DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL
SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE
15th November, 2023
M280 Councillor Michael Pidgeon
That this Area Committee supports including St. Alban's Road, Greenville Terrace and Washington Street into the red tariff zone for paid parking. All the streets are currently pay and display in the green tariff zone, and now face high parking demands during events at the National Stadium.
M281 Councillor Vincent Jackson
That Dublin City Council please look at having a public monument erected in the Inchicore / Kilmainham area of Dublin in memory of those from the Area who gave their lives for the cause of freedom in 1936 in the international brigade and who fought against the fascist forces of General Franco in Spain. A large number from the Inchicore / Bulfin area made the ultimate sacrifice here.
M282 Councillor Vincent Jackson
That Dublin City Council please ensure transparent community consultation is provided for as part of the LDA proposals for Affordable, cost rental and social housing in the Cherry Orchard Area for far too long the area has got social housing and have always had to wait for community facilities we must learn from the past and ensure that once and for all we provide the facilities and services needed in this large area.
M283 Councillors Vincent Jackson and Daithí Doolan
That this Committee thanks all the groups in the South Central Area for the fantastic work in providing so many family friendly activities over the Halloween Season, Gardaí, Community Development Staff, Sports Development Officers, Youth Services, Community Groups Parish Groups all provided a great experience for all in a safe, fun way for all.
M284 Councillor Máire Devine
That this Area Committee welcomes the proposal from Inland Waterways Ireland to establish a slipway at the desired location of the Grand canal adjacent to Dolphin House that will allow access for all to enjoy and add to the proposed amenities that are planned to increase the use of this blue way in our area.
M285 Councillor Máire Devine
That this Area Committee request that the relevant council departments seek to compel the National Boxing Stadium to produce an agreed traffic management plan to provide parking for their clients which will prioritise consideration for their neighbours and mitigate the ongoing significant influx of visitor traffic in local residential streets.
M286 Councillor Máire Devine
This Committee expresses concern at the lack of testing for PFAS - forever man-made chemicals-in our drinking water. These complex chemical pollutants are of huge concern to human and environmental health and the lack of urgency for testing is worrying. We request that a report be compiled and presented to elected members to inform how best we can mitigate the hazards that these chemicals represent.
M287 Councillor Sophie Nicoullaud
For the Director of Services to plan for a full local consultation and community engagement process with all Bluebell residents on the development of DCC land by the LDA. That a public meeting in Bluebell inviting all Bluebell residents is set up. That each resident is delivered a leaflet with a presentation of the plan in each mail box. That an office is set up in Bluebell to display the plans at all time, that the office would be staffed on a regular basis on a set day and time to allow the community to engage with the LDA and DCC on this. It is critical that the planning process is inclusive and participative from the start.
M288 Councillor Sophie Nicoullaud
For the Director of Services to organise and meet reps from residents group in Drimnagh about the issue around the roundabout at Galtymore Road and Sperrin Road. To invite Barry McDonald of Dublin Bus and bus drivers unions reps and DCC Road engineer. Buses can't go through the island especially when cars are parks illegally. There is no pedestrian crossing marking. The next bus models will be bigger, this roundabout needs to be reviewed. That an Garda Síochána be present at the meeting on site as well.
M289 Councillor Hazel de Nortúin
Considering that Ballyfermot Civic Centre is the focal point of the Community and Dublin City Council, this Area Committee agrees to continue its support for funding to be allocated in Dublin City Councils Capital Budget. We also support a more integrated approach to Dublin City Council local services and accessibility.
