Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the Manager to take action to resolve the issues outlined regarding the safety of access at the two pedestrian entrances to Herbert Park from Clyde Lane:

·         The two entrances / exits to and from Herbert Park onto Clyde Lane and the danger to pedestrians exiting onto the Lane from the park.

·         The total lack of signage with regard to the above.

·         The fact that both exits are flush with the existing railings and so create a serious danger to adults and children exiting the park.  There are no paths adjacent to either exits.  The amount of vehicular traffic is increasing all the time in Clyde Lane and the issue is an accident waiting to happen.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 2 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee agrees, in order to improve traffic safety and vision and in accordance with the relevant sections of the Road Traffic (T&P) Regulations 1997 that double yellow lines be placed along the entire length of wall from the rear of 144 Merrion Road to 136 Merrion Road inclusive in lieu of the free parking that is there, or that disc parking be installed at the mid-point of this stretch – to provide for a maximum of 5 / 6 car spaces with double yellow lines on the balance thereby allowing clear space and vision for drivers turning both sets of corners.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 3 from Councillors Dermot Lacey and Paddy McCartan

This committee requests the Lord Mayor and the Chief Executive to write to the government requesting that all appropriate steps be made to repatriate the bodies of James Joyce, his wife Nora (and others buried in the same grave) to Ireland as was the desire of James Joyce as expressed by his wife Nora and son at the time of his death, in time for the 100^th anniversary of the publication of Ulysses in February 2022.

Order: For further discussion.

Motion 4 from Councillor Mary Freehill

Would the Manager please set out the legislative amendments needed to strengthen the Council’s hand in dealing with noise?  Our current powers are very weak and we are dependent on the opinion of the courts to be able to take action on any case.  If it is difficult to give an opinion on this, perhaps we could set up a working group to look at how local authorities deal with this problem in other countries and we could put together recommendations which we could present to the Dáil.

Order:Moved by Cllr. Lacey.  Report to Councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Deirdre Conroy

That this committee would arrange a working group between relevant officers and councillors with the NTA Deputy CEO and Roughan O’Donovan consulting engineers, in relation to the proposals that will alter roads and remove access to side roads in these communities, in order to fully represent residents and small businesses where parking is removed, trees are removed, residential access where roads are blocked and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
