MOTIONS:

4980. Motion in the name of Councillor Deirdre Heney

To ask the Manager to refer to the condition in which the grass verges in the area of Moatfield Park Coolock, D5 are left by the contractor employed by Dublin City Council and say if he can arrange to ensure that the works carried out are completed properly and in full, including cutting the corners of the verges and the cleaning up of the grass after cutting as several residents complain that the contractor is leaving the grass verges in a dreadful state and really feel that the City Council is being taken advantage of by the responsible contractor and if he can make a general statement on the matter of grass verge cutting in general.

4981. Motion in the name of Councillor Larry O’Toole

That this committee commends and extends gratitude to the council workers for their excellent work over the Halloween period.

4982. Motion in the name of Councillor Ciarán O’Moore

Could the Clontarf Tourism group be supported in their endeavour to continue there community education and culture programs. The support that is required is a lease/ facilitation of a room ideally in the Red Stables Clontarf. Clontarf Tourism group is non profit community group who have been established since 1991.

4983. Motion in the name of Councillor Larry O’Toole, Councillor Ciarán O’Moore, Councillor Denise Mitchell & Councillor Micheál MacDonncha

That this committee agree to request the Area Manager to make provision for a Homeless Section clinic or contact point in the North Central Area. This would help to alleviate the hardship of applicants with young families having to attend at Parkgate Street.

4984. Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

That this area committee demands that the laneway connecting Macroom Road to Ferrycarrig Road in Coolock be closed as a matter of urgency. The closure of this laneway should be by way of the construction of two concrete walls at either end.

Over the past number of years this laneway has been used for all manner of anti-social behaviour, from illegal drinking and dumping, public urination and sexual acts, the setting fire of various objects, an escape route for those engaging in taxi fare dodging and, some two years ago, an escape route for those involved in a shooting, all of which has made the lives of the residents, many of whom have lived in the area for several decades, increasingly unbearable, particularly those living adjacent to the laneway. These particular families have children and granchilden but feel that their homes and back gardens are unsafe due to the anti-social activities occuring over the wall in the laneway. This lane no longer serves the community in any practical way and rather just adds to the constant fear, anxiety and stress of those living closest to the laneway.

4985. Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

That this area committee rejects the proposed siting of 38 units of Modular housing at Belcamp Avenue, Dublin 17. With no communication with or consultation of the local community, the plan to place temporary emergency accommodation units on a site that had previously been ear marked for permanent public housing, a demand the local community had fought for over 15 years to achieve, adds further to the concerned community’s displeasure of the council’s proposal.

4986. Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

That this area committee commits to the purchase of ten beach wheelchairs for use at Dollymount Strand as a first step toward the roll-out by all relevant local authorities country-wide of beach wheelchairs to facilitate people with disabilities/mobility restrictions enjoy to the fullest all that our beaches have to offer.

MOTIONS:

4969. Motion in the name of Councillor Ciarán O’Moore

Firstly comhghairdeas to all involved in the commissioning the excellent sculpture in St.Annes Park. The work that went into the surrounding wall at the junction of the James Larking Road is a credit also. With this in mind the can the manager review the position of the grey power box / traffic light box that is on the path beside the wall and sculpture , it takes away from the over all visual aesthetics. I propose that it is reallocated to the far side of the road. Order: Report to Councillor

4970. Motion in the name of Councillor Damian O’Farrell----WITHDRAWN

That this North Central Area Council believes that the proposed development on lands formally owned by the Vincentian Fathers at St Anne’s Park, Raheny is in material contravention of the Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017 due to the abject failure of the proposed residential scheme to comply with the clearly stated zoning objective for the area, i.e. “To ensure the existing environmental amenities are protected in any future use of these lands.” Order: Withdrawn

4971. Motion in the name of Councillor Damian O’Farrell

To ask the Area Manager whether or not DCC and/or DCC Parks where approached about the possibility of using parkland immediately inside the boundary of Fairview Park (carriageway side) for the Clontarf to Amiens St Cycleway project. If they were approached at the initial design stage of the project can I have a report on what talks took place between DCC and the project designers please and also the reasons why this space wasn’t included in the final design please? It would seem logical that an exploration / consideration of the use of this ‘park space’ would have taken place in order to create as much space as possible for the project and to help provide a cycleway which safely separates cyclists and motorists as much as possible as well as providing space for a much needed City BikeStation as well as a rest stop and /or other facilities. There are other environmental benefits this alternative route option may have brought to the project/area including the possibility of saving trees designated for destruction and further ‘opening up’ Fairview Park to the public by way of increased activity and passive security. Order: Report to Councillor

