Emergency Motion in the name of Councillor Janice Boylan:

That this Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to immediately undertake repair works on the former Magdalene Laundry site on Seán Mc Dermott Street given its historical importance and future possible designation as a National Site of Conscience or Archive.

ORDER: Agreed. Letters to be sent to the Minister for Health and to the National Immunisation Advisory Committee.
