CITYWIDE INITATIVES RUGBY DEVELOPMENT OFFICER CITY WIDE INITATIVE Dublin City Cup: The annual DCC cup is scheduled for Wednesday the 7th of May in Donnybrook stadium; the cup is DCC team of competent young rugby players from non- traditional rugby schools against a traditional rugby playing school. The competition has been set up to facilitate the growth of the sport of the Dublin City region and is seen as a stepping stone for teams into the Development cups. All of the teams have undertaken a period of preparation, with most participating in localised training sessions and blitzes pre-Christmas. The hope from the competition is that more of the players will go to further their rugby experience by playing in clubs and the local clubs will be invited to the matches to speak to the players. The ethos of rugby has been very much in evidence thus far, with all schools playing with discipline and fairness through were physical encounters. Other programmes that are up and coming in the DCC area are the DCC blitz which will take place in May with approximately 400 kids that have been coached through 6 week blocks of tag rugby. Also in mid May, will be the culmination of the Dublinia u14 team, were a group of kids, again from non traditional areas will play against a known rugby school, having participated in 8 weeks of coaching by Leinster Community Rugby Officers. SPORT AND RECREATION & SPORT DEVELOPMENT - CITYWIDE INITATIVES Lord Mayor 5 Alive Challenge Following on from last years success of the Lord Mayor 5 Alive Challenge, Lord Mayor Oisín Quinn agreed the initiative was well worth rolling out again in 2014.

FAIRVIEW PARK PAVILLION

Fairview Park Pavilion is currently used by Sheriff YC (7 soccer teams), Belvedere FC (16 soccer teams), St. Josephs O’ Connell Boys (6 GAA teams) and St. Josephs East Wall (7 soccer teams). A number of other clubs use pitches within the park but did not express an interest in using the pavilion for the 2013/ 2014 season (They include St. Vincents GAA, Scoil Uí Chonaill and Marino FC). The changing facilities are predominantly used by clubs for their weekend fixtures. The changing facilities are also used for midweek fixtures (where applicable).

For the 2013/14 season clubs were charged €200 per changing room for use of changing rooms. This charge will continue for the 2014/2015 season. The charge is used as a contribution towards insurance, utilities, security and general maintenance of the building. Application forms for both the use of pitches and pavilion are due to be issued to clubs shortly for the 2014/2015 season. They will be offered under the one permit in order to get clubs to use the changing facilities available. It is noted that the occupancy rate during daytime (midweek) is currently low. To address this, local schools and youth groups will also be written to for similar expressions of interest under the same criteria as club access. Dublin City Council is also considering the development of a Café within the pavilion to increase footfall through this area.

Ref: MR/00593/2014 Date: 12thMay 2014

The Chairman and Members of North Central Area Committee.

With reference to a proposal to extinguish the Public Right of Way over underpass at Oscar Traynor Road, Northside Shopping Centre.

Proposal A request to have the public right of way extinguished over the underpass at Oscar Traynor Road, Northside Shopping Centre was received from N1 Property Developments Limited. The extent of the proposed extinguishment is shown on Drawing No R.M. 26252 (copy attached). The North Central Area Committee at its meeting on 18th November, 2013, agreed to initiate the statutory procedures to extinguish the Public Right of Way over the above area.

Statutory Requirement By public advertisement on 21st November, 2013 representations or objections were invited by 6th January, 2014. No residential objections were received within this period.

Service Checks A service check was carried out and the following were received:

Drainage and Waste Water Services Division There is a 300mm pipeline and a manhole located within the underpass. The developer has given commitment that a 900mm steel door will be included in the reinforced concrete wall to which Drainage and Waste Water Services Division will be given a key in order to facilitate access.

Gardai, Traffic “While there is no objection from a traffic point of view to the extinguishing of this right of way, the issue of pedestrian safety needs careful consideration and liaison should take place with the DTU, DMR North”.

