Mayor's Business
That this Council congratulates I Wish on its recent successful event in the RDS promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as education and career choices for girls (which the Mayor attended and spoke at); thanks the Chief Executive for supporting this worthwhile venture; reaffirms its commitment to promote STEM for girls through whatever means possible at Council level; and recommends that South Dublin County Council sponsors future initiatives by I Wish as a positive way to reduce the gender inequalities in these areas and maximise the potential of our society as a whole.
That this Council notes its concern with the recent report which showed South Dublin County Council paid out €22.1 million (net) in Housing Assistance Payments in 2017, more than any other local authority in the country. This Council notes that, even if there is no increase in the net HAP paid out over the next 5 years, the amount will be equivalent to the building of almost 600 Council homes.
This Council notes that while HAP is an important emergency intervention to keep people in homes, it is not a long-term solution to the housing crisis in this county, and amounts to the subsidisation of private landlords rather than the provision of social housing. This Council calls on the Chief Executive to liaise with Government to ensure a ramped-up building and purchase programme for social housing in this County and across Ireland.
That this Council calls on the Chief Executive to ensure that any future tender for the provision of Pound Services for horses in the County, includes as part of the Service Level Agreement, a provision that the operators will respond to a request from the Garda for Pound Services, within one hour of receiving the request and that the operator will have an obligation to inform each Garda Station in the County, of their contact details and out of hours contact numbers.
If this Motion is passed, please inform other Councils in the Dublin region.
That the Chief Executive presents a report to Members in relation to the possibility of working with Credit Unions to help solve the current housing crisis by accessing the nearly €13bn reserves they have on deposit.
That South Dublin County Council calls on the Chief Executive to detail plans for work on the 2018/2019 voting register; will he confirm if he has any plans to change the system which was used up to now, given reference in the recent Budget adopted by the Council to "the new voting registration system" and will he appreciate the importance of the register particularly in this coming year which will lead, at least, to the local and European elections in 2019.
