The Central Area Committee furthermore ask management to look for a list of “rogue crisis pregnancy agencies” operating in the Central Area from the Health Service Executive and consider what steps can be taken by Dublin City Council to regulate such agencies, as per HSE guidelines regarding “Disingenuous Counselling Services” – http://www.crisispregnancy.ie/crisis-pregnancy-help/disingenuous-counseling-services/

http://www.crisispregnancy.ie/crisis-pregnancy-help/disingenuous-counseling-services/

http://www.crisispregnancy.ie/crisis-pregnancy-help/disingenuous-counseling-services/


That this Committee, in light of the high demand for non-denominational education schools in the Dublin 7 (Stoneybatter, Grangegorman) area, request from the Department of Education a report on attendance and waiting list figures in schools in the area, and what efforts have been undertaken to consider transfer of patronage from Catholic primary schools in the area to non-denominational patrons.


That this Committee requests that Dublin City Council issue a press release clarifying media reporting that it is expected O’Devaney Gardens will be demolished “within the next 12 months” to alleviate residents worries and in light of commitments that no forced evictions of remaining tenants will take place. The press release should indicate that there are remaining tenants and that Dublin City Council will not be obliging them to leave.


That this Committee supports the principle of ‘participatory budgeting’ as a way of increasing community ownership of local government. In particular, the Committee notes the success which increased community engagement in budgeting has had on reducing crime in wards where it is used in Chicago. The Central Area Committee asks management to establish a sub-committee of officials and councillors, to produce a short ’feasibility report’ regarding how participatory budgeting might be used to distribute the 2017 Central Area Discretionary Fund, to be presented to the Central Area Committee no later than December 2016.

That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to make sure children who live in our flat complexes or housing estates have their own playground facility. This is a basic human right and children deserve to have designated play in the areas that they live. It is not acceptable in this day and age that children have no play areas and are constantly getting into trouble for playing in areas they shouldn’t be playing. It is the right of our children to be able to be children and play in a safe, secure and clean play space.


6290 Motion in the name of Councillor Janice Boylan

That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to re-open the Multi Use Games Area in Drumalee Estate as a matter of urgency.

That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to initiate a pilot “summer opening” scheme for small parks in the Central Area, in which parks at Thor Place, Halliday Square be opened from 12 – 4pm each Saturday and Sunday from June – August and in addition, that notification regarding key access be erected at each park.



In light of the particular importance of “bag collections” in the North Inner City and current moves towards wheelie bins, the Central Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to put in place a contingency plan within the next six months setting out what steps the Council will take should no private operator be willing to collect bags into the future.

10 th May, 2016

Item 6281

Motion in the name of Councillor Christy Burke

That this Committee agrees to call on senior Garda management to address the anti-social behaviour at Dominic Street and Parnell Street.

Report

Senior Garda management will be contacted in relation to this matter if the members agree the terms of the motion.

Item 6282

Motion in the name of Councillor Ciaran Cuffe

That this Committee agrees to install cycle parking on the pedestrian plaza to the front of Store Street Garda Station.

Report

The area in question could be considered a transport hub, as buses, trams and trains are all nearby. The inclusion of cycle stands in this area would be consistent with the “Greater Dublin Area Draft Transport Strategy”. The ideal location for the cycle stand would be on the open plaza in front of the Beresford Hotel rather than in front of the Garda Station.

Accordingly, consideration will be given to the provision of cycle parking facilities at this location.

Item 6283

Motion in the name of Councillor Ciaran Cuffe

That this Committee agrees to organise a formal re-opening of the Croppie’s Acre Park.

Report

The upgrading works at the Croppie Acre are nearing completion and a formal opening date will be released shortly.

Report

Staff in area offices operate in teams and should a member of staff in an area office be unable to deal with a query, housing or otherwise, they will be referred to staff with the required experience in the Civic offices. Housing staff skills and numbers are kept under

Item 6285


That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to confirm the timeframe on the refurbishment of voids.

