This Committee condemns the annual display of hate which sees the burning of the Irish National Flag on the 11th of July in preparation for the 12th of July "celebrations" in Unionist areas. The burning of our National Flag and other effigies is not culture. It is a hate crime and this Committee agrees to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to speak with his British counterpart  and to relay our sentiments in the strongest possible way.

"Could the Chief Executive outline the transport and infrastructure improvements being considered for the Ballycullen/Old Court area. A site has been acquired for a secondary school on Ballycullen Road and there is insufficient infrastructure in place to cater for existing levels of pedestrians, cyclists and traffic in this area – with residents reporting extremely long delays in this area (report already supplied to CE).

A planning application for a secondary school at this site should not be considered until proposals for improvements are put forward.  If this motion is passed, it should be forwarded to the Council’s Planning and Roads section and to the Department of Education for consideration."
