Page 69 The Assistant Chief Executive, Brendan Kenny circulated a further report on the redevelopment of lands at O’Devaney Gardens, Dublin 7 (attached as Appendix A). A discussion on O’Devaney Gardens followed with Councillors from all parties contributing. It was noted that a motion to rescind Report No. 332/2019 will be on the December agenda for discussion and decision. The meeting concluded at 9.30 p.m. _____________________ LORD MAYOR __________________________ MEETINGS ADMINISTRATOR Page 70 To the Lord Mayor and Report of Deputy Chief Executive Members of Dublin City Council 25th November 2019 Further Report on the Re-development of lands at O’ Devaney Gardens, Dublin 7. A proposal to dispose of Title to Land which was formerly the site of the O’Devaney Gardens apartment complex was approved by City Councillors at the November Council Meeting. This disposal as outlined in report No. 332/2019 was consistent with the overall approval for the redevelopment given by City Councillors in January 2017. It was also consistent with the extensive public procurement process that was undertaken by management over a two and half year period (see also report no. 332/2019). The approved disposal was based on a housing tenure mix of 50% private, 30% social, 20% affordable Purchase and this approval will follow through onto the Development Agreement to be signed by Dublin City Council and the Developer. The 50% private units will be owned by the Developer and the ultimate sale of these units is solely a matter for the Developer. Following on from the necessary approval given by Councillors at the November meeting we immediately began intensive discussions with the Developer which included legal advisors from both sides. These discussions have gone very well and we expect that the Development Agreement could be ready for signing by both parties within two weeks. After signing the Development Agreement the Developer will have six months to apply for Planning Permission to An Bord Pleanála, this planning process will take 4-6 months and if successful the Developer will then begin construction straight away. Prior to the November meeting of the Council the Developer, (Bartra) indicated that they were prepared to reserve a significant number of their private units for sale to an Approved Housing Body nominated by Dublin City Council for the development of a cost rental scheme. The Acting Law Agent in Dublin City Council and the independent legal firm who have been part of the Procurement Governance Structure are fully satisfied that the arrangement proposed by Bartra has no legal implications for the process. It does not affect the Section 183 disposal nor will it be part of the Development Agreement but we do acknowledge the commitment from Bartra and we will work hard all the parties involved to make it work. We are currently preparing a suitable brief which will be used to seek expressions of interest from Approved Housing Bodies and we expect to be in a position to do this within the next two weeks. 1 Page 71 This may also provide an opportunity for the successful Approved Housing Body or Bodies to manage other parts of the development or indeed to have a key role in the future management of the entire new residential development at O’Devaney Gardens. In the context of recent commentary around this hugely important project for the City I wish to clarify the full implications of the Section 183 disposal not being approved; - The Re-Development Proposal for O’Devaney Gardens would have to be abandoned totally undoing a Public Procurement Process which has been ongoing since January 2017. It would more than likely lead to a similar abandonment of the Oscar Traynor Road Project. - There is no Plan B, therefore, we would be right back to the “drawing board”. - While, of course there are alternative ways of developing a site like this we could not rush into another plan without full political and financial certainty. Serious consideration would have to be given to transferring the land in question to the newly established Land Development Agency who I understand are talking to the Department of Defence in relation to adjacent land at St. Bricin’s Hospital. If we are to take on the project directly the following must be noted; - It would take 3 to 5 years at best to get to the stage the project is now at and it could be 10 years before completion. All the usual processes around planning (Bord Pleanala), design, infrastructure , cost benefit analysis, capital appraisal, cost spending code, consultation, public procurement for consultants and ultimately the procurement of a contractor would have to be exhaustively worked through. - While the Government funds Social Housing it does not fund Affordable Housing (Purchase or Cost Rental) apart from the Site Services Fund (SSF) therefore there would be a significant challenge for Dublin City Council to sustain the level of borrowing required to fund such schemes. Unlike the current Bartra deal Dublin City Council would be carrying the full financial risk. - This Development is not just about building another housing estate, there is a significant level of ancillary facilities such as parkland, play areas, community centre, crèche, retail outlets etc. as well as new roads and other necessary physical infrastructure all of which add to the overall cost. It should be noted that in other housing schemes currently being constructed by Dublin City Council that do not involve such ancillary facilities the unit costs are working out at between €350k and €370k. With this in mind and likely increasing construction costs it is very unlikely that a Dublin City Council direct development would achieve the level of affordability (€300k max for affordable purchase) that is part of the Bartra Agreement. - The €7 million cash contribution from Bartra would not be achievable in a direct development by Dublin City Council, therefore, ”the sunken costs” and any additional plans for community facilities would have to be added to construction costs which would further lessen the chance of getting affordability. 2 Page 72 To change to a direct development model by Dublin City Council would clearly significantly delay the provision of much needed housing on this site and leave the site derelict for many more years. We are satisfied that it would not achieve better value for money or a better deal for tax payers and would not get a level of affordability any better than the current Bartra deal and to attempt this could result in a considerable reduction in standards and quality in comparison to the Bartra Deal. It is important to remind Councillors of the positives arising from the deal with Bartra and that the entire Procurement and Development Agreement Process was and is designed to get the best possible result for the City, both in terms of social, and in financial gain, using the leverage afforded by state owned lands: • The full O’Devaney Gardens site is being developed with 824 new homes in a quality sustainable mixed tenure scheme, including catering for those families whose incomes disqualify them from social housing, but who may wish to purchase a home in the area of their choice. • We are achieving full development of the site without the associated risks (Financial & Planning) – The Developer carries these risks. • Enhanced control over the development via the Competitive Dialogue and the Development Agreement, including input into heights, densities (also subject to Planning) along with restrictions on apartment typologies and tenure, i.e., no studio apartments, no shared accommodation, no student accommodation. • There will be tenure neutrality across the three tenure types (no design difference between the social, private or affordable homes). • Fixed prices for both the social and the affordable units over the period of the development which represents an equivalent cash value in the region of €19M. • Although 50% of the built units will be sold by the developer at market prices, this only represents 22% of the land. • • The proposed new development is very high quality and very attractive in design terms. • Social Labour Clause which aspires to a minimum of 20% of the workers on site to be taken from the live register representing opportunities for local employment. Social Employment and Pay and Conditions Clauses will also be inserted in the Development Agreement between the Developer and DCC. Commitment by DCC to develop Community/Cultural Campus at the northern section of the nearby Infirmary Road lands using funding from the 7 Million cash received from the Developer. The Developer will provide the following: • All the infrastructure, roads, footpaths, street lighting, drainage, landscaping, new public park, crèche, etc., which has an equivalent cash value in the region of €10M. • Main Public Park- 6,800 Square Metres. • Retail Facilities- 4 units varying between 164 and 238 Square Metres. • Amenity- 2 units ranging between 148 and 222 Square Metres. • Community Facility- 1 unit 233 Square Metres. This will be transferred at no cost to DCC. 3 Page 73 • Playground- 825 Square Metres • Multi Use Sports Area (MUGA). • Crèche – 1 unit 365 Square Metres. • Pocket park – 200 Square Metres. • New connection road linking South Circular Road to Montpelier Park. • Cycle-ways along Main Boulevard and through a “Green Cycle-Way” North /South. There is also provision for cycle friendly pathways along the north/south greenway. • 192 additional social homes for DCC at a significant discount from market prices. • • 165 affordable homes at a significant discount from market prices. A Cash Payment of €7M from the developer to DCC which will offset sunken costs already incurred on this project e.g. demolition etc. as well as contributing to new community facilities in the general area. Dublin City Council is not giving away this land to a Private Developer nor are we selling the land, we are using this state land to lever all of the above for the benefit of citizens in Dublin city. There was a strong Governance Structure from the beginning of this project which oversaw all aspects of the procurement process and the soon to be signed development agreement that included all relevant expertise including officials from the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) who were fully focussed on value for money, cost spending code, cost benefit analysis etc. This structure will remain in place to oversee the actual development of the site. We believe that this hugely important project as agreed (Section 183) at the November Council meeting will deliver within a reasonable timescale a really top quality residential development with all the necessary ancillary facilities, and provide much needed housing for households on our waiting lists as well as affordable housing opportunities. We are very much looking forward to working with Bartra and on getting construction moving as soon as possible Brendan Kenny Deputy Chief Executive 4 Page 74 Monthly City Council Meeting Monday 2 December 2019 COMHAIRLE CATHRACH BHAILE ÁTHA CLIATH Miontuairiscí Chruinniú Míosúil a tionóladh ar 2 Nollaíg 2019 i Seomra na Comhairle, Halla na Cathrach, Cnoc Chorcaí ag 6.15 i.n,i láthair an tArdmheara Paul McAuliffe sa chathaoir Comhairleoir: Chris Andrews Janice Boylan Claire Byrne Hazel Chu Caroline Conroy Joe Costello Daithí De Róiste Daithí Doolan Mary Fitzpatrick Anthony Flynn Gary Gannon Lawrence Hemmings Janet Horner Dermot Lacey Tina MacVeigh Paddy McCartan Críona Ni Dhálaigh Claire O'Connor Larry O'Toole Noeleen Reilly Marie Sherlock Comhairleoir: Daryl Barron Tom Brabazon Danny Byrne Anthony Connaghan Deirdre Conroy Patrick Costello Tara Deacy Pat Dunne Declan Flanagan Mannix Flynn James Geoghegan Deirdre Heney Neasa Hourigan John Lyons Ray McAdam Seamas McGrattan Sophie Nicoullaud Damian O'Farrell Cieran Perry Nial Ring Catherine Stocker Oifigigh Kim Breen Enda Currid John Flanagan Yvonne Kelly Greg O'Dwyer Deirdre Ni Raghallaigh Margaret Clarke Oliver Douglas Owen P.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The list below is of the main Parks operated by Dublin City Council Parks Service sorted within DCC Administrative Areas. In addition there are a very large number of open spaces and other facilities, too numerous to list in the format required by the councillor, however he is welcome to contact the undersigned in relation to any specific queries. North Central Area Fairview Park Belcamp Park Rockfield Park Edenmore Park Fr. Collin’s Park St. Anne’s Park Bull Island North West Area Ellenfield Park Coultry Park Poppintree Park Tolka Valley Park Mellowes Park Johnstown Park Albert College Park Nephin or John Paul Park Griffith Park South West Area Willie Pearse Park Stannaway Park Walkinstown Park Markievicz Park Le Fanu Park St. Audoens Park Brickfields Park Lansdowne Valley Park Central Area Blessington St. Park Mountjoy Square Ormond Square South East Area Palmerston Herbert Park St. Patrick’s Park Harolds X Park Page 83 Appendix A Bushy Park Sundrive/Eamonn Ceannt Pk Merrion Square Park Ringsend/Irishtown Park Q.2 COUNCILLOR ALISON GILLILAND To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for clear signage to be erected at all Dublin City Council E car charging points to indicate whether or not a parking fee must be paid by the e vehicle owner when charging the vehicle. Many e-vehicle owners have been clamped, for example in Parnell Square, while charging their vehicle due to the lack of any indication that a parking charge must be paid. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: It has always been the case that when a car is parked in Dublin City in a regulated parking space, that the relevant hourly parking fee in that area would apply. Dublin City Council has never afforded free parking to EV’s parked in EV Charging Bays. The ESB, who own the charging infrastructure, have until recently allowed customer’s recharge their EV’s without paying. Installing additional signage in this instance would contravene the Dublin City Council signage policy and also lead to a proliferation of signage throughout the city. It is therefore not recommended. Q.3 COUNCILLOR ALISON GILLILAND To ask the Chief Executive to indicate the key types of public liability claims received against Dublin City Council i.e. footpath trips, stair falls in Dublin City Council owned buildings etc. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The top three key types of public liability claims received against Dublin City Council are as follows:1. 2. 3. Footpath and slips/trips Defective premises Road The above data was supplied by IPB, Dublin City Council’s insurers and is based on Q4 2018 figures. Q.4 COUNCILLOR DERMOT LACEY To ask the Chief Executive if he will arrange for the footpath from (details supplied) Ranelagh Road to be repaired. The length is approximated 70 metre with an average with of slightly less than 3 metres, giving a surface area of about 200 sq. metres. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: This footpath will be inspected and repairs scheduled if required. Q.5 COUNCILLOR DERMOT LACEY To ask the Chief Executive the legal process and legislation providing for the installation of the various utility boxes on public property across the City. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Environment and Transportation Department issue licences, under Section 254 of the Planning & Development Act 2000 to utilities wishing to place telecommunication cabinets on the public footpaths. Page 84 Appendix A Q.6 COUNCILLOR NOELEEN REILLY To ask the Chief Executive for the total value of claims against Dublin City Council from 2014 to present, which department they have claimed from and how many were won and lost. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Law Department is gathering the information and will issue a detailed response to the Councillor before the January Council meeting. Q.7 COUNCILLOR DONNA COONEY To ask the Chief Executive if the Moore Street Market can be designated as a market rather than casual trading. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The designation of Markets is generally done by way of Royal Charter or Statute. A market designated in such a manner generally creates market rights often referred to as a franchise right which is akin to a property right. It is not the Council’s intention to create such rights and that the designated status under the Casual Trading Act will remain. Depending on the outcome of the Expert Group currently being set up to look at the future of trading in Moore Street there remains a possibility that any future trading on Moore Street may come under the auspices of a Market Manager while being operated under Casual Trading legislation. Q.8 COUNCILLOR CHRISTY BURKE To ask the Chief Executive if Dublin City Council have the funding to repair voids of flats and houses in the North Inner City Dublin 1, 3 and 7. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: A total of 45 properties are currently being refurbished in the Central Area. 32 of these are being refurbished by Framework Contractors and 13 by Direct Labour. So far this year 130 properties have been refurbished in the Area, 36 Houses, 57 apartments and 37 senior citizens’ units. Q.9 COUNCILLOR CHRISTY BURKE To ask the Chief Executive as to what programs off works are in place to remove leaves from the city. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services are currently operating a leaves removal programme throughout the city and this will continue until all the leaves have fallen. Priority is given to tree-lined streets with heavy pedestrian use and areas particularly prone to flooding. As leaves removal is labour intensive and time consuming, it takes time to get around to all parts of the city. As many staff as possible are dedicated to this task, including our public domain staff in the afternoons and weekends. Also some residents groups get bags and equipment from us to enable them to help clear the leaves from their areas. Q.10 COUNCILLOR CHRISTY BURKE To ask the Chief Executive when the dampness and other works take place for (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: All works will be completed in this property within the next two weeks. Page 85 Appendix A Q.11 COUNCILLOR CHRISTY BURKE To ask the Chief Executive when will the new hall door be fitted at (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: A reply will be issued to the councillor within the next two weeks. Q.12 COUNCILLOR ANTHONY CONNAGHAN To ask the Chief Executive if the idea of using molten tar was ever considered to seal cracks on roads to prevent weeds from coming through. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Road Maintenance Services does not propose to use ‘Molten Tar’ for the control of weeds on the City Council’s road network due to the significant costs that would be incurred and due to health and safety concerns regarding its application. Q.13 COUNCILLOR ANTHONY CONNAGHAN To ask the Chief Executive if the streetlights on Dunsink Park can be upgraded to the LED lamps. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The lighting on Dunsink Park was assessed and we consider the light levels to be satisfactory and we have no plans at present for any improvements to the lighting here. However, Public Lighting Services is currently involved in developing tender documentation to replace most of its existing non LED lights with LED lights over a five to six-year timescale. Until such time, we will continue to carry out routine maintenance works on the existing lights and will replace existing lamps as required. Q.14 COUNCILLOR RAY MCADAM To ask the Chief Executive to indicate what the current situation is from the perspective of the Derelict / Vacant Sites Sections with regards to (details supplied) and what are the next steps in terms of tackling dereliction on the site: and if he will make a statement on the matter? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The site at (details supplied) was entered on the Vacant Sites Register on 16th September 2019, in line with criteria as outlined in the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act, 2015 (as amended). Should this site remain vacant from 1st January 2020 up to 31st December 2020 (inclusive) and in the same ownership, a Demand for payment of vacant sites levy will be served on the owners of this site in January 2021. The vacant sites levy will be based on 7% of the sites market valuation. Q.15 COUNCILLOR RAY MCADAM To ask the Chief Executive to commit to enhancing the quality of public lighting on the stretch of (details supplied 1) between (details supplied 2) and if he will make a statement on the matter? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The lighting on (details supplied) was assessed and we consider the light levels to be satisfactory and we have no plans at present for any improvements to the lighting here. We will continue to carry out routine maintenance works on the existing lights and will replace existing lamps as required. Q.16 COUNCILLOR REBECCA MOYNIHAN To ask the Chief Executive for an update on housing query (details supplied). Page 86 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The applicant is currently in receipt of the HAP payment and is on the Transfer Housing List with the following positions – Area Area K Area K Area J Area J Bedsize 3 4 3 4 Position 61 6 34 3 The applicant is 3rd on the Housing List for a 4 bed property, however, for a 3 bed property the applicant is placed at no 34. The property at (details supplied) is a 3 bedroom property, based on the applicant’s position for a 3 bed property, it is unlikely the applicant will be reached for an offer of the property at (details supplied). Q.17 COUNCILLOR CHRIS ANDREWS To ask the Chief Executive what the procedure is where residents need CCTV introduced to assist in combatting anti-social behaviour and what are the criteria that need to be met to have it agreed and installed and who is ultimately responsible for making this decision and processing the response? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The first approach should be made to the Local Area Housing Officer for assessment and investigation. The area office will consider all relevant factors and the Area Manager will make the final recommendation. After that, it is a case of sourcing the necessary funding and ensuring compliance with data protection etc. Q.18 COUNCILLOR REBECCA MOYNIHAN To ask the Chief Executive to install double yellow lines along the corner of New Ireland Road/SCR by the chemist which is being parked on by large vans, causing visibility difficulties for residents exiting onto SCR at this junction. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The request for double yellow lines at the above location has been added to the Transport Advisory Group agenda for examination and report by the Area Traffic Engineer under Enquiry No: 7012493. The Councillor will receive the final recommendation of the Transport Advisory Group in due course. Q.19 COUNCILLOR CHRIS ANDREWS To ask the Chief Executive to arrange to have the continuous white line painted on the East Link Bridge roadway and approach roadways so that it is clearly visible day and night and also can the signage be improved to show that overtaking is not permitted on the East Link Bridge. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Signage requested is already in place (see attached photo). The road markings will be renewed within 7 workings days of the council meeting of the 2nd December 2019. (Weather Permitting). Page 87 Appendix A Q.20 COUNCILLOR CHRIS ANDREWS To ask the Chief Executive to arrange to have a saddle board placed on the door of the bin storage area in new York Street Apartments as the rats are making their way in and out of this bin storage area when waste is being stored there? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: We have instructed the local depot for to investigate the issues relating to the bin storage in York Street flats and come up with a solution for the storage area to alleviate this issue. In the meantime we will continue to treat the flat complexes with rat bait. The process for dealing with rats is to lay bait boxes in shores, and in bin chutes and safe areas where there is no access by children. These areas are checked approximately 2 weeks later to determine if the bait has been taken which indicates a presence of vermin. In such cases further bait is laid, rechecked and re-laid until such time as the issue is resolved. We will continue to monitor the common areas in this flat complex and will take any necessary action to deal with the presence of rats if identified. Q.21 COUNCILLOR REBECCA MOYNIHAN To ask the Chief Executive what procedures are in place for the improvement of cycle facilities and infrastructure when road improvements are taking place and if there is a review of our current practices to enhance cycle lanes in the city when road resurfacing is taking place? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Prior to Road Maintenance Services resurfacing a carriageway with new asphalt, the Traffic Management & Control Section (Traffic) carry out an inspection. Where existing cycle lanes formed part of the previous road layout, Traffic will endeavour to expand / widen the cycle lanes to maximise road cycling space on new surfaces. The widening of cycle lanes on a new surface is always considered and prioritised. Whether or not this is achievable is determined by the actual road space available between the footpaths, while respecting the minimum widths for other vehicular traffic. In 2019, cycle lane widths were increased, with new improved surfaces, at the following locations: Ranelagh Rd, Camden St, Georges St, Botanic Rd and Aungier St. In addition, where a road has been newly resurfaced and the cycle track widened, Traffic are commencing the re-installation of ‘red surfacing’ e.g. ongoing works on Botanic Rd. In relation to the expansion of the cycling infrastructure, Traffic have identified an opportunity on Dean St at the new Hotel. New cycle infrastructure will be installed here as part of the new road layout. Q.22 COUNCILLOR REBECCA MOYNIHAN To ask the Chief Executive to give a comparative report on the cost of providing wands for traffic segregation and the cost of installing kerbs along cycle lanes. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Any such comparative report would need to be site specific and the costs will vary considerably depending on a range of factors including the length of cycle track involved, the drainage requirements, type of kerb used etc. In many cases it may be inappropriate to substitute kerbing for traffic wands, particularly where only short sections of wands have been used. If the Councillor has a particular location in mind and supplies details the area can be investigated. Page 88 Appendix A Q.23 COUNCILLOR ANTHONY CONNAGHAN To ask the Chief Executive if he will comment on the length of time taking to upload documents online for planning applications and if he will commit to adding resources to the department to enable quicker uploads where needed. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Chief Executive has provided additional resources to the Planning Department but due to an increase in the number of planning applications being lodged, the publishing of valid planning applications to the web is taking longer than the agreed period. The situation is under continuous review with every effort being taken to ensure that valid planning application are available to view on the web within 10 working days. Q.24 COUNCILLOR ANTHONY CONNAGHAN To ask the Chief Executive if he will investigate a co-ordinated approach for the Insulation programme with other stakeholders (i.e. private homeowners, Dept. of Environment and Energy companies (SEAI, Energy Action etc.) in order to maximise the efficiencies of the Scheme. At present we have provided insulation to Council Housing and on occasion we have left private homes in between 2 completed Council Properties. If done properly we could see benefits to private homeowners as well as Council homes whilst most likely reducing the overall cost by keeping the Energy contractors moving along the same street until all the homes are completed instead of jumping from one street to the next. This would go toward meeting targets in Climate Action plans and most likely create extra employment. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Energy Efficiency Fabric Upgrade programme is co-funded by The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government with the shortfall between claimable grant limits and the actual cost of the works being funded by Dublin City Council. We maintain regular contact with all relevant stakeholders including those aforementioned above. The programme is designed and funded to include social housing units, our contractors are available to carry out the same upgrade works for private homeowners who express an interest in same. Our contractors have carried out these upgrade works for some private owners in all of the areas we are working in however it is at the complete discretion of the private homeowner. Q.25 COUNCILLOR LARRY O’TOOLE To ask the Chief Executive for the gutters at (details supplied) be repaired without further delay? The work was promised mid-2018. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Works will commence at this property in the next two weeks. The contractor will arrange a suitable time with the tenant to commence the repairs. Q.26 COUNCILLOR LARRY O’TOOLE To ask the Chief Executive what is the future of the (details supplied) Allotments? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The (details supplied 1) Masterplan will go on public display for a minimum of 6 weeks within a fortnight. The Masterplan sets out a structure from which the future housing, amenities, community facilities, road network and open spaces can be shaped around; giving the detail necessary to ensure the full implementation of the (details supplied 2) Local Area Plan. In 2012, within the LAP, the use of the housing lands for temporary allotments was proposed and this has been successfully implemented in the intervening years. The Page 89 Appendix A masterplan does provide new areas of open space, as well as provision for a new school and much needed new housing. The open space areas within the masterplan will need to balance the provision of essential local play and amenity areas for families as well as meeting the local demand for allotments. It is the intent of the Council to use the time during the public consultation on the masterplan, (in addition to including a reconfigured allotment area in the masterplan); to develop a number of viable options regarding a further permanent solution to the demand for allotments within the North Central Area and to bring these to the Area Committee prior to the finalisation of the Masterplan. Q.27 COUNCILLOR NOELEEN REILLY To ask the Chief Executive how many dogs have been euthanized from 2015 to now and what findings has been provided in those years for the neutering of animals? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: 73 dogs were euthanized from 2015 to date. The dog pound does not have facilities to neuter or spay dogs and are not contracted to do so. However, they work with a number of rescues and have an understanding with the rescues that all dogs signed over to them are neutered, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Since 2015, 1,370 dogs have gone from the pound to rescue. The DSPCA work closely with horse owners and hold regular snip and chip clinics for their horses at a reduced cost. Q.28 COUNCILLOR NOELEEN REILLY To ask the Chief Executive the numbers of employees in Dublin Council per department and how that compares with 2008. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Staff are allocated in accordance to business needs across the organisation. Since 2008, substantial changes have occurred both to department structures and functions within the City Council and to the overall headcount in general in response to the economic crises of 2008 - 2014. The establishment of Irish Water, the completion of projects, for example Ballymun Regeneration Project, and delivery of new services in areas including housing, the community, economic development, traffic and the environment, and greater use of technology have all influenced resourcing allocation in departments that have been realigned since 2008. It is therefore not possible to provide a comparative, at a departmental level, between 2008 and the present day. Below are details on staffing numbers as returned to the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government for December 2008: Employee Number – 31st December 2008 Category Number Managerial 53 Clerical/Administrative 2,382 Page 90 Appendix A Professional 548 Outdoor 3,163 Fulltime Firefighters 979 Total 7,125 And staffing numbers as returned to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government October 2019 Employee Number – 31st October 2019 Q.29 Category Number Managerial 31 Clerical/Administrative 1,849 Professional 564 Outdoor 2,428 Fulltime Firefighters 913 Total 5,785 COUNCILLOR NOELEEN REILLY To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the apprenticeship scheme initiated in DCC a number of years ago. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin City Council’s Junior Apprenticeship Programme commenced in September 2018. There are currently 29 apprenticeships progressing through the programme as detailed below. Apprenticeship Brick and Stone Laying Carpentry Plumbing Electrical Number of Employees 6 9 9 5 3 of the 29 apprentices entered the programme by way of the Dublin Institute of Technology “Access to Apprenticeship” programme which is a 12 week programme which aims to support the transition of students (16-24 years old) from disadvantaged backgrounds into an apprenticeship scheme. Q.30 COUNCILLOR JANE HORGAN-JONES To ask the Chief Executive if there are any live planning applications in respect of the (details supplied) or if any pre planning meetings have been held with the Council by the owner of this site? Page 91 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Following a review of APAS (the planning system) there are no records of any current planning applications. Should an application be lodged, any Section 247 preapplication meeting records, including details of attendees and key issues raised shall be placed on the public planning file. Q.31 COUNCILLOR JANE HORGAN-JONES To ask the Chief Executive re destruction of all the hedgerows in the field adjacent to (details supplied). Diggers moved into this field on July and removed meters and mounds of vegetation and hedgerows. This field is home to foxes, hedgehogs, badgers, squirrels, mice, rats and a large population of different kinds of birds that are now displaced at large. It is my understanding that the law has been broken (Section 40 of the Wildlife Act 1976) and I am seeking information and aid with regards to prosecution and reassurance that this will not happen again. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Parks Service were made aware of concerns surrounding the removal of hedgerows at (details supplied) earlier in the year and contacted the National Parks and Wildlife Service who are responsible for the enforcement of the Wildlife Act. Q.32 COUNCILLOR JANE HORGAN-JONES To ask the Chief Executive to make a statement on the falling of a significant number of the (details supplied). The trees created a lovely woodland feel to the lane and added enormously to the experience of walking through it. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The over-mature chestnut trees along (details supplied) were removed in July and replacement planting will take place later this year as part of the winter tree planting programme in early 2020. These large trees have been a significant cause for concern for the adjoining residents for some time now with large limbs falling into private gardens during storm events. Due to the volume of complaints and representations received a commitment was given to the Area Committee earlier this year to have the trees professionally surveyed. The survey was recently completed and unfortunately overall these trees are in very poor condition structurally defined as Category U – Trees with Serious Defects/Decline and it was recommended that the trees be replaced. It was evident that these trees had been repeatedly pruned in the past with very large limbs having been removed above the private gardens leading extensive cavities and decay throughout the tree line. Evidence of cavities at the base of some of the tree line with decay causing fungi was a particular cause of concern. Due to the proximity of these trees to both the adjoining housing, overhanging private gardens and the busy public footpath this work was prioritised as it was felt that it was of the utmost importance that the trees would be made safe before the onset of autumn winter storms as the risk posed is unacceptable. Q.33 COUNCILLOR JANE HORGAN-JONES To ask the Chief Executive regarding the Car Club Vehicle Permit Scheme and its operation in respect of Go Cars. Page 92 Appendix A Property owners in residential areas report that these vehicles are regularly parking on quiet residential streets and apparently are permitted to do so by reason of their holding a Car Club Vehicle Permit. This is the case even notwithstanding the existence of DCC owned car parks nearby to these roads which would be more suitable for such commercial use (e.g. Go Cars parking on (details supplied 1). Pursuant to Part IV section (i) of the 2013 Car Club Bye Laws the Council has the power to prescribe streets/areas where Car Club vehicles cannot park and also may limit the number of Car Club vehicles parked in any specific street/area. Can you advise me of what streets/areas have been prescribed to date in the city pursuant to this section and what criteria are used in evaluating whether such prescription should be made. Can you advise of what process can be used by residents seeking to have their road prescribed in this manner. Can you give consideration to prescribing (details supplied 2) pursuant to this section in order to encourage these cars to relocate to the car parks on the seafront as a more appropriate location which will not limit the ability of a) local residents to park and b) users of local businesses to use these spaces. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Please find attached an excel document that outlines all the addresses in Dublin City where GO Car vehicles are located as start and end of journey locations. Locations are identified on a test basis and influenced by demand in an area and where they can to be placed as start and end journey locations. When hired vehicles can park on any street legally in Dublin City Council area. If complaints are received and when investigated if required the vehicle is moved to another location. Go Car and Car Clubs are seen by Dublin City Council as a positive transport solution for residents in many different areas of the city. In order to make them as accessible as possible for residential users the policy is to provide them on street. Car parks on occasion can be closed at short notice and this would not be a practical option to have GO Car remove their vehicles if parked in such locations. It is estimated that the use of a car club vehicle on street removes the use of up to nine private vehicles that would otherwise use the city streets. This allows for the availability of more parking spaces than would be the case if such car club vehicles were not available to residents in their own areas. Q.34 COUNCILLOR DERMOT LACEY To ask the Chief Executive if he will arrange for the maintenance works at (details supplied) that have been repeatedly promised to this Councillor and the tenants for nearly three years to be actually carried out before Christmas of this year. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: A reply will be issued to the Councillor within the next two weeks. Q.35 COUNCILLOR RACHEAL BATTEN To ask the Chief Executive if he will arrange to have the public light at (details supplied) put back as soon as possible following the erection of a new light pole at this location. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: (details supplied) is an ESB wooden pole. ESB Networks are currently carrying out a change out project replacing old poles with new ones. A number of ESB poles have a Page 93 Appendix A public light installed on them. The ESB have reinstalled the public light and bracket on the new pole. Q.36 COUNCILLOR RACHEAL BATTEN To ask the Chief Executive in light of his concerns of tree roots affect personal injuries claim would he review the councils policy not to remove healthy trees even where there is damaged to the paths and re-plant more suitable trees in those areas were the roots will not cause more financial resources of the council. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The policy for the management of street trees is set out in the City Tree Strategy 20162020 which is based on best arboricultural practices and due diligence with regard to public safety. Decisions on tree replacement are made on a site by site basis in consultation with the Roads Maintenance Service. Q.37 COUNCILLOR RACHEAL BATTEN To ask the Chief Executive to remove the rotten tree at (details supplied) and repair the path in the same area. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Road Maintenance Services has inspected the footpath at (details supplied). A repair has been added to the Road Maintenance Service works list. This will be completed when a works crew is next available in the area. These trees appear to be in significant decline. An inspection will be arranged in the coming weeks with a view to including their removal on the tree care programme for 2020. Q.38 COUNCILLOR DECLAN FLANAGAN To ask the Chief Executive how many staff are directly employed in the waste management function and can I have a breakdown of same. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Council is committed to ensuring a high standard of service delivery in all areas of business with currently circa 550 staff assigned to the management and provision of waste management service across the City Council. As with all business areas, resource allocation is kept under review to ensure efficient and effective delivery of service. Q.39 COUNCILLOR DECLAN FLANAGAN To ask the Chief Executive how many members of staff are currently on remuneration of over €100,000 per year and can I have a breakdown of same.

