QUESTION NO 2.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor, TD

To ask for a report on actions being taken by the Council and the Gardaí to deal with problems of Anti Social Behaviour and Vandalism in *address supplied.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council have made contact with the Gardai and it is understood that they will endeavour to identify the youths who are responsible for the antisocial behaviour in question. If these individuals are resident in rented council dwellings the procedures available to the council under its antisocial behaviour policy will be invoked.

Clause 18(a) of the Council’s tenancy agreement reads as follows:

Neither the Tenant nor any member of his household or any household or any sub-tenant or visitor shall cause any nuisance or be guilty of or permit any conduct likely to cause annoyance or disturbance to any neighbours, their children or visitors or Council staff.

The Anti-Social Officer for the area, in conjunction with the Community Gardai, has recently interviewed Council Tenants who where identified as engaging in Anti Social behaviour in this area and are continuing to monitor the situation.
