MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor F. Warfield

"Given the time consuming nature of maintenance in Templeogue Cemetery, this motion calls on South Dublin County Council to commit greater priority and regular attention to the burial ground, with a commitment to schedule works every five weeks, rather than every six, as is currently the case."

REPORT:

In response to a similar item on the agenda of the October meeting of this Area Committee the following response was given. As previously stated maintenance work at Templeogue graveyard now takes place on a fortnightly basis and this frequency of maintenance will remain in place through the coming year.

The details of the current maintenance work carried out at Templeogue Cemetery are given below. Templeogue Cemetery is scheduled to be maintained every 2 weeks by staff from the Council's Public Realm section.  The frequency of maintenance visits at Templeogue graveyard has recently been increased and the graveyard is currently being monitored to ensure that it is being maintained to an acceptable standard. The list below shows scheduled dates for these maitenance works for the remainder of the year.
