COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, November 14, 2016

MOTION NO.21

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley, Councillor E. O'Brien

In the light of recent prosecutions for illegal flyering and bill posting advertising cash in exchange for various products, it is our contention that the County Council is now in a position to tackle this behaviour which amounts to vandalism for profit. Accordingly, we propose that this Council now requests that the Environment Dept of SDCC make a concerted effort to remove the existing illegal bill postings of this nature in the 2016 calendar year.

REPORT:

Since the recent successful prosecution taken by the Gardaí (Traffic Corps, Dublin Castle) there has been a virtual cessation in the prevalence of new Cash for Cars signage.

The existing / historic signage generally takes the form of sticker / poster and are primarily affixed to traffic signs at major junctions.

EWCC, in collaboration with Roads Department, will now be embarking on a poster removal project in the coming weeks.