Parks “The proposal to close the right of way by backfilling and closing the underpass will have significant drainage implications.

The walk ways and grassed area south of the underpass drain towards a manhole located mid way along the underpass which is then connected to a manhole located on Oscar Traynor Road, approximately 75M west of the underpass. Blocking off and backfilling the underpass would effectively prevent access to the manhole located in the underpass and would prevent the City Council dealing with flooding in the park land area directly adjacent to the underpass.”

31

The applicant has agreed to meet the requirements of Parks by provision of a steel door to give drain access. Additionally the provision of a reinforced and rendered concrete wall on the south side of the Oscar Traynor Road along with appropriate landscaping highlighted by Parks would meet the requirements outlined by Parks.

Roads Maintenance, DCC “Recommended by Parks Department that the proposed method of closure would be by way of reinforced concrete wall and not “a rendered block wall” at the park entrance, due to the risk of proposed block wall being vandalised and a long term maintenance issue”.

UPC “UPC does not have services within the area of the proposal, however we do have underground services in the pavement above the underpass and that the services indicated contains live fibre, transmitting data traffic of a highly sensitive nature”. Any work to be carried out in the vicinity of this ducting will necessitate that a UPC Plant Protection Officer be present during the work.

Recommendation I recommend that the Committee approve the extinguishment of the public right of way over the area as shown on Drawing No. R.M. 26252 for consideration later by the City Council.

Changes to Area Services in Kilbarrack

In 2011 the public counter service was removed from the Kilbarrack Office which is situated in the Greendale Shopping Centre. At the same time the Kilbarrack Housing function and associated staff transferred to the Darndale Office. The remaining six staff in the Greendale Shopping Centre now accept service requests by email and telephony only. There is no public access to the office which is an internal and windowless space within the building.

The work carried out by the six staff can be conducted from any location and there is now suitable space available in the Civic Centre in Bunratty Road to facilitate the six staff. This will improve cover and enhance the services delivered from the Bunratty Office by consolidating staff in one building. Their senior manager is already based in Bunratty Road. The Civic Centre will possibly, be a more attractive location for customers as it houses a cluster of other public service providers and is adjacent to shopping and good transport routes. The Area Office will save in rent and associated costs while providing staff with improved working conditions.

As a result of these changes I intend to improve the housing counter services available to Kilbarrack residents by extending Housing Maintenance queries to a full service Monday to Friday in the Bunratty Office. The service will be adjusted according to demand over the first few months. Currently there is only a half day a week service for Kilbarrack housing queries already based in the Civic Centre in Bunratty. The Housing Welfare Service provided by personnel from the Civic Offices (one half day a week in Greendale Shopping Centre) will also be relocated to the Bunratty Office where more suitable accommodation will be provided.

I have consulted and informed the relevant staff and continue to work out some practical details regarding the changes. I have consulted with our Employee Relations Unit in the Human Resources Department and Impact Trade Union representatives as per agreed protocols. The proposed move is expected to be completed by September 2014.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4807 Motion in the name of Councillor Seán Haughey

That toilet facilities for the disabled be provided in the Donnycarney Social Services Centre.

Report:

The North Central Area Community & Social Development Team are aware that Donnycarney Beaumont Local Care Centre for Older Persons are endeavouring to provide toilet facilities suitable for elderly clients at the facility adjoining St John's Court, Malahide Road, Donnycarney, Dublin 5. I understand that an initial investigation was carried out last year by staff from Housing Maintenance and a sketch proposal was prepared. No source of funding was identified at that

85 stage that would allow the works to be carried out. In addition further technical examinations were required in order to comply with Planning requirements and allow the proposal to progress to a point where it could comply with tendering procedures and these works were not proceeded with in the absence of available funding. We continue to discuss the issues with the Departments involved but have so far failed to identify a funding source for this year.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4808 Motion in the name of Councillor Ciarán O’Moore

To ask DCC to remove the barriers at Dollymount beach as there was no consultation with the stakeholders of North Bull Island including the kitesurfers (Irish Kite Surfing Association (IKSA) who are listed as a stakeholder in the Management Plan for North Bull Island, 2009.

