Z15 Land Zonings
The City Manager has advised me that on June 15th 2012 submissions were heard by the Judge from both sides in relation to the Z15 (Institutional)Land Zonings but the Judge deferred giving his order until the 25th June. I will keep you posted of any updates as they develop. Mary

Labour & The City Manager
Labour in chahoots with City Manager to privatise bin collections. Dublin City Manager has held secret meetings with Labour City Councillors regarding the privatisation of domestic bin collections in the city. Despite a request from Fianna Fail and Independent Councillors for a special meeting on this issue we were neither invited nor informed to meet the City Manager. How […]
Bins – Special Meeting Request
In light of the serious issues that have arisen with DCC’s withdrawal from the collection of domestic waste in Dublin City, last night with the support of the FF councillors and a number of Independent Councillors I formally requested the Lord Mayor to immediately convene a meeting with the CEO of Greyhound and the City […]
Domestic Bin Collections
From Monday January 16th 2012, after more 140 years, Dublin City Council will no longer be responsible for collecting domestic rubbish in the city. Over the past few months I strenuously opposed DCC’s withdrawal from the domestic bin collection service but unfortunately the majority Labour/Fine Geal Councillors supported the City Manager’s plan. I again raised […]

Capuchin Day Center

The work they do is truly inspirational. They feed approximately 600 people a day and give out […]
Grangegorman
It was hugely disappointing that the Government failed to include any capital spending for the Grangegorman Development in their 2012-2016 Capital programme. The capital required is only €80million and it would have led to the redevelopment of the 70 acre campus, 1000s of jobs and a worldclass Education, Health and Community Facilities. As it is […]
DCC Flooding Update
Since the flooding on the 24th of October I have been following up with Dublin City Council regarding specific flooding events in our area. At the DCC Engineering Strategic Policy Meeting held on December 15th I addressed the issue and the RTE 1 news covered some of my comments. You can watch the full meeting […]
Grangegorman
The announcement recently from the Government to cut all funding for the Grangegorman Development is hugely disappointing and shocking when you think of their election promise of 100,000 jobs. It shows an unbelievable lack of imagination and begs the question was anybody in the Government parties promoting the project or even vaguely defending it ? […]
