QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"To ask the Chief Executive how much South Dublin County Council has spent on cleaning up the Halting Sites within the Rathfarnham Templeogue Terenure area, broken down by each site?"

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council have 3 Residential Caravan Parks located within the Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Terenure Area: - Stocking Hill, Owendoher Haven and Cherryfield Way.  

South Dublin County Council pay for a daily mobile caretaker service for these sites and the Caretakers are responsible for the general cleanliness of the sites and surrounding areas and in particular all common areas

The Council also have CCTV cameras installed which are used to monitor any illegal dumping in and around the sites and where evidence of the identity of the perpetrators is achieved the appropriate action is then taken.

In addition to the above in November 2015 South Dublin County Council spent €6810 on a general clean up at Stocking Hill and €658.30 in February 2016 on graffiti removal at Stocking Hill.  €737.76 was also spent on providing skips to Cherryfield Way in 2015.  We have currently looked for quotes for a proposed clean up at Cherryfield Way and a further clean up at Stocking Hill.