Report:

Parks and Landscape Services had a meeting with the Irish Kite Surfing Association on 11th July 2014, at which the current position was clarified and where commitment was made to improve communication and to seek involvement of this important user group in future improvements at North Bull Island. It has been clarified that based on the recommendations of the Gardaí and the requirement for better controls on the range of conflicting activities at this facility that it is proposed to retain barriers to vehicular traffic at the beach at Dollymount.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4809 Motion in the name of Councillor Michael O’Brien

That this area committee supports the objectives of the Darndale Park Renewal Project including the employment of CE workers to maintain the park and opposes any engagement of unemployed people by Dublin City Council under the Gateway scheme for the maintenance of Darndale Park or any other role in the North Central Area.

Report:

Parks and Landscape Services co-operates with any scheme approved by Dublin City Council, Human Resources Department, and in accordance with national employment policies and agreements with regard to employment. This service is also supportive the forum of Darndale Park Renewal Group which aims to bring about improvements to the parks amenities and facilities, increase usage and reduce the levels of abuse of this neighbourhood park.

Contact: Eoin Ward, Senior Executive Parks Superintendent - 2223436/2228869

Dublin City Council strongly supports the work and objectives of the Darndale Park Renewal Project.

We appreciate the work and commitment of the project in addressing the ongoing challenges in relation to Darndale because it is difficult for Dublin City Council in the context of reduced resources and funding to give the very intensive attention that this park requires.

We would welcome any support and assistance that could be achieved from Community Employment (C.E.) schemes in the area but such services are not within the control of Dublin City Council.

The Gateway Scheme is a job activation initiative under the auspices of the Department of Social Protection which is specifically focussed towards Local Authorities; each Local Authority in the country has a target number of Gateway workers to be employed before the end of 2014.

Dublin City Council is actively arranging for Gateway applicants to be assigned to relevant non- core work.

We believe that this Government Job Activation Scheme provides a strong opportunity for getting much needed work carried out in situations where otherwise such work will not get done due to resource restrictions.

We believe that there is a particular opportunity to address issues around open space maintenance and upkeep etc. in areas such as Darndale where our existing services require to be augmented.

We would be happy to discuss such opportunities with the Darndale Renewal Project.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4810 Motion in the name of Councillor Michael O’Brien

That this area committee supports the protest action scheduled for Monday 21st July outside the Northside Civic Centre organised by the local Housing Action Group in response to the housing crisis and the threat posed to citizens' position on the social housing list by the Housing Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2014.

Report:

The motion refers to how housing applicants will be processed when the new Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) comes into effect. The implementation of HAP will occur on a phased basis and is to be piloted in a number of Local Authorities in the first instance. The full transfer of HAP to Local Authorities will only occur after the results from the pilot schemes are known and an implementation plan is put in place.

There has been some media coverage and claims from some quarters that recipients of HAP will be excluded from moving to other forms of social housing – such as traditional local authority housing or units provided by Approved Housing Bodies.

The new system will specifically provide a route for HAP tenants to apply for other social housing options. HAP tenants will exercise this option through inclusion on a transfer list that allows tenants avail of a range of housing options. In allocation schemes adopted when HAP is in place local authorities will make provision to allocate available units to people on the transfer list.

This provision is already included in Dublin City Council’s current Allocations Scheme which allows City Council tenants, Approved Housing Body tenants and Rental Accommodation Scheme participants apply for a transfer into City Council housing stock. In compliance with Housing Regulations, all Rental Accommodation Scheme tenants who were housed after April 2011 were removed from the housing list and can now make an application for a transfer after two years in the same way as City Council or Approved Body tenants.