4972. Motion in the name of Councillor Damian O’Farrell

To ask the Area Manager for a report on the refurbishment and turning around of ‘Void’ residential units in our area please. I’m aware that DCC ‘Void’ refurbishments are carried out by outside contractors however internal DCC management and administration of procurement and /or contracts is vital for these ‘Voids’ to be turned around in a speedy manner. I’m asking the manager to comment on what effect internal office staffing levels have had on the turnaround of ‘Void’ properties please and would an increase in administration staff help with our backlog. Also have the staffing levels in the turnaround administration of ‘Void’ properties been increased in the last 12 months and could I have staffing figures for same please. Order: Report to Councillor

4973. Motion in the name of Councillor Deirdre Heney

That the Manager refer to playground in St. Annes’ Park and say when any renewal of the surface will take place as parents of toddlers say there is a need for re-surfacing work to be carried out in the children’s playground area and also if he can outline future plans for the provision of a specific play area for very young children.

SPRINGDALE PARK CHANGING ROOM PAVILION

The objections to the Part 8 Planning Application primarily relate to the following. 1. Location 2. Increase in traffic 3. Impacts on visual amenity including removal of tree 4. Antisocial behaviour 5. Preference to building on site of exiting building. 6. Noise and Impact of Construction

Location The building comprises a new single storey changing room pavilion in Springdale Park that is located on a plateau along the northern edge of the open parkland. The building would be located thirty eight metres from residences on Springdale Road The site selected for the building is an area of low biodiversity value and would not impact on the Special Conservation interest of the park in particular Brent Geese which forage in the winter.

Increase in traffic

There should be no increase in traffic as there are no additional playing pitches proposed. (Roads and Traffic Department report.) Impact on visual amenity The building is a single storey Architect designed building that will be finished to a high standard and integrated with existing semi mature trees. Any visual impact on houses nos. 154 to 132 would be mitigated by a line of existing semi mature trees with groups of trees at each end of the building. These trees will be retained and protected during the construction works. The colour and finishes of the building will be complementary to the context and the careful placement of the building. A sympathetic landscape treatment and new tree planting will further ensure visual integration with surrounding parkland. Antisocial behaviour The location of the building on the edge of the park facing Springdale Road rather than isolated in the corner of the park will assist in passive supervision and negate anti-social behaviour. In addition, the building is designed to be secure including the provision of burglar alarm system that will be remotely monitored by a contract security company. The building will be enclosed by a 2.5 metre weld mesh fence. Encouraging legitimate behaviour associated with sport clubs and community using the changing rooms will also discourage anti social behaviour. Preference to building on site of existing building The existing changing room’s site was examined and it is considered too restrictive an area for the proposal and it is also situated on low lying ground that presents a future flooding hazard. Sightlines for traffic exiting the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB) lands would also be impeded by a building in this area with consequent traffic hazards created. The proposed building is being located on a site closer with easy access to the football pitches. This proximity will strengthen the clubs association with the ground. The more central location is also more convenient for use by the surrounding community.

Noise and Impact of Construction

It is anticipated that construction of the building will take about 5 months to complete and disruption to the residences of Springdale road will be kept to a minimum by restricting construction operation to weekdays only and during normal working hours. Furthermore the site will be surrounded by timber hoarding for security and to ameliorate any noise, dust or visual impacts. The contractor will be implementing a traffic management plan with the agreement of Dublin City Council to ensure safe movement of traffic and pedestrians in the park during the construction period.

Planning The principle of providing changing rooms in Springdale Park fully accords with the Z9 zoning. The Dublin City Development Plan 2011 – 2017 recognises the provision of sports facilities at neighbourhood level as a key challenge to be addressed. Active recreation as part of a healthy city is recognised in the plan and is supported by several policies and objectives including:

Policy GC15 To continue to manage and protect and/or enhance public open spaces to meet the social, recreational, conservational and ecological needs of the city and to consider the development of appropriate complementary facilities which do not detract from the amenities of space and Policy GC39 “to have regard to the objectives of the Dublin City Sport and Active Recreation Strategy 2009 -2016’ in the planning and provision of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities including water-based activities”. The overarching aim of this latter strategy is to get more people partaking in physical activity.

The Chairman and Members of North Central Area Committee.

