MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That further contact be made with Fingal County Council to set a firm date for the proposed meeting of the LVSAAO monitoring committee and that the Manager responsible circulate to the South Dublin County Council delegates an estimate of the costs of restoring the “Silver” Metal Bridge prior to this meeting (I understand that it is available in Fingal) and that its restoration be included as an Agenda item for the proposed meeting."

REPORT:

"Two meetings have taken place between officials of Fingal and South Dublin County Councils Econcomic Development and Planning functions in May 2016 with a view to the renewal of the Liffey Valley Monitoring and Advisory Committee. All of the relevant officials are new to their respective functions regarding the Liffey Valley and these briefings have been aimed at effective preparation for the renewal of the Committee, given the time lapse since previous meetings.

Given the timeline since the last Committee meetings it is proposed that a workshop between officials and elected members would be a suitable approach to clarify roles, activities and agree a practical agenda, before formal renewal of the Committee.  Suitable dates to ensure maximum attendance are being scoped and options will soon be communicated to elected members.

Cost estimates regarding the "Sliver" bridge restoration have been sought from Fingal at our recent meeting and will be shared at the proposed workshop."
