MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor E. Higgins

To ask the Manager to provide information on the County's Halloween clean-up costs 2013 in comparison to 2012?

REPLY:

There were approximately 300 bonfires throughout the county this Halloween.  This compares to a total count of 380 bonfires in 2012.  This represents an estimated reduction of 21% in the number of bonfires since last year.  The clean up cost therefore is estimated to be correspondingly lower than last year.  The clean up cost for 2012 was €63,409 and is estimated to be €50,093 for 2013.
