A vote on whether the council should debate a topical issue asking it to facilitate a proposal for Finglas United to make two dressing rooms available to a local boxing club before Halloween. A topical issue needs the support of two thirds of those voting to be debated.
Summary written by AI from the minutes. The motion as recorded follows.
Halloween Youth Diversion through Boxing Programme Finglas United is willing to make 2 dressing rooms available for local boxing club. In the run up to Halloween and increasing concerns regarding fireworks and anti social behaviour I am asking DCC to urgently facilitate this proposal. It was already part of the original plans. It will provide a badly needed great sporting outlet and safe space for local young kids in the area.
The minutes record: In accordance with Standing Orders the topical issue was put to a vote and did not achieve the requisite two thirds support to be debated. Full details of the vote can be found in Appendix B to these minutes.
