"That the Chief Executive outlines the future vision for Glendoher Park.  There is a concern from local residents that if a Play Area and Adult Gym facility are added to Glendoher Field - which is 2.75 acres - this will limit the flat playing area for casual games of football, rounders, and so forth. Add to that the quite recent creation of a large mound on one half of the field means that the amount of flat playing space is now quite limited - enough for just one reasonable game of children’s football."

In light of the postponement of Ibrahim Halawa’s trial in Egypt for the fourteenth time, this Council asks the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan, to immediately apply for the Presidential Decree on Ibrahim’s behalf.

The Presidential Decree would allow Ibrahim to return to Ireland before a final ruling has been made in his case, and it is used in cases where a deportation or extradition would serve the ‘higher interest’ of the Egyptian state.

The Australian Government applied for the Decree pre-sentencing and Australian journalist Peter Greste, a former cell mate of Ibrahim’s, was released and back home with his family before his trial concluded.
