MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 24

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach’s Business

"That the Chief Executive ensure that the boundary wall between the Coldcut Road and Palmerstown Manor green space be secured in a manner that prevents access in either direction. There is serious incursion onto the Estate and securing this boundary would greatly help security for residents and assist the Gardai in their job."

REPORT:

The boundary wall at Palmerstown Manor has been subjected to vandalism which has resulted in a gap being created allowing access to the woodland area between it and the Coldcut Road. This is not an isolated incident as a similar situation arose in June 2012. The wall was repaired successfully in 2012 and it is intended to carry out a similar repair to the existing gap.

Given the reoccurrence of the problem, residents are encouraged to report incidents such as this to the Gardaí to prevent the problem escalating.
