DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL
SOUTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE
18th October 2017
550 Councillor Pat Dunne
This Area Committee praises the work carried out by the Chief Fire Officer in investigating and taking action regarding fire and safety hazards in private rented residential accommodation in the area. We believe that this work would be better coordinated if our Planning Enforcement Section were more proactive in liaising with the Chief Fire Officer in this regard.
551 Councillor Vincent Jackson
Can Dublin City Council and Waterways Ireland look into the ongoing difficulties associated with the kissing gates at the 6th Loch at Kylemore Road, Ballyfermot. I am aware this location is causing no end of problems for people using this wonderful cycleway / walk-way. I regret to say, if this behaviour is allowed take route it will ruin this wonderful amenity and allow an anti-social problem take root.
552 Councillor Paul Hand
That this Area Committee requests that the Transportation Department of Dublin City Council install additional Sheffield Stands and other cyclist parking infrastructure in the Ballyfermot/Cherry Orchard and Park West areas of the City.
553 Councillor Greg Kelly
The Area Committee is concerned and angry that the residents of Bluebell, Dublin 12, had to go without water for a number of days last week, and that were not informed that the supply would be off. The water was off due to connections of new housing to the water supply. Irish Water was aware in advance of this outage and no notice was given to either the residents or councillors. We are calling on Irish Water to make sure that for any future planned outage notice will be given to all residents affected and local councillors are informed, that if the outage lasts more than 12 hours that water tankers are provided, and that supply is re-established as quick as possible.
554 Councillor Hazel de Nortúin
This Area Committee will consult with local residents in Upper Ballyfermot and Cherry Orchard to construct a traffic plan considering the amount of housing developments coming on line.
555 Councillor Greg Kelly
This Area Committee send its solidarity to the people of Catalonia, and condemns the Spanish Government for the brutal treatment of ordinary citizens who wanted to express their democratic right to vote. The Area Committee also calls on the Irish Government and the EU to recognise the right of a person to have their vote and respect the voice of the people of Catalonia. Finally as a sign of Solidarity we call on Dublin City Council to fly the Flag of Catalonia over City Hall.
