This Council calls on the Chief Executive to review and change the Councils current Housing Policy which only allows Social housing/HAP applicants to access the higher homeless rate of HAP 6 weeks before the applicant's Notice to Quit is enacted. Taking into account the length of time it is taking for families/couples/individual's to find private accommodation, this change will allow for the applicants to access the higher homeless rate of HAP from the date of issue of the NTQ to the Council.
That this Council calls on the Chief Executive to ensure that any family that are referred /given temporary or emergency accommodation, through the SDCC Homeless Section, either in the County or the City, are placed in accommodation that is suitable to the needs of that family, that they have access to kitchen facilities, have access to bathrooms, have the basic access to the Internet to facilitate students in that family who are studying for their Junior or Leaving Cert or are attending 3rd level College and that the family are not required to leave the accommodation every day at 0.8am and "allowed" to return at 1700 hours and that he address this issue with the necessary authorities or agencies.
To call on the Chief Executive of the Council to help address fuel poverty within our local authority homes by partnering with EnergyCloud, a not-for profit organisation. EnergyCloud was established to use some of the surplus renewable energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to help tackle fuel poverty, which impacts thousands of Irish families every day and is also in line with the Government's Climate Action Plan.
That this council prohibits advertising from Gambling companies on and in all buildings owned by the local authority.
That this Council agrees to make it a priority to fix heating systems when they break down in Council owned housing.
That this Council agrees to write to An Bord Pléanala, to the Minister of Housing Darragh O'Brien Minister of State Peter Burke with special responsibility for Planning, Local Government and Heritage to request a change in legislation to allow for pause on planning application decisions related to ongoing and future private large development within the proposed City Edge Redevelopment areas. A recent report provided to members in relation to this project, the largest new town in the whole of Europe referenced the challenges being presented to project development during this incredibly period of time. The question must be asked whether the state and local government are responsible for planning of new sustainable communities or whether we will continue to outsource this to private developers, whose only interest is in relation to their own site and their bottom line.
That this Council calls on the Minister for Transport to expedite the process to ensure that Legislation is passed to deal with the control of Scramblers and expresses concern at the delay in dealing with the issue which is of great concern to many.

Minutes of the meeting held on 6 April 2022
"The Dodder Greenway is looking great and people are enjoying it, I would like to request that the features of the Dodder greenway bridges, greenway boundary features e.g, stone walls, red iron entrance markers and red iron bridge fencing used to identify the greenway and entrance / exit points to it are to be of a similar design and quality in the Tallaght Part as what is in Cherryfield, Kilvere Rd and Firhouse road - which all look amazing. The big difference in design and quality is obvious between those and the Avonmore entrance to the greenway?"
"Could the Arts Officer indicate to this Area Committee a timeframe for the installation of the chosen commissioned sculpture for the N81 Glenview Roundabout?"
Could the Manager publish a timetable for grass cutting in the Kilnamanagh area, to assist the excellent local Tidy District volunteers to plan for edging, weed clearance and general maintenance work that they carry out daily in the area.
"Could the Manager inform this Area Committee if there are plans to prune/cutback trees on the main road through Brookmount Estate, as residents are complaining that there are low branches causing problems for cyclists using the cycle lane and other branches are overhanging driveways of local houses?"
"That this Area Committee calls on the Manager to bring any S254 Licence renewal applications for Telecommunication Masts, located within the Tallaght area, before this Committee for discussion and consultation, in an effort to get proper feedback from the Communities who are impacted by these Masts, within their housing estates. Where possible, a representative of the applicants should also be invited to attend to facilitate direct questions from the Area Committee members?"
That this area committee agrees that the council erect a sign with a brief history on Irishtown Castle that is situated in the grounds of Old Tower in Quarryvale. This modest castle was constructed in 1601 by Alderman Patrick Browne. During the rebellion in 1642 the castle then defended by a garrison of 10 men found themselves conscripted into the confederate army and was lay siege to by English forces.
