Motions
Mayors Business
Taking part in organised physical events has a positive impact on our physical and mental health however single use plastics used in these events have a negative impact on our environment. This Council calls on the Chief Executive to work with all the relevant stakeholders involved in organising both Gael Force and the 10k SEAI race this year in our County, making these events waste free and enabling SDCC to be a leading authority in combating single use plastics.
That this Council recognizes the work of Local Policing Forums in serving our Communities and seeks to establish such policing forums across all remaining Area Committees in our County
Due to the number of Termination of Tenancy notices served by Tuath Housing on the Transitional Tenants in Tallaght Cross for over holding on their 18 month lease, that this Council engage with Tuath Housing and the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Eoghan Murphy and confirm that homeless people in Transitional Housing will not be pursued through the Residential Tenancies Board and that any actions involving the RTB and Tuath Housing at the Tallaght Cross units be withdrawn.
That South Dublin County Council supports the extension of Metro North from Charlemont to Knocklyon and the connection of the red Luas from Tallaght to Booterstown. The Metro extension to Knocklyon would be connected from Charlemont to Knocklyon via Harolds Cross, Terenure and Rathfarnham. The Tallaght to Booterstown Luas link would create a much-needed south orbital route connecting 5 rail links into the city (ie the existing red and green line Luas, the proposed Knocklyon and UCD Metro and the existing Dart at Booterstown - other stops are indicated on the attached maps).

This council supports fare-free public transport in Ireland, funded through increased Government subvention, as a key initiative in reducing car usage, tackling CO2 emissions and increasing connectivity. We request an update from the relevant Minister as to what studies have been undertaken regarding the provision of free public transport?
With waiting times on the council housing list reaching 12 plus years, and shortage of private rental accommodation, that this council permits families who have children and grandchildren living with them in overcrowded dwellings, permission to have mobile homes in their back gardens to accommodate them.
