In a world we live in today, Mental health is a major concern for everyone and unfortunately it is increasing rapidly.  I think we can and should do more to help.  Try reach out to all ages suffering from Mental Health and depression.  Let them know that there is support out there, and society does really care. I would like to put a better support systems in place, with helplines, and quotes that could bring people to a happier place.  I would like for us to have a look at train/dart stations, for a start as people can tragically end their suffering there.  I think we could start by placing boards/posters there, with quotes of support and numbers of helplines. I know that at the Wexford bridge they place teddies along the bridge and patrol the bridge.  I would be delighted if you have any other ideas along with my Councillor friends.  Thanking you.

That the North Central Area Committee calls on the Manager or the relevant Dublin City Council official to end the use of flashing amber pedestrian light signals at the Artane roundabout on the Malahide Road, Gracefield Road, Ardlea Road intersection. Failing this we request said person to attend a monthly meeting of the North Central Area Committee to explain and justify the use of this pedestrian light signal.

The Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to urgently convene a meeting of local football clubs, public representatives and relevant council officials to discuss the planned all-weather football pitch to be located on the Glin Road and delivered by the end of 2025; the Oscar Traynor Woods Community Gain Fund and other local  facilities/infrastructure-related issues of importance to the volunteers who organise and coach the young people of the area.

That after the recent sea over topping on the on Clontarf promenade and the seemingly lack of urgency for a proper integrated flood defence solution, when we have an agreed design framework, with Uisce Eireann planning to start watermain replacement soon from Alfie Byrne Road along the promenade and as we had agreed to seek an integrated multipurpose design solution that this community that this committee agrees to seek a meeting with the Minister, the OPW,  Uisce Eireann, the Clontarf flood defence working group, DCC engineers, parks executive, architects, biodiversity officers,  and  DCC active travel team to seek works to be given the urgency and funding necessary to complete within the agreed timeline of the Dublin City Council development plan.

That this committee agrees that due to the abuse of clothes banks with regular dumping and the need to reduce wasted textile garments which are damaging to the environment,  that we support alternative pilot for a swap/free clothes shop, market with garment up-styling, altering and repair demonstrations.

This Area Committee calls on the manager refer to the “eurobin” type bins used by the City Council in senior citizen complexes, say if he is aware that the majority of senior citizen tenants cannot manage to open the lids of same because of the height and weight of these large lids and say if he can take the necessary steps to bring about change, i.e. install an opening lower down the side of the bin that could be more easily accessed.
