SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"That this Committee agrees to put more bins in the Griffeen Park for dog dirt."

REPORT:

"The Council has to date limited the installation of bins in parks which do not have a continuous staff presence. It is the Council's experience that in some instances where bins have been provided in the past they tend to act as a focal point for gatherings. In these circumstances, the bins are often subjected to persistent vandalism which results in the removal of the bin.  

The litter bins that are currently in Griffeen Valley Park are available for the disposal of litter and dog waste.  A review of the number and location of these will be undertaken with a view to increasing the provision where it is found that there is a lack of facilities and a demand for same.  Any new installation will be monitored closely and it will be retained subject to it not being vandalised or used for the disposal of domestic waste."
