to schools nationwide in a similar way in which the 1916 Easter Rising became a focal point for schoolchildren. A presentation to schools of copies of the historic documents of the time (i.e. The Declaration of Independence, Message to the Free Nations of The World and The Democratic Programme of The First Dáil) should be considered. • Finally, the importance of this occasion warrants the announcement of a National holiday, ‘Independence Day’ on 21st January 2019 to appropriately mark the Centenary of the sitting of the First Dáil, as recently proposed in Seanad Éireann. ORDER: Agreed. Motion in the name of Councillor ... view the full minutes text for item 14.
