CONFIRMATION AND RE-AFFIRMATION OF MINUTES
Minutes of Meeting 12th March 2018
"To ask the Chief Executive when the last time a traffic management plan was prepared for the Saggart Area and if there are plans to prepare one in the near future?"
"To ask the Chief Executive what the Council's plans are for the Mill chimney and rag store in Saggart, from a heritage perspective?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the pavilions that are planned for Tallaght in the Pavilions Programme, and also when the next pavilion programme is due to commence?"
"That this Area Committee seeks either a traffic calming ramp or roundabout to be installed on Sundale Avenue (near number 15) with a view to slowing down cars entering the road, as it has become very dangerous of late."
"That this Area Committee requests that measures are put in place to prevent cars from entering Glenshane Green in order to prevent ‘joyriding’ in the space, which has become completely intolerable and dangerous for residents in the surrounding area."
800,000 people in Ireland are living with neurological conditions such as migraine, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and rare and genetic conditions .This Council supports The Invest in Neurology campaign and writes to the Minister for Health in calling for a Government commitment for
• Immediate investment to address critical deficits in neurology staffing, including neurologists, specialist nurses and health and social care professionals to recommended levels.
• Targeted long term investment in neurology services to support implementation of the Neurology & Epilepsy Models of Care.
• Dedicated resources to support the development of clinical pathways for headache, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and rare and genetic neurological conditions
That this Council requests the Chief Executive to initiate a variation to the Development Plan to alter the zoning matrix for the RW (Retail Warehouse) zoning by making ‘Shop Neighbourhood’ open for consideration and by the insertion of ‘Specialist Forms of Retailing’ as open for consideration.
“ Management have reported in the “South Dublin County Council Rent Scheme 2018” report that , “ A €10 per household discount applies to dwellings where occupants are 65 years and above. The discount will no longer apply with effect from 31/12/18.”
This represents a retrograde step in the existing rent differential scheme. Members note that this has been taken by executive decision and call on Management to reverse their decision to end this provision.
Councillors will not note report and oppose any attempt to pursue arrears arising through non-payment or inability to pay this increase, or any attempts to subsequently diminish local authority services to tenants based on non- payment or inability to pay this increase.
Given alternative options open to South Dublin County Council to raise funds through rates and the necessity for substantial funding for Local Authority Housing, management should withdraw this decision."
That this Council recognises that homes to rent and to purchase are becoming increasingly unaffordable and calls on Government to; Immediately introduce ambitious affordable rental and purchase housing schemes led by Local Authorities, and where appropriate, Approved Housing Bodies and Housing Co-operatives with clear annual targets for all Local Authorities; and to
Design the Home Building Finance Ireland fund to prioritise loan finance to small and medium sized builders participating in Council led affordable housing schemes.
