Emergency Motion in the name of Councillor Gary Gannon
The members of this Central Area Committee are growing increasingly concerned at the loss of community based services in the North Inner City.
In particular, we note with worry that CASPr (Community After Schools Project) which provides invaluable childcare and after school care facilities in the Dublin 1 Area, will effectively be forced to cut by 50%, the services that they provide to the area as a consequence of the austerity cuts to Community Employment (CE) which remain in place today.
We request that an invite be sent to CASPr director Ann Carroll to attend the next meeting of the Central Area Committee to make a presentation on how her vital service is now at risk of closure.
ORDER: Agreed.
Emergency Motion in the name of Councillor Gary Gannon
That this committee notes that the decision taken at our meeting of July 12th not to recommend the Part 8 Proposal on the Clontarf to City Centre was omitted in Report 300/2017 presented to the full City Council for consideration on October 2nd, notwithstanding the fact that the same report referred to previously held meetings on the same proposal held in 2015.
ORDER: Agreed.
