MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 25, 2013

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee, welcome proposals to develop a the new Intreo service in Lucan, to include a greater focus on employment and activation, as opposed to provision solely of a social welfare office; but noting the slow response from the market to the call for possible premises for new Intreo facilities in the Lucan/Adamstown area; calls on the Manager to pro-actively support the search for appropriate premises, including an examination of how the Council could partner in delivery of this facility, by, for example, including e-working space/hot-desking to support local entrepreneurs, which would in turn compliment the greater employment focus of the Intreo service."                                                                                                                          

REPORT:

Further to a previous reply on this general area as set out in a reply to motion 25 of the April Lucan Area Committee meeting, the proposal to develop an Intreo service that has greater focus on employment activation measures is welcomed. With respect to supporting the development of appropriate premises the Manager is open to reviewing and considering proposals to facilitate such a service.