Q.40 COUNCILLOR DECLAN FLANAGAN To ask the Chief Executive if an audit of traffic sequencing lights can be carried out in the city, there are some traffic lights clearly not functioning around the city. Will 'smart traffic systems' be implemented going forward? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The traffic lights in the Dublin City Council area are operated using the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS). SCATS is an adaptive traffic system responding to real time traffic demand and adjusting signal times where appropriate using predefined plans. It is monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week by the Dublin City Traffic Control Centre. Signal timings vary on a frequent basis depending on traffic volumes on each of the approach roads. Dublin City Council also operate a public transport priority system for Dublin Bus and the Luas and also prioritise pedestrians and cyclist with the traffic phase.

A review of processes and procedures for the collection of social housing rent arrears is ongoing. Q.43 COUNCILLOR TERENCE FLANAGAN To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report regarding the plan to lease out the vacant building next to City Hall (old Valuations office) and if he will make a statement on the matter. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There is no plan to lease out the Newcomen Bank Building (former City Council Rates Office). The office was vacated last April by Rates Office Staff. A City Council project group has been set up to look at the potential of the building to be used for public / cultural use. The uses of this building will be looked at in parallel to the current City Hall service offering to both to the public and to Elected Members. A subgroup of the project group are working closely with elected members through a Protocol SubCommittee in looking at the future provision of services and work spaces for Elected Members. It is planned to procure a design team in 2020 for Newcomen Bank. No decisions have been made about the future management of this building as this will depend on the ultimate use of the building.