HAP is a radical reform and it will entail changes in how we provide all social housing support. HAP tenants will have access to local authority housing or housing provided by AHBs. The City Council is obliged to comply with the recently enacted legislation and any further housing regulations that may come into force. The main challenge before us is how we can increase supply in the social housing sector

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4811 Motion in the name of Councillor Michael O’Brien

That this area committee favours the building of social and affordable housing on available and suitable council owned land banks by means of directly employed council labour over any new form of public private partnership including one that involves gifting private developers a share of council own land for private development for profit.

Report:

The Council has limited capital funding for the provision of new social housing, it is currently developing two schemes in the North Central Area Bunratty Phase 1b and Buttercup

Unless the Council can use its land to leverage funding to develop social housing it is unlikely that any further social housing will be built in this area in the short to medium term.

The report which was put to Council on 7th July and which was deferred until 14th July sets out the Council’s advice in relation to exploring options to achieve mixed tenure housing in five locations around the city including three in the North Central Area. No decision to dispose of land can be taken without Council approval and in particular the Area Committee in whose area the lands are located would have to support the proposal to dispose or enter into partnership with a private developer. The Council decided at the meeting on the 14th to refer the matter to the Strategic Policy Committee for Housing who will be holding their first meeting of the new committee in September. Depending on their recommendation a report will hopefully go back to Council by the end of the year.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4812 Motion in the name of Councillor Michael O’Brien

That this area committee supports the ongoing funding by the relevant statutory bodies of the Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Centre and any will support any campaigning action taken by the staff and parents of children attending the centre to defend service levels, jobs, pay and conditions.

Report:

Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service is a community crèche operated by an independent board of management. While DCC has no role in allocating finance under the National Childcare Schemes a letter was sent to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs with regard to motion 4793 passed at the May North Central Area which stated that ‘This Area Committee fully support the Jigsaw (Darndale/Belcamp Integrated Childcare Services) in their call for the restoration of adequate State funding, failing which they face imminent closure with the loss of some 260 childcare places and 98 jobs, and we call on the Minister for Children immediately to provide adequate funding to ensure the survival of this vital facility.’

Dublin City Childcare Committee have provided the following information for this committee:

The board of Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service have been seeking support from the relevant statutory bodies to address the ongoing funding issue. They have previously submitted a number of requests for additional funding to address the project shortfall. In response to this Dublin City Childcare Committee has been asked by the key agencies involved to work with the service with a view to developing a longer term sustainability plan which will support the board of management to develop a sustainable model for the Service into the future.

Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service has capacity to cater for 148 children (full time equivalents). The centre is currently catering for over 250 children which include a mixture of full time part time and session places with a range of provision including baby room, wobbler rooms, toddler rooms and pre school rooms along with afterschool provision.

The Service is funded through main stream funding provided by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) through various funding programmes under National Childcare Schemes including the: Community Childcare Subvention – targeted funding programme to provide childcare for low income families, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) Scheme (free pre school year) - a universal programme which provides free preschool (for children aged between 3 years and 3 months and 4 years and 6 months) for 38 weeks, and the Childcare Employment Support Scheme - provides childcare for children of parents returning back to training either on ETB or Solas programme and CE programme. In addition to this core funding the Service receives funding from TUSLA to support its operational costs and it also receives funding for a Community Employment Scheme within the centre. Parental fees make up the balance of finance.

The Service has reported a shortfall in funding arising from reduced funding under the National Schemes over the last number of years. TUSLA has also reduced funding levels although they have tried to minimise these cuts.

These funding cuts are not unique to the Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service as services across the city are reporting similar cuts to their main stream funding (eg capitation

91

reduced from €100 to €95 and ECCE from €64.50 now €62.50 per week). In order to be sustainable services either reduce costs, fund raise or make up the shortfall from parents which is very difficult in the current climate.

Not all community crèches receive funding from TUSLA or under Community Employment Schemes. Many community crèches are solely funded through main stream programme funding provided by DCYA along with parental fees. Dublin City Childcare Committee which supports childcare services within the city have advised that community services within Dublin City are reporting ongoing sustainability issues due to the economic climate and a general reduction in funding.

