"That the situation along the area between the Covert and Kennelsfort Rd be examined and whatever action is required (perhaps in conjunction with the Garda to install CCTV) to bring it into and maintain it in a manner that reflects the fact that this is a residential area and a passage way for pedestrians. It is used as a hangout for anti-social behavior including drinking parties and is perpetually strewn with empty beer cans, broken bottles, remnants of fires and general litter. Despite the best efforts of dedicated workers from this Council the area is a focal point for graffiti and is anything but a pleasant place to have to pass through or to live beside. Real fears are now being expressed concerning Halloween as the green at this location has been the focal point for huge bonfires in recent years and the residents complain that neither the Council or the Garda seem to do anything about it."