They were also advised that the individuals concerned would not be granted access to City Hall or the Council Chamber. A security consultant has been engaged to carry out a full review of security arrangements in City Hall. A report is expected to be presented to the next Protocol Committee on Thursday 19th December. In the interim, Councillors have been requested to submit names of invited guests in advance of the meeting. Q.45 COUNCILLOR MÌCHEÀL MAC DONNCHA To ask the Chief Executive if the cellars uncovered during excavation works for the Moore Lane/Parnell Street hostel development were notified by the developer to the City Council; if an archaeological survey of the cellars was carried out; if so can the report of the survey be made available to councillors; and what action, if any, was taken by the Council on foot of the report. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The City Council’s Archaeology Section received the following documents in response to and in compliance with the requirements of Condition 13 of planning permission Register Reference 3303/18: Page 97 Appendix A 1. an archaeological assessment report dated April 2018, 2. a monitoring report dated January 2019 and 3. a method statement dated August 2019. The developer’s archaeological consultant also notified the planning authority of 1819th century subsurface brick and stone structures, uncovered during excavation works and the Assistant City Archaeologist inspected the site. The cellars/subsurface structures within the subject site were preserved by record, in accordance with an archaeological method statement, approved by the National Monuments Service, as licensing authority, and in accordance with the requirements of Condition 13 of the grant of planning permission. Site works are still ongoing under archaeological supervision of the archaeological consultant. The developer is required to submit a report on the findings to the Planning Authority for compliance purposes after all site works are completed. When received, this report will be placed on the public record (planning file). Q.46 COUNCILLOR MÌCHEÀL MAC DONNCHA To ask the Chief Executive In light of the refusal of Hammerson to allow access to 1916 buildings for assessment will the on -street survey reports undertaken on behalf of the City Council by Kelly & Cogan, Conservation Architects be made available for the consideration of the members. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: In November 2015, the Planning and Property Development Department undertook an Invitation to Tender for the assessment of those structures for proposed addition to the RPS. Following the tender process, Kelly & Cogan Architects were appointed to undertake the assessment and commenced their research and external survey work. An application was made to the owners for access to the sites and details of the successful tenderer were provided. Their solicitors objected to the appointment of Kelly & Cogan Architects as they asserted that this firm advised and completed affidavits in High Court proceedings relating to the sites. The Law Agent advised that in these circumstances they should not be appointed by the Council to do the assessment of the structures. In conclusion, the document received from Kelly & Cogan is only a Draft Report dated 31 August 2016. It is incomplete, as the consultants were not allowed inspect any of the structures internally nor inspect within the site boundaries. The assessments and recommendations of the Draft Report can be considered to be preliminary only, pending further research, examination, internal inspection and explanation. No final report has been submitted. If the Councillor wishes to view the contents of the incomplete report, this can be arranged by contacting Maire Igoe at maire.igoe@dublincity.ie. Q.47 COUNCILLOR MANNIX FLYNN To ask the Chief Executive issue a full report with regards any contractual arrangements by Dublin City Council’s Homeless Executive for the leasing of the Avalon house hostel on Aungier Street. This report also to include: any preconsultations with the local community and business community and An Garda Siochana.  How much is Dublin City Council proposing to pay for this lease? Page 98 Appendix A      How long will the lease be for? How many individuals will reside at this premises? Who are the clients for this premises? Will any sex offenders be accommodated at this location? Has there been due diligence and a company check on the new owners of the Avalon house?  Is the company now in charge of Avalon house a vulture fund or an offshore company who are its directors? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY:  How much is Dublin City Council proposing to pay for this lease? How long will the lease be for? The lease is between Peter McVerry Trust (PMVT) and the owners, with the support of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE). DRHE are currently negotiating a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with PMVT for the provision on emergency accommodation.  How many individuals will reside at this premises? Who are the clients for this premises? PMVT plans to put in place a provision of 125 permanent Supported Temporary Accommodation (STA) beds and 25 cold weather beds, which will operate from 1st October to 31st March annually for vulnerable homeless adults. This will constitute a maximum capacity of 150 in the winter months and 125 for the remaining six months of the year.  Will any sex offenders be accommodated at this location? No  Has there been due diligence and a company check on the new owners of the Avalon house? Is the company now in charge of Avalon house a vulture fund or an offshore company who are its directors? As the DRHE is not the lessee of the property, these questions would be best directed to PMVT. Q.48 COUNCILLOR MANNIX FLYNN To ask the Chief Executive issue a full report regarding the ongoing controversy around the rebranding of the Grafton Street area under the title Grafton Street quarter by the Dublin BIDS company trading as We Are Dublin Town. Further, has the CEO made any contact with the directors of the BID Company and instructed them to remove the offending sign on Grafton Street and also the offending signs on Henry Street? There is widespread public concern around the manner in which Christmas public lighting was used to promote a rebranding and the commercialisation of the entire neighbourhood and area. Many business owners who are members of the BID are absolutely appalled that their hard earned money and double rates would be spent in such a reckless fashion and are demanding the signs be removed. Also can Dublin City Council ensure that the CEO of BIDS give a commitment that in future a pre-planning application would have to be lodged with Dublin City Council prior to the placing of any Christmas lights on our streets by the BID Company. Page 99 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Although the City Council published a public realm plan in 2014 titled “Grafton Street Quarter Public Realm Plan”, and this plan would have been presented and noted by Councillors, the recent issue with Christmas lighting and the use of the term “Grafton Quarter” did not involve Dublin City Council. The City Council was not consulted on and did not approve of the new sign, which replaced a sign in Irish on Grafton Street. The matter will be raised with Dublin Town, who erected the lights, in the context of Christmas 2020 lights. The Christmas Lights and Decorations are a matter for Dublin Bids Company and their members. They are temporary installations provided to decorate the city at Christmas time and do not require planning permission. The Christmas Lights including the signs referred to in the city core are provided and installed by Dublin Bids Company and their members at their expense for the betterment of the city. They are temporary installations provided to decorate the city at Christmas time and do not require planning. Although the City Council published a public realm plan in 2014 titled “Grafton Street Quarter Public Realm Plan”, and this plan would have been presented and noted by Councillors. The recent temporary Christmas lighting sign and the use of the term “Grafton Quarter” does not represent a rebranding and did not involve Dublin City Council. Q.49 COUNCILLOR MANNIX FLYNN To ask the Chief Executive to issue a full report regarding the cost of this year’s winter lighting project that has been initiated by Dublin City Council. This report also to include all tendering processes that took place around this project. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Eventco Management Ltd have a three year contract with Dublin City Council to roll out its Winter Lights programme. The contract was advertised via E Tenders on 12th June 2018. 2019 is the 2nd year of this contract. The total cost for this year’s Winter Lights Projections from Eventco are as follows 1. €486,249.75 (Inclusive of Vat) This is broken down as follows • Projections/Lights - €455,377.75 (Inclusive of Vat) • Maintenance of Bridge - €11,350.00 (Inclusive of Vat) • Install of Millennium Bridge lights - €19,522.00 (Inclusive of Vat) Q.50 COUNCILLOR MANNIX FLYNN To ask the Chief Executive for a full update report with regard to the ongoing issues of the Staircase Building on Aungier Street. This report to include a full update and appraisal of the condition of this National Monument. Also, what payments are being made to the owners of this building by the Peter McVerry Trust and Dublin City Council’s Homeless Executive who signed the lease on this premises a number of years back. This premises is now closed and it’s not being used for any purpose yet Dublin City Council’s Homeless Executive and the Peter McVerry Trust appear to be paying large sums of money on an ongoing lease here Page 100 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Staircase, 21 Aungier Street, Dublin 2 was leased by the Peter McVerry Trust (PMVT) in late 2016 to provide between 20 and 25 beds for emergency accommodation for vulnerable adults with the support of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE). The property had been used previously to accommodate vulnerable adults. The building required work and as some elements within the building had been on the National Monuments Register prior to 2007, it was of interest from a historical, conservation and protected structure perspective. The lease cost on the property amounts to €16,250.00 per month and €373,750 has been paid to date by the DRHE to PMVT. There was considerable opposition to the proposed use of the building as a homeless emergency accommodation facility and following an extended period of discussions with interested parties and public representatives agreement was reached in early 2017 to not proceed with the proposal and to work to dispose of the lease as soon as it was practical to do so, for use of the building for an alternative purpose. Disposal of the lease to an alternative party is at an advanced stage and it is anticipated that the commitment to this property will cease in 2020. Q.51 COUNCILLOR DEIRDRE CONROY To ask the Chief Executive whether City Council should adjourn the proposed extensive alterations to Poddle Park, including removal of trees and construction of wall through the park, in order to undertake alternative procedures, and review the flooding impact over time. For information purpose, I arranged a meeting between a local resident group and the South Dublin County Council Engineer on the Poddle Flood Project. After the meeting, the resident group noted that the engineer confirmed that there is no trash screen at the KCR area of Poddle River. The KCR area is where a mattress was found blocking the culverted part of the river during the 2011 flood, thus exacerbating the problem downstream. Engineer conceded same. Engineer confirmed that post 2011, 3 alarms were installed at Wainsfort, Gandon Court and Kimmage Manor in 2014. But there is no alarm along the open channel or culvert from KCR to Gandon. Thus, the community group feel it is premature to proceed with major flood alleviation plans, when the opportunity to install an alarm and trash screen has not been undertaken. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The proposed Poddle River Flood Alleviation Project is designed to protect against property flooding to the National standard which is a 100 year flood event (larger than 2011 in many areas) which has a 1% chance of occurring in any one year with a conservative allowance of 60% blockage in 12 major culverts and 40% blockage in the remaining culverts. These blockages would mostly be attributable to debris and siltation. There is also a provision for some climate change in the design. The defences proposed are those required to protect an estimated 921 mainly residential properties at flooding risk. Because the Poddle River flows are subject to Page 101 Appendix A rapid change following rainfall, all trash screens are cleaned out before a forecast significant rainfall event and any visible debris removed. Dublin City Council appointed Tobin Consulting Engineers to the Culvert Improvement Works – Screen Upgrade Works project in February 2019. This project involves the design and installation of new trash and security screens to span culvert entrances at nineteen locations around the city. Four of the locations are on the section of the Poddle River within the functional area of Dublin City Council. The new screens will replace existing screens that are assessed to be obsolete, damaged or unsafe with an emphasis on improving hydraulic efficiency, maintainability and safety. The specific screen referred to in the Question (at KCR) is located in the functional area of South Dublin County Council. Dublin City Council continues to work closely with South Dublin County Council in relation to the River Poddle and related flood risks and appropriate flood warnings / alarms. We are satisfied with the current arrangements, in this regard, but will continue to review these, in conjunction with SDCC. Q.52 COUNCILLOR DEIRDRE CONROY To ask the Chief Executive about the relevance of new on-street parking, beside bus stop, access to Marlet development on Lower Kimmage Road [north] in which the NTA have a proposed bus gate and will prevent local resident access to homes on side roads. This question has been brought up at South East Area Committee but the resident group do not find the response relevant, as it refers to the 2010 Marlet planning permission, but 9 years later they consider this is not part of the permission and does not reflect the NTA proposal. I forwarded photographs in October to SEAC. It is recommended that the relevant Council Department should survey the road and its alterations, communicate with the Lower Kimmage Road Resident Association, rather than repeating that it is acceptable to maintain what is considered dangerous parking and new Marlet traffic access; and bus stop proximity to parking, email is below (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The layout of the indented spaces would have been assessed as part of the overall Marlett development. The principle of the pay and display and permit parking scheme being acceptable was established through the planning application process. The detail was to be subsequently agreed with Dublin City Council. The indented spaces were effectively permitted through planning back in 2010 which was before Bus Connect plans were being considered or designed. The indented spaces are still in ownership of the developer and when Dublin City Council take in charge, this will become on street public spaces and are intended to be managed as a standard pay & display and permit scheme. With regard to the suggestion of “super bus stop”, this is a matter that should be referred to the Bus Connect Design Project Team. Q.53 COUNCILLOR DEIRDRE CONROY To ask the Chief Executive about a planning application made on behalf of the Queen of Peace Nursing home which backs onto Garville Lane and whether the Council can review if the building has started. Page 102 Appendix A A local resident enquires about the proposal to build a car park that enters and exits onto Garville lane. Obviously the resident has made a planning observation within the deadline of 19 November. But the resident has stated that the building work started on the site on 13 November. It is considered that Garville Lane would not be able for this level and frequency of traffic, because the Lane is already in bad repair from the current level of traffic and the continued building taking place on the lane. There are also safety concerns as there are a significant amount of families with children on the lane. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: This refers to Planning Application reg. ref: 4218/19 was which is for revisions to previously approved planning permission number 2865/18 and 3978/17 (energy centre) comprising relocation of ESB sub-station from energy centre to ground floor of main building, demolition of existing and provision of new internal staircase, new windows to rear elevation serving new staircase, blocking up of existing windows to south-west gable elevation and new windows/sub-station doors to front elevation at Queen of Peace Centre, Garville Place, Rathgar, Dublin 6. This application was lodged 16th October 2019 and as such is a live planning application. It is not legally possible to comment on planning applications that are currently in the planning system. The application will be assessed in the normal manner by E&T Department. Objections and/or observations should be made within statutory timeframe to the planning department. A planning application was lodged on the 6/10/19, a decision is due no later than 10/12/19. No works should be carried out until a commencement notice has been lodged with the Planning Department subject to permission being granted & a Final Grant or An Bord Pleanala decision being issued. A request has been forwarded to the Planning Enforcement Section and a planning enforcement officer will inspect the site. Q.54 COUNCILLOR KEITH CONNOLLY To ask the Chief Executive investigate the possibility of having a celebrity walk of fame in Dublin City. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin City Council has a Commemorative Naming Policy (adopted by the City Council on 12th June 2017) which includes a Commemorative Plaques scheme. This scheme seeks to ‘honour individuals who have made a unique and significant contribution to the life or history of Dublin through outstanding achievement, distinctive service or significant community contribution’. The scheme is overseen by the Council’s Commemorations & Naming Committee. Thirty plaques have been erected so far, with approval for several others granted. This scheme allows the City to both honour significant individuals and events and link those people/events to different relevant places across the city. Applications for the erection of plaques should be made on the official form, available on the Council’s website. Officials do not recommend the development of a celebrity ‘walk of fame’, where handprints, or bronze plaques, are inserted into the footpath/public realm, due to issues of health and safety (‘slip and trip’) and maintenance requirements, and due to the undesirability of concentrating commemorations in a particular location. Page 103 Appendix A Q.55 COUNCILLOR KEITH CONNOLLY To ask the Chief Executive list how many Dublin City Council computers and laptops operate off Windows 7 and if there is a plan is place for when updates stop for this operating system in January 2020. If a plan is in place how much will the plan cost? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: DCC manages the desktop environment on a multi annual basis. Over the last three years there has been a program of replacement of end of life PCs with all replacements licenced for Windows 10 as part of their purchase. As most of the PCs in DCC were over ten years old their replacement is required independently of the operating system requirements. There are therefore no direct costs to DCC for the Windows 10 upgrade. We currently have 1,900 PCs operating on windows 10 and the remaining 500 PCs which are physically end of life will be migrated by the due date. Q.56 COUNCILLOR KEITH CONNOLLY To ask the Chief Executive to explain and review the council policy of removing public waste bins when illegal dumping takes place beside the bin CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: It is the policy of Dublin City Council to maintain and improve the stock of litter bins in the city. It is also intended to increase the supply of litter bins in areas where there are significant litter generators located and an inadequate supply of bins. Litter bins are only removed where there is continued abuse or vandalism of the bins such as the bins being used for the disposal of predominantly household waste or bins being repeatedly set fire to. The decision to remove bins on this basis is taken as a last resort and is usually communicated to both the local area management and Councillors. Bins should not be removed on the basis that dumping is occurring in the vicinity of the bin. If the Councillor is aware of the removal of bins from specific locations that were undertaken this basis these decisions will be reviewed. Bins may also be removed where they have become damaged and are beyond repair. Any removals undertaken on this basis will be scheduled for replacement. The Waste Management Department are currently preparing a tender for the procurement of bins so that this may be carried out without delay. Bins may also be relocated in instances where they have are not being used and a more suitable alternative location has been identified. Q.57 COUNCILLOR KEITH CONNOLLY To ask the Chief Executive to arrange to repair the badly damaged pathway outside (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Road Maintenance Services informs that this service request has been added to Road Maintenance Services work list and it will be scheduled for repair subject to a prioritybased job queue and the availability of a crew in the area. Q.58 COUNCILLOR DAITHÍ DOOLAN To ask the Chief Executive what is the average waiting time to process a HAP application, if successful is the payment backdated, how many applications were received for each month this year, how many staff are employed to process applications and would an increase in staff numbers speed up the application time? Page 104 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The average waiting time for approval of HAP applications has been approximately 7 weeks. However, in order to finalise as many applications as possible before Christmas a sustained effort has been made by staff working additional hours to reduce this waiting time to 10 days. As all HAP payments are made directly to landlords it is not possible to backdate rent to a date for which a landlord has already received a rent payment. Applicants are advised that they are responsible for all rent payments to their landlord until they receive confirmation that their HAP payment has been approved. When processing an application for HAP, staff confirm with the landlord/tenant what date the rent for the property has been paid up to and HAP payments can only commence from the day after this date. The HAP Section has an average of 960 customer interfaces each month with customers at various stages of the HAP Scheme. A number of these interfaces would include applicants making repeat visits and existing tenants advising of changes in their circumstances. The HAP Section only accepts completed applications with all relevant supporting documentation and an average of 130 tenancies are set up each month. There are currently 14 staff in the HAP Section dealing with new HAP applications, transfers from rent supplement to HAP and managing and maintaining the 3,453 existing HAP tenancies. Q.59 COUNCILLOR DAITHÍ DOOLAN To ask the Chief Executive to make all correspondence available to the Councillor that was sent and received from DCC management relating to (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There was no such correspondence sent or received on this issue during the period in question. I understand there was some correspondence between the Lord Mayor and the Minister. The following correspondence was exchanged between the Office of the Lord Mayor of Dublin and Minister Eoghan Murphy on (details supplied) since June 2019. Date of From Letter 2/10/2019 Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe 7/10/2019 Minister Eoghan Murphy 6/11/2019 Minister Eoghan Murphy 13/11/2019 Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe To Minister Eoghan Murphy Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe Minister Eoghan Murphy Copies of the correspondence listed above will be forwarded to the Councillor. Q.60 COUNCILLOR DAITHÍ DOOLAN To ask the Chief Executive to outline in tabular form the quantity in tonnes of illegal dumping collected by DCC in the years since 2012 and the cost to DCC in the years since 2012? Page 105 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The most recent estimate of the costs and quantities of illegally dumped waste removed from the Dublin City Area in the years 2016 – 2019 is set out in the table below. Year Fleet & Fuel Labour Disposal Tonnes Total 2016 2017 2018 €255,253 €352,611 €356,465 €109,238 €110,485 €165,426 3115 3156 3932 € 966,663 €1,100,424 €1,159,219 €602,172 €637,328 €637,328 Similar figures are not available for the years prior to 2016. At that time an estimate of the overall cost was made that was in the region of 750K per annum. This estimate has now been improved upon by carrying out a more thorough analysis of the costs of the vehicles, fuel, labour and disposal of waste for those resources that are assigned to dealing with the removal and disposal of illegal dumping. Q.61 COUNCILLOR DAITHÍ DOOLAN To ask the Chief Executive when will Phase 2 of the insulation programme in Ballyfermot commence and what is the time frame for this work to be completed? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Phase 2 of the Energy Efficiency Fabric Upgrade programme commenced in March 2018 across all areas including Ballyfermot. To date we have upgraded 145 houses under Phase 2 of the programme in the Ballyfermot area. We estimate that there are a further 859 houses that would be categorised under Phase 2 of the programme in Ballyfermot. Based on current departmental funding levels for the programme, we would estimate that it would take a further 6-7 years to complete the remaining houses in Ballyfermot categorised under Phase 2 of the programme. Q.62 COUNCILLOR LARRY O’TOOLE To ask the Chief Executive to respond to this request: Can the roof of (details supplied) be repaired without further delay. This has been an ongoing issue and is causing untold damage to the property not to mention the discomfiture of the tenants. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: This job has been assigned to a contractor and work to repair the roof in this property is now due to commence. Q.63 COUNCILLOR NIAL RING To ask the Chief Executive to detail the annual income and cost of the provision of the current bulk waste collection service which is provided at a cost of €40 per collection and which the Chief Executive has indicated is a not for profit service and operates at a loss every year. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: In 2018 the City Council received 1620 requests for a bulky household waste collection service. In 2019 to 08th November we have received 1658 requests for collections which demonstrates a steady increase in the demand for the service from the public. In 2018 total revenue received from this collection service was €66,590.00 The overall estimated costs associated with the provision of this same service in 2018 are €131,540.00. These costs are calculated in the following manner. Page 106 Appendix A The rental of an appropriate vehicle and all associated costs such as fuel, maintenance insurance etc. along with the salary required for the 3 men necessary to man this vehicle for 4 days a week in the provision of the service. Estimated total yearly salary of one staff member of €40,000.00 Disposal costs of collected materials. €35.00 per tonne in 2018, which increased to €52.00 in 2019. NB: It is not possible to get exact costs for disposal of household bulky waste collection materials as these materials are generally mixed with illegally dumped bulky waste collected from the streets. However, we do have an estimate for the average weight of materials collected from individual households which is 0.13 Tonne per household. In summary, costs associated with provision of the service for 2018 were as follows and you will see that the service is therefore operating at an estimated yearly loss of approximately €65,000.00 per year. Bulky Waste Revenue and Expenditure 2018 Vehicle Rental and operating Costs €27,840.00 Manpower Costs €96,000.00 Disposal Costs (Estimated) (292.00 Tonne at €35.00 per Tonne) €7,700.00 Estimated Total Expenditure in 2018 €131,540.00 Revenue Receipts in 2018 €66,590.00 Overall Service Provision Loss in 2018 €64,950.00 Q.64 COUNCILLOR NIAL RING To ask the Chief Executive if, having regard to the response of the public to the first Busconnects plan and the changes proposed by the NTA, he would consider it prudent to revisit his proposal for the pedestrianisation of College Green. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Yes we consider it prudent to revisit the College Green proposals in light of the Bus Connects Network redesign scheme. The changes proposed within the newly published Bus Connects Network redesign are very positive for the whole College Green project with significantly less buses passing through College Green and without any buses terminating in the area. This will substantially lessen the number of routes which are required to be changed to allow College Green to be pedestrianised and also allows for a change of design within the plaza and approach areas to take account both of this reduction and the removal of requirements for buses to have terminuses close to College Green. The NTA has indicated support for this phased approach to removal of bus traffic through College Green. DCC are therefore revisiting the design proposed for this area to take account of this new network layout and the lessons learned from the very successful Summer Sundays, with a view to submitting a revised design in 2020. Q.65 COUNCILLOR NIAL RING To ask the Chief Executive to confirm that the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 contains a section whereby local authorities would have power to have housing rents deducted directly from social welfare payments. Can the Chief Executive confirm Page 107 Appendix A how many DCC tenants are in receipt of social welfare payments and if DCC is in a position to avail of the section to have rent and arrears collected directly as described. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 contains a section (Part 5Miscellaneous-53) that Social Housing Rents due to Local Authorities could be deducted directly from Social Welfare Payments. It details what powers the Local Authorities would have to authorise this and also to collect rent arrears in the same manner- however to date Section 53 of this Act has not been commenced. There are currently 13,584 Principal Earner/Tenants in receipt of Social Welfare payments  The minimum weekly rent charge based on the Social Welfare payment of €203.00 is €25.65  There are 1,188 tenants on the minimum rent charge  There are no tenants on the maximum rent charge of €423-relates to dwelling size  The weekly average rent charge is €69.41 in a Dublin City Council tenancy  The current highest Dublin City Council weekly rent charge is €265.87 Q.66 COUNCILLOR NIAL RING To ask the Chief Executive to detail the background to the decision by Dublin City Council to provide an ambulance at Swords Fire Station and to confirm whether, or not, Dublin City Council receives contribution from either the HSE or Fingal Council towards the cost of this service. Also, to detail the cost of the service. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Swords Ambulance was introduced in late January 2007, when Swords Fire Station opened on a full time basis. The City Council made a decision to locate an additional emergency ambulance there on the basis of the higher number of calls being attended to in the Swords area. Dublin City Council has sought a contribution from the HSE towards the running costs of this ambulance. However, the funding of this ambulance is currently linked to the ongoing ambulance review. Until, such time as the review is completed the four Dublin Local Authorities will continue to support the provision of the Swords Ambulance, which costs €1.25m approx. per annum. Q.67 COUNCILLOR LARRY O’TOOLE To ask the Chief Executive to respond to this matter: to replace windows and doors at (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There has been an inspection of these windows and all were deemed to be in good working order. Some small repairs were suggested following this inspection and these repairs have already been carried out. Q.68 COUNCILLOR JOE COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive to state the number of derelict or vacant properties in the Central Area that have been CPO’d in each of the last five years; the annual cost of purchasing these properties; and the number that are at various stages of being CPO’d at present. Page 108 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Derelict Sites Act 1990 The following eight vacant derelict sites located in the Central Area were acquired compulsorily under the Derelict Sites Act, 1990 in the last five years. Compensation is payable under the Derelict Sites Act, 1990. Any person who immediately before the making of the vesting order, had any estate or interest in or right in respect of the land acquired may apply for compensation in respect of the estate, interest or right. No compensation has been paid to date but there are a number of claims pending. Derelict - Site Derelict Sites Act, 1990 6 Nelson Street, D7 21 Rutland Street Lower, D7 48 Manor Place, Stoneybatter, D7 19 Connaught Street, D7 21 Connaught Street, D7 414 North Circular Road, D7 8 Ferguson Road, D9 10 Ferguson Road, D9 Date vested in City Council 1/03/2017 12/10/2017 2/07/2018 Valuation 19/08/2019 19/08/2019 19/08/2019 14/01/2019 14/01/2019 €350,000 €350,000 €160,000 €120,000 €100,000 €270,000 €100,000 €240,000 Housing Act 1966 The Ryder’s Row / Parnell Street / Capel Street Area Compulsory Purchase (Residential/Commercial Development), Order 2019 was confirmed without modification on 17th September, 2019 and became operative on 25th October, 2019. The likely costs of the CPO will become known in due course after the serving of Notices to treat which require affected parties to submit details of their compensation claim. Q.69 COUNCILLOR JOE COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive to state the number of compensation claims against the City Council in each of the last three years; to state a breakdown of the main categories; the amount paid out in each year; and steps taken to avoid claims in the future. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Law Department is gathering the information and will issue a detailed response to the Councillor before the January Council meeting. Q.70 COUNCILLOR JOE COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive if he will put in place a scheme of lettings for (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: We will report in due course on the issue to the Central Area Committee in the first instance. Q.71 COUNCILLOR JOE COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive to draw up a plan for Dublin City Council to implement the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which Ireland has recently ratified Page 109 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin City Council’s Corporate Plan 2015-2019 sets out the Housing Department’s objectives in relation to supporting independent living for all sectors of society. These objectives include: • Implementing the National Disability Strategy; A Disability Steering Group was established following the launch of the City Council Strategic Plan for Housing People with a Disability. The Group is a multi-agency operations group which drives the planning, design and allocation of accommodation of people with disability. A commitment to allocate a minim of 5% of DCC’s allocations to people with a disability was agreed. • Increase the supply of adapted and extended units for persons with disabilities • Continue to grant aid residents in private homes in carrying out necessary works to accommodate people with disabilities In addition, a percentage of all new Council developments will be developed using a Universal Design approach and will be targeted at those applicants with specific requirements. Dublin City Council has developed a framework for the implementation of the UNCRPD across all departments and has included a commitment to this implementation in its draft corporate plan. Q.72 COUNCILLOR PATRICK COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive to set out in tabular from the duration for accessing emergency accommodation for families accommodated at the end of November and the same information for those families in ‘own door’ accommodation. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The table below details the most recent data showing the duration spent in emergency accommodation by all families in emergency accommodation on October 31st 2019. Table 1. Duration in EA 24+ months 18-24months 12-18 months 6-12 months 6 months or less Total Total Families Total Adults 187 133 185 269 466 1,240 272 193 265 392 678 1,800 Number Dependents 432 336 450 614 891 2,723 There were approximately 212 families residing in ‘Own Door’ accommodation across the Dublin region in September 2019. Information to determine the length of stay of every family residing in ‘Own Door’ accommodation is not readily available. The DRHE is currently finalising the homelessness statistics for November 2019 and will forward this data as soon as it is available. Q.73 COUNCILLOR JAMES GEOGHEGAN To ask the Chief Executive that the second area to be assessed for a Neighbourhood Transport Scheme, after Eblana/Island villas which is taking place in November 2019, be Marlborough Road/Belmont Avenue on account of the continued and ongoing threat Page 110 Appendix A of a serious accident occurring on Belmont Avenue which has a busy national school located on its road. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Belmont Avenue and Marlborough Road areas are currently being assessed by the Neighbourhood Transport Engineer. Once all the areas for consideration in this scheme have been assessed, Councillors in the South East and South Central Area will be notified of the order the areas have been ranked. Areas which are ranked at the top of the list will be deemed to be in most need of intervention and will be put forward to Phase 3 which will involve the development of a Neighbourhood Transport Scheme. Q.74 COUNCILLOR JAMES GEOGHEGAN To ask the Chief Executive to confirm the total sunken costs already incurred on the Redevelopment of O’Devaney Gardens which was to be offset by a €7 million payment from Bartra as set out in Report No. 337/2019 of the Assistant Chief Executive; if he can confirm further to the ‘addendum report O’Devaney gardens’ circulated via email to all councillors from the Assistant Chief Executive on the 4th of November 2019 which contained an amendment to Report No. 337/2019 which removed this explanation of how the €7 million would be used under the heading ‘What we are getting from the Development’ and purported to add a new section under ‘General’ which states that a minimum of 3 million euro of the 7 million paid by the developer will be ring-fenced for investment on Infirmary Road, why the €7 million payment will no longer be used to offset sunken costs; if he can confirm if the sunken costs are still €7 million, from what revenue stream shall the remaining sunken costs be funded from. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The unfunded balance in the O’Devaney Gardens cost centre is in the region of €3 Million but may increase slightly before completion of the project. Initially it was intended to use the balance to clear other unfunded balances on Regeneration Projects elsewhere in the city. To assist the project it is now agreed that €3M will be ring-fenced towards the cost of community and cultural infrastructure on the nearby Infirmary Road site. Q.75 COUNCILLOR JAMES GEOGHEGAN To ask the Chief Executive further to question 85 of the 4th of November 2019 if he could set out what criteria are applied in considering whether roads are included in the 2020 Annual Resurfacing Programme and if as part of this consideration process, due regard could be had to the significant length of time in which Ashfield Road, Ashfield Avenue and Mornington Road in Ranelagh have remained in a state of disrepair as a result of the construction trucks driving on the road to build the nearby Devlin hotel and where local residents had been promised that the sizeable developmental levy contributions from that hotel would assist in ensuring these roads would be resurfaced following the completion of that construction. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The final decision on schemes to be included in the Annual Resurfacing Programme will be made on the basis of available funding and competing priorities. Competing priorities include the strategic importance of the road and its condition in relation to other roads. The 2020 Annual Resurfacing Programme will be presented to the Elected Members for approval in January 2020. Page 111 Appendix A Roads not included on the Annual Resurfacing Programme will be scheduled for repair works as required. Q.76 COUNCILLOR JAMES GEOGHEGAN To ask the Chief Executive further to the reply given to question 68 on the 4th of November 2019 if he could ensure that the Bus Connects Team will specifically look at the impacts for Richmond Hill, Mt Pleasant Avenue Upper and Lower, Gullistan Cottages, Gullistan Terrace, Belgrave Avenue, Belgrave Square East, Castlewood Avenue, Charleston Avenue and Oakley Road; if the Bus Connects Team will look at obtaining additional capital funding from the NTA for improving the footpaths on those specified roads and possible introduction of segregated cycle lanes in some of those roads to ensure alternatives to car use are available for those roads likely to be effected by increased traffic congestion as a result of BusConnects changes on Rathmines Road. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: As part of the Bus Connects design process for the bus corridors and provision of segregated cycle tracks, the NTA will be required to producing an Environmental Impact Assessment report, which will include a chapter on the transport including transport modelling work to show the impacts of the proposed changes. Dublin City Council transportation Department in conjunction with the NTA will be agreeing methods of how to take advantage of the infrastructure improvements for pedestrian’s, cyclists and public transport users, while at the same time seeking to mitigate any negative transport impacts that these changes may make. This work will look at each corridor and the likely requirements for any further traffic management arrangements and improvement of walking and cycling facilities around these corridors, to provide sustainable alternatives. Q.77 COUNCILLOR MICHAEL WATTERS To ask the Chief Executive if it is possible to remove the hedges from around the green located in the vicinity of (details supplied) Cashel Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Parks had planned on removing these hedges some years ago but met with resistance from residents such that we had to abandon the plans. We can look at introducing gaps in the hedge to promote sight lines if there is local support for this. Q.78 COUNCILLOR MICHAEL WATTERS To ask the Chief Executive to investigate the possibility of installing a right turn fliter light in Crumlin Village, Dublin 12; when turning right from St. Agnes Road onto Windmill Road. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The traffic signals at this junction were switched on and connected to our SCATS Adaptive Traffic Management System on 27/09/18 and are subject to ongoing monitoring by the Intelligent Transportation Systems Section. Please note that CCTV was recently installed at this junction in order to better facilitate traffic monitoring. Following this, we have implemented, via our SCATS Adaptive Traffic Management System, an ‘Early Cut off Green’ to the signal group controlling traffic entering the junction from Crumlin Village. In practice, this means that when the main road traffic phase is running, the vehicles entering the junction from St Agnes Road will have a green light for a longer period than those entering the junction from the opposite side, thereby facilitating the road users seeking an acceptable gap in traffic to turn right from St. Agnes Road to Windmill Road. We have monitored this measure over a number of Page 112 Appendix A mornings and deem it sufficient to address the issues you have raised. Nonetheless, we will continue to monitor the operation of the traffic signals via our SCATS and CCTV network and make any further changes necessary as issues arise. Q.79 COUNCILLOR MICHAEL WATTERS To ask the Chief Executive if it is possible to paint the public poles throughout Bulfin Estate, Dublin 8, (which include Connolly Avenue, Amber Road & Southern Cross Avenue). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The poles on Connolly Avenue and Southern Cross Avenue are ESB poles and the painting of these poles is a matter for ESB Networks. There is no Amber Road. Q.80 COUNCILLOR MICHAEL WATTERS To ask the Chief Executive to review the junction of South Circular Road and Brookfield Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8 in order to make it safer for pedestrians, cyclists and all road users. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Work is already in progress to review this junction and to change the layout as required. Q.81 COUNCILLOR DANNY BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive to place pedestrian traffic lights at the junction of Lorca O’Toole Park and Kimmage road west. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The request for a pedestrian crossing at the above location is currently listed on the Transport Advisory Group agenda for examination and report by the Area Traffic Engineer under Enquiry No: 7009070. The Councillor will receive the final recommendation of the Transport Advisory Group in due course. Q.82 COUNCILLOR DANNY BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive to provide a written copy of The D.C.C. Policy on rent arrears. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: A copy of the Dublin City Council Policy on Rent Arrears issued to the Councillor on 22nd November 2019. Q.83 COUNCILLOR LAWRENCE HEMMINGS To ask the Chief Executive which waste stream fallen leaves are disposed of by the City Council and whether biodegradable bags are used when disposing of the leaves. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Council in all instances for the collection of street litter or leaves uses biodegradable bags. The City Council both supports and encourages the valuable active participation by residents and local community groups in the collection of leaves however the vast majority of leaves collected by the Council are not collected in bags by residents but rather swept from the street by road sweepers designed for that purpose. Page 113 Appendix A In respect of this Waste Management Department has recently commenced a pilot project to assess the viability of composting leaf fall material collected. As such the current final destination for leaves is split between being transferred for composting and also for use as landfill cover material. Additionally the department is currently trying to source a compostable bag suitable for use in the collection of organic materials such as leaves in the hope that this will ultimately allow for all leaf fall material collected through street cleaning and local activities to be used for the purposes of compost production. The City Council is also engaged in supporting community composting initiatives in local areas by removing leaves collected by residents to local composting locations. The presence of such local initiatives is additionally environmentally beneficial as it reduces the requirement for significant transportation and processing of the material. In general Parks collect leaves in trailers and dispose of them through composting. Q.84 COUNCILLOR LAWRENCE HEMMINGS To ask the Chief Executive what the average response times are for concluding rental and planning enforcement complaints. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Under Dublin City Council’s Customer Complaints Procedure a timeframe of up to 21 days is given to reply to a letter of complaint however the majority of complaints received by the HAP Section are responded to within one week of the complaint being received. The statutory timeframes outlined for dealing with Planning Enforcement cases is set out under Part VIII of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). A Warning Letter shall issue within six weeks of receipt of a valid complaint. An Enforcement Notice if required must be served within 12 weeks of the date of issue of the Warning Letter. Legal proceedings must be initiated within 6 months of the date it comes to the attention of the Planning Authority that an Enforcement Notice has not been complied with. Dublin City Council Planning Enforcement Section in the vast majority of cases issues a Warning Letter within 3 weeks and Enforcement Notices if required within 10 weeks from the date of the issue of the Warning Letter. In all cases where legal proceedings are required they are initiated within a month from the date it comes to the attention of the relevant Planning Enforcement Officer that the Enforcement Notice has not been complied with. Q.85 COUNCILLOR LAWRENCE HEMMINGS To ask the Chief Executive if Dublin City Council has previously asked the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government to conduct an independent review of the public housing deliver process, and if not to request an independent review of this process to identify opportunities for accelerating the delivery of Local Authority housing. Page 114 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government have put considerable focus on ways to accelerate the delivery process in recent years including reducing the Approval procedures to only four stages. They have established a specific delivery unit in the department whose role is to accelerate housing programmes and to assist Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies in doing so. Q.86 COUNCILLOR GARY GANNON To ask the Chief Executive to provide an estimate of what the expected costs of rent will be under the Cost Rental scheme that is proposed for the site of St Michaels Estate. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: At this early stage of the St. Michael’s Estate regeneration project, it is not possible to estimate accurately what the likely rental levels will be on the proposed Cost Rental Units because will ultimately be based on final construction costs. However, €1,300 per month appears to be the figure arising from costing analysis carried out so far. Q.87 COUNCILLOR GARY GANNON To ask the Chief Executive if Dublin City Council would consider installing electric car charging points at a number of taxi ranks around the city. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: A trial installation of 4 charging points by Dublin City Council is currently underway at Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. These charging points are expected to be commissioned by the ESB in December. When operational, usage will be monitored over a 6 month trial period and then reviewed. This review and lessons learned will inform Dublin City Council future policy on provision of EV charging by the Council. The suitability of Taxi Ranks and other transportation hubs as locations for EV chargers will be considered as part of this review. Q.88 COUNCILLOR GARY GANNON To ask the Chief Executive to consult with Glasnevin cemetery with regard to reilluminating the council installed lights of the round towers that face-out on the Finglas Road. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The lights in question are not Dublin City Council lights and were installed by a Contractor originally. DCC organised the contractor at the time to assist the Cemetery people. DCC will consult with the cemetery with a view to passing on the contractor details so that they can organise for any necessary maintenance now and in the future. Q.89 COUNCILLOR KEVIN DONOGHUE To ask the Chief Executive to paint the white line at the centre of Ringsend bridge and erect signage to prevent overtaking. The road has become increasingly busy over the years and motorists are dangerously overtaking cyclists. It is an accident waiting to happen. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The road markings will be renewed within 7 workings days of the council meeting of the 2nd December 2019. (Weather Permitting). Page 115 Appendix A Installing signage in this instance would contravene the Dublin City Council signage policy and also lead to a proliferation of signage throughout the city. It is therefore not recommended. A Solid White Line indicates that overtaking is not permitted. A site survey was carried out on 27/11/2019. The Area Engineer noted that there are some depressions and small pot holes on Ringsend Bridge (outbound and inbound). The Area Engineer wishes to raise these with road maintenance. Q.90 COUNCILLOR KEVIN DONOGHUE To ask the Chief Executive if there could be increased cleaning along City Quay as there is a significant amount of littering in the area. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services have City Quay cleaned on a daily basis. We will certainly monitor the cleaning of this area to see what improvements can be made within this daily cleaning schedule. Q.91 COUNCILLOR KEVIN DONOGHUE To ask the Chief Executive to erect a no loitering sign along the residents beside (details supplied) City Quay as residents have reported a high number of people sitting on the steps to residences and littering. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services have City Quay cleaned on a daily basis. Q.92 COUNCILLOR NAOISE Ó MUIRÍ To ask the Chief Executive in relation to the following: there is a substantial issue with traffic/parking congestion in the neighbourhood of Maryfield College, Drumcondra particularly at school closing time (3.15pm to 4pm). Can the CEO organise for the traffic engineers to formulate measures that might help alleviate the congestion issue - happy to facilitate an introduction to the school as part of the process if required. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Congestion at school gates is an issue in many schools in the city. Often the issue can only be solved by reducing drop off/pick up by car rather than by infrastructural measures. An internal focus group, consisting of personnel from Road Safety, Sustainable Mobility & Projects Infrastructure and Communication & Promotion and the Transport Advisory Group, has been established to explore options in creating safer routes to school. The implementation of future measures is reliant on community buy-in for their success. All options chosen for trial and/or implementation will include a strong engagement strategy to maximise support at local level. Q.93 COUNCILLOR NAOISE Ó MUIRÍ To ask the Chief Executive please deal with the following housing query (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The above applicant is on the Housing List with an application date of 9/4/2013, and the applicant holds the following positions on this list: Area Area H Bedsize 2 Page 116 Position 183 Appendix A Housing Allocations are time based on the list rather than the previous point’s scheme. The applicant’s interest in (details supplied) has been noted on her file, however, based on the applicant’s position it is unlikely she will be reached for an offer presently. Q.94 COUNCILLOR NAOISE Ó MUIRÍ To ask the Chief Executive confirm that a panel of barristers is used for undertaking Dublin City Council litigation work. Can the CEO further outline (a) how many barristers are on this panel (b) what is the duration/lifetime of the panel and (c) how often the panel is reviewed. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Law Department is gathering the information and will issue a detailed response to the Councillor before the January Council meeting. Q.95 COUNCILLOR NAOISE Ó MUIRÍ To ask the Chief Executive to please confirm: (a) if there have been any recent pre-planning discussions with Dublin City Council in relation to the site to the rear of St Anthony’s Church, Clontarf, Dublin 3 (see site marked in red on attached map) (b) If Dublin City Council has been involved in/invited to any pre-planning consultations with An Bord Pleanala under the Strategic Housing Development process in relation to this site. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Planning GIS system indicates that there are no current planning applications relating to the lands to the rear of St. Anthony’s Church in Clontarf. The record of any relevant S.247 pre-application meetings including details of attendees and key issues raised shall be placed on the public planning file should a relevant planning application be submitted in due course. This applies to both standard planning applications and Strategic Housing Development. Q.96 COUNCILLOR CLAIRE BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive how much money is being spent on the Christmas City Lights event this year, what budget the money has come from, and can he provide a full breakdown of the costs such as design, installation, management, energy usage etc. Can he also confirm if all the lights used are LED and whether a carbon assessment and analysis of the event will be carried out?" CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Costs Eventco have a three year contract with Dublin City Council to roll out its Winter Lights programme. 2019 is the 2nd year of this contract. The total cost for this year’s Winter Lights Projections from Eventco are as follows 1. €486,249.75 (Inclusive of Vat) This is broken down as follows • Projections/Lights - €455,377.75 (Inclusive of Vat) • Maintenance of Samuel Beckett Bridge lights - €11,350.00 (Inclusive of Vat) • Install of Millennium Bridge lights - €19,522.00 (Inclusive of Vat) Page 117 Appendix A LEDs The majority of the installations use LED powered lighting. There are three versions of the LED, 300w, 400w and a new 500w which is replacing what last year was 2500w. Custom House power usage last year was 40kw whereas this year with LED we are down to 12kw power usage. We are using a generator here due to lack of access to a grid connection but we did look into trying to source grid connection with DCC for this site in future. Covanta Dublin Waste to Energy is using the higher power 2500w lamps due to the scale of the building but we are using the plants own grid for this. Civic Offices is completely LED using a total of 3kw (equivalent of about two dishwashers). Trinity College - DCC are using the same power as the existing facade lighting so neutral additional energy consumption. City Hall is completely LED using a total of 3kw (equivalent of about two dishwashers). The Samuel Beckett Bridge is completely LED using a total of 2kw (equivalent of vacuum cleaner). The GPO is run on generator due to lack of grid connection in the area, the contractor is working with the developer of Clerys to access future power. The Hugh Lane Gallery is completely LED using a total of 2kw (equivalent of vacuum cleaner). Reduction of 50% on 2018 The Mansion House is completely LED using a total of 2kw (equivalent of vacuum cleaner), reduction of 80% on 2018 The Smithfield Plaza install is using less power than the current lights we are replacing on the sails that are normally used. All tree lighting is LED. All materials used for hoarding, ballast, print are all recycled from 2018 and kept for future use. DCC purposely did not print dates on print materials to allow them to be used year after year. Carbon Assessment The Events Unit is currently liaising with CODEMA to determine the procedures for carrying out a carbon assessment on its Winter Lights programme. Q.97 COUNCILLOR CLAIRE BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive to introduce measures to address the on-going issue of vehicles parking in the bus lanes on Dame Street during peak hours, and can he liaise with the Gardai to improve enforcement. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin Street Parking Services have been asked to monitor and enforce illegal parking of vehicles on Dame Street and Lord Edward Street and a number of vehicles have been clamped. An inspector from Parking Policy and Enforcement has been in discussions with businesses and delivery vehicle drivers about making deliveries at times other than at high peak hours on both Lord Edward Street and Dame Street. Businesses have been encouraged to change times of deliveries to off peak times and Page 118 Appendix A to have delivery Vehicles Park in locations other than bus lanes. The constant pressure on businesses to have early morning deliveries means that persistent enforcement is required to discourage parking at peak hours. The Parking Policy and Enforcement Inspector is targeting Dame Street in order to reduce parking on bus lanes, especially at peak hours. Q.98 COUNCILLOR CLAIRE BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the Council owned land beside Scully’s Field between Farmer Browns and Clonskeagh Bridge, can he confirm whether there are plans to develop this site, and if so can he provide details on such plans. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The council owned land is currently used as a pay and display carpark. This site apart from the public house is zoned Z9 (recreational and open space purposes) in the current City Development Plan. As such there are no plans for a comprehensive redevelopment of the site. There are proposals being considered to relocate the recycling centre at Rathmines Depot to part of the site for a temporary period of time pending its relocation to a permanent site. Q.99 COUNCILLOR CLAIRE BYRNE To ask the Chief Executive to outline why the Dublin Bike Stands have been removed from Fade Street, Frederick Street South and Clarendon Street, and can he confirm when and how they will be reinstated. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Just Eat Dublin bikes station at Frederick Street South was reduced in capacity to facilitate redevelopment works at 10 Molesworth Street (former Passport Office). The station is now being reinstalled to its full original capacity and will reopen during December. The station at Clarendon Row was removed to facilitate demolition and redevelopment works at Chatham Court (former residential and retail development). It is expected that this station will reopen in summer 2020. No Just Eat Dublin bikes station existed at Fade Street. No station has been removed from Fade Street. Q.100 COUNCILLOR PATRICK COSTELLO To ask the Chief Executive to give details of all derelict sites levies received in 2018 and so far in 2019 giving in each case:  address of site;  value of site;  levies received;  charges on land;  length of time on the register;  County of residence of owner; And can he make a statement on the matter. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Outlined below is a list of derelict sites with information as requested. In accordance with Section 24 (1) of the Derelict Sites Act, 1990 where a derelict sites levy for a local financial year, or any portion of it, is due and owing, the amount of levy and the interest Page 119 Appendix A due and payable thereon shall, on the date on which it becomes so due and payable, become and shall remain until payment thereof, a charge on the relevant urban land.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: This laneway is not in charge to Dublin City Council. Q.102 COUNCILLOR COLM O’ROURKE To ask the Chief Executive if Dublin City Council will be involved with any campaign, particularly in the run-up to Christmas, regarding the scourge of scramblers and quad bikes on communities. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Central Area are not involved with any campaign locally against scramblers and quad bikes. There have been problems with quad bikes in the vicinity of the Cabbage Patch, Dublin 8 in the past and An Garda Síochána have curbed this problem somewhat by restricting access to the Cabbage Patch which has improved the situation. As part of a Christmas campaign, similar to last year, Finglas Safety Forum, in conjunction with the Community Policing Team, will be circulating the attached poster across local organisations, schools and shops in the Finglas area to highlight the dangers associated with the misuse of quad bikes/scramblers to the local community. The poster will also be uploaded via Finglas Safety Forum social media platforms with the aim of engaging a wider number of residents and organisations both locally and surrounding localities. Page 121 Appendix A In addition, Finglas Safety Forum has, in conjunction with the Community Policing Team liaised with Circle K Headquarters in respect to this matter. Circle K have assured that they adopt similar protocol to that of Tesco’s Clearwater, for example, in that they reserve the right to refuse the sale of fuel to persons under the age of 16, to unregistered vehicles and duty-bound to request photograph identification in the first instance to ensure fuel is not supplied/sold to persons under the age of 16. This also includes persons under the age of 16 whom present with dispenser containers. I have requested signage to be displayed in their stores to reflect the above and to clearly inform customers of their protocol. I have met with two respective managers at Circle K branches locally whom advised they welcome this and would put forward similar request also to Circle K Headquarters. The Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe is convening a Lord Mayor’s Working Group to tackle the use of illegal scrambler bikes. The Assistant Garda Commissioner has committed his support to this Group and it will examine the legislative framework surrounding the use of scrambler bikes. Q.103 COUNCILLOR VINCENT JACKSON To ask the Chief Executive that Dublin City Council seek from Business people the proposal to re-zone lands at Kylemore Road, Chapelizod from industrial to housing, I am aware of a very successful business which employs over 100 people located at this location this re-zoning was instrumental in a previous life of the business leaving Fairview in 2005 & re-locating to Kylemore Road, they provide essential engineering parts for many state & semi state businesses such as the Irish Navy, Aer Corp etc. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Chief Executive is placing the 20 sites proposed for variation in the CE Report to the November Council Meeting on public display for 4 weeks, during which time anyone with a concern regarding the change of zoning objective will be welcome to make a submission, both owners of lands proposed, adjoining owners/occupiers and the general public. As part of the variation process all submissions received will be summarised and a report presented to the Elected Members for their consideration of the issues raised. Submissions in relation to the concerns raised in the question should be made during the consultation process in order to be taken into consideration. The CE Report and recommendations on the public consultation process will bring such issues raised to the attention of the Members; which will inform their final decision on each variation. Q.104 COUNCILLOR VINCENT JACKSON To ask the Chief Executive that Dublin City Council look upon doing small neighbour plans to help with the re-vitalisation of local neighbourhood centres like Ballyfermot, developing neighbourhood plans will ensure the proper retail mix and retention of services before we get to the only shopping districts been Shopping Malls like Liffey Valley, Blanchardstown etc. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Provision for local neighbourhood style plans is made in the City Development Plan, Section 2.2.8.1 Area-Specific Plans. This identifies the need for strategic area based Local Area Plans, in addition to proposals for Local Environmental Improvement Plans or Village Improvement Plans; with the focus of the latter on public realm enhancements, permeability, identifying sites for improvements etc. The Development Plan contains a list of 31 areas/villages, with the objective of preparing up to three local plans from this list, for each City Council administrative area, subject to resources and Page 122 Appendix A priorities. Since the adoption of the City Development Plan the City Council has commissioned a Public Realm Improvement’s Plan for Dolphin’s Barn (2018 by Haslam & Co. Architects), an Environmental Improvement Scheme has been prepared for Crumlin Village (2017 led by the Environmental and Transportation Dept.); and work is currently underway and on-going on plans for Bluebell, St. Teresa’s Gardens and environs and for Inchicore/ St. Michael’s/ Kilmainham. It should be noted that these plans are non-statutory in nature and cannot provide policy regarding retail mix. Ensuring appropriate retail mix is considered and provided for within the City Development Plan, Chapter 7: retailing and Chapter 16: Development Standards: design, Layout, Mix of Uses and Sustainable Design. The preparation of the next City Development Plan will commence in mid-2020, and this will afford an opportunity to consider policies to regenerate our urban villages. Q.105 COUNCILLOR VINCENT JACKSON To ask the Chief Executive that Dublin City Council look UPON THE ROLE OF Community Development officer staff as essential in the delivery of effective services and ensure the very poor staffing levels in the Ballyfermot / Drimnagh are brought back to reasonable levels, these staff members are very cost effective as they engage with many volunteers to provide year round services on the ground. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There is a strong DCC Area Team in place for the Ballyfermot/Drimnagh Local Electoral Area (mostly based in Ballyfermot). I will ask the Director of Services for South City (Mary Taylor) to examine your observations on the staffing issues and she will report back to you. The table below sets out the current Community Development staffing levels across the south city. It is hoped that these will be enhanced in the New Year.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Below is a comprehensive list of fines issued in the South Central Area over the past five years as per records held in this office. Records of fines issued are kept by Area only and not by Ward. In accordance with GDPR, details of all fines have been anonymized Page 123 Appendix A Year Fines issued Fines Paid 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 328 302 317 191 141 117 122 130 79 53 Fines cancelled per Appeal 28 46 49 27 20 Prosecutions Convictions Out of initiated obtained in Court court settlements 123 109 63 34 46 10 22 22 4 8 16 9 8 1 4 Q.107 COUNCILLOR JANET HORNER To ask the Chief Executive the percentage and how many of those accessing services of DHRE are coming immediately from the private rental sector? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: When families in the Dublin Region are at risk of homelessness or newly experiencing homelessness they present to the housing section of their local authority. Upon their first presentation families fill out an initial assessment form for placement and support purposes. Families are asked to detail the reason or reasons for their current experience of homelessness and provide details of their accommodation history. Table 1 below outlines the reasons for family homelessness across the Dublin region for June to September 2019.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The main project of the Heuston to Chapelizod scheme is on hold. As such no funding has been allocated from the NTA for 2019 for the main scheme. Based on similar schemes a budget commitment in the region of 1.5 m to 2 m euro would be required to appoint a consultant for the complete design of the scheme. It would be too early to give an indicative construction cost estimate at this stage because the project scope has yet to be finalised. Q.109 COUNCILLOR JANET HORNER To ask the Chief Executive if they have approached the NTA to provide funding for pedestrian crossings at Mountjoy Square? Page 124 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Pedestrian crossings for Mountjoy Square are shown at present on the designs for the bus corridors on Gardiner Street. We will be discussing with the NTA if it’s possible for these crossings to be installed in advance of the bus corridor. Q.110 COUNCILLOR JANET HORNER To ask the Chief Executive what re-use scheme is in place for abandoned bicycles in the city and whether they would consider making them available for use by NGOs and social enterprises in the city? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Abandoned bikes are currently recycled through a Dublin City bike shop. The shop has agreed to take abandoned bikes, whatever their condition, and in exchange for the bikes, the shop makes a small charitable donation depending on the condition of bike being supplied. If other parties are interested in recycling the abandoned bicycles they can contact Dublin City Council to discuss our requirements. Q.111 COUNCILLOR SOPHIE NICOULLAUD To ask the Chief Executive if any investigation have been done recently on commercial illegal dumping happening beside Labre Park. Also to ask the Chief Executive why the money to clean up this commercial illegal dumping is taken out the maintenance budget for Labre Park. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There was a joint investigation carried out between Waste Enforcement and the Traveller Accommodation Unit in 2019 in relation to illegal Waste activity beside Labre Park. As a result, 19 Enforcement Actions (investigation of complaints) have been logged for Labre Park and from those 19 there were 10 warnings letters issued. The Waste Enforcement Unit are currently liaising with the Traveller Accommodation Unit, who are involved with the re-development of Labre Park with regard to further investigations to be carried out in the future.

