"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the Walkinstown roundabout. The issue was passed to Dublin Bus for their consideration. Can an update be provided."

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Foley
Responsibility:
A//Director of Housing, Social & Community Development

Can the rules that govern the “Housing Aid for Older People Scheme” be reviewed? The current rule states that works must not commence on a property prior to submission of an application form and written approval by the Council.

In cases where applicants have no choice but to carry out emergency works, to make their homes safe and habitable, the policy needs to be reviewed so that grants for essential works, such as those required for leaks or flooding, can be applied for retrospectively.

If this rule is governed by the Department and not the local authority, I would request that this council seeks this review at departmental level instead.

Director of Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development

That this Council calls on the Chief Executive to explore the positives in selling the site known locally as "Maelruain's Field" which sits adjacent to County Hall and which is one of the most valuable sites in South Dublin County Council. The proceeds of the sale would be earmarked for the building of social housing on other sites where I believe we as a Council could achieve a much better yield of housing for those on our Housing and Homeless lists.