In general it is recognised the level of investment into the early year’s sector is low and sustainability issues are arising for services, along with the ongoing discussion on affordability and accessibility for parents. However the individual organisations who have ultimate responsibility for operating services must seek to manage their services within current resource allocations as there is no additional stream of funding available.

DCCC have previously highlighted these issues to the DCYA and are currently working on a sustainability report looking at a number of different services operating costs. This report will be submitted to DCFA to help inform decisions relating to funding schemes and sustainability for the childcare sector.

That the manager please refer to complaint from a local resident who complains about the fact that HGV's., car transporters etc use Collins Avenue as a thru-way from the Malahide road to the Swords road and on to the M1/M50 and make the necessary arrangements to prevent this this type of traffic using this route e.g. direct the HGVs to use the N32, a much wider road than the urban Collins Avenue.

Report:

The Traffic Advisory Group recommended on 29/4/2014, a 3.5 Tonne ban running east to west on the R103 from Malahide Road to Swords Road. Signage will be provided at the junctions with Malahide Road & Swords Road in the coming weeks, The weight restriction does not apply to buses travelling on a bus route or to delivery vehicles accessing premises within the restricted area.

4815 Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

This committee recognises the invaluable community resource that is the Darndale/Belcamp Intergrated Childcare Service, otherwise known as the Jigsaw creche, is fully cognisant of the devastating impact its closure would have on the local community, particularly the families that avail of the centre's services and the workers employed there, and demands that the new Minister For Children & Youth Affairs, James Reilly, liaise with the relevant state agencies to secure the €200,000 in funding needed to ensure that the quality childcare this centre provides to two hundred and fifty children each and every day is guaranteed not only for this year but long into the future. A letter outlining this demand from the area committee will be sent to the Minister Department for Children & Youth Affairs as a matter of urgency.

Report:

Darndale Belcamp Integrated Childcare Service is a community crèche operated by an independent board of management.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 21st July 2014

4816 Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

That this committee welcomes the Local Authority Construction Initiative for Darndale that will see 35 new homes built in the Buttercup area at a cost of €35 million and supports the demand that a social clause be activated in this instance which would require of the main contractor the following:

(i) To recruit one long term unemployed person from the local Dublin 17 area, directly or through the supply chain, for each €1,000,000 of project value while retaining all current employees of the company;

(ii)To recruit one apprentice from the local Dublin 17 area, directly or through the supply chain, for each €2,000,000 of project value.

Report:

At the beginning of June 2014 the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (DPE&R) announced the establishment of a Social Clauses Project Group (SCPG). The objective of the group is to seek opportunities to maximise the social benefits such as employment and training opportunities that can be delivered under public contracts. In the press release announcing the establishment of the SCPG the Minister noted that in order to be compatible with EU Law social clauses must be made known to all interested parties and must not restrict participation by contractors from other Member States.

To maximise the effective use of such clauses in procurement a project group lead by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) has been established and they met for the first time early in July 2014. The group’s brief is to put forward projects where social clauses can be inserted into the contract to address employment and training and to work with the bodies such as the local authorities who are employing construction contractors, so as to identify social considerations that apply and provide assistance to the employer and the contractor in relation to training and accreditation. The OGP will assist with the design of the most suitable social clause for each contract. The employer will be responsible for monitoring the impact and the OGP will collate information and report on implementation.

The DPE&R are taking the lead on this issue and are looking at the experience in other jurisdictions so that they can develop a robust social procurement framework that is effective and that maximises the purchasing power of public contracts to develop employment and retraining opportunities.

The Council has contacted the OGP working group regarding the possibility of proposing one of 2015 housing construction projects for inclusion in the social clause pilot phase. Since Buttercup scheme has already been tendered and tenders are expected back by the 21st July 2014 this project cannot be included in the next round of social clause projects sponsored by the OGP It should be pointed out that funding may not remain in place if the project does not start on site this year as its funding approval was linked to the job stimulus initiative.

