Emergency motion in the name of Councillor Nial Ring

 

That this committee rejects any plan to close or downgrade the recycling centre at Shamrock Cottages, North Strand, and that this centre should not be included in any plans which would involve a reduction of the services available there, or indeed which could result in the entire facility being closed. This committee further requests the Area Manager to give an unequivocal statement that the centre will not only remain open but that a review thereof will be immediately undertaken with a view to enhancing the centre and the excellent recycling facilities it offers to the area.

Motion in the name of Councillor Declan Meenagh

 

That this Central Area Committee calls on the Area Manager to ask for a report on how the Council co-ordinates utilities digging up roads in the Central Area, how the Council regulates communication between contractors and residents and how the Council enforces cases where communication is poor.  To use Leix Road as an example of a road where there have been 4 different sets of road works in the past 2 years and to see how this can be avoided.

ORDER:         Agreed

Item 4

Motion in the name of Councillors Nial Ring and Cieran Perry

 

That this Area Committee welcomes the news that Dublin City Council officials met with Shelbourne Football Club Board members recently, at which a proposal was submitted by the club to purchase Tolka Park from Dublin City Council and redevelop it into a multi-sport stadium. Furthermore, this committee fully supports the retention of Tolka Park as a sports stadium into the future and calls for the current zoning and use of the site to be protected.

In addition, this committee reiterates its support for the redevelopment of Dalymount and sees both projects as complementary in the provision of two state of the art sports stadia/facilities on the Northside of Dublin.

 

ORDER:     Agreed

 

Item 5

 

Motion in the name of Councillor Joe Costello

That this Central Area Committee affirms that every worker deserves the dignity and respect that comes with the right to union membership and the right to collective bargaining and workplace representation; calls on the Irish Government to initiate an amendment to Article 40.6.1.(iii) of the Irish Constitution so as to guarantee the right of Trade Unions to represent and engage in collective bargaining to ensure that every worker has the fundamental Human Right to be represented in work by a trade union, and that employers be required to negotiate with their employee representatives.

 

ORDER:         Agreed

 

Item 6

Motion in the name of Councillor Cieran Perry

That this Central Area Committee requests the Traffic Advisory Group prioritises a review of the Cabra Cross junction on the Navan Road. My query to the Transportation. Road Safety. Policy, Strategy and Innovation Section revealed that there are no comprehensive statistics recorded for crashes at this junction, as neither the Garda nor the RSA record collisions where no deaths or injuries occur. There are regular reports of traffic accidents at this spot which appear not to be recorded anywhere.

 

ORDER:     Not agreed. 

 

Item 7

Motion in the name of Councillor Colm O’Rourke

That this Central Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to expedite the procedure for Pelletstown (Rathborne and Royal Canal Park) to be ‘Taken-in-Charge’ as soon as possible, for the Council to take responsibility for the upkeep and development of the public domain and to ensure that the community gain the complete services and amenities that this area is currently not receiving. If this is not possible, this Central Area Committee calls for sections of Pelletstown that have finished construction to be ‘Taken-in-Charge’ by Dublin CityCouncil, and the remaining sections that are yet to be fully developed are subsequently ‘Taken-in-Charge’ when construction ends. 

 

ORDER:     Agenda item for next month’s committee
