MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 13, 2016

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a list of 'black spots' in the Bohernabreena, Edmondstown and Whitechurch mountain areas which have been identified for dumping/flytipping. Furthermore can it be clarified if CCTV has been considered for these areas?"

REPLY:

"There are a number of locations within areas referred to in the question which are known to be prone to repetitive acts of illegal dumping / flytipping and which are included on the Warden Service patrol for regular surveillance:

Bohernabreena: Piperstown Road, Military Road, Cunard Road Lower

Edmondstown:  Killakee Car Park, Cruagh Road, Rockbrook

Whitechurch: Whitechurch Road, Tibradden Road

The Council’s Litter Management Plan has committed to the deployment of innovative and emerging technology, including CCTV to tackle the problem of illegal dumping and fly tipping, and such devises have already been installed at various locations across the county. 

In managing this service, the Council is mindful of resources available, therefore requests for the installation of such technologies are assessed on a case by case basis, having regard to certain criteria, including site suitability and the repetitive nature of illegal dumping and fly tipping.  

It is anticipated, but subject to Members' approval, that provision will be made in Budget 2017 to continue the rollout of such devises, and that the determination of locations will be further considered if / when a budget is approved and available."
