Motions
That this Council agrees to work with others to develop and maintain an active database for the location of all Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) in the County, whilst promoting information on maintenance, training and registration on the exact location of these life saving devices.
That this council reaffirms its commitment to protect and uphold the rights of the transgender community locally and enshrines its commitment to stand in solidarity and campaign alongside the trans community for access to education, healthcare and resources, especially as we approach Trans Pride (July 16th).
That this Council calls on the Taoiseach to immediately implement a set of measures to tackle the Cost of Living Crisis that is Devastating Families across the State from both Working and Middle Class Demographics, which has seen 70% increases in Heating Oil, 30% increase in Gas, 25% increase in Electricity, 8% Increase in Rents and €1,200 average increase in petrol prices for the average driver along with increases in Groceries and other Essential Goods. This has resulted in the Highest inflation rates in 20 years of more than 5,5% and that's without the Governments scandalous proposed increases in Carbon Tax at a time of crisis. These measures at the least should include: The introduction of a living wage, the introduction of a cost of living payment based on annual income, the scrapping of Carbon Tax Increases, a ban on Rent increases for 3 years, Increase in Fuel allowance criteria, Removal of VAT on Energy Bills during winter Months, the Establishment of a discretionary utility debt Fund. These measures should form a base for tackling the crisis for struggling Families across the State.
That this Council supports the development of Community Sustainable Development Goals Dashboards throughout SDCC to provide a data driven response to collecting and celebrating our communities' actions and progress in working towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.'
That this Council confirms its pride in, and continued support for, Ireland's traditional policy of military neutrality, and writes to the Taoiseach to declare these views.
Following on from the Motion passed at April 2021 Council Meeting

That this Council writes to Dublin City Council informing them of the recent commemoration by South Dublin County Council of Dr. Noel Browne and express our support for a memorial or commemorative piece in Dublin City. We believe such a project would be merited and have public support.
That this Council commits to writing to the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to ask him when the state will act on the Vaccine Trials, does the state intend apologizing for the trials that were carried out in Many institutions while innocent children were in the care of the state and religious orders and were carried out without parental consent, and to ask what he, as Minister intends to do for survivors of the Vaccine Trials and to give details of the State’s position on these illegal trials?
This County Council agrees to prioritise vulnerable road users when engaging in road works throughout the county, ensuring that, where possible, cycle lanes are accommodated and footpaths are unobstructed.

That this Council declares that, given recent revelations, it has no confidence in An Bord Pleanála. Current members of the board should step down or be removed, and replacements sourced via an independent recruiter. Should the motion be agreed a letter issues to An Taoiseach, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and Minister of State, with special responsibility for Local Government and Planning.