The Waste Enforcement Unit are currently liaising with the Traveller Accommodation Unit, who are involved with the re-development of Labre Park with regard to further investigations to be carried out in the future. The Traveller Accommodation Unit Maintenance budget includes a portion for the removal of waste in Traveller Specific Accommodation. However, the dumping level of commercial and household dumping on specific sites has increased to the extent that there is now a serious impact on Maintenance budget for all Traveller Specific sites. Q.112 COUNCILLOR SOPHIE NICOULLAUD To ask the Chief Executive for a time bracket for the beginning of work on Labre Park. I understand it is difficult to give a definite date but a bracket of time is a reasonable ask. Page 125 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin City Council is unable to provide the information requested at this time. Dublin City Council will be better able to respond once the Part VIII application is completed and submitted. Q.113 COUNCILLOR SOPHIE NICOULLAUD To ask the Chief Executive the starting date for the new social worker for Labre Park to start in his/her position? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The HR Department ran a recruitment campaign to fill vacancies at the level of Social Worker earlier in the year. A panel was formed and a number of candidates have recently commenced work with the Council. New employees undertake induction and training in the role before being assigned an area within the remit Council. Labre Park forms part of the broader area of the city wide Social Work service provided to Travellers and is being filled in accordance with the above. Q.114 COUNCILLOR SOPHIE NICOULLAUD To ask the Chief Executive to pressure the appropriate departments to release funding for local Task Forces. Local Task Forces are a huge solution to secure safety at the very local areas within the city. Task Forces are beyond worried and need full support to protect the most vulnerable in each local area. Also ask the Chief Executive to keep me updated on the actions taken from his office to address the issue. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The only Government sponsored Task Force in the City is in the North East Inner City on which Dublin City Council has a strong involvement. If there is a particular area that the Councillor is referring to, then we would be happy to discuss it as it can be raised at the local Joint Policing Committee. Q.115 COUNCILLOR CIERAN PERRY To ask the Chief Executive In relation to the disposal of the O’Devaney lands can the Chief Executive provide answers to the following questions? a) What are the costs of the demolition works and subsidiary works carried out to date on the lands? b) What is the cost of the infrastructural works to be financed through the Governments Infrastructural Fund for the project? c) What is the value of the exempted Development Levies for the project? d) What discussions took place with the Minister for Housing, or any other Government department, in relation to the financing of the option to purchase an extra 30% of the private units by an Approved Housing Body? If such discussions took place can the Chief Executive confirm attendance at the meeting and provide minutes? e) What discussions took place with any Approved Housing Bodies regarding the option to purchase an extra 30% of the private units? f) Can the Chief Executive detail the agreed program of works for the project, including the sequencing of those works and timelines? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: a) The current outstanding debit balance on the O’Devaney Gardens Project is €3 Million. This figure includes costs associated with the development of the site, decanting costs, costs of demolition of existing structures, site preparation, site Page 126 Appendix A b) c) d) e) security (erection and maintenance of fences, rock armour, etc.), site investigation and specialist consultant reports, soil, drainage, environmental, etc. This figure may increase slightly before the end of the Project. The Serviced Site Fund is set to a maximum of €50K per unit and applies to the 20% affordable purchase units only (Total € 8.25 Million). As the legislation currently stands, this grant is a discount on the market price and accrues to the affordable purchaser as a charge on the property The development levies are paid by the developer then discounted from the market price charged to the affordable purchaser as part of the Affordable Purchase Scheme. The development levy discount which accrues to the purchaser is averaged at approx. €10,000 per unit. No discussions took place with any Approved Housing Bodies before the Council meeting except for a conversation with Cluid who said they would be interested. It is intended to seek formal Expressions of Interest from Approved Housing Bodies shortly regarding the option to purchase an extra 30% of the private units. On the signing of the development agreement the Economic Operator will have six months during which to apply for planning, the planning process will take a minimum of 4 months and can, depending on due process, take much longer. It is therefore not possible to give more details on the timeframes, the programme of works or the phasing, until closer to the granting of Planning Permission. Q.116 COUNCILLOR CIERAN PERRY To ask the Chief Executive to provide statistics on the various income rates among council tenants, including those dependent on social welfare?

The weekly rent charge is determined in accordance with the 2019 Dublin City Council Differential Rent Scheme. Rent Charge is directly related to household income. Rent charged on dwellings will vary according to the total household income and the number of occupants. Rent is calculated as 15% of the principal earner’s income (the person who has the highest income) which exceeds €32 for a single person or €64 for a couple. Tenants are obliged to inform the Housing Department of any changes in household income or household size as set out under the terms of their Tenancy Agreement. When tenants fail to notify the Council and reviews are carried out this can lead to assumed incomes and large retrospective debits being applied.     The minimum weekly rent charge based on the Social Welfare payment of €203.00 is €25.65 There are 1,188 tenants on the minimum rent charge The weekly average rent charge is €69.41 in a Dublin City Council tenancy The current highest DCC weekly rent charge is €265.87 Page 127 Appendix A Q.117 COUNCILLOR CIERAN PERRY To ask the Chief Executive provide the cost of Halloween events in the five administrative areas, broken down by ward?

