MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 29, 2016

QUESTION NO. 27

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive to outline the number of applications received from residents of Lucan & Palmerstown under the recently launched home security scheme and to further detail the number of which were successful and when the scheme will be advertised again?"

REPLY:

"Approximately 500 replacement locks are available under the 2016 scheme. Over 700 applications were received by the closing date, October 21st. The first 500 are currently being processed. Of these 500, 60 are from Lucan and 13 are from Palmerstown. A number of the first 500 will be unsuitable for the scheme, once this number is established we will begin to process the remaining 200 until the number of 500 is reached.  Any outstanding applications at this point will be given priority in 2017. Late applications have not been accepted.

A procurement process will be carried out early in 2017. The first task of the successful contractor will be to complete the outstanding applications from 2016, at this point the scheme will be advertised again."