Belmayne –Clongriffin Local Area Plan (LAP) – Belmayne Town Centre Site. Corner of Malahide Road / Clarehall Avenue

1.0 Introduction

1.1 The Belmayne Clongriffin Local Area Plan recommended a design led master plan for the corner of Malahide Rd/Clarehall Avenue at Belmayne. A large portion of the land is in DCC ownership. Due to the recession, development was sundered there since 2008.

1.2 However given the level of current economic progress, it is considered the site, at a key entrance junction to the city, has many opportunities for a positive and sustainable mixed use development with a good visual impact. 1.3 The North Central Area Office with the Planning and Development Departments are currently examining in some detail the development potential of the site.

2.0 Background

2.1 A large portion of the land is in DCC ownership. Unfortunately due to the recession, development was sundered there since 2008. 2.2 Accordingly a considerable section of the site is not aesthetically pleasing (e.g. builders’ debris and unkempt growth). For several years now, its condition continues to attract adverse comments on its appearance. 3.0 Scope of review 3.1 The site to be reviewed is the land bounded by Clarehall Avenue, Malahide Rd, Belmayne Boulevard, Churchwell Avenue, Churchwell Rd and Crescent and Belmayne Avenue. 3.2 The review is examining high level options in relation to the disposal of the site, seeking to provide more detail into the LAP plan for the site akin to a masterplan, consulting with DCC functional departments who are stakeholders, and also evaluating wider macro-economic and property influences and factors. 4.0 Objectives 4.1 The review focuses on the advantages and issues of the site in terms of making it more attractive for marketing for a disposal in the short-medium term. It will also identify risks and opportunities and DCC actions in the short term – medium term (6 months – 18 months).

5.0 Belmayne Town Centre Site Overview

5.1 It is a key junction at entrance to City from Fingal and other traffic via R139 (formerly N32) coming from M1. It is denoted by good road networks and public transport. It currently presents a less than aesthetic pleasant site.

5.2 The LAP envisaged a vibrant and sustainable centre with connectivity and movement throughout Belmayne and indeed to Clongriffin.

5.3 As construction development is now occurring in Belmayne, Clongriffin and adjacent South Fingal County Council it is considered relevant and timely to explore the social, commercial and other opportunities there.

5.4 Appendix 1 has an overview of its strategic importance in a North Central, Citwide and indeed regional context.

6.0 Features of Local Area Plan for Belmayne Town Centre

6.1 It is worth noting in bullet format the main features of Belmayne town centre in the LAP:

. Excellent transport links, . Civic activity and possibly a civic building are suggested, . Development of Main Street, Belmayne with Clongriffin link and onto Fingal / Baldoyle, . Mixed use development including office, residential, open space and retail, 13

. Residential development recommended at upper levels, . New civic space enclosed by mixed uses to be a feature, . Potential for landmark building at the corner of Malahide Rd/Clare Hall Avenue.

7.0 Perspective of North Central Area Office on site development

7.1 For over a decade the North Central Area office is well engaged with the LAP stakeholders ( DCC, FCC, developers, public representatives, business, residents and other agencies).

7.2 The level of DCC communication and its relevance is demonstrated by the sustainability of North Fringe Forum (2007 to date) and local police forum (Safer Belmayne / Clongriffin, 2008 to date). Both of which are attended by local public representatives community and stakeholders such as Fingal County Council and developers.

Some relevant points established are;

i) Dublin City Council is the major landowner of the site and accordingly major influence ii) There are new residential developments underway in Belmayne (133 houses under construction).

iii) Two primary schools at Belmayne are planned for construction in 2016.

iv) There are local councillors and residents lobbying to improve the appearance of the site and for some development.

v) The success of Northern Cross development across the road may provide lessons and insight for a positive development of the Belmayne Town Centre

vi) There may be a risk of piecemeal development with reference to the overall beneficial impact of good balanced development taking account of a medium/long term framework,

vii) There is value and community gain in aligning LAP objectives to current market conditions for investment and also to prompt Dublin City Council led development there

viii) With the Park’s and Landscaping department, the Area office has managed since 2013 the provision of a plot of 112 allotments and a community garden.

ix) DCC Parks Department provided a new cycleway from Belmayne to Clarehall Avenue.

8.0 Risks

8.1 Without one or several development initiatives on a concurrent basis there may be a risk of Incremental and ribbon development.

8.2 Any well intended temporary users may be difficult to dissuade to leave the site e.g. the provision of DCC play areas or football pitch allocations.

8.3 There is a view that without positive promotion of the site, it will become a laggard with sub optimal development as the economic recovery gains pace.