Page 134 Appendix A Q.128 COUNCILLOR NEASA HOURIGAN To ask the Chief Executive what stage the review of tree coverage in the city is at and when the information will be made available. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: The Dublin Tree Canopy Study 2017, commissioned by Dublin City Council and carried out by the UCD School of Geography, estimated a tree canopy coverage of 10.2% across the city and 4.5% canopy cover with the canals. The median canopy cover value for European cities is 15.25%, which places Dublin City close to the average. This study is available on the DCC website or by following the link below: http://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/content/RecreationandCulture/DublinCityPa rks/NewsEvents/Documents/Dublin%20Tree%20Canopy%20Study%20FinalReport% 202017.pdf Q.129 COUNCILLOR ALISON GILLILAND To ask the Chief Executive to make arrangements for the immediate clearing of the overgrowth and debris built up at the end of the cul de sac beside (details supplied). Previous requests dating back 5 months have not led to the removal of this material. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services had the debris cleared up from the above mentioned location on the 25th November 2019. Q.130 COUNCILLOR DONNA COONEY To ask the Chief Executive that in light of the refusal by Hammerson to facilitate access to 1916 buildings in their ownership on Moore Street for assessment will the on Street Survey reports undertaken on behalf of the City Council by Kelly and Conan Conservation Architects be made available for the consideration the councillor of and the members of the Lord Mayor’s forum on Moore street. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: In November 2015, the Planning and Property Development Department undertook an Invitation to Tender for the assessment of those structures for proposed addition to the RPS. Following the tender process, Kelly & Cogan Architects were appointed to undertake the assessment and commenced their research and external survey work. An application was made to the owners for access to the sites and details of the successful tenderer were provided. Their solicitors objected to the appointment of Kelly & Cogan Architects as they asserted that this firm advised and completed affidavits in High Court proceedings relating to the sites. The Law Agent advised that in these circumstances they should not be appointed by the Council to do the assessment of the structures. In conclusion, the document received from Kelly & Cogan is only a Draft Report dated 31 August 2016. It is incomplete, as the consultants were not allowed inspect any of the structures internally nor inspect within the site boundaries. The assessments and recommendations of the Draft Report can be considered to be preliminary only, pending further research, examination, internal inspection and explanation. No final report has been submitted. If the Councillor wishes to view the contents of the incomplete report, this can be arranged by contacting Maire Igoe at maire.igoe@dublincity.ie. Page 135 Appendix A Q.131 COUNCILLOR DONNA COONEY To ask the Chief Executive could a space be allocated in St. Anne’s Park for an exhibition on the history of our flagship St. Anne’s Park? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There is currently a display of the history of the assembling of the various landholdings that made up the demesne, under the arched entrance to the Red Stables Building and a model of the former Guinness family residence, St. Anne’s House. The historic tiles that were lifted and conserved from one of the follies in the park have been mounted and will be on permanent display with interpretation in the newly restored Winter Garden. A permanent exhibition/interpretation of the history of the lands, which constitute St. Anne’s Park and which were assembled by the Guinness family, will be considered in the redevelopment of the Red Stables. Spaces are available within the Red Stables buildings for temporary and travelling exhibitions. Q.132 COUNCILLOR HAZEL CHU To ask the Chief Executive what provisions are in place for the upcoming Christmas period? Could there be extra provisions for cycle parking during this busy period and more importantly if temporary toilet facilities can be introduced during this period with the view of making such facilities more long term? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: There are a number of factors that make the provision of temporary toilet facilities within the city centre difficult. These include the identification of suitable locations that will not impede pedestrian flow or create difficulties for or raise objection from local business. Additionally any such units would have to be located in such a way that they could be serviced and replenished without similarly creating issues for pedestrians, business and traffic in the city. These issues are exacerbated by the additional footfall experienced in city during the Christmas period. The City Council is currently examining the viability of provision of public toilet facilities for the city centre. There is an on-going programme for the installation of cycle parking. We currently have a contractor engaged to install both Batch 11 and 12 totalling over 400 stands that will be installed between now and the end of the year. Q.133 COUNCILLOR HAZEL CHU To ask the Chief Executive the schedule of leaf clearing around the city especially in the following prone to flooding areas: Haddington Road, along the Grand Canal Cycle Route? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services are currently operating a leaves removal programme throughout the city and this will continue until all the leaves have fallen. Priority is given to tree-lined streets with heavy pedestrian use and areas particularly prone to flooding. As leaves removal is labour intensive and time consuming, it takes time to get around to all parts of the city. As many staff as possible are dedicated to this task, including our public domain staff in the afternoons and weekends. Also some resident groups get bags and equipment from us to enable them to help clear the leaves from their areas. We will ensure that Haddington Road and along the Grand Canal cycle route are included as often as possible during the course of this programme. Page 136 Appendix A Q.134 COUNCILLOR HAZEL CHU To ask the Chief Executive how Dublin City Council is currently engaging with communities in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals and how they will measure and report on progress towards the SDGs? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: As part of the process of creating the draft Dublin City Council Corporate Plan 2020 2024, the goals and priority objectives have been linked to the relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals. Over the course of the Corporate Plan, it is intended to continue to develop ways to frame and measure our work in the context of the SDGs. Linking the goals and priority objectives of this plan to the SDGs is the first step towards this. Dublin City Council engage with stakeholders throughout the city including schools, communities and businesses. Much of the work we do is closely aligned to many of the Sustainable Development Goals. Workshops on “Let’s Talk Climate Action” were held recently to engage with communities to help them to understand climate change, raise awareness of climate change and to encourage them to drive climate action projects in order to set communities on a path towards a low carbon, climate resilient future. Feedback from the workshops show there is a need for further workshops to be delivered locally on specific actions to empower and inform communities and drive and support local action. Targets and actions under the Dublin City Council Climate Action Plan, which also reflect many of the SDG, are measured and reported on by the City Council. Q.135 COUNCILLOR HAZEL CHU To ask the Chief Executive on the proposed white water rafting centre in the IFSC were locals consulted on amenities they felt were needed? Were alternative uses such as an urban beach/swimming area (similar to ones in Berlin/Copenhagen) that would be free to use ever considered? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: In 2018 a ‘Water Animation Strategy for the Docklands Area’ required under the ‘North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ Planning Scheme 2014’, was prepared by the City Council in consultation with Waterways Ireland (WI) and Dublin Port Company (DPC). The development of the Strategy included a Public Consultation process. The purpose of the document was to develop a clear DCC/WI/DPC vision regarding the future animation of the waterways in the Docklands area by the three statutory agencies. The Strategy area includes the five major water bodies within the SDZ, namely the Liffey, the Dodder, the Grand Canal Dock, Spencer Dock, and George’s Dock. The Water Animation Strategy seeks to build on the successes of previous plans further promoting the area as a world class destination for living, doing business, tourism, leisure, wellness and cultural activities. The Strategy proposes a spatially led approach to the management of the waterways with activities divided into four distinct zones as follows: Page 137 Appendix A  Docking/Mooring Zones These areas are primarily focused on providing space to ships and other watercraft to reside on a medium to long term basis.  Active Zones These are areas primarily focused on providing quayside campshire space for water sports, cultural uses and regular events.  Passive Zones These are areas primarily focused on providing quieter spaces for sensitive uses and areas of reflection and ecology.  Clear Zones These spaces will generally be kept clear to maintain significant views, for safety reasons or will provide spaces for short-term stays to large vessels. George’s Dock was designated as an Active Use Zone under the Strategy. While no specific consultation took place with the local community in relation to amenities they felt were needed in the area, the Docklands Office has been in regular contact with the local residents and businesses in the immediate environs of Georges Dock, i.e. the Custom House Dock estate over the past 18 months in relation to its proposal for Georges Dock. The Docklands Oversight and Consultative Forum (DOCF) which was established on foot of the dissolution of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) in 2016 has also been kept appraised of the plans from a very early stage and the membership fully support the proposal for Georges Dock. The DOCF membership is made up of a cross-section of local stakeholders including community and business representatives, elected members and statutory agencies that are located in the Docklands. The Docklands Office considered a number of options for Georges Dock prior to deciding on the White Water Facility, one such option was to relocate the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship to the Dock, however, this option proved too costly with little to no gain to the local community. Another option was to retain the Events Platform but again this provided little Civic gain given that historically the only events that could afford the set-up costs (due to the open nature of the site) were alcohol related events. Prior to the appointment of the Design Team for the White Water facility consideration was given to including a Public Lido in the White Water proposal (similar to those in Berlin/Copenhagen), however, after further consideration and discussion with the Councils Sports and Leisure Section it was deemed not suitable on Health and Safety grounds due to the need to have high numbers of Lifeguards on duty at all times. Q.136 COUNCILLOR ALISON GILLILAND To ask the Chief Executive to make arrangements for the section of the footpath outside (details supplied) to be raised/levelled to prevent water pooling. This is a regular occurrence and a previous request for same was not followed up. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Road Maintenance Services has identified a repair at this location. This repair is scheduled for completion in the coming 8-10 weeks. Q.137 LORD MAYOR PAUL MC AULIFFE To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for an inspection of (details supplied). Page 138 Appendix A CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: According to our records, numbers (details supplied 1) are not Dublin City Council properties. Inspections of the windows at (details supplied 2) as well as (details supplied 3) have been scheduled to take place within the coming weeks. Q.138 LORD MAYOR PAUL MC AULIFFE To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for an inspection of (details supplied) for illegal dumping. CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Waste Management Services had (details supplied 1) cleaned and all the dumped rubbish removed from there on the 25th November 2019. We will monitor litter levels in this area on a regular basis, paying particular attention to (details supplied 2). Q.139 LORD MAYOR PAUL MC AULIFFE To ask the Chief Executive call for an inspection of (details supplied)? CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: (details supplied) is on a bus route. Speed cushions, rather than ramps have been provided on such roads to facilitate emergency vehicles and safety of bus passengers. The speed cushions are designed under the “Construction Standards for Road and Street Works” and are placed appropriately at specific distances apart to achieve optimum traffic calming. To raise the height of the cushions would contravene with current compliance and standards. Furthermore, (details supplied) will be included in the fourth phase of the 30 Km/h Special Speed Limit Bye-Law introduction. Public consultation on this proposal closed in September 2019. If these bye-laws are adopted it is proposed that works will commence to erect the relevant signage in the new areas in summer 2020. Please note that the City Council will continue to monitor the area after the implementation of the new Speed Limit introduction. In view of this, no further measures are recommended to be implemented at (details supplied) at this time. Q.140 LORD MAYOR PAUL MC AULIFFE To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for a review of (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: Dublin City Council commenced Phase 2 of The Energy Efficiency Fabric Programme in March 2018 in the absence of Departmental funding. Phase Two of the programme entails the following upgrade measures; External Wall Insulation, 300mm Attic, Tanks and Pipes Insulation, Roof and Wall Ventilation, Draught Proofing, Lagging Jackets, Windows and Doors where required and Boiler replacements or Heat Pump installations where required. We estimate that it will cost in the region of €80-€100 Million at current market rates to complete Phase 2 of the programme and a number of years subject to the continuation of both Departmental and Internal Funding. We estimate we have 4,747 houses which would be categorised under Phase 2 of the programme. To date we have upgraded 757 under Phase 2 at a cost of in excess of €13 Million. Funding to date for Phase 2 of the programme from The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government totals €7.9 Million. Consequently, current departmental funding for the programme has been exhausted. We are also in the process of mobilising to tender further works for Page 139 Appendix A the continuation of Phase 2 which we hope to conclude in Q1 of 2020. When further Departmental Funding is confirmed, the programme will recommence. Q.141 COUNCILLOR CRÍONA NÍ DHÁLAIGH To ask the Chief Executive why it is taking so long for the installation of a pedestrian crossing at (details supplied). CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPLY: It is intended to include a pedestrian crossing at (details supplied 1) as part of the development of the Grand Canal Cycle Route between (details supplied 2). This project is currently on hold at the request of the National Transport Authority (NTA) to allow the necessary redesign of Harold’s Cross Bridge to be incorporated into the Bus Connects Project. It is envisaged that the project may be in a position to resume in Q3 2020 following the NTA redesign of Harold’s Cross Bridge.

The original MSAG was established by the Minister in May 2017 and was also chaired by Dr Collins. Dublin City Council nominated ?ve Councillors to the Group at that time at the Minister?s request. The role of MSAG is to represent and work with all stakeholders (including Hammerson which owns the development site surrounding the State owned National Monument at Nos. 14 - 17 Moore St) to help broker development solutions that would be supported by all concerned. The MSAG, as initiated in May 2017, reported to the Minister, at the beginning of August 2019. Its report - Securing History 2 - which is available in full on contains a number of key recommendations, including that the MSAG itself would be recon?gured to a smaller more focussed group in order to continue to move the process forward as quickly as possible. The recommendation in the Securing History 2 report relating to membership of the recon?gured MSAG is that all stakeholder organisations currently represented would retain their places but that overall membership numbers would be reduced to increase the effectiveness and ease of operation of a smaller Advisory Group. In the case of Dublin City Council representation, in line with similar changes for other constituent bodies, there would be three Councillors on the new Advisory Group plus one senior of?cial. As referred to above, the Minister has re-appointed Dr Tom Collins to continue as independent chair of the recon?gured Advisory Group which will have the same administrative support from the Department as was given to its predecessor. The Minister is anxious for the Group to begin its work without delay and would appreciate, therefore, if you could arrange to nominate the three Councillors and senior of?cial to represent the City Council at your earliest convenience. I can con?rm that all Advisory Group meetings will take place in a convenient location for City Councillors whose attendance and input would be of critical importance to the success of its work. 23 Sra'id Chill Dara, Baile Atha Cliath 2, D02 TD3O 23 Kildare Street, Dublin 2, D02 TD3O :I'eileafon /Te ephone: (01) 631 3800 Page 1 53 Iosghlao/Lo-callz 1890 273000 - lasmuigh de limist?ar 01/outslde 01 area Rl'omhphost/ Email: Gr?asan/Web: I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible please.

Location: Inchicore Library, 34 Emmet Road, Dublin 8. Proposal: Proposed access, refurbishment & alteration works to Inchicore Library. _________________________________________________________________________ Location: Inchicore Library is located on the southern side of Emmet Road in Inchicore west of its junction with the South Circular Road in the west of the city. The site is occupied by the library building which sits on an elevated position above the road enclosed by a low solid wall with railings on top and staggered solid boundary walls flanking the building on the side boundaries. The library is built in Art Deco style and follows a pattern of similar designs of libraries built around Dublin at the time (circa 1937.) Proposed Development: The development proposes: Proposed Access, Refurbishment & Alteration Works to Inchicore Library. • Demolition of existing entrance steps and site entrance gate. • Refurbishment and alteration of existing Library Building. • Construction of a new 76 sq.m rear extension comprising of a Multipurpose Room, Staff Office, Toilet, Canteen and Ancillary Accommodation. The construction would also include a new site entrance gate, access ramp and steps system, platform lift, repair and alteration to existing boundary treatment to front of building, provision of bicycle stands and all associated site works. The primary aim of the project is to restore, and provide and maximise access to the existing facility of Inchicore Library: Page 159    Expand on the existing service located within the building. Fulfil the operational and spatial requirements as specified by DCC in their briefing document. Exploit its unique location and architectural qualities to make it accessible and visible. The transformed building will exploit the unique layout of the existing space, while providing appropriate and modern services and back of house areas. Planning Context: Zoning: Under the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022, the application site is designated Zoning Objective Z1: ‘To protect, provide and improve residential amenities’. The permissible uses from the Development Plan which are relevant for this proposed project include “community facility”. Development Plan Context Chapter 12 of Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 sets out the following policies in relation to the development of community uses: SN15: To ensure the optimum use of community facilities and that high-quality facilities are accessible to all. SN16: To ensure that the provision of strategic new community infrastructure complements the range of existing neighbourhood facilities and, where appropriate, is located at the interface between communities to facilitate access across a number of neighbourhood areas and greater integration between communities and to support the provision of community facilities which act as point of integration between residents of new and established communities within neighbourhoods. SN18: To encourage and facilitate the provision of a range of community facilities in the city that caters for all. SN24: To support the implementation of the Dublin City Library Development Plan, including the development of the branch library service to serve local communities. CHC33: To support the national cultural institutions and facilitate the provision of fit-for purpose, sustainable cultural infrastructure such as museums, libraries, theatres, exhibition spaces, cinemas, and music venues in the city centre, suitable for all ages and accessible to all living, working or visiting the city and which reflect the role of Dublin as the capital city. CHC38: To promote and facilitate the development, expansion and improvement of Dublin city’s library network. Section 16.10.17 Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 relates to the retention and reuse of Older Buildings of Significance which are not Protected. The policy states that the reuse of older buildings of significance is a central element in the conservation of the built heritage of the city and important to the achievement of sustainability. The proposal is deemed to be consistent with the policies and objectives outlined in the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022. Submissions/Observations Address provided in Appendix 1 One submission has been received from; Page 160      Jan Macek Concerns raised regarding illegal parking Symmetry of building is not reinforced by the design New railings stairs and ramps will not promote openness Location of the cycle parking behind a gate may not be useful Potential for 2 entrances on the northern boundary to address concerns raised Concerns raised are noted and have been considered in this report Requirement of Appropriate Assessment (AA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) The application has been accompanied with the following information in relation to the requirement for an Appropriate Assessment: The project site does not lie within any Natura 2000 Site. The nearest Natura 2000 sites are approximately 7.5km away (South Dublin Bay SAC, and South Dublin Bay & River Tolka Estuary SPA). There will be no habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, or species disturbance as a result of the proposed project. The project site is in a built-up area and is separated from the River Camac (a tributary of the River Liffey that ultimately flows into the Natura 2000 Sites) by road networks and urban development. There are no hydrological links between the project and the Natura 2000 sites which would likely result in an impact to the latter. There are no elements of the project, either alone or in-combination with other projects, that would likely give rise to impacts on the Natura 2000 Sites. As such, there is no requirement for Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment. In relation to the requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment it is noted that: Current EIA legislation requires projects that are likely to have significant effect on the environment to be subject to EIA assessment under Requirements derived from EIA Directive 85/337/EC (and subsequently amended by directives 97/11/EV, 2003/4/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2011/92/EU and most recently 2014/52/EU. The European Union (Planning and Development) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2018 have now transposed the most recent 2014 Directive into law. The projects which require EIA are listed in Annex I and Annex II of the EIA Directive as amended. Projects listed in Annex I of the EIA Directive have mandatory EIA requirements. Annex II projects are considered on a case-by-case basis at national level and thresholds have been set for Annex II projects in Irish legislation. But even projects which do not meet the threshold may require an EIA if the project is likely to have significant effects on the environment (sub-threshold development). Schedule 5 (Part 1) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001-2018 (as amended) sets mandatory thresholds for projects. The proposed development does not meet or exceed the mandatory threshold for projects set out in the Schedule therefore a mandatory EIA is not required. Schedule 5 (Part 1) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001-2018 (as amended) sets out national thresholds none of which the proposed development appears to fall under. Having regard to the nature of the development comprising a modest extension to the existing library building in an urban context, there is no real likelihood of significant effects on the Page 161 environment arising from the proposed development and the need for environmental impact assessment can therefore be excluded. Reports: Drainage: No objections Transportation Planning Division: No objections Irish Water: Report received required IW requirements to be met Assessment This Part 8 refer to works at Inchicore Library, located on the southern side of Emmet Road in Inchicore, west of the junction with the South Circular Road. The site is occupied by the library building which sits on an elevated position above the road enclosed by a low solid wall with railings on top and staggered solid boundary walls flanking the building on the side boundaries. The library is built in Art Deco style and follows a pattern of similar designs of libraries built around Dublin at the time (circa 1937.) The proposal for consideration involves; • Demolition of existing entrance steps and site entrance gate. • Refurbishment and alteration of existing Library Building. • Construction of a new 76 sq.m rear extension comprising of a Multipurpose Room, Staff Office, Toilet, Canteen and Ancillary Accommodation. The construction would also include a new site entrance gate, access ramp and steps system, platform lift, repair and alteration to existing boundary treatment to front of building, provision of bicycle stands and all associated site works. Concerns raised in the submission received are noted, however it is considered that the proposal for consideration will provide for enhanced community facilities in an accessible manner for the benefit of wider community. Transportation planning division have also prepared a report on this proposal and considered the transportation elements of the submission received. Point A relates to the location of the repositioned entrance in relation to on-street parking and emergency services vehicles. The on-street parking and bus stop are noted. Transportation Division do not have any concerns in relation to conflict between emergency service vehicle access and existing parking and bus stop location. Point D relates to the location of the cycle racks as proposed and a fence and gate annotated on the drawings. This gate gives access to an external activity space and a second entrance to the library. Transportation division recommend that a condition should be attached to ensure that the gate should remain open during public opening hours or that a push button access should be included to allow for easy access. Having regard to the foregoing, it is therefore considered that the extension proposed, together with the alterations and refurbishment plans contained within this scheme are the most appropriate design solution on this elevated site. Conclusion It is considered that the overall design and scale of the proposal is well reasoned and can be accommodated on site. Therefore, in light of stated policies and objectives in support of developments such as that now proposed, it is considered that the development proposed, in the form provided, is acceptable; the development as proposed is considered to be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. Recommendation Accordingly, it is recommended that a decision be made by Elected Members of the Council to proceed with the proposed development. Page 162 The following recommendations have been received from internal Departments; Drainage Division: 1. The following requirements of the Council’s Drainage Department shall be complied with: a.

More than ever, global, national and regional trends and issues are impacting on the City and on our work. Likewise, our own internal operating environment is constantly evolving and changing. The City Council needs to be agile and responsive in adapting to these impacts and in taking the opportunities presented by ongoing change to deliver for the City. Our operating environment spans environmental, economic, technologies, regulatory, societal and organisational issues. Amongst the main factors we see impacting on our objectives and performance over the period of this Plan are: Climate action Page 184 The most pressing issue of the moment, taking action to adapt to and mitigate the environmental, economic and social impacts of climate change must be a key priority for the City Council. Local authorities have been given a central role in local climate action and our broad range of environmental, economic and related functions, as well as our leadership role, mean that we can have considerable impact and influence in this area. Critical to our success will be making climate action a priority and adopting a whole-of-organisation approach to dealing with it. Aligning the goals and priorities of this Corporate Plan to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is an important step in linking our work with the global effort towards building a more sustainable future. Sustainable city growth Meeting the ambitious targets set in Rebuilding Ireland and the necessity to ensure public and private housing is delivered at the appropriate scale and quality within the City are key to addressing this issue. Project Ireland 2040 (the National Planning Framework) and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy recognise the Dublin City Region as Ireland’s leading global city of scale and its success is key to the sustainable economic growth of the country. The impacts of Brexit on the Dublin economy, both positive and negative are, as yet, unknown. To enable future economic competitiveness, compact growth, infrastructural improvement and housing supply are significant success factors. The importance of collaborating with neighbouring authorities, city and international partners is critical in securing our future sustainable growth. Technology and data New technologies are continuing to have major impacts on economy, society and the workplace and are fundamentally changing many traditional industries, processes and modes of communication. Being aware of and ready to take advantage of new trends in technology is essential. At an organisational level, there are significant opportunities to improve service delivery, planning and administration through use of new technology. The Public Sector Data Strategy 2019 - 2023, Our Public Service 2020 and the Public Service ICT Strategy provide a framework within which we can focus our priorities in this area. The acute pressures on the provision of suitable, affordable housing continue to be a significant challenge. 6 Policy, legislation and service change Diversity, Equality and Equity The City Council has always operated in a dynamic environment, responding to changing government policy, legislation, functions and structures. For instance, since the adoption of the last Corporate Plan major new policies and pieces of legislation such as Rebuilding Ireland and the National Climate Action Plan, the Strategic Housing Development Regulations and General Data Protection Regulation, as well as public sector reform plans have been introduced. The Public Sector Duty placed on all public bodies and our obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities are significant positive steps for local government in providing a framework within which we can ensure our policies, services and facilities are equitable and accessible for all. Page 185 During the past five years we have embedded a range of new functions introduced under the Local Government Reform Act 2014, in particular the Local Community Development Committee and Local Enterprise Office and have put in place a number of internal change and innovation programmes such as Smart Cities and the Transformation Unit. We have a proven ability to adapt to change and must continue to be responsive and innovative in adapting to our continually evolving role. Citizen focus As a public service organisation and the local democratic leadership of the City, we have an inherent obligation to focus on the needs and quality of life of citizens and businesses, who are our key stakeholders. People’s expectations of how they can connect and engage with us and how they can access their public services is changing, particularly with the advent of new technologies and communication processes. The City Council must ensure that the most appropriate tools and processes are in place to meet these expectations and that a user-focus is adopted in the design of service processes. The City Council has developed and agreed an action plan for the ongoing implementation of the public sector equality and human rights duty, across all of its functions. This action plan will underpin and drive a rolling assessment of equality and human rights issues across the various divisions of the council. This, in turn, will enable the development of operational procedures to incorporate actions adequate to address the equality and human rights issues assessed. Staff and staff development Retaining and developing our staff through mobility, training and effective use of their talents is critical to the success of the organisation and the quality of our services. In an ever more competitive recruitment market place, the City Council needs to emphasise its attractiveness as a place to work, ensuring that we can continue to attract and retain the best staff to deliver for the people of Dublin. An emphasis on staff development, recognition and training is essential for continued success in supporting our most valuable resource. Funding The Council must operate within the limits of the financial resources available to it. Despite a relatively benign economic environment, the City Council faces difficult challenges in operating within the existing local government funding system. 7 The rising costs of services, coupled with little increase to our income base or discretionary funding means that significant additional income must be raised if services are to be maintained. Improved efficiencies and a continuous focus on value for money can assist in making best use of the funding available. Shared Services The City Council continues to play an active role in leading and participating in Shared Service Initiatives, for example the City Council is:  Page 186    the lead local authority for the National Building Control Office, which provides oversight, support and direction for the development, standardisation and implementation of Building Control as an effective shared service in the 31 Building Control Authorities successfully operating an SLA with Irish Water to provide and maintain water services for the City Area providing homeless services for the 4 Dublin Local Authorities through the Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) lead local authority for the single shared national public library system, which allows all library users in the country access to over 12 million items The City Council also participates in a range of other shared service initiatives with partner local authorities and sharing in the benefits of economies of scale and efficiencies that result. 8 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals The City Council is committed to creating a sustainable city which is environmentally bearable and socially equitable into the future. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a shared blueprint for such a future. As part of the plan-making process, 30 of our statutory and corporate plans and policies were mapped against the 17 SDGs to show areas where we are making a high, moderate or low contribution to the goals. We also mapped how the goals and priority objectives of this Plan will contribute to achieving the SDGs and how we can use them to frame and guide our work over the next 5 years. The mapping exercise identified 12 SDGs to which this Plan will actively contribute. Over the course of this Plan, we will continue to develop ways to frame our work in the context of the SDGs. Linking the goals and priority objectives of this plan to the SDGs is the first step towards this.

