That this Council requests the Manager to present a report, for discussion, on the measures being taken to address the serious problem of 'We buy cars for cash' signs and stickers on road signs throughout our County, and to include in this report an update on: - details of engagement with an Gardaí Siochana on this matter; - the number of signs/stickers removed by the Council; - the number of litter fines issues by this Council; - the number of any other prosecution taken; and - what action the Council can or may take where tenants of this Council are found to responsible for erecting these signs and stickers.
That this Council will not make use of the Gateway scheme. Gateway is a work-for-benefits scheme also known as Workfare. Participation on Gateway is not voluntary; it entails 22 months of hard labour for a very small social welfare top-up of €20 that can be all but eroded by tax. It will not enhance the employability of participants as there is no quality training involved and there is a recruitment embargo in place on local authorities. Gateway punishes the unemployed for being unemployed and copper fastens the under-staffing of essential local services

That this Council calls on the Minister to introduce as a matter of priority Mandatory Oxygen Saturation screening with the use of Pulse Oximeters in every Maternity Hospital in the State as part of the general postnatal assessment of babies. These Pulse Oximeters already exist in all Maternity Hospitals for use in difficult Births. Only seven of the twenty Maternity Hospitals in this State use this system, consequently over half of babies born with a heart defect are discharged without a diagnosis and relevant care. This has resulted in death and lifelong health problems which could have been improved with early diagnosis with the use of this simple and quick test.

This Council calls for the drafting of a formal policy to deal with the remedying of fire safety issues in instances where properties that were built and/or sold by the Council have been found not to be in compliance with fire safety regulation. This policy should put the safety of residents first and aim to have as its core objective the speedy remedy of the fire safety issues concerned. The policy should also ensure that where non compliance with fire safety regulations was not the fault of the owners of the property they should not incur any costs for carrying out the remedial works. The policy should also ensure that where such problems are identified the Council seeks to work quickly and proactively with developers and management companies and agents to resolve the problems and that residents are kept fully informed. The Manager shall also table a report at the Council meeting on those areas where such fire safety issues have emerged detailing when the problems emerged, how the Council responded, and what arrangements are currently in place to resolve these issues.
