We call on the Chief Executive to explore the use of the St. Michaels Estate funding model for similar projects in South Dublin.
In view of the fact that South Dublin County Council will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its founding (1994) in 2019, will the Chief Executive indicate if there are any plans to mark the occasion and if so, will he inform this Council.
The elected members of this council, in light of the Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy’s statement that money is available for the council building on public land, request that the Chief Executive immediately makes plans for large sites (minimum 100 units) and make applications to the Department to draw down this money. This would involve using public land to build a combination of local authority housing and affordable housing for those not able to afford a house on the private market.

This Council welcomes the decision of the Department of Housing and Dublin City Council to shift the funding model for the St Michael’s estate housing development from a private led to a fully publicly led model through loans from the European Investment Bank. This will ensure that the development of that site will be better placed to meet the social and affordable housing needs of the local community. We call on the Chief Executive to explore the use of this funding model for similar projects in South Dublin including on The Grange/Kilcarberry site in Clondalkin.

That this Area Committee requests that the Chief Executive arranges a site meeting with the residents of Glenvale Estate to see what work under current budgets, can be done by cutting back bushes and trees on the Lucan-Newlands Road. There had been anti-social behaviour in the area and by cleaning up the trees and scrubs this may help with the issues.
"To ask the Chief Executive to inform this Area Committee if any Part 8 exists on the open space between Tree Park Road and the Greenhills Road and Castletymon Road Junction, which is a direct pedestrian route to Tymon Park, Castletymon Road and local schools. Would he also indicate why this Part 8, if any, should impede the provision of a pedestrian footpath on this open space?"