The work of this Committee ceased on the expiry of the previous City Council and the Local Elections in May 2019. As Councillors are aware Dublin Fire Brigade, while managed by Dublin City Council, has responsibility for the delivery of services in the four local authority areas of Dublin. The service is also funded by the four Dublin local authorities. For this reason it is considered appropriate that a Special Inter Local Authority Committee should be established and should include Councillors from the other three Dublin local authorities. The following is a suggested membership of a new Special Inter Local Authority Committee, which reflects the respective local authority shares of the total DFB annual budget.     10 Councillors from Dublin City Council 4 Councillors from South Dublin County Council 4 Councillors from Fingal County Council 3 Councillors from Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Chairperson: The Chairperson and Vice Chairperson would be selected by the members at its first meeting. Responsibilities: Dublin Fire Brigade, Ambulance Services, Civil Defence, Fire Prevention and Emergency Management. Administration: The Committee will be administered and served by the relevant Assistant Chief Executive and senior management in Dublin City Council. It may be appropriate for the Special Committee to include external members with relevant expertise. It is considered that this is a matter that should be considered by the Committee, in the first instance. The Special Committee will concentrate on the following strategic matters:  Assisting the four Dublin local authorities in the formulation, development and review of policy on Emergency Services and Emergency Management. Page 213  Taking a strategic overview of the relevant policy areas in the wider context of the Dublin region.  The preparation of the Fire and Emergency Operations Plan under Section 26 of the Fire Services Act, 1981.  The achievement of greater integration and co-ordination between the Dublin Fire Brigade Services and the National Ambulance Services.  Considering the recommendations from the Health Information and Quality Agency (HIQA) reports in December 2014 and March 2017.  Consider the progress of various proposed reform programmes in this area. As is the case with the Strategic Policy Committee structure and remit, this Committee will not be involved in operational or industrial relations issues. I recommend to Council that this Special Inter local Authority Committee now be established on the basis set out above and the relevant invitations be sent to our neighbouring local authorities. Resolution: “That Dublin City Council notes the contents of Report No. 350/2019 and hereby approves the contents therein”. Brendan Kenny Deputy Chief Executive 2nd December 2019 Page 214 To the Lord Mayor and Members of Dublin City Council Report No. 04/2020 Report of the Assistant Chief Executive _________________________________________________________________________ Dublin City Community Enhancement Programme and Men’s Shed Funding 2019 On 27th March the Community Enhancement Programme 2019 was launched by Minister Michael Ring, TD and formal notification and departmental guidelines were issued to the Chief Officer of the LCDC on 5th April 2019. The Department of Rural and Community Development allocated €212,306 to the Dublin City Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) for the awarding of capital grants to local community and voluntary groups, not for profit organisations and State departments or agencies. A Sub-Committee of the then LCDC Committee met on 18th April to agree how to proceed with the programme in Dublin City and set the following criteria against which applications would be assessed:  Potential of the proposed project to contribute to the achievement of Goal 2 of the Dublin City Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021: – “Work in partnership with communities to promote social inclusion, tackle poverty and disadvantage, and promote participation, empowerment and positive social change.”  Priority to be given to groups or organisations working in areas of disadvantage or with individuals or communities impacted by disadvantage (assessment will rely equally on Pobal small area maps and local knowledge).  Prioritise community and voluntary groups working at a local level.  Geographical balance and desirability to fund a variety of projects.  Demonstrated need for the project and number of people that will benefit.  Demonstrated collaboration with other organisations. The scheme was open for applications from 10 May to 14 June 2019. Notification of the scheme was issued to the full membership of the Dublin City Public Participation Network (PPN), to Dublin City Council Community Officers and to the four Local Development Companies and the Inner City Co-op to share with groups and organisations in their area. Details were also available at www.dublincity.ie. Page 215 On 28th June a further €39,267 was allocated to Dublin City to be ring-fenced for small-scale capital grants for Men’s and Women’s Sheds within the Dublin City administrative area. Only Men’s Sheds that were affiliated with the Irish Men’s Sheds Association were eligible to apply and only Women’s Sheds that were not affiliated to any other parent organisation and who had an appropriate organisational structure in place were also eligible to apply. This scheme was open for applications from 29th July to 22nd August 2019. Following local elections and changes to the membership of the LCDC a new Sub-Committee was formed who met on 18th September to assess all applications made under the Community Enhancement Programme and Men’s and Women’s Sheds 2019. The recommendations of the Sub-Committee were approved by the full LCDC at its meeting on Wednesday, 23rd October 2019.

The Parks and Landscape Services Department also provide significant litter management services to the city’s green spaces, beaches and environs. In 2018 the department disposed of in the order of 2,264 tons of waste materials. This derived from the following operations and activities: • Servicing 341 bins located in Parks and fortnightly maintenance schedules for parks, open spaces, road environs and margins, carried out by a combination of direct labour and contracted services, where litter and dumped material is collected. • Halloween. Disposal of material pre and post event • St Annes Park (37 bins), the Bull Island and Dollymount Beach provided 156 tons of waste material in 2018. This includes waste that derives from fly-tipping on the island and The Bull Island Action (volunteer) Group who carry out monthly clean-ups on the island. • Dollymount Beach is maintained to a ‘Blue Flag’ standard so three weeks prior to the bathing season (which commences 1st June) the beach is mechanically raked from 6.00am each morning, along with a litter pick. This operation is carried out seven days a week throughout the bathing season until 15th September each year. Fifty ‘barrel bins’ are put in place to accommodate the waste that derives from the use of the beach during the summer months (reduced to 8 bins during the winter months) as well as 2 solar bins on the North Wall. The Waste Management Department maintain bins along the seafront promenades at Sandymount and Clontarf and co-operate with the Parks Service in terms of monitoring the best placement of public litter bins to coincide with entrances to parks and open spaces where feasible. The Parks Service has introduced fifty solar compactor bins in 2019 and these are located throughout city parks where there is a significant weekend usage. Complaints in relation to litter are continuously monitored and if there are requests for additional bins in parks, each request is considered based on a local needs assessment. 2 Page 276 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 1.2 Preparing the Plan For the 2019-2021 Litter Management Plan, Dublin City Council decided to take a streamlined and focused approach to its preparation.

Internal Consultation Consultation was held with key stakeholders, waste management and enforcement staff to review the success of the previous plan and to discuss and draw out ideas about the new plan, based on their experiences on the front line of litter management in the city. 2. Drafting the Plan Background research was conducted and a review of the internal consultation was undertaken for the preparation of the new Litter Management Plan. A review of 2016 - 2018 Litter Management Plan and evaluation of performance against previous targets was completed. The draft plan was then reviewed by the Dublin City Council Litter Management Team and other key stakeholders. 3. Statutory Consultation The Draft Plan must be approved by Climate Action, Energy and Environment Strategic Policy Committee and Dublin City Council for the statutory phase of Public Consultation to commence. During the Public Consultation, the Draft plan will be published on the Dublin City Council website and advertised through a media campaign inviting submissions including press and radio advertising. The results of the Statutory Consultation will be reviewed through a Special Meeting of Strategic Policy Committee. 4. Review and Publishing the Plan The Draft Plan will be reviewed and amended on the basis of the submissions received, followed by adoption of the Plan by Dublin City Council. The final stage will be the publication of the full and final Litter Management Plan 2020 - 2022. 3 Page 277 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 2. Review of the 2016-2018 Litter Management Plan The 2016-2018 Plan described the activities and resources to be put in place by Dublin City Council for the management of litter over this period. The Litter Management Plan adopted in March 2016 contained four key objectives: The plan was structured around three key areas; Resources, Partnership and Enforcement with various objectives under each to be delivered over the lifetime of the plan. A summary report on actions in each area over the period 2016-2018 is presented below. 2.1 Resources The 2016-2018 Litter Management Plan set out how Dublin City Council planned to make best use of the resources available to it during the period of the plan, combining greater provision of technology with fully trained and appropriately equipped staff to ensure that a high standard of street cleaning is delivered throughout the City. Some highlights from the plan follow below. Infrastructure  Rationalisation of services at the two main depots at Collins Ave and Davitt Road was completed. This included the complete redevelopment of the Davitt Road Facility. Herzog Park bring centre facility has been redeveloped to facilitate development and improvement of the adjacent park facilities. 4 Page 278 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Human Resources  Recruitment has been undertaken at all levels of operational staff to ensure that staffing levels are maintained to provide a high quality range of street cleaning services. Fleet  A replacement programme has been undertaken across a fleet of in excess of 200 vehicles. New compact sweeping vehicles, side loader vehicles, small vans and street vacuums have been introduced. Litter Bins  An upgrade of bins in urban villages is underway and more than 200 solar compactor bins have been installed in the city. A litter bin tagging project has been introduced to both manage the stock of litter bins and provide an additional customer reporting option for issues relating to litter bin maintenance and servicing. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System   Use of the Dublin City Council customer relations management system (CRM) has been enhanced to improve service delivery, accountability, and measurement of response times and levels of complaints in each administrative area. Approximately 28,000 service requests were addressed in 2018. The use of CRM mapping tools has also been introduced to allow for identification of areas that require monitoring or intervention and this is carried out through a new street grading programme introduced to provide for ongoing monitoring of standards of day to day street cleaning and service delivery.

The implementation of the objectives set out in the plan were monitored and a selection of the targets and their implementation are outlined below: Resources Objective From 2016-2018 Litter Management Plan Status Update on Objective Develop a cleaning strategy for suburban villages, including provision for weekend/out of hour’s service schedule. During the lifetime of the Plan, the Waste Management Department has undergone significant change incorporating the introduction of new shift patterns. These have delivered on the commitment to provide a regular seven day cleaning and litter management service to all areas, reflecting what is currently provided to the City Centre area. A move from route based cleaning to area based cleaning has been undertaken and is currently being refined further to ensure that resources are allocated adequately across all of the administrative areas. North and Southside crews are now assigned and scheduled cleaning / power washing of areas prioritised in conjunction with Area Depts. There is now in place a regular weekend service to all urban villages. Introduce street sweeping request facility for City residents. Parking restrictions will be sought to be put in place in cooperation with residents to facilitate this. Street Sweeping request facility is available in conjunction with local area offices and is in use successfully in a number of locations both on an occasional and regular basis in cooperation with local residents. Introduction of on line Bulky Waste Collection service. Request via Dublin City Council website. Online bulky waste collection service is in place and working successfully. 1132 service requests completed in 2017. 1620 service requests completed in 2018. 7 Page 281 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Implement Halloween Plan to combat social and environmental consequences of Bonfires. Halloween Plan successfully implemented in 2016 2017 and 2018 Organise Christmas tree collection service. Christmas Tree Collection in place annually. 420 tonnes of material removed in 2016 450 tonnes of material removed in 2017 600 tonnes of material removed in 2018 150 tonnes of trees collected in 2016/17 170 tonnes of trees collected in 2017/18 153 tonnes of trees collected in 2018/19 Increase the number of handcarts to 10 in use in City Centre Streets (e.g. O’Connell St., Grafton St. and Henry St.) Number of handcarts currently in use in the city centre is 11 and citywide 32 Updated bin survey, including bins in parks to be completed. Bin surveying and mapping has been completed and the introduction of Quick response (QR) code reporting for bins requiring servicing has been introduced. Note: Litter in parks is managed by the Parks Department. These bins have not been included in the roll out of QR code system. Installation of additional litter bins/dog fouling bins in or in close proximity to every enclosed Park within the City. 110 Dog Fouling bins installed across city at green spaces, park entrances and high footfall dog walking locations as agreed with the Area Offices. Standard litter bins are also in place at many park entrances. Use advertising space on litter bins for antilittering messages. Litter bin advertising space has been used for anti-littering and environmental messaging and also for general public service messaging. This will be enhanced during the lifetime of the upcoming litter management plan 8 Page 282 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Continue maintenance programme for Bottle Banks. An enhanced programme of maintenance is now in place with closer coordination between the Waste Management Department and service providers. All bottle and textile bank locations are now included in Area Based cleaning schedules and receive scheduled daily cleaning and deep cleaning on an annual basis 9 Page 283 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 2.2 Partnership Partnerships were a key focus of the 2016 to 2018 Litter Management plan. During the lifetime of the plan Dublin City Council engaged with citizens through a variety of initiatives and communications channels Local Communities, Residents and Business Groups  The Waste Management Department continues to work in close partnership with local communities and residents groups and Dublin City Council Area Departments to deliver services and support local environmental initiatives. Community clean ups are supported throughout the city on an ongoing basis. Dublin City Council also engages with businesses to support corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. There is ongoing support for groups such as the Royal and Grand Canal volunteers, The Dodder Action Group, City Kayaking, tidy towns groups, business associations and residents groups. City Neighbourhoods Competition  The City Neighbourhoods competition is supported and promoted to reward active communities for the invaluable contribution they make to their environment and locality. The City Neighbourhoods is an area based competition and winners at local level are then entered into a citywide competition in categories that provide for residents, schools and businesses that are engaged in community, environmental and sustainability initiatives. Over 400 entries were received in 2019 Pride Of Place  The national Pride of Place entries from Dublin City Council are coordinated and supported through the Waste Management Department. The Pride of Place Awards are community recognition awards, which acknowledge the work being done every day by communities all over the island of Ireland. The competition is based on communities demonstrating directly to the judges their pride in their place by oral presentation, exhibitions of community activities and culture and a tour of the area highlighting the aspects of which they are particularly proud. It is also important that the community demonstrates real partnership with their local council and shows that all sectors of the community are included. Local Agenda 21  The Waste Management Department continues to promote Local Agenda 21 grant funding to support workshops, educational activities and initiatives promoting sustainability and environmental awareness. 10 Page 284 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Green Schools  Dublin City Council supports and promotes the Green Schools programme in conjunction with An Taisce with over 280 schools at primary and secondary level taking part in the programme which promotes environmental awareness and sustainability. Dublin City Council hosts an annual seminar targeted at teachers delivering the green schools programme to provide up to date information on the various environmental modules contained within the programme. Media Campaigns  Dublin City Council ran a series of media campaigns throughout the lifetime of the 2016 to 2018 Litter Management Plan. The campaigns were run across radio, outdoor advertising, cinema, digital and social media. Choose to Reuse Dublin City Council in partnership with Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council ran a major ‘choose to reuse’ campaign in the summer of 2018 to highlight the issue of disposable coffee cups in the Dublin Region. The aim of the campaign was to raise awareness among coffee drinkers in the Dublin region that disposable cups are having a detrimental impact on the environment. Link to Campaign Video Bin the Butt Campaign Dublin City Council also ran a public awareness campaign in 2018 entitled 'Bin the Butt' to raise awareness about the ongoing issue of cigarette litter in the city. Cigarette butts account for nearly 60% of all the incidences of street litter in Dublin city. The aim of the City Council's campaign was to raise awareness among smokers that cigarette butts are litter and the significance of cigarette litter in the city. 11 Page 285 Link to Campaign Video Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Think Don’t Tag Campaign Dublin City Council launched the 'Graffiti is a Crime, Think Don’t Tag' campaign in 2017. Dublin City Council in partnership with An Garda Síochána produced an animated video and poster campaign to raise awareness among children about tagging and graffiti and how this criminal activity can have serious consequences for them in the future. In 2018 Dublin City Council removed 17,000 m² of graffiti from public and private property in the city. Link to Campaign Video The Team Dublin Clean Up/Dublin Community Clean Up Day  The Team Dublin Clean Up is now an annual event for the city and is now called the Dublin Community Clean Up Day. It is run in partnership with the 4 Dublin Local Authorities, An Taisce, Local Authorities Waters and Community Office (LAWCO) and the volunteer Canal and Waterways action groups on the Royal and Grand Canals and the river Dodder. The event is run to coincide with National spring Clean, In 2018 in Dublin City over 100 groups took part in the event and over 1000 bags of litter were collected by the City Council from groups working in residential areas, carrying out beach clean ups and clean ups of the canals and river banks. 12 Page 286 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Actions and Targets Below is a summary outlining our performance against the objectives set out for Partnership in the 2016 - 2018 Litter Management Plan. Objective From 2016-2018 Litter Management Plan Status Update on Objective Implement Team Dublin Clean-up on Saturday 26th March. Team Dublin Clean Up event held in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Participation has increased annually. The 2018 event was held in conjunction with Dodder Action Day, the Canal Clean Up, Clean Coasts and National Spring Clean. 100 groups took part in the event in 2018. In 2019 the event was expanded and held in conjunction with the 4 Dublin local authorities, An Taisce, LAWCO and the canals action groups Dublin City Council will facilitate community clean-ups with Residents Associations and community groups. Community Clean Up support is ongoing in conjunction with Area Depts. Dublin City Council will continue to assist in the organisation and support of the City Neighbourhoods Awards. City Neighbourhoods Annual Awards takes place in September each year. Continue to develop and roll out the Green Schools Programme to primary, post primary and third level institutions. 284 schools are taking part in the Green schools Programme in Dublin City 70 school visits are completed annually to assist in developing and supporting the programme. A Green Schools seminar is held annually to promote programme to teachers. Development of policy on responsible dog ownership. The Waste Management Department support the Green Dog Walkers scheme which promotes responsible dog ownership and the appropriate disposal of dog fouling. The scheme is promoted at relevant events and in communities and schools. The provision of free dog bags has been extended to additional DCC facilities including bring centres. This system has been used at 4 locations including bring centre locations and dog walking areas. Areas where the system can be used are limited due to noise disturbance. Effectiveness appears to decrease over time so usage will be considered for limited timeframes at problematic locations. Introduce pre-programmed anti dog fouling audio messages at dog fouling blackspots and bring centres. • • • • 1909 clean ups supported in 2017 3299 clean ups supported in 2018 287 entries in 2017 298 entries in 2018 13 Page 287 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 2.3 Enforcement Enforcement activities were a key focus of the 2016 to 2018 Litter Management plan. Dublin City Council has a statutory responsibility to enforce the Litter Pollution Act, bye-laws and other relevant regulations. Dublin City Council recognises that while resources and education are required to manage and prevent incidences of littering, enforcement measures are necessary to target individuals and groups who choose to ignore the law. Below is a summary outlining our performance against the objectives set out for Enforcement in the previous plan. CCTV  The use of CCTV has continued in community bring centres and areas where illegal dumping is prevalent. This service is available citywide and the Waste Management Department has recently awarded a contract for the provision of these services through the public procurement process Compliance Campaigns  Door to door compliance campaigns have been undertaken as have specific enforcement activities surrounding compliance with waste and litter bye laws. These have been targeted at distinct areas within the 5 administrative areas and have been operated in conjunction with the Public Domain officers for each area. In excess of 3000 door to door enquiries have been undertaken during the lifetime of the previous plan and are currently ongoing.  A compliance campaign in relation to the provisions of the litter bye-laws was undertaken to coincide with the cigarette litter awareness campaign in 2018. A substantial number of enforcement actions were taken and compliance increased.  Behavioural surveys have been undertaken in specific areas, surveillance of dumping blackspots has been undertaken.  Dog fouling patrols and illegal dumping investigations have also been ongoing over the lifetime of the plan. Including high visibility patrols of popular dog walking areas in conjunction with the dog warden service.  Litter enforcement patrols are undertaken at all major sporting events to ensure compliance with the provisions of the litter prevention bye laws Waste Bye Laws  The new Dublin City Council Waste Bye Laws adopted in 2019 provide for improving enforcement of the requirement to take part in a waste collection service and a large scale compliance enforcement campaign is being prepared for implementation. 14 Page 288 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Projects  The Waste Management Department has been involved in both the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment Anti-Dumping initiatives in 2017 and 2018 and also in 2018 the SMART Dublin/Enterprise Ireland Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects directed at targeting the issue of illegal dumping.  The Waste Management Department is currently examining the issue of waste and illegal dumping as part of the Dublin City BETA city challenge initiative. Projects will be developed to assess whether they provide for a better waste service and consequently reduce levels of illegal dumping. Actions and Targets Implementation of the various objectives set out for Enforcement in the 2016 2018 Litter Management Plan were monitored through a set of tangible actions and the achievements are set out below: Objective From 2016-2018 Litter Management Plan Status Update on Objective Dublin City Council will review the Litter Wardens duties in order to meet the requirements of the new Litter Management Plan. Reorganisation of the litter enforcement service is underway Continued use of CCTV surveillance and associated signage. CCTV continues to be used in community bring centres and illegal dumping locations throughout the city to detect, prevent and deter illegal dumping and littering offences Pilot projects in North Inner City, South East, South Central Area, North West and North Central have been completed. Expansion of the use of this type of enforcement action is planned using the provisions of the proposed new Waste Bye Laws. Expansion of door to door enforcement campaigns across the city. In conjunction with WEEE Ireland, RecycleIT carry out door to door collections in the Dublin City Council will facilitate WEEE Dublin City area in cooperation with DCC. collection days at specific locations across the City. Formulate and implement Citywide enforcement policy including the establishment of a citywide enforcement team. An enforcement policy has been formulated including step by step approach to establishing compliance levels and carrying out of enforcement. 15 Page 289 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Prepare submission on legislative requirements to support enforcement activities. Discussion document prepared on legislative issues relating to litter enforcement.