9.0 Current actions of review

9.1 The current review tasks in progress are :

I. Consulting Dublin City Council stakeholders; Development, Roads, Traffic, Parks, Public Lighting, CRA, Housing & Residential, City Libraries and Arts Office II. Obtaining high level property department information III. Drafting a SWOT and issues paper.

9.2 The actions focus on a realistic appraisal and identifying opportunities. Leading on from these initial findings, it should be possible to generate options and then select relevant and pragmatic actions.

10.0 Outputs of review

10.1 The output should be a report approved by the Chief Planner Officer, Executive Manager of the DevelopmentDepartment, Chief Valuer and Area Manager for North Central.

10.2 It aims to include be an action programme to promote the site, get assurances and/or clarity from DCC departments on their plans and also facilitate market development engagement, aand be circulated to North Central Area Councillors.

10.3 The target for the final report would be in the first quarter of 2016.

Jim Kelly, Assistant Area Manager 4th November 2015

At present the Red Stables, St Anne’s Park, are not leased on a long-term basis as discussions and plans are ongoing regarding its development and improvement. The presence of a long term lease holder may possibly create problems regarding the future development and use of the complex. The group can make application to this service regarding any specific event usage and consideration will be given to that application.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 16th November 2015

4984 Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

Over the past number of years this laneway has been used for all manner of anti-social behaviour, from illegal drinking and dumping, public urination and sexual acts, the setting fire of various objects, , an escape route for those engaging in taxi fare dodging and, some two years ago, an escape route for those involved in a shooting, all of which has made the lives of the residents, many of whom have lived in the area for several decades, increasingly unbearable, particularly those living adjacent to the laneway. These particular families have chidlrend and granchilden but feel that their homes and back gardens are unsafe due to the anti- social activities occring over the wall in the laneway. This lane no longer serves the community in any practical way and rather just adds to the constant fear, anxiety and stress of those living closest to the laneway.

Reply:

There are 4 houses connected directly to the laneway 84-86 Macroom Road and 50 & 48 Ferrycarrig Road. Over the years we have had successive queries from residents dating since February 1987, regarding their wish to close the laneway by means of walls.

There has been /is difficulties using this means of closure as the underground sewerage network which supplies a very large number of houses is under this lane and access is required at all times.

Given the history here of requests and given the actual location of piping we could not recommend that residents pursue a fresh application with the same proposed method of wall closure at each entrance.

If residents wanted to put in a new application for closure by means of gates, general advice would be, given the low walls at side walls at each of the 4 houses, the walls on the side gardens would have to be raised in order to accommodate gates/pillars to be of sufficient height to hold same.

The reason is simply for gates to be effective they would have to be fairly high i.e up to 2.2 metres and be placed at the entrance to each side .This would prevent a recess/gap at both mouth entrances. This means that groups could not gather there without difficulty, and so would be more effective in reducing the impact of anti-social behaviour

A new arrangement would also rest on residents agreeing jointly and being able to pay for the gates. We are happy to advise/ assist with enquiries at any time. Residents can contact Joanne O’Sullivan at 2228541 or Elaine Mulvenny at 2228846.

4985 Motion in the name of Councillor John Lyons

Reply:

There are a growing number of families with dependent children accommodated in emergency accommodation. At end September 2015, there were 637 families in all types of emergency accommodation including 109 families from the North Central area who are currently in emergency accommodation.

The Minister for the Environment, Community & Local Government, announced on 21st October 2015 that the Government has approved the delivery of 500 modular housing units for homeless families across Dublin. The aim of the programme is to deliver 500 social housing properties for homeless families as quickly as possible and ease pressure for families currently residing in hotels and other emergency accommodation as a temporary measure while supply is coming on stream.

The Minister further announced that the first 150 modular homes be delivered on sites in Dublin City Council’s administrative area utilising the most expeditious procurement and planning provision.

Modular housing will be allocated to households assessed as being homeless under the relevant acts. Households placed in this type of accommodation will be on a licence as opposed to a tenancy arrangement and will pay an accommodation charge to Dublin City Council based on household income.

Families who are housed in these units will remain homeless for statistical purposes but will have a better environment where there family life will be less disruptive.

All families placed will be assigned a professional wrap around service via the existing Homeless Action Teams. This involves having in place a support package for children and their legal guardians and which addresses any concerns raised.

The ultimate objective of this team’s work is to assist families in finding long-term tenancies once available and in the quickest timeframe. A wide range of housing supports will be assessed and offered based on eligibility, including social housing allocations and the Housing Assistance Payment Support (HAP). The Dublin Regional Homeless Executive has established the Dublin Place Finders Hub which co-ordinates access and sourcing of private rental accommodation.

