DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL
SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE
20th March 2024
M312 Councillor Kelsey May Daly
That this Area Committee recognises the invaluable work done in Warrenmount Adult Education Centre since 1995 to provide education to adult learners. The centre is a highly relied on resource for community engagement and accessible education and its closure would result in hundreds of displaced learners and tutors alike with no other clear option for relocation. Therefore, this Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to acquire the premises to ensure that it remains a centre of education for the community.
M313 Councillor Kelsey May Daly
That this Area Committee directs the Director of Services to explore options to open the green space at the St Teresa's Gardens site to the public this summer and to present options at the next area committee. The community is negatively impacted by the dire lack of green spaces for children and families and therefore the council should consider any options including the Teresa’s Gardens site, available to make space for recreation with the upcoming outdoor season.
M314 Councillor Sophie Nicoullaud
For this Committee to support the request from local social workers among others to add more 3 beds in the Emmet Road Project. That this Committee writes to the Minister for Housing expressing our support and asking for his support to provide housing for families.
M315 Councillor Vincent Jackson
That Dublin City Council please look at using the new government legislation in relation use of CCTV to deter fly-tipping of waste to install cameras in the lane way from Kylemore Road Ballyfermot to Thomond Road. Neighbours are fed up with the constant filth and dirt those people dumping are responsible for. Can some of the waste be checked to see if we can find those responsible adjoining gardens are left with litter and odours from this very busy laneway.
M316 Councillor Vincent Jackson
That Dublin City Council seek to preserve all the various archaeological finds recently discovered whilst construction of the new apartments takes place on the Old De La Salle Monastery and School site at Ballyfermot Road Dublin 10. Can DCC please indicate who will be responsible to ensure that all finds are properly recorded and documented? The Ballyfermot Heritage Group is very worried that the needs of the contractor will take precedent over the need to archive and record human remains etc. which we believe are now located on this vast site.
M317 Councillor Máire Devine
This Committee is concerned at the number of established trees that have become damaged by construction works and subsequently are recommended for removal. We ask that the planning conditions for proposed developments be expanded so that trees are more robustly protected, regularly inspected and increased fines be included in any granted planning applications.
M318 Councillor Máire Devine
This Committee recognises that with the significant developments in Dublin 8, especially the National Children’s Hospital & St. James Hospital campus, parking availability for local residents has been very challenging. We recommend that the zoning map presently provided for in the Parking Control Bye-Laws be revised and updated to reflect the pressures placed on areas of high demand.
M319 Hazel de Nortúin
That the South Central Area Committee invites Dynamic Drimnagh into the Council Chamber for a presentation on their vision for Drimnagh.