“Can the Area Manager please report on the following (details supplied).”

Reply:

The Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit is conducting an ongoing investigation into the operation of a solid fuel boiler at (details supplied). To date, a statutory notice has been served and the owner has been asked to demonstrate compliance with the notice under the Air Pollution Act 1987 by operating the system in accordance with the terms of the notice.

The boiler has been shut down recently due to the lack of demand for heating in the summer season.

The Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit has been informed that a scheduled service of the boiler and cleaning of the flue serving the appliance will take place in the coming weeks.

It is proposed to carry out an assessment of the operation of the system at a prearranged time when the servicing and cleaning are completed.

Contact: Martin Fitzpatrick, Principal EHO - 2223742

The chimney mentioned is exempt from requiring planning permission under the provisions of Class 2 of Schedule 2 – Part 1 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended). There is no height restriction on chimneys provided as part of the heating system for a private house.

The address in question was inspected by the Building Surveyor, Building Control Section, Planning Department on 23rd June, 2014 in relation to concerns raised regarding structural stability of the chimney and flue erected at the dwelling.

The householder has been advised to bring the work into compliance with the requirements of the Building Regulations 1997-2013 before 1st August, 2014 as otherwise an Enforcement Notice may issue under Section 8 of the Building Control Acts 1990-2014. An Enforcement Notice may require the removal of a structure, prohibit the use of the building or part thereof, require certain alterations to be carried out or the taking of some other appropriate action.

A further inspection by the Building Control Section will be carried out at the end of the compliance due date.

Q.3 Question in the name of Councillor Seán Haughey

“Can the Area Manager please give an up to date report on the following matter (details supplied).”

Reply:

The site of the unfinished development at 21, 27-29 (details supplied) and rear 21-29 (details supplied) has been on the Derelict Sites Register since December 2012. Arrangements are in hand to place a charge on the land.

Contact: Paul Crowe, Senior Staff Officer - 2223378

The original planning permission for the development at 21-29 (details supplied) (Plan No. 2575/03) was due to expire on the 11th November 2008. An extension of duration (2575/03x1) was permitted for an additional 3 years until 11th November 2011. The site stakeholder reapplied for a further extension of duration permission (2575/03x2) on the 10th November 2011. The application did not contain sufficient information to allow an informed decision to be made on whether an extension of duration of permission was appropriate or under what relevant part of the Planning & Development Act Section 42 the application should be considered. Further information was therefore requested. As of today’s date no response has been received from the applicant and permission on the site has now expired. Therefore what has been built under the original permission is not unauthorised but a new planning permission will be required in the future to complete the development.

As part of the original permission, contributions were attached requiring payment of contributions. Invoices were raised and issued in June 2009 and a warning letter served following non- payment. Shortly after this development ceased on the site.

It should also be noted that Dublin City Council Unfinished Housing Task Force has written to all known stakeholders of a Category D (Incomplete Development – No Activity), unfinished developments within Dublin City requesting a Site Resolution Plan. Registered letters were sent to stakeholders requesting the submission of a Site Resolution detailing a plan of action for each individual development. In relation to correspondence sent to the Stakeholder for site at 21 & 29 (details supplied), no response has been received.

In collaboration with the Unfinished Housing Task Force, the site at 21, 27-29 (details supplied) and rear 21-29 (details supplied) was entered on the Derelict Sites Register on 13th December 2012. The Property was valued by Dublin City Councils Valuers Office and consequently a derelict sites levy was put on the site.

In line with current legislation, Dublin City Council is investigating all available avenues of intervention, however due to legal complications regarding ownership, health and safety etc, Dublin City Council’s avenues for meaningful site intervention are restricted at present. It is hoped that these various barriers can be overcome by the various interested parties such as the original applicant and the relevant financial institution(s) in the near future, consequently allowing for the remediation of the site.

