DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL
SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE
21st February 2018
569 Councillor Críona Ní Dhálaigh & Councillor Ray McHugh
That this Area Committee supports the Canalway Educate Together, Basin Lane, Dublin 8’s campaign for additional and much needed funding for additional accommodation, upgrading of toilets, heating and windows. And call on the Minister for Education to meet with the parents and principle to hear their case.
570 Councillor Cllr. Hazel de Nortúin
This
Council notes the 100th anniversary of granting (some) women
the vote as a result of their heroic struggle for the
suffrage.
It also notes how little progress has been made as regards women's
participation in politics since the days when Countess Markievicz was the first woman elected to the
British Parliament. This Council
recognises that the barriers to women's political participation are
both ideological and material - particularly with no maternity or
childcare support.
This Area Committee therefore supports the call for an urgent programme of action to counteract this blatant inequality and a solution to the practice of deducting pay for absence from Council meetings as a result of pregnancy, and connected health issues or child care emergencies.
571 Councillor Cllr. Tina Mac Veigh
This Area Committee agrees to meet with residents in Blackpitts to ensure priority will be given to a number of maintenance requests for roads, footpaths and the public domain.
572 Councillor Daithi Doolan
In noting the potential of the proposed Cherry Orchard LAP, this Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council Planning Department to fully engage with residents, community groups, services and statutory agencies during the process. This will ensure the community is central to any final agreed plan.
573 Councillor Pat Dunne & Cllr. Paul Hand
This Area Committee notes the successful usage of Pay as you Go Environmental Waste Compaction systems in a number of Local Authority areas outside Dublin. These compactors allow for householders to legally dispose of bagged household waste at convenient locations such as garage forecourts, supermarket car parks and civic bring centres. The compactors have separate sections for brown, green and black bag waste. The provision of these pay as you go compactors gives an alternative method of disposing of waste without having to pay an annual service charge to a kerbside waste collection company. This system is particularly of interest to those households who do not generate significant amounts of waste. We ask our Waste Management Services to consider a pilot scheme for this system in Dublin South Central.
574 Councillor Cllr. Greg Kelly
This
Area Committee notes the HSE commitment to provide the best primary
health care service for the community of Drimnagh, and that we recognise as councillors that
the current Primary Health Care Centre is not up to the standard to
provide this. We call on the relevant body whether this is HSE
Estates or the Department of Health, and in turn the Minister, to
make the funds available for the Curlew Road Primary Health Care
Centre in Drimnagh. We ask the relevant
body to outline to the councillors for Ballyfermot/Drimnagh
ward what funding will be made available, when this funding will be
made available, what work will take place and a timeline of when
work will take place?
575 Councillor Cllr. Paul Hand
That this Area Committee requests that Dublin City Council immediately cease all contracts with Aramark in providing catering and other services to Dublin City Council.
576 Councillor Cllr. Tina Mac Veigh
This Area Committee agrees that residents in Rialto will be included in the development of the Linear Park along James Walk.
577 Councillor Cllr. Greg Kelly
This Area Committee calls on
Dublin City Council to install defibrillators in all DCC Library's
and provide training for the staff. DCC have already been proactive
in getting defibrillators in DCC buildings but our Library’s
are lacking.
