As the government blocks funding for major social-housing projects, FF and FG councillors point fingers at ministers
As many as 1,325 social homes in Dublin city are at an advanced stage, with planning granted – but now with no clear funding.
Those were some of the issues Dublin city councillors discussed at their September monthly meeting on Monday.
A motion asking the lord mayor to end her patronage of the Artane School of Music will come back before the full council next month, says independent Councillor Mannix Flynn.
Here’s some of what councillors discussed at their June monthly meeting.
Most councillors voted against Mannix Flynn’s motion to call for an end to the Artane Band as it is now, but he said that wasn’t the end. “This is going to go on,” he told them.
Many have dismissed calls by councillor Mannix Flynn for the band to break with its past. Others say it’s time to listen to survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
