Latest Town Council Motions

 

 
Rún 1

Tá an méadú dífhostaíochta níos measa I gcontae na mí ná aon contae eile sa tír. Tá níos mó daoine as an Mhí ag comaitéireacht freisin. Faigheann an Mhí níos lú airgead forbairt gnó ná aon chontae I gcúige Laighean. Iarann Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe ar Enterprise Ireland agus an IDA straitéis nua a fhorbairt chun an fadhb práinneach seo a réitigh.         

Given that Meath is experiencing the highest unemployment increases in the state, has the highest rate of commuting and suffers from the lowest enterprise development funding in Leinster Navan Town Council calls on Enterprise Ireland and the IDA to develop a strategy to radically redress this emergency situation.

Notice of motion, Peadar Tóibín and Joe Reilly.

Rún 2

Tá leath bliain imithe on am deireanach a bhronn an chomhairle an Deontas Deisiúcháin Riachtanach do daoine míchumasaithe agus daoine aosta san Uaimh. Iarann Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe ar an rialtas airgead a chuir ar fáil don comhairle chun deisiúcháin riachtanaigh práinneach a dhéanamh gan mhoill.

 

It has been over half a year since grants such as the Housing Adaptation Grant were last made available to applicants such as people with disabilities and the elderly in Navan. Navan Town Council calls on this government to make funds available to the council in order to that essential repairs and adaptations be made in emergency situations as soon as possible.

Seo iad rúin le haghaidh cruinniú Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe  

 

  1. De réir torthaí suirbhé Comhairle Náisiúnta na nÓg a léiríonn go bhfuil ar a laghad ceathrú de muintir na hÉireann faoi 25 fágtha amach on Clár na dToghthóirí.

Rún le haghaidh cruinniú Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe. (30th December)

Cllr. Peadar Toibín


In light of significant problems with the completion of residential developments, Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe calls for:

  • Sufficient levies to provide footpaths linking new developments with existing services
  • All bonds to be of sufficient value to cover completion of development
  • All bonds to be of sufficient value to complete essential works in the event of a developer going into receivership
  • All bonds to be paid to the Council in advance of work commencing (rather than notional 'guarantees')
  • An audit of all developments in the County where bonds have not been paid in full
  • Legal action to be taken to secure bonds not paid in full
  • Compilation of a list of all developers who have failed previously to complete developments to the required minimum standard
  • Future planning permission to be denied to any developer on said list.

Cllr. Peadar Toibín


Chun tacaíocht níos láidre a thabhairt don Gaeilge in ár bhaile, iarann Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe:

1. Ainm Gaeilge amháin a chuir ar gach tionscadail bonneagar nua cómh súil le bóithre, páirceanna agus foirgneamh Comhairle. Is é ainm oiriúnach do bóthar 2B ná ‘Bóthar an Mhóta’ a léiríonn an tábhachtach stairiúil a baineann leis a Móta.
2. gach ainm gaelach tsráid, bóthar agus eastáit a chuir suas ar gréasán an Comhairle chun go mbeadh daoine in ann iad a úsáid.

In order to support a new progressive era for the Irish language in our town Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe calls for:
1. The naming in Irish only of all new infrastructural projects such as roads, parks and council buildings. A suitable name for the new 2B road would be Bóthar an Mhóta which would reflect the historical significance of the Moat.
2. The uploading of all Navan street, road and estate names in Irish to the council website to allow for citizens to use the Irish versions more readily.

  1. That Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe calls on the Fianna Fáil/Green government to reverse the draconian Education cuts contained in this years budget. It is the considered view of many parents and teachers in Navan that the Fianna Fáil/Green Cuts are leading to severe cuts in library services, the free book scheme and most importantly frontline teaching services which help the most disadvantaged of our children.
  2. That Comhairle Baile na hUaimhe calls on the administrations in both parts of Ireland to equalise VAT rates and excise duties in both jurisdictions in order to eliminate market distortions and prohibit unfair competitive disadvantages. These VAT distortions are creating severe trading difficulties to shop keepers in Navan and other towns south of the border and are contrary to the developing All Ireland economy.