Report

Item 6286


That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to comment on the current length of time it takes regarding the allocation of units and that the process needs to be speeded up.

Report:

When a property is in the process of refurbishment, Housing Allocations and Area Offices are made aware so as to have prospective tenants lined up for viewing when works are completed. When a prospective tenant views a property, they aregenerally allowed a decision time of three days. If the offer is accepted, signings areorganised in Housing Allocations as soon as the keys are returned for letting.

Motion in the name of Councillor Nial Ring

Item 6288

Motion in the name of Councillor Nial RingThat this Committee congratulates the communities in the Central Area for organising so many events to celebrate the centenary of the 1916 Rising and to also thank the Area Office for the support and assistance provided.

Report

This is a matter for the members to agree or otherwise.

Item 6289

Motion in the name of Councillor Janice Boylan

That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to make sure children who live in our flat complexes or housing estates have their own playground facility. This is a basic human right and children deserve to have designated play in the areas that they live. It is not acceptable in this day and age that children have no play areas and are constantly getting into trouble for playing in areas they shouldn’t be playing. It is the right of our children to be able to be children and play in a safe, secure and clean play space.

Report

The Dublin City Play Plan is underpinned by Article 3; the child’s right to play. Dublin City Council is committed to realising the vision of the play plan with particular relevance in this issue to theme 3 of the play; create an effective city play infrastructure and improve the design of our play spaces. This means that in providing outdoor play opportunities, Dublin City Council need to be mindful of the barriers involved in installing a conventional playground as the only solution to addressing this issue. Alternative and more innovative solutions are required to facilitate, support and develop children’s everyday play. This type of play usually takes place in close proximity to where they live as they are:

- Along the main thoroughfare- Provide easy access to friends- Provide easy access to resources for play i.e. loose materials, toys, bikes, skates

etc. - Are near home in terms of informal supervision, safety, ranging etc

Therefore, well thought out street design and layout is also an innovative way of meeting the needs of children that will provide a rich environment that encourages self directed and creative ‘free play’ activities. This would be a more effective use of main streets, house frontages, open space and green space in addition to accessible neighbourhood parks and playgrounds that can provide communal spaces and meeting points for the wider community. In terms of access and children’s play patterns in relation to ranging; it is acceptable for children up to the age of 8 yrs and accompanied by an adult to travel between 100 metres/ 1 minute and five minutes /400 metres to a local standard playground. Therefore Dublin City Council will continue to work towards the development of playable outdoor space close to home that supports unstructured free play and street play activities in gardens or open space on streets and precincts within flat complexes in order to provide creative play spaces that can be shared by all residents.

Item 6290

Motion in the name of Councillor Janice Boylan

11 | P a g e



That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to re-open the Multi Use Games Area in Drumalee Estate as a matter of urgency. It is not acceptable that this much needed facility is lying unused and that the youths in the area have nothing to do, therefore adding to the antisocial activity levels increasing in the area.

Report

It is intended to reopen this facility as soon as is practically possible, however, it should be noted that prior to closure, the MUGA had suffered serious and ongoing vandalism rendering it unsafe for use. Since closure efforts have been made to explore options which would assist in maximising the use of the facility, thereby increasing its relevance to local youth which, in turn, should reduce the potential for vandalism/anti-social behaviour in the immediate vicinity. These efforts will continue and any assistance Public Reps can give in engaging local community to form a Sports / MUGA Committee would be welcome.

Item 6291

Motion in the name of Councillor Eilis Ryan

That this Committee calls on Dublin City Council to initiate a pilot “summer opening” scheme for small parks in the Central Area, in which parks at Thor Place, Halliday Square be opened from 12 – 4pm each Saturday and Sunday from June – August and in addition, that notification regarding key access be erected at each park.

