"Further to my representations made on the issues and concerns raised by the club members and club users at the facilities in the Griffeen Park (Weston Hockey/Lucan Harriers) (see email below) that this committee requests the CEO to further examine the introduction of CCTV at this location.
"We had 3 car break ins at our clubhouse car park again this evening on Newcastle road.
Disappointing for this to happen after lights were installed.
It's clear we need more security and help from the council on ways to increase security around the clubhouse, track and Weston hockey pitch.
We've had numerous problems with anti social behaviour. These car break ins tonight were 2 Lucan Harriers cars and 1 from local GAA.
The culprits wait for Harriers to leave the track and hit during training times when they know the car park is quiet.
Can you all please help and escalate at council meetings on our behalf?
We obviously need help with increasing security measures, getting surveillance cameras working again.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give."
