“That this Area Committee write to the Department of Education seeking immediate action to redress the shortfall of additional needs support in schools in this LEA. We ask also that the Department respond to this Area Committee giving their view as to the needs and challenges facing schools in the LEA’s in Dublin 24.
Parents, teachers and advocacy groups have all expressed concern at the potential impact of the NCSE (National Council for Special Education) plan to frontload SNA provision based on existing provisions rather than existing needs.
We call on the Department to engage in a fulsome discussion with schools regarding the shortfall in services, how that gap is to be closed and how we best develop inclusiveness and opportunity within education.”
That this Area Committee calls on the Minister for Equality and Justice to recognize the fact that the current Tallaght Garda Station is overcrowded and does not meet the needs of a growing and developing Tallaght and that the provision of a second Garda Station, within the Tallaght area, is urgently needed.
"Taking account of the negative over development at City West Tallaght this Area Committee calls on the incoming Minister responsible for Housing, planning and Local Government to end the practice of Strategic Housing Developments and return to ensuring guidelines are set down through Local Area Plans and Development plans that take full account of the needs of communities- existing and new- and give improved democratic input and accountability"
