That this Area Committee recommends that South Dublin County Council initiate the statutory processes required to exercise its powers under Sections 202 and 203 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to extend the area subject to the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area Order to include all lands zoned ‘I’ in the new Draft South Dublin County Development Plan.
That this Area Committee recommends that South Dublin County Council initiate the statutory processes required to exercise its powers under Sections 202 and 203 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to extend the area subject to the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area Order to include all lands zoned ‘I’ in the new Draft South Dublin County Development Plan.
That this Council would agree, given the commitment made by South Dublin County Council to have the Liffey Valley lands, including at St. Edmundsbury, Woodville and Fonthill, preserved against housing development following the passing of my Motions, including at the June 2008 Planning Department Meeting: "That this Committee requests the Manager to write to the Minister for the Environment and Local Government requesting the Minister to make a Ministerial Order, under Section 202 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, to make further Special Amenity Area Order(s) to preserve the Liffey Valley Lands in South Dublin, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville. Particularly in view of the unanimous decision of South Dublin County Council expressed in my Motion passed in South Dublin County Council on 10th March 2008, including “it is wholly undesirable that any future housing developments take place in the Liffey Valley, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville, that would undoubtedly further damage the Liffey Valley Park as did, for example, the earlier housing developments at Laraghcon”, in the interest of the preservation of these lands, and given subsequent Motions passed that prompted further correspondence between the Council and the Minister for the Environment and Local Government, to initiate the process of extending the Special Amenity Area Order given the obvious reluctance by the Minister to exercise his powers in extending the Special Amenity Area Order(s), especially given the pre-general election promise by the Green Party in 2007 to extend the SAAO to these lands, and particularly given the Minister's silence on this matter in advance of the review of the County Development Plan - the time-scale that I had identified in my Motion to this Council on 9th June 2008.

Correspondence from Office of the Minister for Housing and Local Services regarding (Item ID 22176) Motion 26 23rd February, 2010:-
"That this Committee condemns the actions of this Government that resulted in over-inflated house prices and following the downturn created a situation whereby countless residents are facing the trap of negative equity. Further, that this committee calls for special consideration from this Council to the residents of Adamstown and similar areas by outlining the options for those who find themselves unable to meet mortgage payments or due to negative equity are trapped in housing that does not meet their needs."