Bye Laws introduced 16 Page 290 Draft Litter Management Plan 2019-2021 3. Objectives for the 2019-2021 Litter Management Plan RESOURCES: Resources for street cleaning and litter management PARTNERSHIP: ENFORCEMENT: Engaging citizens and local business Enforce the Litter Acts and Bye Laws The 2020- 2022 Litter Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Litter Pollution Act 1997 to 2009. The Plan has been developed in consultation with Dublin City Council staff, elected representatives and with the citizens of Dublin who live and work in the city through the statutory consultation process. The plan is built on the three pillars of litter management in the City: Resources, Partnership and Enforcement. Effective management of litter can be achieved when we make the best use of the human resources, skills and knowledge from Dublin City Council, coupled with improvements in service delivery, by working together with the public, residents and businesses who call Dublin home and by taking enforcement action on those who do not respect our shared environment and illegally dump waste materials, fail to clean up after their pets and incidentally litter the city. The aims, objectives and actions for the management and prevention of litter are outlined for each key area and are to be undertaken during the lifetime of the Litter Management Plan. The overall aim is to improve the standard and consistency of cleanliness throughout the city for residents, businesses and visitors over the lifetime of this plan. Successful initiatives, projects and operational activities that have been implemented over the lifetime of previous litter management plans will continue and improvements will be sought in all aspects of service delivery. Objectives for the 2020 – 2022 Litter Management Plan Page 291 17 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 3.1 Resources In previous years, Dublin City Council implemented a number of technological innovations to improve the efficiency of litter management and street cleansing. The Council intends to combine these innovations with the most efficient deployment of existing and additional resources in order to keep pace with the ever changing city. Street Cleaning and Litter Bins  Dublin City Council will increase the number of handcarts in operation both in the city and the main streets of villages ensuing operatives can maintain the previous standards of cleanliness with the anticipated increase in footfall.  Dublin City Council has introduced and will maintain a programme of street grading to ensure a high standard of street cleaning services is being delivered and to address any deficits in its service delivery. The street grading programme is an ongoing measurement of day to day performance of operational services  Every litter bin in the city is now ‛tagged’ with a unique identifier (QR code) which feeds into an IT system. Dublin City Council will launch a campaign to demonstrate to the public that with a few clicks on a smart phone they can report when a litter bin is damaged or overflowing. This provides real-time data, enabling cleaning operatives to issue a rapid response.  The stock of public litter bins in use will be maintained and improved. High capacity units will be installed in areas of need and a programme of bin replacement will be undertaken to ensure the supply of public litter bins is maintained in good condition. Upgrading of bins will be ongoing in urban villages and additional bins will be installed in areas of need.  Dublin City Council will continue the roll-out of solar-compactor bins where there is high capacity requirement such as areas of high demand or with seasonal peak demand. These units provide extra capacity when compared to standard litter bins, reducing the quantity of collections required and are generally well-received within the community.  The management of the stock of public litter bins will be continued using the bin tagging technology introduced in the 2016 – 2018 Litter Management Plan. 18 Page 292 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022  Dublin City Council will continue to provide and extend its road sweeping services, allowing streets to be thoroughly cleaned in the absence of parked cars. The service is available through cooperation with residents and community groups and has been successfully implemented.  Dublin City Council will continue to provide and extend the successful Halloween Programme to combat the social and environmental consequences of bonfires. A multi Departmental approach to ensuring the maximum amount of material is diverted from potential bonfires will continue to be implemented. Diversionary events will continue to be promoted to provide alternatives to bonfires for communities to take part in and enjoy.  Graffiti and Chewing gum removal programmes will continue in the city with ongoing removal of graffiti throughout the city and a scheduled programme of chewing gum removal in the core city centre and other public spaces.  A pilot leaf composting programme will be introduced to investigate whether all leaves collected by Dublin City Council during the autumnal leaf fall season may be diverted to compost production and the compost produced made available to the public through bring centres.  Dublin City Council will continue to identify and remove abandoned bicycles in the city and divert the bicycles removed for repair and reuse Recycling Infrastructure – Civic Amenity Sites, Bring Centres, Bottle and Textile Banks  Dublin City Council will extend the use of the QR Code system to all Bring Centres and bottle bank locations throughout the City to provide for a simple method of customer interaction and to ensure that the recycling infrastructure at the centres is maintained in good condition.  Dublin City Council will explore and trial the introduction of sensor technology to bottle and textile banks to provide for real time information on servicing requirements.  Dublin City Council will seek to increase the supply of bottle and textile bank facilities in the city and will engage with the public to identify potential new sites.  The Waste Management Department will seek to include the provision of recycling facilities in all new residential and commercial developments as an objective of the Dublin City Development Plan  Dublin City Council will trial the use of compartmentalised waste and recycling bins at selected public spaces and areas, to encourage recycling at street level from members of the public. A pilot programme is currently being developed in partnership with industry and NGO’s. 19 Page 293 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System and the use of Technology  The CRM system will continue to play a pivotal role in highlighting litter ‛hotspots’, areas where litter related complaints have been made and incidences of illegal dumping have been reported and locations where illegal dumping or dog fouling is most prevalent, enabling Dublin City Council to allocate cleaning and enforcement resources efficiently.  Dublin City Council will encourage and communicate with members of the public to provide as much detail as possible when reporting an incident, including the exact location and where possible, details of the type and amount of material when reporting .  Dublin City Council will endeavour to feed back to a member of the public who logs an incident or complaint with the Council through the CRM system when the incident has been dealt with appropriately and is closed off.  The data generated through the CRM will be used for greater statistical analysis and internal reporting to assist the council in planning operations, recycling or enforcement initiatives.  Smart technology will be introduced where possible to increase efficiency and data capture in the areas of street cleaning and enforcement  Dublin City Council will continue to promote it services, initiatives and customer engagement through its social media presence @dubcityenviro commenced under the lifetime of the previous litter management plan  Dublin City Council will continue to expand its provision of Open Data through the data.gov.ie portal in relation to as many of its waste, recycling and litter services as possible to facilitate research, business and community initiatives.  A resource such as an interactive map showing cleaning schedules for the city will be made available to the public through the dublincity.ie website. 20 Page 294 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 3.2 Partnership Engagement with citizens and businesses residing within the City has proven successful in the past and community buy-in is viewed as being paramount to maintaining a litter-free City. The City Council will continue to foster engagement in these areas and work in partnership with all stakeholders to promote, support and reward environmental best practice at local levels. Communications  Internal and external communication has been identified as a key area of service delivery improvement that will be undertaken over the lifetime of the plan Dublin City Council will establish a ‛communications plan’ which will include the following components: 1. Strengthening of Internal and External Communications between Dublin City Council Departments and external stakeholders to promote a coordinated approach to litter management in the city 2. Communications with the community, outlining exactly what litter management services and support the council can provide. 3. Communications with businesses will be improved and built upon to provide information on services, responsibilities, and compliance and improve engagement with Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to work in partnership with Dublin City Council in an effort to reduce litter throughout the city. 4. Improve communications with members of the public using the CRM system. An email communication should be sent to the customer or to a specific individual when their request or complaint has been dealt with and closed off. Education  Dublin City Council will continue to engage with primary and secondary schools through the Green Schools programme and support schools engaged in the green schools programme through its annual green schools seminar  Dublin City Council will introduce and support pilot educational projects such as the ‘Picker Pals’ programme recently introduced to 10 primary schools in the city in conjunction with Voice Ireland. 21 Page 295 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022  Dublin City Council will also consider the use of incentive and reward schemes for children and young adults who engage in anti-littering practices. Community Clean Ups  Dublin City Council aims to expand on the success of the Team Dublin Clean up and Dublin Community Clean Up Day and continue to promote, support and expand this annual initiative.  The Waste Management Department will engage with local community groups and tidy towns groups to advertise Dublin City Council services such as street sweeping and leaf removal.  Dublin City Council will continue to provide support and resources for litter picks and community clean ups such as bags, litter pickers, gloves etc.  Dublin City Council will deliver information and support to communities on best practice environmental topics including resource management, climate change and tidy towns and city neighbourhoods competitions through media, workshops, seminars and direct engagement. Single Use Items  This is a highly publicised national issue. Dublin City Council will encourage its citizens through education, to avoid the use of single use items (e.g. to use re-usable coffee cups and water bottles) which will also reduce littering incidences across the city. This work was started with the ‘Choose to Reuse’ campaign and will be further promoted through other campaigns and initiatives through the lifetime of the plan.  Dublin City Council will engage with local businesses on the wider issue of the use of single use items and recommend the use of sustainable alternatives such as wooden or compostable cutlery and compostable or reusable cups.  Dublin City Council is committed to continuing the phasing-out of single-use items at all DCC offices and facilities in line with the “Green Government” requirements from DCCAE. Blue Spaces  Dublin City Council will work with the relevant internal and external stakeholders, along with community organisations to support and facilitate clean-ups of waterways and beach cleanups in the City. 22 Page 296 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022  Dublin City Council will continue to support and work with businesses around the docklands to collect litter removed from the River Liffey and seek to form partnerships with other groups engaged in similar initiatives. 3.3 Enforcement Dublin City Council has a statutory responsibility to enforce the Litter Pollution Act, bye-laws and other relevant regulations. While tactical deployment of resources and education of citizens of the city are pertinent in preventing incidences of littering, there will always be individuals and groups who openly ignore the law. Enforcement measures such as fines, prosecutions and convictions are necessary to curtail the behaviour of citizens who choose not to abide by the law. Enforcement  Dublin City Council will concentrate enforcement resources and campaigns to specific areas where issues arise and/or are prevalent.  Dublin City Council will increase coordination with other enforcement bodies, particularly An Garda Síochána in an effort to strengthen cases, leading to more successful convictions.  The Waste Management Department will continue to liaise with An Garda Síochána, Dublin Fire Brigade and other stakeholders in the run up to Halloween to implement the successful ‛Halloween Programme’, with the aim of reducing the social and environmental consequences associated with bonfires.  Dublin City Council will continue the use of surveillance and CCTV throughout the city, paying particular attention to littering and illegal dumping blackspots. Illegal Dumping  Dublin City Council will concentrate enforcement resources to specific areas where incidences of illegal dumping are particularly prevalent.  CRM mapping will be used to identify and target specific locations or areas for enformcent and complaince campaigns and initiatives.  Dublin City Council will continue to run media campaigns, with a view discouraging this type of behaviour and prompting citizens to report incidences of illegal dumping to the council through a dedicated hotline. Included in the media campaign will be a reminder that all households must have a waste collection provider in place to collect their waste. 23 Page 297 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022  Dublin City Council will continue to capture data relating to the weight of illegally dumped material in the city for reporting purposes and to provide more detailed information on dumping ‛blackspots’.  Dublin City Council will continue the use of CCTV and other surveillance methods in illegal dumping blackspots to act as a deterrent. Management of Domestic Waste  Dublin City Council will trial the implementation of a strategy to address ongoing waste management issues that are prevalent in certain multi-occupancy buildings. A multi - agency approach will be pursued to address these issues.  Dublin City Council will continue to examine the issue of waste management generally and trial interventions to promote better outcomes and reductions in waste dumping and litter through the Dublin City Beta city challenge initiative.  Dublin City Council will implement a large scale compliance campaign concentrating on the enforcement of the bye law requirement to use authorised waste collectors. Dog Fouling • Dublin City Council will develop a clear strategy demonstrating the fact that any type of litter bin can be used for the disposal of bagged dog litter.  Dublin City Council will use various social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook and traditional media for targeting educational campaigns around dog fouling, the correct use of bins and fines.  Dublin City Council will also launch blitz/enforcement campaigns in targeted areas for a defined period of time. 24 Page 298 Draft Litter Management Plan 2020-2022 4.

These committees are to consider matters connected with the formulation, development, monitoring and review of policy which relates to the functions of the local authority and to advise the local authority on those matters. Following the Local Elections, it is necessary for each local authority to establish new SPCs in line with the Guidelines published by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government in Circular LG07/2014. At the Council Meeting held on 1st July the Members consented to the Draft SPC Scheme 2019 – 2024 going out for consultation. On 2nd September 2019 the Council approved the amended Draft SPC Scheme 2019 – 2024, the nominations included therein and consented to the invitation of expressions of interest from sectoral members who wish to participate in the SPC. At the City Council meeting on 2nd December 2019 Report No. 340/2019 confirmed the appointment of Sectoral and PPN nominations to the SPC Scheme 2019-2024. Proposed revision: A proposal has been put forward to increase the Sectoral membership of the Traffic and Transportation SPC from 5 to 6 members. The overall membership of the SPC must conform to the ratio of 2 Elected Members to 1 Sectoral member, therefore this will necessitate an increase in the elected representation from ten members to twelve. The final membership of the Traffic and Transportation SPC will be 18 (Eighteen) in total, 12 (twelve) Councillors and 6 (six) Sectoral Representatives. The Traffic & Transportation SPC at its meeting on 4th December 2019 agreed if the additional membership were to be approved by the City Council, that Dublin Town be requested to fill the additional sectoral vacancy. Dublin Town had been represented on the Traffic and Transportation SPC over the last number of years. Recommendation: As the adoption of an SPC Scheme is a reserved function, the revised Dublin City Council Strategic Policy Committees 2019 – 2024 is hereby presented to the City Council for approval. Approval to amend the Dublin City Council Strategic Policy Committees 2019 -2024 Scheme to include Dublin Town as an additional Sectoral Member of the Traffic and Transportation SPC under the Business/Commercial Pillar. Following this approval, 2 (two) additional Members will be put forward for appointment to the Traffic & Transportation SPC Owen P.

Introduction Dublin City Council has undertaken a review of speed limits within its’ administrative area and has engaged through consultation with members of the public, with particular regard to the extension of the 30km/hr speed limit into further residential areas of our city. The review of current speed limits is being undertaken in accordance with the publication of the ‘Guidelines for Setting & Managing Speed Limits in Ireland’ (March 2015) published by the Department of Transport Tourism & Sport. The principle objective of assessing the appropriate speed limits for our roads and streets is to ensure that the set speed limits are as safe and appropriate as possible for vulnerable road users, including children. The Road Traffic Act of 2004 (Section 9) sets out the current legislative basis for the setting of speed limits. The setting of special speed limits is a function of the Elected Members of the council. The current speed limits were last reviewed and updated in 2018. The default speed limit in Dublin City is 50km/hr with a selection of areas, roads and streets where a special speed limit of 30, 60 or 80km/hr are also in place. Please see link below for a map of the current Speed Limits in Dublin City Council area http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-roads-and-traffic-general-trafficmeasures/speed-limits-your-area This Public Consultation has a purpose to seek public acceptance for the introduction of revised Special Speed Limits Bye-Laws 2020 which include additional 30km/hr zones in the Dublin City Council administrative area. The proposed Public Consultation documentation was presented to both the Strategic Policy Committee for Transportation and the full Dublin City Council at their meetings on 10th April and 13th May 2019, respectively. Approval to proceed to Public Consultation was received from the Elected Representatives at that time. In all 911 responses were received with 37 respondents wishing to comment on the proposed bye-laws via email and 15 making formal submissions. Page 317 Public Consultation Details The Public Consultation on the draft Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020 was carried out from the 12th August to the 22nd of September 2019 inclusive. The Public Consultation was a statutory process carried out in accordance with the stipulations set out by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. The statutory requirements of this public consultation which we complied with were set out in the document ‘Guidelines to Setting & Managing Speed Limits in Ireland’: The public notice opposite was published in Daily Star on Monday, August 12th 2019. The proposed draft Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws were on display in the Dublin City Council offices and libraries as listed on the public notice. Submissions were accepted online at https://consultation.dublincity.ie/traffic-andtransport/proposed-special-speed-limits-2019/ And via email Speed Review speedreview@dublincity.ie Submissions could have been made online, on or before 5pm on Sunday 22nd September 2019. Submissions could have also been made in writing marked “Speed Limit Review” to the Senior Engineer, Transport Operations, Environment & Transportation Department, Dublin City Council, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, D08 RF3F, or online at www.dublincity.ie/speedreview. A hardcopy of the proposed Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020 was available for inspection at all Dublin City Council Libraries, Civic Offices and Local Area Offices for the duration of the Public Consultation. Submissions from the Public Consultation Two sources presented submissions from the public, namely; Emails were received at speedreview@dublincity.ie Comments were received through the online survey at www.dublincity.ie/speedreview 37 Emails were received, including 15 submissions 874 Comments were received via the online survey Page 318 The 911 comments conveyed the following general observations Item Comment No. 1. Submission was generally supportive of expanding the 30km/h speed 666 limit as per proposal, (no specific additional comment). Response: Noted. 2. Support for expanding 30km/h speed limits expressed. This was 12 accompanied with additional roads and streets suggested for future considerations for both 30km/h and 40km/h speed limit areas. Response: Noted. Suggested roads and streets have been retained for consideration as part of the Phase 5 review of special speed limit bye laws. 3. Difficulty maintaining 30Km/hr speed whist driving unless in traffic. 6 Response: Noted 4. All areas around Schools should be 30 Km/hr Zones 5 Response: Noted. There is a pilot scheme in place of the periodic speed limit outside schools, this will be monitored and expanded if successful. 5. Support for the expansion with a requirement for further enforcement and / or Engineering interventions 15 Response: Noted 6. Opposition for expansion 207 Response: Noted Total number of submissions received 911 Questionnaire Responses: Included in the online public consultation were a number of questions on the expansion of the 30Km/hr zones and driver behaviour & attitudes towards the introduction. Looking at the responses submitted it is clear that there is very strong support for the expansion of the zones. Page 319 Project Cost Estimate: The capital cost to implement this phase requires the installation of road signs and poles at each point where a speed limit changes as a result of this proposal being implemented. The Transportation Department has carried out an assessment of the works required so as to prepare a best estimate for the work. In preparing the cost estimate, we have endeavoured to ensure existing signage poles are utilised where appropriately located to minimise costs. The following is the cost estimate for the 4th phase of the slow zones to be implemented: 4th Phase: €400,000 Conclusion: The principle of giving the Elected Members of Local Authorities the power to make bye-laws (as a reserved function) for the purpose of applying Special Speed Limits which was established in 1994, is retained in the Road Traffic Act 2004 and introduced fundamental changes to the process of making bye-laws and the range of powers available to Local Authorities. As originally set out in the Road Traffic Act 1994, bye-laws should generally be made in respect of a Local Authority area as a whole. Dealing with proposals for specific areas or roads on an independent basis should be avoided unless it is deemed necessary or appropriate to do so, particularly on the grounds of safety. These proposed Special Speed limit Bye-Laws 2020 set out the expansion on the existing 30km/h speed limit zones in predominantly residential areas. Should these new Bye-Laws be adopted, the intention of Dublin City Council’s Transportation Department is to roll out of 30km/h speed limits in all residential areas across the local authority as a whole. The overriding principle that must inform any decision to change a default speed limit should be Road Safety, in particular, the reduction of fatal and serious road collisions. From our examination of international experiences and from an assessment of the existing 30km/h speed limit areas in Dublin City, all have recorded only positive outcomes in terms of this road safety objective. Other environmental benefits have also been recorded, such as positive feedback from residents who live within a designated 30km/h area, and their continued support for 30km/h speed limits post introduction. Based on the responses and submissions received and the strong support for the new Byelaws, it is the recommendation of the Transportation Department that the new Speed limit ByeLaws 2020 be adopted. Recommendation: At its meeting of 4th December, 2019, the Traffic and Transportation Strategic Policy Committee considered the above report and recommended the draft Dublin City Council Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020 be submitted to the City Council for adoption. Resolution: That Dublin City Council notes the contents of Report No.06/2020 and hereby resolves to make the Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws 2020 as outlined in the report.

Page 356 To the Lord Mayor and Members of Dublin City Council Report No. 25/2020 Report of the Assistant Chief Executive With reference to the proposed disposal of lands at Silloge Road, Ballymun, Dublin 11 _________________________________________________________________________ It is proposed to dispose of a site located at Silloge Road, Ballymun, Dublin 11, immediately to the south of the Ballymun Shopping Centre site and west of the Ballymun Leisure Centre for mixed use development. Part of the western edge of the site previously included residential flats which have since been demolished to allow for future development to take place. The subject site is shown outlined in red on Map Index No SM-2019-0193, a copy of which is submitted with this report. Background: Since the adoption of the Ballymun Local Area Plan (LAP) in 2017, the City Council has been actively pursuing its implementation on a number of fronts, in order to build out the vacant sites to meet the needs of the existing and future population. Examples of progress to date include:    new Lidl supermarket and associated offices, and student accommodation is currently on site and is due to open in September 2020 (Site 4); 50 co-operative housing units are under construction or in planning on Sites 21-23 and new Decathlon store, the first in the South of Ireland, is due to open next Spring, on the site beside IKEA. Progress is also being made in the provision of new infrastructure in Ballymun. The construction of Silloge Avenue for example, opens up both a new link to Main Street and the adjoining sites for affordable housing. The new junction at Hampton Wood is also commencing next year providing a new connection between Ballymun and the ‘new’ residential areas of Lanesborough, Mayeston and Hampton Wood. The LAP has also been successful in ensuring the proposed new Metrolink runs underground (rather than along Main Street as previously proposed) with new stations at Northwood and the Ballymun Shopping Centre Site servicing the area. In relation to the new GAA facility at site 31, the LAP team have engaged consultants who are due to report on how the recreational, employment and / or residential uses can be accommodated on this key site. The Shopping Centre Site (No.1) is currently being demolished affording opportunities for a major new retail and residential mixed use hub at the centre of Ballymun, integrated with the new Metro station. As part of the growing confidence in Ballymun, successful retail / restaurants / cultural uses need mixed tenure neighbourhoods and a surrounding catchment of people to support them (as highlighted in the ‘Retail Study’ which was prepared in tandem with the LAP). Page 357 The bringing forward of Site No. 2, to the south of the Shopping Centre is thus crucial to further increase confidence in the regeneration of Ballymun and to build on the progress made to date on implementing the LAP. Site no. 2 went out to tender recently and the preferred bid, for a mixed use scheme, comprising 301 apartments, 40 senior citizens homes, a crèche and community open space fully accords with the principles of the LAP. The scheme makes optimum use of the site and will contribute hugely to the liveability and vitality of the locality. It will also complete a key vacant site to the south of the shopping centre, to the west of the Leisure Centre and north of Gateway Crescent. In addition to the above, there are a number of other developments which the Council is promoting for Ballymun (set out below) that will further improve the mix of house types, tenures, units and designs available in the area; a key aim of the Local Area Plan:  Site nos. 12 & 14: Affordable Housing - The City Council has secured funding under the ‘Serviced Sites Fund’ for two sites in Ballymun in Silloge and Balbutcher from the Dept.of Housing, Planning and Local Government to deliver Affordable Housing. The two sites will generate circa 157 affordable units; predominately houses – family and starter homes, with some apartments and duplexes. - The City Council held a workshop with prospective builders/developers on the 7th November to advance the projects and discuss pertinent issues such as procurement and planning etc.  Site no. 6: Cost Rental - Expressions of interest have been sought from the Approved Housing Bodies protocol to deliver cost rental on this site. - Three submissions have been received and will now be reviewed by the Council.  Site No 10: PPP for Social Housing DHPLG has provisionally approved the development of circa 100 units on the Shangan site as part of Bundle 3 (subject to detailed design & full financial appraisal of the Bundle 3 proposal). The site selection process for Bundle 3 is not fully finalised but indications are that the department is favourably disposed to including Site No.10. It is in this overall strategic context, under the auspices of the statutory Local Area Plan that the Council is aiming to deliver a wide range of new housing in the area for all the different segments of the housing market (owner occupiers, renters, students, starter home etc.). The development of site No. 2 and the future development sites have the potential to provide a significant increase in residential population, assisting in generating the critical mass of population to sustain social and community services, business and public transport. Winterbrook Homes (Silloge) Limited, was selected as the preferred bidder and it is proposed to dispose of this site to Winterbrook Homes (Silloge) Limited subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. That the subject site comprises an area of 3.38 acres and is shown outlined in red on attached Map Index No. SM-2019-0193. 2.

The second comprehensive planning application, if it arises, must be lodged within 12 (twelve) weeks of the date of the Planning Authority’s final decision. Page 359 The proposed purchaser (acting reasonably) shall be obliged to confirm in writing to the Council within 40 (forty) days of the date of final grant, that a planning permission received from the Planning Authority or An Bord Pleanala is acceptable or not to them. If a planning permission is notified to the Council as being acceptable, building works under a Building Licence Agreement must commence no later than 9 (nine) months from the date of such notification. 8. That in the event that the Planning Authority or An Bord Pleanala refuses permission for the proposed development, or the proposed purchaser (acting reasonably) deems a planning permission to be unacceptable for stated reasons, the Council and/or proposed purchaser shall have the right to rescind the contract on giving not less than 7 days notice in writing to the other party in which case all monies received will be returned, without the payment of interest. 9. That the proposed purchaser will be responsible for all costs in relation to the planning process. 10.

By way of Indenture of Lease dated 27th November 1978 the property known as No. 50 Stella Gardens (Aikenhead Terrace) Irishtown, Dublin 4 was demised by Dublin City Council to Mary and Cecelia Lester for a term of 150 years from 14th June 1976 subject to an annual rent of £0.05p. In 1978 the applicants acquired the freehold for No. 50 Stella Gardens via a Transfer Order from the Housing Department. The plot adjacent to No. 50 Stella Gardens, shown outlined in red and shaded pink on Map Index No. 10424 was also demised by Dublin City Council to Mary and Cecelia Lester in consideration of the sum of £150 and a yearly rent of £0.05p if demanded, for the term of 150 years from 14th June 1976. The applicants now wish to acquire the freehold for this plot adjacent to their property at No. 50 Stella Gardens. The Law Department has confirmed that the applicants do not have a statutory entitlement to purchase of the freehold in this plot in accordance with the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) No.2 Act 1978. Negotiations were entered into with the Chief Valuer based on a nonentitlement basis. Accordingly it is proposed to dispose of the Council’s freehold interest in the plot adjacent to 50 Stella Gardens (Aikenhead Terrace) Irishtown, Dublin 4 shown outlined in red and shaded pink on Map Index No. 10424 subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. That Dublin City Council holds the Fee Simple Interest in the property. That the property is currently held under Indenture of a Lease dated 27th January 1978 to Mary Lester and Cecelia Lester for a term of 150 years, effective 14th June 1976. That the disposal price for the City Council’s interest shall be the sum of €12,000 (twelve thousand euro), plus VAT if applicable. That the applicant shall be prepared to pay all rent, rates and charges outstanding up to and including the date of sale. That the applicant shall pay the City Council’s Valuer’s fees of €800 plus VAT and legal costs of transfer plus VAT. The property proposed to be disposed of is City Estate property.

I .- To the Lord Mayor and Members of Dublin City Council Report No. 23/2020 Report of the Executive Manager With reference to the proposed grant of a further licence of the crèche facility at Pearse Memorial Park, Windmill Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12. Council Report No. 328 of 2019 which was assented to by the Dublin City Council at its monthly meeting held on 4th November 2019, approved terms and conditions for the grant of a further 5 year licence commencing no later than 14th April 2020 of the creche facility at Pearse Memorial Park, Windmill Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12 which is shown outlined in red on Map Index SM2011-0053 and coloured pink and grey on Map number 201 to Dublin 12 Childcare Consortium CLG, for use solely as a creche. Dublin 12 Childcare Consortium CLG has advised that it has come to light that in order for them to obtain loan funding in respect of the construction of the extension to the building a licence term of 5 years is considered to be too short. Dublin City Council is agreeable to a longer term and accordingly it is proposed to proceed with the grant of licence subject to the terms and conditions already agreed but that the licence term will be increased from 5 to 10 years. Accordingly it is proposed that Council Report No. 328 of 2019 be amended insofar as it relates to the term of the licence and to grant the licence for a term of ten years commencing no later than 14th April 2020. The property proposed to be licensed was acquired from the Imperial Tobacco Company Limited in 1947. The proposed disposal shall be subject to such conditions as to title to be furnished as the Law Agent in her discretion shall stipulate. No agreement enforceable at law is created or intended to be created until an exchange of contracts has taken place. This proposal was approved by the South East Area Committee at its meeting on the 9th December 2019.

The subject property is outlined red on attached Map Index SM-2019-1231. The upper floor of No. 78 and the adjoining premises No. 77/77A The Coombe are being renovated by Housing and Residential Services to provide a 1 x 4-bedroom and 1 x 1-bedroom units of social housing accommodation. As a result of the renovation works the footprint of the area leased to Drunken Apple Woman Limited will be altered. It is not possible to vary the existing lease to reflect the changed area footprint but the lessee is agreeable to surrender the residue of the lease in return for the grant of a new longer lease. Drunken Apple Woman Limited successfully operates a bookshop at the premises and has proven to be a very good lessee. In view of this and the fact that significant disturbance will be caused to the lessee during the renovation, including the necessity to cease trading for a period of time, Dublin City Council is prepared to consider the grant of a new lease subject to statutory approval being granted. The Chief Valuer has reported that agreement has been reached with Daly Lynch Crowe & Morris Solicitors, legal representatives for Drunken Apple Woman Ltd, and is prepared to recommend the grant of a new lease subject to the following terms and conditions which he considers to be fair and reasonable: 1.

That the Lessee will surrender the existing Short Term Business Letting and Dublin City Council will grant a ten year lease of the subject property effective from the earliest possible date. 3. That the new lease shall be for a term of ten years at a rent of €3,000 (three thousand euro) per annum on an internal repair and insuring basis, with a Rent Review at the end of year five linked to increases in the Consumer Price Index. 4. That the new lease shall be in respect of a revised area footprint as shown outlined in red on Map Index No. SM-2019-1231. 5. The arrangement relating to the rent review relates to this proposed ten year lease only. Page 383 6. That the rent of €3,000 (three thousand euro) per annum will continue to apply until the first rent review and that the rent shall be payable quarterly in advance by direct debit. 7.

