MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 24, 2015

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the motion below that was passed at last months (Oct15) Lucan ACM?"

"That this committee agrees that the Council should inspect and take action at the unofficial walkthrough between Castle Riada Drive and Moy Glas Lawns as this location is the site of significant anti social behaviour, illegal dumping and dangerous fires. The walk through is on land that is the responsibility of public realm."

REPLY:

The illegal dumping that is taking place at this location consists primarily of green garden waste i.e. grass clippings and tree and shrub prunings. There is a small amount of C&D waste however this is minor in nature. From the nature of the dumped material and the dumping location, it is most likely that it is locally generated waste. 

The material which has been accumulating over a period of time has resulted in the area where it is situated becoming raised to such an extent that it now provides a convenient step to cross the R136 boundary wall.

To resolve this issue it is proposed to remove all dumped material. Local residents are requested to provide any information or details of persons dumping waste at this location to the Enforcement Section for further investigation and prosecution where possible.
