Confirmation & Re-affirmation of Minutes of Meeting held on 15th September, 2021.
That this Council writes to the Minister for Justice, the Minister for Children and the Law Society asking for a re-examination of the current restrictive in camera rule for family law cases as there is currently a lack of transparency in relation to how decisions are made and why, how time is allocated, what witnesses are called, how experts such as Section 47 assessors are appointed and how a lack of adequate support for those requiring legal aid can affect the outcome of a case - something especially concerning in relation to many genuine parental alienation claims that require detailed evidence to be provided and - equally importantly, those rarer situations where false parental alienation claims can also be made within the system, supported by recommendations from experts using Gardner's contested Parental Alienation Syndrome theory to "immerse" vulnerable children for weeks or months at a time with the party wrongly claiming alienation - and to look at other ways to achieve better transparency and scrutiny of the system while always protecting children's identities and respecting the independence of the courts.
To ask the Chief Executive to outline the procedure in existence in following up claims against motorists (insured and uninsured) where council properties, garden and estate boundary walls and street furniture are demolished as a result of road traffic incidents. And in pursuing such redress, can this council comment on how actively this is pursued with private insurers, the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland and the Gardai, providing any relevant statistics.
That this Area Committee write to Irish Water in respect of their lack of communication with Council operatives concerning water outages in Glenasmole, the most recent of which left a number of homes, including those of older people on the priority list, without water for close to 48 hours.
To ask the Chief Executive to ensure litter picking takes place in the green spaces of the junction between Wainsfort Drive and Wainsfort Road and if a statement could be made if the green areas are public realm under the ownership and management of South Dublin County Council.
To ask the Chief Executive to consider a pedestrian crossing between Fairways and Dodder View Road and provide a statement on this matter.
