MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan, Councillor C. O'Connor , Councillor D. O'Donovan, Councillor E. O'Brien, Councillor E. Murphy, Councillor Yvonne Collins, Councillor T. Costello

H2 Objective 1: To add in at the end of this objective “and to promote and prioritise the return of voids to suitable housing stock”. 

REPORT:

The motion proposes to insert ‘and to promote and prioritise the return of voids to suitable housing stock’ at the end of H2 Objective 1 so that it reads:

To maximise the use of existing housing stock, facilitating and promoting upgrade/retrofit of existing stock reducing energy demand and addressing Climate Change and to promote and prioritise the return of voids to suitable housing stock.

This motion is acceptable however it is proposed to re-word the text proposed to insert ‘prioritising Council voids’ between ‘stock’ and ‘facilitating’. This allows for a more straight forward and clear objective and incorporates the intent of this motion.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the motion be adopted with amendments taking into consideration the content of this motion and motion ID 70854 such that H1 Objective 2 reads:

‘To maximise the use of existing housing stock, prioritising Council voids, facilitating and promoting upgrade/retrofit of existing stock reducing energy demand and addressing Climate Change in line with the Energy, Efficiency and Retrofitting Programme 2021-2030 (or any superseding document)’
