MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

QUESTION NO 15.

QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh

"To ask the Manager to re-examine the walk way from Avondale Terrace to the playing pitches as the residents are suffering from serious anti social behaviour at that place despite the intervention and attention and to have the walk way closed off to eliminate this unacceptable situation (Details supplied)?"

REPLY:

Pruning and crown raising of trees along the walkway has been undertaken to reduce the amount of screening and cover for potential perpetrators of anti-social behaviour.  There is a well established desire line of usage evident on this walkway and any proposal to close this access would require the investigation of the existence of a right of way and its possible implications for closure.
