MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE 2

Monday, February 25, 2008

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor J. Neville

To ask the Manager for a detailed update on enforcement proceedings against the owner of the site on Cookstown Cottages, in relation to the telephone mast there and will be Manager please note, that enforcement proceedings were due to be brought in relation to the telephone mast in May, 2007 and the said telephone mast is still in situ in early 2008?

REPLY:

The Council has been progressing this case since complaints were first received.  By its nature, due to statutory requirements, the enforcement procedure can at times appear to be slow, and in this case, because of the existence of planning permission for certain specified development on this site, and other factors, the matter is more complex than usual.

Enforcement notices have been served and legal proceedings are likely to commence soon.
