MOTION NO.2
MOTION: Councillor C. King
That this Committee calls on the Manager to provide a detailed report on the numbers of bonfires identified with the assistance of a map in the Tallaght area over the Halloween period and to compare it to the figures over the past two years.
REPORT:
Overall there has been a slight reduction in the numbers of bonfires identified across the Tallaght area, compared to 2012. In total there were 176 bonfires located on open spaces across the area and the bulk of these have now been cleaned up. However, there has been some improvement in the situation in particular areas e.g Jobstown/Brookfield compared to what has occurred in previous years. A table setting out the number of bonfires this year in the Tallaght Area compared to 2012 and 2011 is set out below. A map of the bonfires in the Tallagh area is also available at the meeting.
