QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

“To ask the Manager, in respect of specific housing policy, if action has been taken by the Housing Department against residents who live in (Details supplied) concerning continuous and serious instances of anti-social behaviour in De Selby, Tallaght, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”

REPLY:

The De Selby Estate Tallaght, is a private housing estate in respect of which South Dublin County Council has no function for enforcement of anti-social behaviour.    However, It has been alleged that the anti social behaviour at this location is emanating from an  adjoining Council housing estate.   In an effort to increase security for the residents of De Selby improvements to the boundary wall dividing this estate and the adjoining Council estate were undertaken by the Council's Housing Estate Management Team.  In a further attempt to address anti social social activity at this location an infill housing site to provide 27 new units is due for completion in the final quarter of 2008.