The design of the modular housing will fully comply with the policies and objectives of the City Development Plan and will also be fully compliant with the current building and fire regulations.

Q.7 Question in the name of Councillor Larry O’Toole

“To ask the manager for an update on (details supplied).”

Reply:

All works applied for, under this scheme must first be assessed by a surveyor to establish if the works are feasible at that property. If works cannot be provided due to structural limitations, we can advise the applicant early on in the process and all other alternative works and housing options can be then examined by the tenant. If deemed feasible, the file is then sent for assessment on medical grounds.

It was this initial feasibility assessment that was carried out at this property in August 2015. The works were deemed feasible and the file was then sent for examination on medical grounds. The medical information submitted in this case was inadequate and did not demonstrate any real medical need for the adaptations. A letter was sent to the tenant on 31st August 2015 requesting detailed medical evidence that may establish the need for these works.

We do require medical documentation that can help identify those cases with the greatest level of medical need.

To date no further medical evidence has been received in relation to this applicant, therefore DCC can not proceed with any works. If the tenant forwards more detailed medical information this case will then be re- assessed.

Due to the fact that repairs to these gates were costing a disproportionately high amount of the overall Housing Maintenance budget they are no longer being repaired. In most cases where we have previously repaired these gates they were immediately damaged/vandalised time and time again. Unless an agreement is entered into by the local residents to actively ensure that the gates are not vandalised it is not possible to continue repairing them to no avail.

If gate request cannot be acceded to, what action will be taken to alleviate the awful anti-social problems being experienced by nearby residents.”

Reply:

1.DCC Estate Management are working closely with the Gardaí to eliminate this problem. It should be noted no complaints regarding anti social behaviour has been received in this office since September 2015.

2.The laneway in question is a public right of way and cannot be sealed or gated. The formal lane closure protocol must be initiated. See 3 below from Elaine Mulvenny.

3.Number 1 (details supplied) is a DCC property and has been re-let. We are in the process of purchasing number 2. It is however still a private property.

Contact: Aidan Fitzsimons, Area Housing Manager – 2226930. Email: [email protected]

3. In relation to the archway above being closed off, we will firstly examine on-site the feasibility of a gate being put in place in the context of the Section 73 of the 1993 Roads Act which can allow for the extinguishment of a public right way of way. We will do so in order that we can give the residents best advice as to the likely success of an application to close the right of way and the best way to manage the above. It is important that for example the services existing underground are not for vital supply and also that locally there is at least a fair chance that there would not be a lot of residential objections arising from the current level of use of same for access exit purposes. We can update fairly swiftly on the above.

“To ask the Area Manager (details supplied).”

Reply:

Dublin City Council is aware of the level of impact that falling fruit has on the residents of this location at this time of the year. In the past this Service has described the importance of maintaining these trees in the area. Parks & Landscape Service has worked with Waste Management Services, the public Domain Officer and the Environmental Officer for the North Central Area to minimise the impact of fallen and falling fruit on residents. It is not possible at the current time to carry out a removal and replacement programme of the fruiting trees in the general area at the present time. The overall issue of conflict of fruiting and the negative impacts on residents is included for examination in the preparation of a Tree Strategy for the City, which will shortly be made available for public consultation. Parks & Landscape Service propose to develop specific proposals for the future of the roadside trees at this location and will have the outline of this for presentation for the February 2016 North Central Area Committee Meeting.

The area of open space described in the above question has been examined by Parks and Landscape Service and is not considered suitable for the type of recreational facility proposed. Sports Capital Grants are applied for by Dublin City Council for the installation of a range of active recreational features at locations in parks and public open space where such facilities are considered appropriate and sustainable.

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE 16th November, 2015

Q.45 Question in the name of Councillor Alison Gilliland

“To ask the local area manager to carry out a noise pollution assessment of (details supplied)”.

Reply:

Noise maps have been developed for the agglomeration of Dublin which includes Dublin City Council, Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Councils. These maps quantify the sound emissions from traffic on all major roads within Dublin. On foot of these maps a Noise Action Plan has been developed for the period December 2013 - November 2018. Within the Noise Action Plan undesirable sound levels have been set at greater than 70dB(A)(decibels) for daytime and greater than 55dB(A) for the night time.

