Minutes: The following Motions to the Area Managers were tabled: Item 1 Motion in the name of Councillor Declan Meenagh That the Central Area Committee agree for arrangements to be made to build on the successful pilot project providing a seating area at a Café on Fassaugh Avenue, Cabra and provide a seating area for 12 months for any café on the road who wants it. We have had a lot of success in town for the city recovery and it is time Cabra Village benefits from this as well. ORDER: Agreed. Item 2 Motion in the name of Councillor Seamas McGrattan That this Area Committee condemns the decision to close the Intreo office on the Navan Road and calls on the Minister for Social Protection to immediately reopen this vital community facility. ORDER: Agreed. Item 3 Motion in the name of Councillor Nial Ring That this Area Committee agrees that, following the Chief Executives confirmation to me that the services being provided at the Shamrock Terrace Recycling facility, the employment status of the staff currently employed at the centre will be reviewed and assurances given to them that not only will the centre be retained but that their jobs will be retained also. ORDER: Agreed. Item 4 Motion in the name of Councillor Janet Horner That this Area Committee agrees that a plan should be brought forward immediately to replace the trees felled along West Road in East Wall and for options for green walls and other opportunities for further greening to be explored. ORDER: Agreed. Item 5 Motion in the name of Councillor Janet Horner That this Area Committee requests an update from eir on their removal of redundant phone boxes across the central area, a schedule for when all boxes will be removed in order to address the ongoing contribution to dereliction and littering of the city streets. ORDER: Agreed.

One of the development agreement conditions required the successful tenderer to commence work within four weeks of the date of grant of planning permission. An Bord Pleanála granted planning permission on the 13^th September 2022. Bartra chose to judicially review the permission granted to ensure a more profitable development. Such a choice by the developer should not negate the commencement condition of the development agreement. An Bord Pleanála amended the permission, conceding to Bartra’s argument, on the 11^th March 2022 giving a green light to the development to commence. As of 26^th October, more than a year after the original planning permission was granted and 7 months after An Bord Pleanála rescinded the restriction on the sale of the private apartments, no work has begun on the site. This is a clear breach of the development agreement. A condition of the development agreement allows Dublin ... view the full minutes text for item 19.
