Motion 1 from Councillor Tara Deacy
That this committee agrees to request that the Dog Warden for the area be present in Bushy Park for four Saturday mornings in the coming weeks. Every Saturday morning hundreds of children play various sports and use the park recreationally. Hundreds of people also attend the markets and enjoy the green space during this time. However the number of dogs being let off their lead at this time has increased hugely, whilst I do understand their need to run around it is unfair on all the other patrons of this green space and can cause distress and anxiety particularly for young children. It needs to be addressed.
Motion 2 from Councillor Mary Freehill
The Rathmines Town Hall is a very important landmark Listed Building in Rathmines and deserved to be conserved and protected. While it’s in the ownership of Dublin City Council, currently it’s on a long lease to CDETB (City of Dublin Education & Training Board). The clock needs to be conserved and the fabric of the building needs to be protected. It is agreed that this committee co-operates in any way possible to ensure that the ETB can help them attain a grant under The community Heritage Scheme to carry out a Community Management Plan Assessment of the Building.
Motion 3 from Councillor Mary Freehill
There is an alarming number of roads in Kimmage Rathmines Ward that no longer have DCC street signs displayed at road entrances on walls or houses. These signs are particularly lacking in the Crumlin end of the ward area. That DCC carry out an audit of street signs as a first step towards replacing these signs.
Motion 4 from Councillor Mary Freehill
With regard to the Gulistan housing development this committee agrees that the stone building on the site will be conserved and roofed. To facilitate community needs It is essential that it remains in the ownership of DCC to address the acute shortage of local public buildings. While it is agreed to make this a community use building it is recognised that it may need to be leased for day use e.g. coffee bar to cover running cost of the building.
Motion 5 from Councillor Mary Freehill
You will see details below regarding the very dangerous traffic situation on Terenure Road West and wish to table the following motion to December meeting please:
Due to the very dangerous traffic situation on Terenure Road West that the Traffic Dept. urgently arrange to have the yellow traffic boxes to rejoining roads repainted. The problem is particularly severe on Glenavy Park and this road should be treated as a priority please.
“I am a resident in Glenavy Park in Terenure. Of late, myself and my neighbours in Glenavy Park are finding it increasingly difficult to drive into and out of our street onto Terenure Road West, particularly in the mornings and afternoons. The reason for this is because the traffic is sitting in the yellow box at the entrance to our road because the yellow box paint is so faded it's almost impossible to see. This is the same for all the yellow boxes along Terenure Road West, from Terenure Village to the KCR junction. It is such an easy thing to fix and would greatly help the residents of the roads off TRW. It won't be long until there is an accident on this road. I have already experienced unprovoked road rage from other drivers sitting in the yellow box outside my road as I tried to drive off TRW onto Glenavy Park. Could you please ask the council to repaint these yellow boxes as a priority as soon as possible?”
Motion 6 from Councillor Mannix Flynn
That this meeting of the SEA call on Dublin City Council to completely replace the lift in City Hall. This lift has broken down too many times in the past year. It is unreliable and a health and safety issue. People were trapped in this lift and had to be rescued. It is unacceptable in this day and age for a local authority to put people’s safety at risk. Furthermore when this lift is out of order or broken many with disabilities, including councillors, have to take to a very steep staircase and many an unable to do this. This lift needs to be replaced ASAP. Further, that this report include if any of the lifts in Civic offices have been out of order in the last two years? And for how long?
Motion 7 from Councillors Tara Deacy and Pat Dunne
That this committee agree that a meeting be convened with all relevant stakeholders to address the ongoing parking issues impacting the residents on Armagh Road. Both Cllr. Dunne and Cllr. Deacy have raised this issue a number of times and little or no action has taken place.
