After the council quietly closed its mediation service, a new report highlights a growing need for mediation in the community. Earlier this year, Dublin City Council closed its service to defuse low-level tensions between tenants in its housing.

Remembering our sister Jennifer Barrett on “World Day of remembrance for road traffic victims”. The car accident happened 49 years ago and we still mourn her loss. We also lost her unborn child that day. PLEASE take care on the roads and always be alert to the unexpected. #speirgorm

At a recent conference, advocates highlighted another route to justice for victims seeking solace. Only a fraction of victims are referred to restorative justice at the moment – but the number is growing.

A new traffic light on Collins Avenue creates more danger than it prevents, councillors say. It’s meant to control traffic leaving the Whitehall Colmcille GAA clubhouse car park, across a footpath, onto the road.

A new visitor centre, concert and exhibition space are planned for the Marino Casino. Tourist visits to this “gem of eighteenth-century neo-classical architecture” are relatively low. The OPW hopes the new additions will boost them.

Look to the many faith-based groups to boost integration in inner-city, a new report advises council. Almost 50 faith-based groups play a big role in helping people navigate civic life in the north inner-city, it says – and the council should tap into them, it says.

With new housing developments across the city, come debate over levels of parking they should have. From Ballymun to Drimnagh, plans meet with the same refrain.

Dublin City Council is considering cheaper parking for EVs, a price rise for residential permit parking, and more. For those in a central yellow zone, annual residential permit parking fees could go up from €50 a year to €225, a council briefing suggests.
