MOTION NO. 12
MOTION: Councillor M. Devine
That the Manager give a report on the costs associated with the removal of graffiti within the Tallaght area.
REPORT:
The total costs of materials and equipment hire associated with graffiti removal during the period 1st January to 31st October, 2012 were approximately €33,000 while the estimated staff costs for the period were some €101,000.
Of the 318 removals carried out throughout the County during the same period, 156, representing just over 49% of the total were in the Tallaght area. of these 108 (33.96%) were in the Tallaght Central area while 48 (15.09%) were in Tallaght South.
While costings are not available for each individual graffiti removal task carried out and the removals can obviously vary considerably in size, a cursory estimation would suggest that the costs associated with removals in the Tallaght area were in the region of €65,660
