NOTICES OF MOTION

(a)       Motion from Cllr. Kevin O’Regan

      “That Clonakilty Town Council with the support and cooperation of Cork County Council and An Garda Siochana initiate Ireland’s first ‘Green Road / Bóthar Glas’ from the Model Railway Village entrance to the end of the first causeway on the Inchydoney road.

A ‘Green Road /Bóthar Glas’ simply means the maximum speed limit for motorised vehicles would be reduced, which would give pedestrians, cyclists and leisure horse riders priority on this section and should enable their safe access to Inchydoney Island. (At the end of the causeway pedestrians would be encouraged to turn left and continue their safe journey to Inchydoney along ‘the short cut’ road as its known locally.)

 This scheme was introduced in the Channel Islands in 1987 with great success and much media attention. The concept of ‘Green Roads’ could be one of Clonakilty’s main tourist selling points where a small town has put ‘people before cars’ along a very popular busy access road to one of the country’s finest beaches.”

(b)      Motion from Cllr. John Loughnan

“Following confirmation in the recently published Programme for Government that Tourism is a key area for economic recovery and progress, this Council requests the management of Cork Airport and the Department of Tourism to investigate the immediate possibility of using the old terminal building as a hub for one of the low cost carriers such as Ryanair. More needs to be done to improve access to West Cork from the UK and mainland European markets. Acting on this motion would give substantial opportunities to increase employment and spending power to the tourist industry in this region.
If this motion is passed, I propose that it is forwarded to the next meeting of Cork County Council for their support.”

(c)        Motion from Cllr. Cionnaith O’Súilleabhán

“That in the event of future, unforeseen problems such as that experienced recently with the public water system in the Clonakilty area, that Cork County Council, Clonakilty Town Council, HSE and all other statutory and local bodies use all possible methods to inform the general public of such disruption and updates to ensure that such important information reaches as many people as possible at the critical times”.
