MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"To ask the Manager to consider closing off the Templeogue Bridge underpass.  This is not just a litter blackspot but the area is now attracting the homeless.  The underpass is not used by locals because of the risks involved."

REPLY:

Homeless Services Unit is aware that the underpass at Templeogue Bridge is currently being occupied by a person who is sleeping rough.  The Unit has ensured that the Regional Outreach & Contact Service has made contact with this individual with a view to securing alternative accommodation and is receiving all the necessary supports required.