Report

Dublin City Council Parks and Landscape Services Division are responsible for the locking and opening arrangement of Parks in the area. The two pocket Parks in the Stoneybatter area are kept locked (past request from local residents), however access is available to any who may wish to use the park by obtaining a key. Keys are obtainable by contacting Mountjoy Square Park on 8554030. This arrangement has been in place for many years and to date has worked well however if the residents require that the Parks be left open during the day then a procedure will be put in place to ensure regular opening.

Item 6292

Motion in the name of Councillor Eilis Ryan

In light of the particular importance of “bag collections” in the North Inner City and current moves towards wheelie bins, the Central Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to put in place a contingency plan within the next six months setting out what steps the Council will take should no private operator be willing to collect bags into the future.

Report

There is a special Committee established by the City Council in relation to the implementation of the Regulations and this issue will be reviewed and monitored through that Committee.

Report to the Chairperson and Members of the Central Area Committee

Pedestrian Crossing

Report on the proposed construction of two pedestrian crossings at Ormond Quay.

Mary HusseyEnvironment and Transportation.

June 2016

20 | P a g e

CONSTRUCTION OF 2 NO. PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AT ORMOND QUAY.

Introduction:

Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority published the Dublin

City Centre Transport Study on the 10th of June 2015. A period of non

statutory public consultation ran from the 11th of June until the 7th of August

2015. There was a large amount of interest in the Study generated amongst

the public and interested parties, and almost 8000 submissions were

received. As a result of the submissions some amendments were made to the

original proposals and the final report was noted by the SPC at its meeting of

the 25th May 2016.

Chapter 9 of the City Centre Transport Study states ‘The pedestrian

environment serves all users, including residents, commuters, tourists and

shoppers. It must also serve a range of needs, from legibility and design for

those with mobility and visual impairments, to serving visitors and residents

who require space to enjoy the sights and sounds of the City Centre. The

pedestrian environment also caters for the heavy flows of commuters moving

to and from work every day’.

21 | P a g e

Pedestrian Routes:

Proposed Pedestrian Routes – From DCC’s Development Plan.

Development of strategic pedestrian routes The core pedestrian network has been outlined in the Dublin City Development Plan (above), and the implementation and development of these routes will allow for an improved pedestrian environment which can function as part of an integrated transport network. The identified routes will provide a high quality of pedestrian facilities, complemented by a corresponding level of priority given to pedestrian movements at junctions.

The proposed pedestrian crossing is along these major strategic pedestrian routes:

1. Ormond Quay.

22 | P a g e

Next steps:

The NTA has allocated funding towards the construction of this pedestrian crossings. It is anticipated that the tender process will begin by the end of June, with a contractor appointed mid July and construction beginning at the start of August.

It is hoped the crossing is operational by the middle of September 2016.

National Cultural Institutions and Neighbourhoods

Dublin City Council became a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2020 designation in late 2014. A far reaching public consultation and a promotion of Dublin’s cultural strengths and ambition characterised the bid process and the civic energy generated as well as the innovative programme outlined in the Bid Book have left a legacy of skills and new thinking.

Although not shortlisted, Dublin City Council had already set aside €1M to support the second round of the Bid in the Council annual budget 2016 and discussions of retaining this budget and reinvesting it strategically in Culture ensued.

The City Arts Officer proposed to the Assistant Chief Executive and the CEO that the fund should be set to long term strategic goals i.e.

(a) That any project or idea supported should be of such a quality and interest to the Members of Dublin City Council as to cause a desire to retain this budget for Culture in future years.

(b) That the wide ranging consultations with citizens should continue.(c) That further investment in Culture should be leveraged because of this

investment nationally and in Europe.(d) That Community organisations, businesses and cultural institutions could

work together.(e) That the Projects should be of sufficient scale to leave a legacy of working

closely with the National Cultural Institutions.

Through further discussion and consultation with the Area Managers of Dublin City Council and subsequent meetings with Area Community Development Teams, City Council Libraries and the Arts Office, one of the large scale projects from Dublin’s Bid Book was selected for feasibility study. The project proposed is that National Cultural Institutions (NCI’s) including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Abbey Theatre, The National Museum, The Chester Beatty Library, The National Concert Hall, The National Gallery, The National Library, all of whom are located in Dublin, would form partnerships with local neighbourhoods in such a way that a high quality cultural initiative connecting the NCI and the Neighbourhood would result.

