Minutes: The following Emergency Motions to the Area Managers were tabled: Emergency motion in the names of Councillors Declan Meenagh and Joe Costello: The Central Area Committee notes the importance of the Phoenix Park to people living on the Navan Road and the wider community and notes that the Cabra Gate and pedestrian gates have been closed for road works with very short notice and no consultation. The Central Area Committee calls on the OPW to broaden access to the Park by perhaps opening pedestrian gates and allows broader pedestrian access around these road works. ORDER: Agreed. Letter to be sent to the OPW outlining the above and the OPW to be invited to a meeting to discuss issues such as the above and communication in general.
