QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"To ask the Chief Executive how many community groups from Rathfarnham Templeogue Terenure area requested assistance with Spring Clean Up Day on 23rd April last?  How do these figures compare to last five years?  Were additional resources allocated for this year?"

REPLY: 

An Taisce’s National Spring Clean is an annual campaign which encourages communities to hold clean ups in their area during the month of April. Groups must register with An Taisce to receive their National Spring Clean pack. In addition to this the Council supply extra clean up materials such as litter pickers, bags, hi-vis vests, paint and painting accessories. The Council also provide a collection service for groups who wish to avail of this. 

In 2016 there were 7 clean ups taking place on Saturday 23rd April from the Rathfarnham and Templeogue/Terenure electoral areas.