44 | P a g e

This programme or initiative would seek to connect the local, national and international cultural ambition of Dublin as a Capital City while ensuring the development of local cultural capacity.

The Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht (DAHG) convened the NCI’s to discuss the project and the approach was wholly endorsed by all involved. DAHG are considering how best to support the project and may do so through financial assistance either Capital or Current Revenue.

It is proposed that each project is large scale and that programmes e.g. in schools or broader cultural initiatives e.g. in intercultural integration can be considered. In the first instance, 600K will be available for projects across the five areas and a Project Manager for each Area will be appointed by Tender.

An overall coordinator Iseult Byrne has been appointed and local consultations in each Area have begun.An Advisory Group has now been formed in each City Area and National Cultural Institutions have assigned themselves singly or in pairs as follows

The 5 National Cultural Neighbourhood Project groupings are:Central Area is collaborating with the National Library of IrelandSouth Central is collaborating with The Chester Beatty Library & the National Concert HallSouth East is collaborating with The National Gallery of IrelandNorth West is collaborating with The National Museum of Ireland and The Abbey TheatreNorth Central is collaborating with The Irish Museum of Modern Art.Each Advisory Group consists as indicated above of The Area Community Development Team, The Arts Office, City Libraries, and a National Cultural Institution(s). Local consultations such as those undertaken in the Bid process have begun in each City Area to aid project development and Neighbourhood theme selection.

Each Advisory Group has met in facilitated session to agree their working purpose and to set out criteria for project selection.

The criteria agreed for selection of projects vary slightly in each of the Areas, but in all cases they require that the project:

Contains Meaningful Participation and active engagement by residents of the Area

Is Impactful – Personally, Locally, Nationally and Internationally

Is Inclusive & Accessible (intellectually, physically & virtually)

Is Ambitious & Challenging, Innovative & of high quality

Is relevant (to the community, the area, the institution and to DCC)

45 | P a g e

Is Feasible and Realistic

It is proposed that projects will be developed through a process of consultation and collaboration and also that significant progress in implementation occurs during 2016.

Through a consultation process involving community meetings and facilitated sessions supported by the Community Development Team, A community organisation (s) will be identified as partner in the project or programme proposed.Once the idea, community partner and implementation time line is set, regular updates will be provided to the Area Committee

Update Report – Moore Street Market and Retail Outlets Strategic Report

Background:An implementation group was established with a view to prioritising and implementing recommendations set out in the Moore Street Markets and Retail Outlets Strategic Report. The team is led by Eileen Gleeson, Assistant Area Manager, Central Area.

The group initially agreed a number of improvements which are achievable in the short to medium term, under the following headings:

Issue ActionTraffic Parking / Vehicular AccessNoted that although there is no drive through after 11am, it is clearly evident that this is not adhered to. There are 2 “no entry after 11am” signs on Moore Street at the O’Rahilly Parade junction.

Removable bollards have been installed on Moore Street at the O’Rahilly Parade junction and also the Henry Lane junction.

Notification / signage regarding the installation of the bollards are in situ.

The Traffic Division’s proposal to make Moore Street one way southbound has been objected to, as has their proposal for the provision of cycle parking on the street given the existing planning permission on the adjacent site.

2 torpedo bollards are to be installed on pathway at Sampsons Lane; this is to prevent vehicles driving on the footpath to exit the street.

LightingStreet lighting is currently provided by flood lighting on the buildings on the north side of the street.

To improve the lighting on the street the current system will be replaced with LED catenary lanterns mounted down the centre of the street on catenary cables suspended between the buildings.

The new system is due to be installed in the coming weeks.

CleansingThe street is cleaned continually during the day and the truck empties the euro bins at around 2.30pm. Cleansing staff are unable to maneuver cleansing equipment around the stalls.