An assessment of the noise maps, along with short term spot monitoring at the location requested, indicates that average daytime (7am-7pm) sound levels at the front boundary of the properties in (details supplied), closest to, and facing the M1 are between 60-65dB(A). Night time (11pm -7am) levels are assessed between 55-60dB(A). As such the nearest properties fronting onto the M1 are being exposed to undesirable night time sound levels. Approximately 13% of households within the City would be in a similar position. Sound levels drop below the undesirable limit at the properties immediately behind those facing the M1

In order to prioritise noise mitigation measures should resources become available, a decision making matrix was devised and set out in the Noise Action Plan. This decision making process considers different factors to be examined at each location, with a resultant total value being assigned. The Action Plan indicates that priority will be given to locations where a value of 17 or greater is calculated should resources for mitigation measures become available. This assessment using the Action Plan matrix identified no locations in (details supplied) which achieved 17 or greater.

The M1 carriageway level, lies below the property levels in questions. A line of trees and a block wall are also in place between the road and the properties. The traffic speed limit in that location is eighty kilometres per hour. Any further mitigation to reduce night time sound levels would fall within the area of noise source reduction i.e. the reduction in the volume of traffic on the road. The emphasis in the current Noise Action Plan is placed on measures to prevent noise and reduce, avoid or relocate the various types of noise sources. These measures focus mainly on road traffic sound emissions, as the noise maps have shown it to be the major sound source in the Dublin Agglomeration. As such the City continues to promote, support and encourage: a) Sustainable travel infrastructure projects and traffic management schemes that promote mobility by all sustainable travel modes. b) The development of sustainable travel modes in conjunction with transport providers and local communities. c) The facilitation of the introduction of Electric Charge Points in conjunction with the relevant government departments and through the Planning Process. d) The facilitation of the introduction of car share clubs. e) the adoption of best practice / guideline documents and policy in Transportation Planning, e.g. Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets 2013, Cycle Design Manual 2012 etc g) The reduction of excessive driving speeds through the provision of appropriate traffic calming measures and changing of speed limits though bye-laws in line with Government guidelines. h) The promotion of the use of low-noise road surfaces where appropriate. For new roads schemes, low noise surfaces will be considered as part of the overall design and in keeping with current design guidelines.

Reply:

The construction, erection or alteration of a gate within or bounding the curtilage of a house constitutes exempted development by virtue of class of schedule 2 – part 1 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 subject to two conditions and limitations:

1. The gate shall not exceed 2 metres in height. While the top of the gate is approximately 2.4 metres above ground level, it is stepped up above ground level by approximately 200mm and has been finished so as to stand flush with the top of the adjoining boundary wall. The slight increase in height over and above 2 metres is considered a minor breach of the Regulations for which enforcement measures are not required.

2. A means of access shall not be exempt if it onto a public road, the surfaced carriageway of which exceeds 4 meters in width. This gate is not onto a public road but onto public open space that is under the control of the Council’s Parks and Landscaping Services Department.

Contact: Fiacra Worrall, Assistant Enforcement Manager – 2223316 Email: [email protected]

Following a similar enquiry in 2014, Parks and Landscape Service undertook to monitor the location which has resulted in the location being included in regular inspection by staff of this Service. No indication that the entrance at this property has been accessed from the open space has been noted by this service.

Parks and Landscape Service considers that the placement of the type of signage requested has little if any impact on public open space where there is a history of such abuse on and about Halloween. As the councillor and residents are indicating a successful campaign preventing bonfire abuse at this location in 2015, Parks and Landscape Service will consider the placement of the requested sign, on a pilot basis in early Autumn 2016 to assist the campaign in 2016. It is considered that the earlier placement of such a sign could result in the vandalism of the sign and the potential of the abuse occurring in response to the sign placement.

Q.85 Question in the name of Councillor Naoise O’Muirí

“Can the Manager please consider the installation of playgrounds at the following locations in the Dublin North Central area:

3. The green at Collins Park/Celtic Park 4. On one of the green areas in Beaumont Woods.”

Reply:

Parks & Landscape Service has examined the request for the installation of playgrounds at both of the above areas of residential public open space. These open spaces are not considered suitable for the placement of formal playgrounds because of the proximity of public roads, private residential properties, and the level of resources required to carry out the ongoing inspection of equipment and surfaces that is required with such facilities. Parks and Landscape Service generally site such facilities in neighbourhood parks where daily inspection can take place and a speedy response to any damages can be put in place when required. Both of the above locations provide informal play opportunity at present, and formal playground are in place at Ellenfield Park, Whitehall and at Maypark, Donnycarney.