That a commencement date for the works shall be agreed between the parties with two weeks’ notice. (a) If the above works overrun (beyond the agreed 4 week period), the Council will pay compensation to the Lessee of €1,000 (one thousand euro) per week in full and final settlement for the Lessee’s cooperation until the unit is made available. (b) That the Lessee will be granted a 4 week rent free period for the works period. There will be no compensation or reduction in rates liability for the works period. 8. That the Council shall be prepared to compensate for the Lessee’s reasonable costs incurred during the works period limited to the removal and storage of the contents/stock only. That the Council will accept no responsibility for any claims for losses that may be incurred during the removal and storage period of the contents/stock. That the Lessee’s fixtures/fittings (only) remaining within the unit during the works period will be re-instated to their original condition as required. The photographical schedule of the fixtures / fittings must be agreed between the parties in advance. 9. That the grant of a new lease shall be subject to the proposed Lessee signing a Deed of Renunciation, renouncing any rights under Landlord and Tenant Legislation. 10. That the subject premises shall be used solely as a bookshop and also used for literature/book related community events and meetings. 11. That the proposed Lessee shall be responsible for all outgoings, including rates, taxes, utilities that may become payable and indemnify Dublin City Council against all outgoings. 12. That the proposed Lessee shall not sell, assign, sub-let, sub-demise, sub-divide, alienate or part with the possession of the demise or any part thereof without the prior written consent under seal of Dublin City Council. That any purchaser, assignee or sublessee must be of good financial standing. Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Council. 13. That the proposed Lessee shall obtain Public Liability Insurance indemnifying Dublin City Council in the sum of €6.5m for any one incident and Employers Liability Insurance of €13m, if applicable and shall provide proof of such insurances to Dublin City Council on request. 14. That the Council shall be prepared to contribute a sum of €3,000 (three thousand euro) in full and final settlement for the Lessee’s legal cost incurred in this regard. 15. That the proposed Lessee shall be liable for the payment of stamp duty, VAT or any other statutory cost which may arise on the creation of the new lease.

Ordnance Survey! Ireland. AH rig is reserved. Licence Number 2011 City Council To the Lord Mayor and Members of Dublin City Council Report No. 31/2020 Report of the Chief Executive Proposed Site/Property Disposals to Fund the Capital Programme 2020 to 2022 I refer to my report, No. 321/2019, to the December City Council meeting in which I set out the three year programme for capital projects proposed by the Council having regard to the availability of resources. In that report I advised Elected Members that a significant number of projects, especially projects in the Culture, Recreation & Amenity programme area, will require funding from the disposal of City Council sites/properties if they are to proceed. There are a number of sites/properties in Council ownership that I am proposing to dispose of over the period 2020 to 2022, to meet the funding deficit in the Capital Programme. The majority of the sites have lain idle for many years and detract to a serious degree from their surrounding areas. The sites/properties are, in general, zoned for mixed use development which includes residential development. When developed these sites will act as catalysts for regeneration and enhance the built environment in the areas in which they are located. I am conscious that Elected Members have a preference to develop social housing on Council owned lands that are suitably zoned. As set out in the City Development Plan 2016-2022, the Council is also committed to promoting tenure diversity. Having regard to the fact that there are high concentrations of social housing in close proximity to many of the sites, I do not consider that it is appropriate to use these sites for social housing, apart from the fact that the use of the sites for this purpose by the City Council will not generate funding for Capital Programme projects. The attached schedule gives an indicative timeframe for placing these properties on the market. The sequence may change as market conditions change or due to other factors affecting the individual sites in question. The schedule also provides a rationale as to why the property is not generally considered suitable for development for social/affordable housing purposes. Apart from the sites listed on the attached schedule there will also be a need to dispose of a number of depot sites as part of the Depot Consolidation project and the development of the proposed new North City Operations Depot in Ballymun. These depot sites were identified in my report on the Capital Programme 2020 to 2022 (No 321/2019). The intention, as I indicated in that report, is to dispose of most of these sites to Approved Housing Bodies for the development of social and affordable housing. Market conditions are very favourable at the moment. Placing sites on the open market in the near future will ensure that the Council optimises its return, thus securing the necessary monies required to fund the Capital Programme. The capital premium offered for the purchase of the sites is generally paid on a phased basis - a percentage on signing contracts, a further percentage at planning or going on site stage, and the balance on transfer of title. It usually takes a number of years before the final payment is made. It is therefore important that the Council initiates a programme of site disposals, so that it will have a steady stream of monies coming in to fund much needed social infrastructure projects included in the Capital Programme. Accordingly, I attach for your consideration, a strategy for disposing of a number of sites over the next three years. This list is not definitive and it may be added to. The monies received will fund Page 393 various projects as indicated in the document. As with the list of sites to be sold, the list of projects may also be subject to change as other funding sources may become available so that projects are advanced, allowing them to commence earlier than expected. I am asking the City Council to note this report. Each individual site/property disposal will be subject to a separate report to the Council for approval by the City Council under the section 183 process. Owen P.

Page 402 Water Framework Directive (WDF) Greenways and River Flood Protection DCC is working to integrate a number of projects to ensure that the opportunities to meets DCC’s WFD obligation of achieving “good” status for each river by 2027 at the latest are maximised. Current examples are:   Consultants have been appointed by DCC to deal with flood risk across the DCC and SDCC sections of The River Camac and this is being integrated into a desire to “deculvert” this over engineered river where possible so that it can, over time, be restored to a natural state. The project will also involve identifying and remedying urban pollution sources, where possible. This is also being done in conjunction with an existing Greenway proposal and also in tandem with Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) funded projects in the area. The River Santry where DCC is preparing a brief to engage consultants as part of a URDF funded project to restore the river to a more natural state, and investigate and remedy sources of pollution. Again this work is being designed in conjunction with an existing Santry River Greenway Project. Surface Water and Pluvial (Rainfall) Flood Risk Management It has become increasingly apparent that, as a result of climate change, rainfall patterns in Dublin have changed from the previous low intensity long duration type rain to shorter and far more intensive rainfall events. The drainage infrastructure was not designed to deal with this type of rainfall and, as a result, there have been a number of localised flood events in recent months. Arising from work initiated by the DCC Surface Water and WFD teams in close liaison with the DCC Climate Change Action Plan team, it has been agreed that DCC should progress a number of nature based water retention measures using a sustainable urban design approach at different locations across the City. These will have the dual effect of reducing the rate of surface water runoff into sewers, thus reducing the risk of downstream flooding, as well as improving the water quality of that runoff through percolating the runoff through natural media with a green infrastructure approach. In recent months, the WFD / Surface Water team has continued to liaise with their colleagues in E&T Roads, in the Parks Department and in the City Architect’s Office to facilitate the implementation of this approach in particular public realm projects that are at design stage. Bathing Waters Dublin City Council has appointed a Senior Engineer to lead a joint effort with our colleagues in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown to deal with the long-standing problems regarding the quality of the bathing waters in the south city area. DCC is also working in close liaison with the EPA, the HSE, and the DHPLG and with Irish Water in relation to this matter. A Bathing Water Plan for the area will be prepared in early 2020. Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) update The Dublin CARO participated as an expert in the Dáil Na Nóg event in the Dáil on Saturday November 23rd and has been meeting with of the Comhairle Na Nóg groups in Dublin. The CARO offices worked with colleagues in Smart Dublin, DCC Waste and Drainage sections in submitting an application to the Climathon City Awards under the Climate KIC organisation. Page 403 The CARO assisted the Irish Environmental Network (IEN) in a Climate Action and Biodiversity Action Workshop for elected officials on Dec 4th in Wood Quay. CARO organised a training workshop for Planners and Climate Action teams in Dublin LAs on the subject of Strategic Environmental Assessment and Appropriate assessment in terms of the implementation of CCAPs in Word Quay onDecember 10th. Dublin CARO presented to the new Climate Change, Environment and Energy Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) on 27th November where they gave an overview of - the work programme of the CARO, actions arising from the Climate Action Plan 2019, regional climate actions and the Dublin Climate Change Action Plans. The CAROs will be represented at upcoming sectoral meetings led by Government Departments on how the Sectoral Climate Adaptation will be implemented and what actions from sectoral climate adaptation plans are relevant on LAs activities and work areas. Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit DCC has signed an MOU with the Dublin Port Company to cooperate on air quality monitoring in Dublin Port. The first multi pollutant monitoring station in Dublin Port is now due for commissioning during January 2020. DCC has completed the commissioning of a number of combined ambient air quality and noise monitoring stations around the city and is finalising the launch of a new website to coordinate the dissemination of air and noise data in real time to the public. The first meeting of the Task Force convened by the Minister for Communications, Climate Change Action and Environment was held on 11 December 2019. This initial meeting concentrated on finalising the terms of reference and work schedule for the Task Force. This Task Force, comprising of government and state agencies, as well as local authorities will consider how to address the threat posed by unacceptably high levels of nitrogen dioxide levels in the Dublin region. A working group within Dublin City Council, consisting of elected members and officials will be convened to feed DCC policy and position into the deliberations of the Task Force. Preparations for the next round of noise mapping and development of noise action plans under the Environmental Noise Directive have commenced with a series of workshops and meetings between the various local authorities and other stakeholders. Sustainable Mobility Communications and Promotion Walk with Us We had our largest ever attendance at our November ‘Walk with Us’ tour. Guided by James Madigan, tour guide and local historian and events manager with the Liberties Cultural Association, the walk followed the medieval walls of Dublin and talked about rebellion, superstitions, philanthropy and built heritage. Unfortunately our December walk, due to take Page 404 place on December 10th was cancelled due to high winds and rain. The series will recommence in spring 2020. BYCS Cycle Labs Staff from various sections of DCC Transportation Department attended the BYCS Lab (Amsterdam-based social enterprise who delivered the Pop-up cycle labs at CCD and TCD during Velo-city) hosted in Trinity College on November 27th. The Lab used large-scale maps to invite conversation on current challenges and potential solutions to transportation in the city. Healthy Trinity and BYCS will collaborate with the Sustainable Mobility & Projects Division in developing community engagement strategies. Safe routes to schools An internal focus group has been set up to devise a strategy to present to Councillors on Safe Routes to School. This is an action highlighted in the Dublin Agreement. The Communications & Promotion Unit are developing a closer working relationship with Green Schools as part of this project. Active Mobility Action Plan Work will commence in early 2020 on a new cycle and walking action plan. The purpose of the plan is to create a clear plan of action to support Dublin’s transition to an active travel city. The plan will be informed by workshops undertaken with Councillors and local communities, which will give voice to issues faced in the current transportation infrastructure, culture and behaviour and seek solutions to create space for more active modes of transport to thrive. Handshake Symposium The Handshake project brings thirteen European cities together with established cycling cities providing mentoring and expert advice to future cycling cities to support their development. Amsterdam is the allocated Dublin Mentor and as part of this project, a symposium will take place in Dublin in April 2020. The Dublin team is working closely with Amsterdam to identify and invite the most relevant Amsterdam Cycling experts to attend the symposium – which will provide the opportunity to address some of the cycling challenges facing Dublin.

It also includes similar activity by Approved Housing Bodies (AHB’s). Separate targets are set for the Housing Assistance Payment Scheme (HAP). The following table gives details of the targets and delivery for the first year of this programme (2018): Programmes Target Delivery +_ New Build – DCC 271 264 -7 New Builds – AHB’s 403 282 -121 Part V 71 105 +34 *Voids Restored by DCC 300 200 -100 Sub Total Build/Delivery 1,045 851 -194 Long Term Leasing 440 61 -379 Acquisitions 278 545 +267 Total Target/Delivery 2018 1,763 1,457 -306 HAP Tenancies (Homeless) 585 1,186 +601 ** HAP Tenancies (Mainstream) ***HAP Tenancies (Rent Supplement/Transfer) Total HAP 2,040 1,023 -1,017 2,068 302 -1,766 4,693 2,511 -2,182 Total Output 6,456 3,968 -2488 500 671 +171 Additional Voids Restored 81% 83% 61% Notes: *Actual voids restored by DCC in 2018 was 871, however this figure was originally capped in respect of Re-Building Ireland by the Department at 300 and later in the year at 200. In previous years Dublin City Council counted all restored voids as completions. ** This activity is largely demand led and outside our control. ***This activity refers to existing tenancies under the Rent Supplement Scheme who are to transfer over to HAP, this is led by the Department of Social Protection and progress has been slow, and is largely outside DCC control. There was a further over 900 Homeless HAP tenancies created by the DRHE/DCC in 2018 but they are located in the three Dublin Local Authority areas and are part of their output figures. The projected delivery for the complete (2018-2021) programme is: Page 434 Programmes 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total New Build – DCC 264 92 526 1,870 2,752 New Build – AHB’s 282 359 221 607 1,469 Part V 105 194 400 400 1,099 Voids Restored by DCC 200 58 150 150 558 Long Term Leasing 61 155 400 400 1,016 Acquisitions 545 555 550 550 2,200 Total Delivery Target HAP Tenancies (Homeless) 1,457 1,763 1,186 1,413 1,624 2,100 2,247 3,977 2,100 2,100 9,094 9,094 7,486 HAP Tenancies (Mainstream) 1,023 826 780 825 3,454 HAP Tenancies (Rent Supplement) Total HAP Output Target Total Social Housing Output Target Additional Voids Restored – estimated 302 624 780 825 2,531 2,511 4,693 3,968 6,456 671 3,550 3,545 4,963 5,169 942 3,660 3,750 13,471 5,907 7,727 22,565 650 650 2,913 I am confident that this challenging overall target of 9,094 will be achieved with the support of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.

M.MD 27th Nov.2019 Dublin City Council expresses deep concern at the depth of the drug crisis in Dublin. Global opium and cocaine production continues to rise and impacts on communities across Dublin. Addiction services are overstretched and forced to respond to an increasingly chaotic drug problem. We call on the Government to reinstate funding for Local Drug & Alcohol Task Forces to 2008 level. 1) Councillor Daithí Doolan 2) Councillor Rebecca Moynihan Submitted: 4th June 2019 This City Council asks that the Chief Executive to begin the process of taking the Iveagh Markets back into the full control of Dublin City Council. The terms of the lease granted to Mr Keane, first in 1997 and then again in 2004 under report number 218/2004 have been frustrated by the actions of the developer. Report number 218/2004 clause 7 states that "Mr Keane or his nominee shall, within 36 months of the execution of the Agreement for Lease, have completed the redevelopment work on the market buildings and the construction of the hotel in the case of delay due to strikes, lockouts or any other circumstances outside the control of Mr Keane or his nominee. Such longer period if required to be agreed with Dublin City Council at the time the delay occurs. Mr Keane or his nominee shall not use the premises for any purpose other than redevelopment as a commercial market and the construction of a hotel". The terms of this extension of the lease have not been met and so Dublin City Council should begin the process to transfer the markets back into their full control with a view to developing the Iveagh Market. Submitted: 5th June 2019 Amended: 5th November 2019 That this Council agrees to establish a Transport Working Group to actively engage with NTA Bus Connects and Bus Corridor proposals which impact city and suburb residential roads, trees, protected structures, cycle routes and traffic systems. The Working Group should include DCC managers, engineers, conservation officers, councillors. This is not a Transport SPC issue as it covers housing and environment. 3) Councillor Deirdre Conroy 4) Councillor Joe Costello Submitted: 5th June 2019 That a moratorium be placed on the sale of public lands in the ownership of Dublin City Council while the housing crisis remains. 5) Councillor Mary Fitzpatrick Submitted: 5th June 2019 The elected members of Dublin City Council note with disappointment the lack of progress with the redevelopment of Phibsborough Shopping Centre. We call on the City Manager to invite the developers of the Shopping Center, Tesco, Dalymount Stadium and City Council Development office to meet and identify a solution to progress and commence redevelopment of this prime urban site without any further delay. Submitted: 5th June 2019 Replaced: 14th October 2019 We, as members of Dublin City Council, fully support the proposal that the new Children’s Hospital should be named after Dr. Kathleen Lynn. We urge your Board of the new hospital therefore to adopt this name and note that the previous name put forward, the Phoenix Children’s Hospital has been withdrawn for legal reasons. We believe that the most appropriate name for the new hospital should be in 6) Councillor Nial Ring Page 465 honour of Dr. Kathleen Lynn, a pioneering medical doctor who worked tirelessly for decades for the health and well-being of the children of Dublin and Ireland. Dr. Kathleen Lynn established St. Ultan’s Children’s Hospital to care for the children of the poor of Dublin. She and her dedicated co-workers undoubtedly saved the lives of thousands of children. Kathleen’s Lynn’s medical and social work was in line with her deep patriotism which saw her active during the 1913 Lockout and as chief medical officer of the Irish Citizen Army. In that capacity she served in the 1916 Rising in our City Hall, where she attended the dying ICA Captain Seán Connolly, one of the first casualties of the Rising. We believe that the name St. Ultan’s National Children’s Hospital would send out a signal that the new hospital is in the best traditions of Irish medical and social care, as well as honouring a great Irishwoman who continues to inspire today. The members also note that the 1916 Relatives Association passed a similar motion at its 2017 AGM. Submitted: 5th June 2019 Replaced: 25th October 2019 That this council agrees to establish a “Dublin City Youth Council” to give a voice to young people on municipal matters and to give them the opportunity to engage with public matters. This new council authority would hold an advisory role to DCC. In establishing a City Youth Council, DCC would recognise young people’s capacity to express opinions and to participate in the improvement of the city as a whole. This youth council would be the opportunity for elected councillors, DCC and the youth to exchange and to share ideas and information on common council matters.

Submitted: 19th June 2019 Replaced: 12th November 2019 That Dublin City Council calls on the Government to immediately remove funding of €16.8m to the Greyhound Industry and calls for a complete ban on racing. 6,000 Dogs are killed inhumanly every year in Ireland as well as many more who suffer horrific abuse. In no way should this practice be tolerated and certainly not at the expense of tax payers. 12) Councillor Noeleen Reilly Page 466 13) Councillor Claire Byrne Submitted: 19th June 2019 That this Council agrees to implement a Night Mayor for Dublin City as soon as possible, which is a key cultural objective of the new Dublin City Agreement. 14) Councillor Keith Connolly Submitted: 19th June 2019 That Dublin City Council reviews the current grass cutting contract with a view to improving the substandard work being carried out at present. 15) Councillor James Geoghegan Submitted: 19th June 2019 That this Council welcomes and supports the full implementation of ‘Climate Action Plan 2019’, in particular those actions which concern Local Authorities.

We know children benefit from taking part in arts, cultural and community activities, but for many children, these are simply too expensive. Less than half of nineyear-old children and one-third of 13 year olds take part in a cultural class or club (such as dance, drama and music) outside school time. Reducing/restricting planning for fast food outlets building or advertising near schools in line with the National Obesity Policy and reducing the number of vending machines selling confectionary or sugary drinks in public spaces. (taking into account the appropriateness and proposed location of the site in line with 2013 guidelines for local area plans). One in four of our children experience obesity or overweight. We know there is a link between availability of fast food outlets and obesity and yet three quarters of Irish schools have at least one fast food outlet within one kilometre. We want to create healthy, familyfriendly communities by reducing further building or advertising of this kind. 21) Councillor Kevin Donoghue Submitted: 21st August 2019 That this council notes a recent request by developers to allow for delivery of co-living units under the minimum 12 m/sq outlined in planning guidelines. Page 467 This council is wholly opposed to any such request and calls on the Planning Department of Dublin City Council to be cognisant of the Minister's guidelines on co-living. There should be no co-living units below the guidelines. Additionally we need to ensure that there is not an over-supply of co-living units in the city as it would be detrimental to the development of sustainable communities. Submitted: 21st August 2019 Replaced: 13th December 2019 Dublin City Council recognises the limited 1 bed units available across the city for single people and couples without children seeking both social housing and private rental/purchase. Dublin City Council seeks that a report be produced to identify how the Dublin City Development Plan and national legislation be varied/amended to allow for a greater proportion of one bed units to be provided in all developments going forward 22) Councillor Alison Gilliland Submitted: 23rd September 2019 23) Councillor Mannix Flynn That this meeting of DCC calls on the Lord Mayor of Dublin to withdraw and desist from being patron of the Artane School of Music/Artane Band. Reasons: The Patron of the Artane School of Music is Patron of the Artane Band. It is widely documented in State inquiries the level of institutional abuse child rape and torture that took place in Artane Industrial School itself and in particular within the Artane Boys Band. Indeed, it was in the former band room, within the institutions that many suffered their trauma. There is no disconnect between the Artane Band, the Artane School of Music and the former residential institution that was run by the Christian Brothers, the Artane Industrial School. It is not appropriate that the office of the Lord Mayor would be associated with such a legacy with such a history and indeed, this will bring Dublin City Council and the office of Lord Mayor into disrepute. For many who are still alive and their families, the Artane Band in all its manifestations including the Artane School of Music, its symbols and uniform are symbols of terror and trigger deep trauma to this very day. With such campaigns that are now in existence like #metoo with such advances in the awareness of child abuse and child protection and the treatment of traumatic memory there is no reason why Dublin City Council or the office of the Lord Mayor should give official sanction to what is still deeply hurtful and painful for the many of us who suffered child sexual abuse at the hands of the Christian Brothers and others in the residential institutions that they managed. We who went through this, have to deal with it on a daily basis. It is deeply hurtful for us to see the Artane uniform, the Artane symbols, the Artane Band which are still under the control of the Christian brothers, rolled out on National Media without any regard for those of us who are alive and our feelings. This is wrong and needs to stop. Dublin city council itself under its former title of Dublin Corporation was complicit and involved in the incarceration of thousands of children in residential institutions such as Artane, Letterfrack, Daingean under the guise of the non-attendance of school act. In recent times the Council publicly apologised that in itself was a great step in the process of healing. To stand down the patronage of the Artane School of Music, Artane Band is the only option for Dublin City Council otherwise their apology is simply hollow words. Page 468 It is time for disassociation with all symbols and manifestations of terror and abuse. 24) Councillor John Lyons Submitted: 23rd September 2019 The elected members of this city council call on national government to include in this year’s Dublin City Council Capital Programme the necessary central exchequer funding to ensure that the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter, Dublin City Council’s major flagship civic development, proceeds in its entirety as envisioned in the planning permission granted by An Bord Pleanala in May of this year, namely the entire 11,000m2 development comprising a new city library, a range of cultural, education, musical and exhibition spaces and the enhancement of the public realm. 25) Councillor Cieran Perry Submitted: 25th September 2019 That this council calls on management to ensure there are official play areas for children living in emergency accommodation. Obviously the ideal solution is to relocate those in such unsuitable accommodation to proper homes but the slow exit of families from emergency accommodation requires extra resources to be targeted at children in this predicament. The immense health and stress related issues affecting families living in such accommodation are exacerbated by a lack of designated play areas. Some hotels and hostels ban children from the public areas restricting them to their already cramped living areas. Children deserve better. 26) Councillor Rachel Batten Submitted: 22nd October 2019 I move this motion and ask that this Council would commit by 2024 that all new social and affordable developments will accommodate those with mobility issues and they commit to the minimum of 7% of all developments be made available for those that have mobility needs so that adults with mobility needs can live independently. The Council will also require that any development that is going out to public tender will have a requirement for at least 7% of those unit be suitable for those with mobility issues. 27) Councillor Caroline Conroy Submitted: 23rd October 2019 To ask the Manager can we put CCTV in Parks in Dublin North West Area in particular, Albert College, Griffith Park due to the high number of robberies with assaults of bikes from young people by gangs with weapons. The community are feeling very much under threat entering parks. 28) Councillor Lawrence Hemmings Submitted: 23rd October 2019 That this Council would write to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government requesting an independent review of the Local Authority housing delivery process. The review should examine the different stages in the process and recommend any efficiencies that could be made. If the process can be improved Local Authorities will be able to hasten the building public housing, reduce the housing list and most importantly ensure that homes are provided to people in acute need. Councillor Michael Pidgeon Submitted: 20th November 2019 29) That Dublin City Council introduce minimum driver visibility standards for heavy goods and construction vehicles in order to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. Page 469 30) Councillor Vincent Jackson Submitted: 11th December 2019 That Dublin City Council Management see the employment & enhancement of Community Development Staff working on the ground across the City of Dublin as essential tool in developing the full capacity of our communities, that staff numbers be increased to ensure we have sufficient staff to work with & motivate various voluntary groups on the ground. I look upon areas and see when we have good staff the multiplier effect this has on the ground, these effort must be fostered going forward and sufficient resources made available for the community development staff. 31) Councillor Deirdre Heney Submitted: 13th December 2019 That Dublin City Council would offer/make available a small/suitable type tree specimen to householders living in areas where roadside planting is unsuitable (due to narrowness of road/footpath such as “The Clans” in Donnycarney) to plant on their own property which planting residents would contribute positively to the lack of greenery in such localities Page 470
