The motion below was passed at the September 2021 Tallaght Area Committee. Can the Council confirm that correspondence, on behalf of the elected Councillors for Tallaght, has been sent by SDCC to the relevant parties informing them of the motion and whether or not a response has been received in the 4 months since the motion was passed? Tallaght Councillors regard these as serious issues and reiterate the requests made in the motion for a "clear outline of what additional funding and personnel are to be provided to local drug service providers to deal with these issues and how that funding is to be allocated to front line service providers?" We request that, if necessary, SDCC restate this request by writing to the relevant parties. Many thanks Cllr Kieran Mahon. COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL South Dublin County Council Crest MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE Monday, September 27, 2021 MOTION NO. 2 MOTION: Councillor K. Mahon "Recent survey work has seen the issue of crack cocaine use in the Tallaght area publicised in national media. Despite the sensationalism by sections of national media and accepting the issue is in no way limited to Tallaght we regard this as a useful mapping exercise, a reflection of knowledge and experience of workers within our communities and an issue that cannot be allowed to spiral any further. This Area Committee will write to the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly, Minister of State for Drugs Policy Frank Feighan, and other relevant departments requesting a clear outline of what additional funding and personnel are to be provided to local drug service providers to deal with these issues and how that funding is to be allocated to front line service providers? If agreed a draft letter can be circulated among Councillors". REPORT:If the motion is agreed, a letter will be issued to the Ministers for their attention and when a reply is received, the Committee will be notified accordingly.

That this council agrees to write to the Relevant Minister and demands an immediate review of the mother and Baby Redress scheme given the outcome of a recent High Court case where the state has acknowledged the rights of mother and baby home survivors were breached when they were not given a draft of the final report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes prior to its publication in January. The State has admitted that the women are indeed identifiable in the final report and should have been given a right to reply to the sections relevant to them prior to the report's publication, In light of this, an honest and fully inclusive apology with redress for all is the only acceptable next stage.
