MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 27

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That this Area Committee resolves to meet in various appropriate venues around the Lucan and Palmerstown-Fonthill electoral areas using the new capability enabled by remote technology, when COVID restrictions allow.

REPORT:

The location of meetings is governed by Standing Orders and as such is a matter for the full council to determine. The matter of resource implications in terms of the location of Council offices is primarily an efficiency and effectiveness issue, to allow administrative staff that primarily work in County Hall, Tallaght and Civic Buildings, Clondalkin to liaise with Councillors on the Area Committee.

The use of MS Teams for remote meetings allows meeting participants to join a meeting from a location of their choice, and has allowed Councillors to continue with all Council business during the pandemic restrictions.
