The next major  task will be to secure agreement on the City  Budget for 2014 in the context of massively reduced central funding and  uncertainty about the intentions on the Property Tax.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Housing Committee:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Chairperson of  the Housing Committee I am happy to report that we have made some  progress during the year. The complete overhaul of the Crampton  buildings complex is now underway and hopefully construction  work will soon start on Tom Kelly Flats, Charlemont Street.\u00a0 I am  optimistic about support from Labour in Government for the application  by the Royal Hospital Voluntary Housing Association for a demolition and  rebuild project for 25 units at Beech Hill Terrace.  A new \u201ctime on list\u201d Allocations Policy has been agreed and is now in  place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Association of Irish Regions and Southern and Eastern Regional Assembly:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In September I  completed my term as Cathaoirleach of the Southern and Eastern Regional  Assembly and a month later was elected Cathaoirleach of the Association  of Irish Regions. Both have given me an insight  into the need for a coherent Regional Policy in Ireland and to regret  the missed opportunity for same in the Local Government \u201cReform\u201d Bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>External Bodies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the year I  attended regular meetings of the VEC (now the Educational and Training  Board) and its sub-committees, the Board of the Rathmines\u2013Pembroke  Partnership and the Commissioners of Irish Lights.  I remain on the Executive of the Association of City and County  Councils. I actively participated in the Herbert Park Users Forum, the  Lansdowne Stadium Project Monitoring Committee and continued my role as  Chairperson of the South Inner City Local Drugs Task  Force and joined the City Enterprise Board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local Issues:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Working on the Flood  Protection measures for Ballsbridge and Donnybrook took up a lot of  time- but real progress is being made. I have attended the AGM\u2019s and  other meetings organised by the Sandymount and  Merrion Residents Association, Nutley Residents Association,  Donnybrook, Terenure, Portobello, Milltown and Rathgar Residents and  worked with other bodies right across the area and of course followed up  on the issues raised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miscellaneous:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After many years of  campaigning substantial upgrades are now taking place in Herbert Park  and flood reduction works have been installed in St. Alban\u2019s Park. The  Grafton Street rejuvenation is underway and  agreed has been reached on the new Docklands Strategic Development Zone  and a new Z15 zoning to protect open spaces<\/p>\n<p><strong>Naming Committee:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The work of the Commemorative Naming Committee took  up a lot of time but in the end it has been worth it. In addition to  approving the name of Rosie Hackett for the new Bridge \u2013 of which more  later \u2013 we have commissioned a new standard  memorial for significant sites and properties and developed a local  commemorative policy for parks and other public places.\u00a0 A suitable  memorial for former local Fine Gael TD the late Joe Doyle has also been  approved for Herbert Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As ever thanks are due to a number of people for  their support. It has been a pleasure to work with Mary, Oisin, Maria  and Gerry on the City Council and Kevin, Ruairi and Ivana in the  Oireachtas continue to do us proud.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks are due to Jill who puts up with me and a lot more besides.<\/p>\n<p>However we must not take any of that for granted.  When I joined we had one Senator who was also a Councillor we now have a  Minister, a second TD, a Senator and five Councillors. We need to make  sure that we use that strength, achieved by  the work of very many people, to deliver on real reform and economic  recovery. Both are important.\u00a0 We have a chance to transform Irish  society \u2013 we should not be satisfied with just transforming the economy.<\/p>\n<p>With new Electoral Areas the next year will perhaps  be our most challenging ever \u2013 we can rise to that challenge.\u00a0 I look  forward to representing Pembroke-South Dock. With the support of the  people of the area I will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annual Report from Dermot Lacey to Constituency \u2013 November 2013 City Council Group: On the City Council I have continued to serve as Labour Group Leader during the year.
