NOTICES OF MOTION
 
(a) Motion from Cllr. Cionnaith Ó Súilleabháin
 “That this council, being conscious of the shocking rise in numbers of people on the Live Register at the Clonakilty Social Welfare Office (March 2010 CSO figure 1,298)  and in particular the numbers of Under 25 year olds (157), organises a community forum similar to that done in the 1980’s which would bring all local agencies and stakeholders together  (e.g. Employers organisations, Trade Unions, Enterprise Board, VEC, FÁS, Student and young Unemployed representatives, Clonakilty Business Association, Chamber of Tourism, etc.). The aim of this forum would be to set up an Action Group for Employment under the remit of Clonakilty Town Council, whose agenda would be to identify what actions we as a community can take to help maintain present jobs, and create employment particularly for the under 25’s in order to keep them in our community. If passed, that this forum be established and its first meeting be held by 30th April 2010 at the latest”
 
(b) Motion from Cllr. Cionnaith Ó Súilleabháin
“That this council organises the inaugural meeting of the Clonakilty Joint Policing Committee by the end of April 2010”

(c) Motion from Cllr. Ann Cullinane
“That the Executive would provide us with an update on any steps that are being taken to address the foul smell that continues to linger around Clonakilty Bay.  From mid March, the smell has been obvious at the entrance to the Town.  Not only is it affecting residents in the area but it will also impact negatively on tourism and business in Clonakilty.”

(d) Motion from Cllr. John Loughnan
“In order to protect and maximise the income of Clonakilty Town Council and to make the workings of the Council more meaningful and effective, I am calling on this Council to make a submission to the White Paper on The Future of Local Government.  The two areas of major concern to me are Funding Local Councils and the possibility of substituting Town Council with District Councils.”

8. COMHFHREAGAS O RANNA RIALTAIS
CORRESPONDENCE FROM GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS

9. CORRESPONDENCE FROM OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND PUBLIC BODIES
(a)  Motion from South Tipperary County Council

(b) Motion from Bandon Town Council
“That this Council
Notes that
• 233 out of 1548 registered unemployed at Bandon office last month were under 25.
• the situation of those under 25 has worsened as a result of the cuts in their unemployment benefits brought in as part of Budget 2010 with these cuts forcing young unemployed to choose between poverty and emigration.
Expresses its disappointment at the failure of the government to bring forward and implement a strategy to tackle youth unemployment and to create jobs for the unemployed.
