"To ask the Chief Executive given the increase in Anti Social behaviour in and around the Sean Walsh Park, which includes locals wheelie bins being stolen and set on fire, muggings, loitering, is there a plan in place to increase lighting or CCTV in the area to help deter anti social behaviour?"

Qu (9)
Submitted by:
Councillor T. Costello
Responsibility:
Leo Magee
"To ask the Chief Executive can South Dublin County Council act quickly on these requests from residents. Residents in these estates are victims of vandalism, abuse, and theft on a daily basis as the numerous access points to the park enable a quick escape for those committing these crimes.
'In the small upper section of Sean Walsh park from Firhouse Rd West to Carraigmore View there are now 5 access points into the park. When the park boundaries was enclosed, a tall pedestrian locking gate was installed to facilitate school access only. It was open term time and locked after school daily. This operated to the satisfaction of school and community. The most recent elephant ear opening at Marlfield was installed with no community consultation. Since the elephant ear pedestrian gate opened, the tall locking gate is no longer locked, anti social crime including assaults and burglary has steadily increased particularly in Heatherview and Carraigmore. It is now weekly. The community wish to revert to the past access model which securely closed the park to pedestrians after dark. This would require the removal of the 5th gateway, the elephant ear and reverting to term time, school hour access for the tall gateway.'
 
This reduction of entry would still allow 24 hr access through the 2 pedestrian & vehicular gates on Firhouse Rd West and Heatherview Lawn.”
