MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh

"An bhféadfadh leis an gComhairle Contae an dá fhaiche i bPáirc na gCrann Glas i mBaile Pheire, Baile Átha Cliath 12 a ghlanadh go cúramach. Tá an iomarca bruscair ann faoi láthair.

Would the County Council clean the two fields in Greentrees Park in Perrystown, Dublin 12, carefully. There is currently an excessive amount of litter present."   

REPLY:

Baintear an bruscar as Páirc na gCrann Glas mar chuid den Róta um Bearradh Féir. Is É sin le rá go mbailítear an t-ábhar sula mbearrtar an féar. Tarlaíonn bearradh an fhéir ar róta 15 – 18, ach ní féidir tabhairt faoin mbruscar ar fad a bhailiú i gcónaí roimh an bhféar a bhearradh toisc go bhfuiltear ag díriú Ábhar a bhailiú a d'fhéadfaí a stialladh le linn an féar a bhearradh. Tá fadhbanna Áirithe maidir leis an iompar frithshóisialta sa cheantar agus leis seo tagann fás ar an mbruscar nuair a bhíonn an iomarca i gceist ag bruscair ag amanna Áirithe agus rachaidh Rannóg na bPáirceanna agus Seirbhísí Tírdhreachtaithe i dteagmháil leis an Aonad Glantacháin chun cabhrú leo déileáil leis seo.

The litter in Greentrees Park is removed as part of the Grass Cutting rota, i.e. the material is removed prior to grass cutting.  Grass cutting takes place on a 15-18 rota but it is not always possible to conduct a complete litter removal prior to grass cutting as the focus in on removing material that could become shredded during the cutting exercise.  There are some problems with anti social activity in the area that cause an excess of litter to build up at particular times and the Parks and Landscape Services Section will liaise with the Cleansing Unit to assist in dealing with this.
