MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff, Councillor P. Kearns, Councillor Alan Edge

H3 Add Objective: 'To examine within the context of Housing policy 3  the future accommodation needs of older members of the LGBT+ community.'

REPORT:

This motion seeks to include a new objective under Housing Policy 3 which states: ‘To examine the future accommodation needs of older members of the LGBT+ community’.

The intent of the motion is noted. It is considered that the need to examine the future accommodation needs of older members of the LGBT+ community would be more appropriate under the National Age Friendly Programme or any superseding documents. It is therefore considered that the contents of the motion reflect the contents of H3 Objective 8 which states:

‘To support and facilitate the implementation of the South Dublin Age Friendly Strategy 2020 – 2024, the National Age Friendly Programme, and Housing Options for Our Ageing Population 2019 and having regard to Age Friendly Ireland’s guidelines for planning authorities (2021).’

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to reflect that the existing objective H3 Objective 8 as currently set out in the CE Draft Plan is sufficient to provide for the intent of the motion:

H3 Objective 8 seeks ‘To support and facilitate the implementation of the South Dublin Age Friendly Strategy 2020 – 2024, the National Age Friendly Programme, and Housing Options for Our Ageing Population 2019 and having regard to Age Friendly Ireland’s guidelines for planning authorities (2021).’