This is a civil matter. The owner of a tree is responsible for its condition and maintenance, and any damages that the tree causes to surrounding properties. However this must be proven and this is done by contracting a qualified Arborist to examine the tree and the alleged damages, pending the Arborist conclusions and report legal address or financial address can be sought. However in practice it is preferably some arrangements can be made with neighbour and the tree owner to avoid ongoing costs for everyone.

Following previous investigation it was noted that there was little pedestrian movement at this location to warrant a pedestrian crossing.

However a more appropriate location adjacent to entrance to (details supplied) Grove, less than 100m west of (details supplied) Apartments is being considered. A decision will be made on this following counts in the autumn when school numbers and other factors such as the proximity of existing pedestrian facilities on this busy orbital route can be taken into consideration.

Reply:

There are currently 2,532 applicants receiving rent allowance in Area B, North Central Area.

The implementation of Housing Assistance Payment HAP will occur on a phased basis and is to be piloted in a number of Local Authorities in the first instance. The full transfer of HAP to Local Authorities will only occur after the results from the pilot schemes are known and an implementation plan is put in place.

HAP is a radical reform and it will entail changes in how we provide all social housing support. HAP tenants will have access to local authority housing or housing provided by AHBs. The City Council is obliged to comply with the recently enacted legislation and any further housing regulations that may come into force. The main challenge before us is how we can increase supply in the social housing sector

Q.60 Question in the name of Councillor Michael O’Brien

To ask the area manager how many unemployed people have been assigned to the North Central Area by Dublin City Council under the Gateway scheme and what roles will they be fulfilling?

Reply:

The Gateway Labour Activation Scheme is a government initiative to reduce unemployment. The aims of the scheme are to provide short-term quality work opportunities for the longer term unemployed, support local authorities to fulfil commitments in respect of the activation agenda, undertake work of benefit to the city/county, and contribute to the Department of Social Protection’s management of the live register.

Agreement has been reached at national level to set a target of 3,000 participants recruited into the Gateway scheme by the end of 2014, with an individual target of 295 participants set for Dublin City Council.

To this end, the Council has requested a total of 296 name and contact details of people currently on the live register who are eligible for the scheme from the Department of Social Protection.

To date, the Department of Social Protection has provided Dublin City Council with a total of 96 names of eligible people. All these people has been called for interview, those who have been deemed suitable have been sent for Garda Vetting, and the Council has agreed a rolling programme of planned start dates for those who have been cleared through Garda vetting, with the first batch commencing their contracts in the Cultural, Recreation Amenity and Community Department in June 2014. No participants have been assigned to the North Central area to date.

The Council is currently in the process of examining a wide range of projects across departments, areas and community schemes that would allow the anticipated recruitment of participants on a rolling basis with a view to achieving the target set by the end of 2014.

It can be channelled through our Public Domain, Community or Parks staff and can vary widely depending on the capabilities of the group, the scope of work they are attempting to undertake and the feasibility and the cost effectiveness of their proposals. It is also dependant on available resources and the competing demand for such resources. Occasionally and in conjunction with the area office particular projects are identified and targeted for funding and this usually comes from a number of sources.

In relation to the specifics outlined in the details provided the role of the Community and Social Development Unit of Dublin City Council is advice and support and including the identification of appropriate outside sources of funding and grant aid. Members of the Area Team are available to meet and advise the group of their options.

“To ask the manager to refer to the trees at location as per (details supplied) and say if consideration can be given to replacing these trees as local residents complain that the specimen it totally unsuited to the area.”

Reply:

The roadside trees growing in the (details supplied) Area are mainly specimen of an ornamental pear. These trees are considered suitable species for use as roadside planting. Fruiting is a feature of many species of roadside trees throughout the city including the trees at this location. In some cases the fruit are sizeable and provide a significant aesthetic feature while still attached to the tree. They are also of significance to wildlife including birdlife and insect life in providing an important food source, and improving the diversity of species in the environment. The provision of a variety of fruiting trees is in keeping with the city’s Biodiversity Action Plan resulting in a significant food source for a dwindling but priority group of animals, namely birds. This Service is not considering the removal and replacement of this significant stand of mature roadside trees at this time.