We are in discussions with Waste Management with a view to introducing a recycling waste management system for the street.

Power washing is being carried out on the street twice weekly.

Co-operation is forthcoming from the Traders in relation to the management of the pallets produce is delivered on.

We are considering options for the implementation of a recycling scheme for the street. A Pilot will be introduced in the coming weeks to gauge the volume of recyclable materials for disposal.

Physical Design of the Street / Engagement with TradersThere are currently 23 stalls in situ. There is no cohesion or uniformity to the location of the stalls.

Pitch markings were upgraded in December 2015; the new markings designate an extended area of 12 feet for each stall.

Stalls The majority of traders are not using their stalls; produce is stacked on the public footpath. The current stalls are not user friendly and inhibit trading.

The storage of stalls is a major issue. At present the stalls remain in situ at all times, including unused stalls. It is agreed that even if we had a dedicated space to

Works to upgrade the existing stalls is now complete. This work included the provision of additional lockable storage within each stall and new castors. A thorough cleaning of each stall has also been completed. Positive feedback has been received from Traders.

New uniform canopies have been installed on all stalls.

49 | P a g e

store the stalls, the current stalls are heavy and most of the current traders would not be able to move them.

A number of disused stalls have been removed from the street, and placed in storage, following correspondence with the relevant Traders.

Market Patrol Two Assistant Markets Inspectors have been appointed and continue to patrol and monitor the market.

Anti-Social Behaviour There is a major issue with anti-social behaviour in particular the sale of contraband on the street.

While this matter is outside our control, there is ongoing co-operation between the Gardaí and our Assistant Market Inspectors. We are continuing to liaise with the Gardaí on this matter.

There are issues with the over-hang area at the Ilac Centre. Planning permission was granted for redevelopment of this area which includes removal of the walkway to bring the façade in line with the existing building. An appeal was lodged to An Bord Pleanála and a decision to grant the permission with conditions was made on 12th May 2016, permitting the removal of the over-hang area.

This Report is submitted for noting. Further updates will be issued in due course.

Chris Butler – Area Housing Manager

Vacant site, Railway Street Dublin City Council met with Circle Housing and its architects on the 31st May. Discussions on optimising the site to its full potential and to facilitate the building of the most economically viable numbers of units took place. Clarity is required in relation to the footprint of the site and further investigations will have to be taken in relation to registration and ownership of parts of the site. Further meetings will be held shortly.

St. Mary’s Mansions

Following a presentation to the residents and the Area Councillors which recived a very positive response, a planning application was lodged on the 6th May 2016 for redevelopment of the complex. A decision is due to be in June and no objections have been submitted so far. Should planning permission be granted without undue delay Cluid expect work to commence on site in April 2017. The redevelopment is due to be completed in December 2018.

Currently 29 tenants and their families remain living in the complex. 2 of these families have accepted temporary offers of accommodation from DCC and will be moving shortly. A further 2 tenants have accepted offers of accommodation from Cluid and should move in the 2nd week of June. With these offers there will be 25 families and while it may prove difficult to move tenants out quickly Cluid are confident they are in a position to secure accommodation for the remaining residents. Cluid and DCC continue to work closely together on this matter with the aim of having the complex detenanted by the end of the year.

Gloucester Place/Former IDA site

Construction work commenced in late February following some delays with the issuing of fire certs. As part of the initial works the site has been hoarded off along with the adjacent smaller site which the same developer has agreed to purchase. Plans for the adjacent site will be submitted shortly. Site clearance works are also underway and the project is progressing well.

Prior to commencement of works a meeting was held on the 26th January between local Housing staff, residents reps, school reps and Bennetts Construction to outline the project and discuss issues such as traffic and noise management. A further meeting has since taken place and issues around traffic management and window cleaning were raised. Residents in Gloucester Place also staged a protest, blocking the road, but following a meeting between the builder and these residents no further protests have taken place.

