MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 20
QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh 2009
An bhféadfadh leis an gComhairle na boscaí bruscar ar Bhealach na Canálach Móire a ghlanadh /a fholmhú níos minicí ag an deireadh seachtaine. Bhí ceithre chinn ag dul thar maoil ar an Satharn 25 Feabhra, um thráthnóna?
Would the Council clean/ empty the litter bins on the Grand Canal Way more often at the weekends. Four of them were overflowing on Saturday the 25th February, in the afternoon?
REPLY:
Déantar cigireacht rialta ar na boscaí bruscair ar Bhealach Ghlas na Canáile Móire idir an 3ú loc agus an 12ú loc agus déantar iad a fholmhú nuair is gá. Le déanaí bhí cásanna ann nuair a folmhaíodh boscaí bruscair ach laistigh de chúpla uair a chloig bhí siad lán arís.
Níl folamh na boscaí bruscair ag an deireadh seachtaine sa chonradh ach tá na bearta riachtanacha curtha i bhfeidhm anois ionas go mbeidh níos mó cigireachtaí ann níos minice ag an deireadh seachtaine agus leanfar ag déanamh athbhreithnithe ar an Ábhar.
The litter bins along the Grand Canal Green Route from the 3rd to the 12th locks are inspected on a regular basis and emptied as and when required. In recent times there have been instances where bins have been emptied but within hours are full again. The contract does not allow for the emptying of litter bins at weekends however the necessary measures have now been put in place to have inspections carried out more frequently at weekends and the matter will be kept under review.