In previous years there has been a very successful collaboration between Dublin City Council and local residents who assisted during the fruit fall. The Environmental Liaison Officer can be contacted if any gloves, blue bags or litter pickers are required, and arrangements can be made to collect any bags following cleanups.

Give details of what obligations people are under to ensure that (c) large tree roots do not block up drains (d) tall trees that over-shadow neighbouring property do not negatively impact on their neighbours and if he will make a general statement on the matter as my constituent fears the drain problem will be an annual event, which is unhygienic, a major inconvenience and expensive to unblock. “

Reply:

This is a civil matter. A tree growing on private property forms part of that property and its owner is responsible for impact of that property on any third party. The specific issues are a civil matter between the owner and the third party. Professional assessment may be required in order to technically confirm the impacts, as something like roots entering drains may be as much from a failing in the drain as directly from the growth of the root. It is generally recommended that the specific problems be discussed between neighbours to avoid conflict and to address the problem in the most practical way for all parties.

“To ask the manager to refer to grass verge at location as per (details supplied) and say if he can arrange to have same totally surrounded with low timber fence in order to protect ground and allow grass to grow.”

Reply:

Parks & Landscape Services in conjunction with the North Central Area installed a length of timber knee rail along the carriageway side of the grassed margin at this location during 2013, The purpose was to discourage illegal parking along the grassed margins from those vehicles which were parking with one side of their cars placed on the grassed surfaced areas. There are no plans to totally surround each soft landscape margin, as the placement of such a feature would have a significant impact on maintenance costs and it is considered that it would not necessarily change the pattern of general parking abuse taking place at the location.

The house was constructed using mass concrete and is in good condition. Several similar build houses have had issues with condensation and in most cases the installation of vents has resolved this issue. Unfortunately this was not the case here. The Area Maintenance Officer has had an Aerco Air Unit fitted in this property and we are making arrangements with the tenant to have the attic insulated. We hope these measures will help resolve the condensation issues for all the residents at this property

The windows in this property are aluminium and do not need to be replaced. As a precautionary security measure, a window stay has been fitted to one of the bedroom windows.

Reply:

The local Litter Warden will monitor this area for illegal dumping over the coming weeks.

Parks and Landscape Services received correspondence directly from a group of residents regarding a request for the installation of fencing at the public open space at this location. The matter was examined and a reply has been forwarded to the residents. There is currently a 6.0’ concrete block wall along the boundaries of this space which is visible from the nearby main road. It is considered that the location of the requested fence would have little positive impact on the possibility of the occurrence of abuse of the type described on this open space. Such damage when it occurs is reported to the Gardaí. The only concerns registered to this service by the adjacent service station have been associated with the impact of existing trees on the visibility of advertising signs at the location. The matter was also brought to the attention of the Environmental Officer, North Central Area, who has indicated that a meeting will be arranged before the end of July 2014 with residents.

The Community and Social Development Unit of Dublin City Council operate an annual grants scheme, however this year's scheme closed for applications on 31st January 2014. This scheme is designed to ensure that the best use is made of the limited resources available to support local communities.

In relation to the group (details provided) a grant of €400 was recommended (ref CG_2014_500).

Reply:

The tree in question is a semi mature Eucalyptus even though it is in good health appears to be causing anxiety to some residents in the neighbourhood that it may fall. Parks and Landscape Services will re-examine the tree to see if its condition has changed. However if residents wish it to be removed for other reasons Parks and Landscape Services will seek the view of residents generally in the area regarding such a proposal. In the meantime the tree will be placed on the tree pruning schedule for 2014/2015 to reduce the framework thus cutting down on the sail area of the tree.