Castelforbes

The 21 units at Castleforbes (Northbank), that DCC are acquiring, are not completed and are now in the hands of the receiver. Dublin City Council is currently engaging with the receiver regarding the acquisition of the Part V units in the development. Due to the nature of the works to be undertaken it now extremely unlikely that these units will be acquired before the beginning of 2017.

54 | P a g e

Tuath Housing is negotiating separately with the purchasers of the Danninger loans for 21 units in Castleforbes Square. The original asking price has been revised by the new owners. Tuath is still in negotiation for the acquisition of these units

Mountainview Court/Summerhill Site.

As you are aware this site was purchased by the HSE for the purpose of building a much needed, Primary Care centre. A meeting was held with the building contractors, Balfour Beatty on 25 th February. They advised that it is expected construction works will commence on site in mid March. Some delays have now been encountered and as of yet no definite commencement date has been confirmed but indications are that work will commence in the coming weeks.

Matt Talbot Court

Following ongoing complaints repairs were carried out recently on one of the roofs in Matt Talbot Court. These repairs were carried in September 2015 and initially appeared to be successful. However, following the heavy rainfall early in the year, some leaks reoccurred. This roof has now been re-examined by Housing Maintenance and the areas where leaks are occurring have been identified. The contractor will commenced repairs on this roof the week beginning the 4th of April. He will also carry out repair works to the roofs on the other 2 blocks.

A new CCTV system has now been installed in the complex and should help address the issue of anti-social behaviour.

The proposal put forward is to convert 16 units into 8 larger units and construct 4 additional units giving a total of 11 units. The units have been vacant for some time so it would bring

56 | P a g e

them back into use. The Department of Environment Community and Local Government in May granted approval in principle to the construction of the 11 units at a cost of €1,170,000 with a view to starting on site in 2015. Planning permission has been granted for this development. Site investigations have been carried out on this site by consulting engineers and the Peter McVerry Trust retendered following the Public Procurement Process for a contractor to carry out the works. A contractor has commenced works on this site since the last week of April 2016.

Dominick Street Lower

57 | P a g e

The Council has planning permission from An Bord Pleanala for 58 housing units, a community facility and shops on the eastern side of Dominick Street. The accompanying Masterplan provided for a new road and the closure of the existing roadway at Dominick Place and the provision of a site for a Gael Scoil.

In order to make the project economically viable and procure funding it has been necessary to re-design the project to provide for additional housing. The number of units has increased to 73, with a reduction in the number of commercial units and alterations to the community facilities. Provided funding from the DOECLG for the housing is forthcoming, the Council (Planning and Development Department) has agreed to use alternative funding for the commercial and community facilities element of the project.

The Department of the Environment, Community & Local Government has requested that a cost benefit analysis be carried out on this project as it exceeds €20m. Meetings are ongoing between Department of the Environment, Community & Local Government with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and Dublin City Council.

GGDA Update for June meeting of Central Area Committee

Artists and young people come together to develop new Grangegorman Art Project

A community art project is about to get underway in Grangegorman. The Masterplan has been commissioned under Pathway 2 of the ‘the lives we live’, the Grangegorman Public Art Project. This pathway centres on community based projects and events and aims to increase local participation and engagement with life through the arts.

The project is a collaboration between a group of artists and young people from Dublin 7 Educate Together, who are coming together to explore the changing education environment in the 21st Century.

This project aims to facilitate a creative conversation amongst students about the arc of their transition from an older environment to a newly built one. The artists will work with the students through a process of artist residencies, workshops, performance, events and collaborative explorations.

Dublin 7 Educate Together is scheduled to re-locate from its current temporary accommodation into a brand new home on the Grangegorman site.

An underlying premise of this work is the belief that if you place an artist as an active researcher in a learning environment that the students quickly become inventive and creative learners. The process will be documented and shared with a wider audience later this year.

Projects are chosen through an open call and by an independent panel of experts. The next closing date for submissions under Pathway 2 is Friday 24th June, 2016.
