Mayor's Business
That South Dublin County Council fully supports the Justice for Magdalenes campaign calling for an apology from the State and the religious orders who ran the Magadalene laundries, a lump sum compensation scheme for women survivors, a statutory pension reflecting their years of work in the laundry institutions, and complete access to their records. Furthermore, this council agrees that an extension of the current redress scheme would not be an appropriate approach as it would involve a stressful adversarial process incompatible with the age and vulnerable position in life of Magdalene survivors.
That the Manager report on services the Council will be providing to young people and children across South Dublin during the summer months.
That this Council calls upon the Manager to make a report, upon consultation with the Chief Fire Officer of Dublin Fire Brigade, to confirm if all school location and addresses within the County are identified on GPS and to also confirm that all such schools are properly signposted and clearly identified, in order that fire and ambulance services can locate them speedily in case of emergency.
That this Council supports the implementation of a National Household Bin Waiver System, along the lines of the waiver system implemented by SDCC in recent years, and requests the Manager to write to the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government, requesting the Government to put in place a National Household Waste Collection Waiver System, as provided for in the Programme for Government as soon as possible, and at the latest by 1st January 2012.
That the Manager report on antisocial behaviour in our parks and public spaces, the number of complaints received, fines issued and interactions with the Gardai arising from complaints.
That this council condemns any action taken from the review of wage settings including employment register orders, JLC,REA that will reduce the pay and conditions of low paid workers in Ireland.
That this Council will produce a booklet (email and hardcopy) for Residents Associations and Community Groups in order to guide them in getting established and while navigating Council services and funding.
That the Manager would submit a report on what is planned in order to celebrate the Centenary of Clondalkin Library.
That the Manager would submit a report on the care and maintenance of trees and plants in the Clondalkin Village area with particular reference to:-
1, The large wooden planters which are around the village and the Council offices. They are in a very bad state, with many of them falling apart. They have a very neglected appearance and don't appear to have been planted up at all.
2. The trees on the Orchard Road and Tower Road. These need to be tended to as shoots on the lower trunks are spoiling their appearance. Also the beds under the trees are in a bad state and overgrown with weeds. Will they be planted up with seasonal bedding? As it stands they are depressingly neglected.
I would hope that these issues might be attended to before the Clondalkin Village Festival. If that is the case this question will be redundant. If not it will be somewhat farcical for the Council to be launching a village festival when the planting for which the Council is responsible in the centre of our potentially beautiful village is in such a sad and sorry state.
To ask the Manager to produce a report on the consultation process relating to the draft litter plan and address the following questions
1. How well attended were the information sessions in the various supermarkets
2. How many submissions were received in relation to the plan
3. Does the Manager think that the consultation process as engaged in with regard to this plan was effective and that it engaged the public?
