Amended Emergency motion in the name of Councillor Declan Meenagh That this Central Area Committee calls on the traffic and transport department to issue a report on how speed of cyclists can be controlled on spaces where they share space with pedestrians. ORDER: Agreed. Emergency Motion in the name of Councillor Christy Burke That this Central Area Committee agrees that Dublin City Council assist Dublin City Coastal Rowing Club in providing a space to launch and recover their boats.

We were also informed that no cost/benefit analysis had taken place when it is clearly evident that this centre has an important and vital role in encouraging recycling and all the benefits coming from this activity. Given that the Ringsend Civic Amenity Site and the proposed North City Operations Depot facilities are not readily accessible (and in the case of the North City depot not yet operational) this committee instructs the Area Manager to immediately engage with Waste Management Services with a view to obtaining a commitment that the Shamrock Terrace Recycling centre will not be downsized and that all current services will be continued until and unless a nearby site is identified.
