HEADED ITEM NO. 18

 

PROPOSED REINSTATEMENT OF LIFFEY VALLEY MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LVMAC)

REPLY:

A meeting of interested stakeholders in the reinstatement of the LIFFEY VALLEY MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LVMAC) met informally recently.

Attendees included Elected Representatives from South Dublin County Council (Lucan Electoral Area) and Fingal County Council, and senior officials from both local authorities.

At the meeting the background to the Liffey Valley and the LVMAC was discussed, noting the original intention of the Committee was to secure the objectives of the SAAO.  However this has changed somewhat with the greater ambition set out in the OPW document – “Towards a Liffey Valley Park” involving Local Authorities along the entire length of the Liffey.

It was noted that the Committee has not been formally constituted for some time, and following discussion it was agreed to recommend to the respective Councils that the committee be reconstituted following the forthcoming Local Elections on the following basis :

  1. That the Committee will fulfil the original remit to consider and advise on implementation of best practice in the securing of the objectives of the SAAO.
  2. That the Committee will also consider and advise on proposals resulting from implementation of the objectives of the “Towards a Liffey Valley Park” report.
  3. The Committee will constitute 6 elected members. (3 from each Authority, from the adjoining electoral wards.)
  4. The PPN will be requested to nominate 2 , (1 from each LA area).
  5. Meeting place and Chair will rotate.
  6. Committee will meet at least quarterly.
  7. The Planning Depts of FCC and SDCC will provide executive input to the Committee.
