MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor C. Keane

That this Committee recommends that dog litter bins/bags/pooper scoopers be provided in the Rathfarnham Area. I was informed in 2008 that  “the matter is being investigated by the Senior Engineer taking into account the health and safety aspects of handling/processing receptacles for hazardous materials such as dog waste”. If our neighbouring Councils and Councils all over Europe can provide them we should be able to provide them." 

REPORT:

Paper "pooper scoopers" have been provided by the Council's Litter Wardens to residents and community groups for a number of years.  It is not possible at the current time to progress proposals, budgetary provision or discussions with staff representatives regarding new services or changes to existing services.
