Motion

Councillor G. O'Connell
Responsibility:
A//Director of Housing, Social & Community Development

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.

To ask the Chief Executive when can we expect the changing place facility to be installed in County Hall?

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor B. Lawlor, Councillor V. Casserly, Councillor K. Egan
Responsibility:
Director of Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development

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.
