That this committee writes to the Park Superintendent of the Phoenix Park in the OPW to request as a matter of priority all trees with protective metal fences be inspected in order to remove the ones that are damaging the trunk and or the roots of the trees.

Following the Emergency Motion passed last month vis a vis essential stabilising works at the Iveagh Market, that this committee will provide an update on the ownership issues and provide a schedule of works to the members that reflects the urgency required to prevent further structure devastation.

In light of the serious attack on a young woman and her friend in the Ballyfermot Area on the evening of the 30th of December last that this committee calls upon all the institutions of the state to take a pro-active role in addressing underlining issues which create the environment that allows this behaviour take hold. Looking at the efforts under the then Taoiseach Enda Kenny in setting up the North Inner-City Initiative is a model we should look at. I feel the current model of policing cannot deliver the safe communities 98% of the population aspire to. Can this committee also write to the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform Ms Helen McEntee TD, Garda Commissioner Drew Harrison & An Taoiseach Mr Michael Martin TD looking to start that conversation with statutory and NGO on the ground with a view to addressing the issues.
M147
That this Committee asks the Department of Justice to outline the legal status once and for all on the sale and ownership of scrambler bikes and Quads which are destroying our Parks and open spaces. They are creating all sorts of anti-social issues and the public needs leadership on what can / is been done to address this matter.

The Area Committee, on behalf of local residents, records its gratitude for the area office and its staff installing Christmas trees in Cherry Orchard, Ballyfermot, Bluebell and across Dublin South Central and particular thanks for the Christmas lights in Croftwood, Cherry Orchard.
