By extension, this Council acknowledges the well documented difficulties of trying to rear children in such close quarters with the stigma of Homelessness attached is very much amplified for larger families.

This Council agrees that carbon tax is not the answer to tackle climate change. Carbon tax is a regressive tax. It targets the wrong people and does not challenge the real cause of carbon emissions .

To call on the Chief Executive to review plans for Tallaght Stadium after the opening of the South Stand on Sunday 24th March and the inadequate area given for visitors requiring use of the accessible stand. For a project which had multimillion investment, comfortable viewing should be standard and well thought through, not completed in a cost saving manner. In addition, with circa 2million invested, I call on the chief executive to examine why a changing place facility was also not installed as part of the new build. With further building scheduled, it would be beneficial to the stadium, the council and most importantly visitors, that access is to equal standard for all guests within what we strive to call our Accessible County.
Given the National Housing Crises and the fact that its impact on members of the Traveller Community can be most severe, and building on the track record of this Council in providing Traveller Accommodation, this Council being very concerned at the plight of those Traveller families who, in the absence of the intended network of Transitional Halting sites and camping legislation and who have a necessity to move with their mobile home, have very little or no option except to set up temporary camps in unauthorised locations and without essential sanatory and other supportive services in this County, often with consequential detrimental effects on local residential areas, calls on the Chief Executive to negotiate with the Management of the Camac Valley Caravan Park for the reservation of at least 10 pitches to be used as a Pilot Transitional Site for Travellers, until such time as a purpose built Transition site is provided for Travellers in the Greater Dublin Area, and that Council Management draw up criteria and rules for the regulation of such a facility, including the maximum period of stay on any pitch, and in doing so that the Council consult with, and seek the support of: the Department of Housing, Community and Local Government, the three other Dublin Local Authorities, The Dublin Homeless Executive, the Irish Traveller Movement, the Clondalkin and Tallaght Traveller Support Groups and the SDCC LTACC.

That this Area Committee notes, since the roundabout was installed at the end of the R 835 and Dodsboro Road, HGV's travelling down the R 835 are too big to go around the roundabout and therefore are going up on the path. This is a safety issue for pedestrian's and also they are destroying the grass verges. Because of this the tidy towns and residents in that area have asked that we make the R 835 HGV free.
