The
South East Area is one of 5 administrative areas used by
Dublin City Council to co-ordinate the delivery of services in the
city. The Area stretches south from the River Liffey to Terenure
and east along the Dodder over to the Merrion Gates on the coast. It is a very diverse
district containing part of the medieval core of Dublin, the
City’s premier shopping district, the cultural quarter of
Temple Bar, Inner City commercial and residential districts and
suburban villages such as Ringsend, Irishtown, Sandymount, Ranelagh, Rathmines, Terenure and
Rathgar. Pleasant canal walks, coastal facilities, parks and
elegant squares and the many local sports clubs provide a host of
recreational amenities.
Councillors elected to represent the South East Area of Dublin
City meet on a monthly basis in the Council Chamber, City Hall,
Dublin 2
The
meetings take place at 3pm (subject to change) on the 2nd Monday of
each month except August.
What happens at a Committee
meeting?
The
South East Area Committee discusses issues of relevance to the area
and makes recommendations on these issues to the City
Council.
A
typical meeting will deal with topics such as:
- Traffic
- Housing
- Parks
- Planning
The
meeting also usually includes detailed presentations requested by
Councillors on current planning applications of particular
significance to local people. In addition the meeting affords each
Councillor the opportunity to ask questions on behalf of local
residents to get the support of the Committee by way of a motion,
for more significant local issues.
If a
local issue is considered to have citywide significance the
Committee can also refer a motion to the full City Council for
consideration.
Can I attend a Committee meeting?
Anyone
can attend a South East Area Committee Meeting but spaces are
limited. If you would like to attend a meeting, contact your
local Councillor who can provide you with an invitation.
