MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report on Hallowe'en activities and cleanup costs for the area under the remit of this Committee for 2016 and to make a statement on the matter."

REPLY:

The Public Realm Operations depots at Tymon Park and Rathfarnham Castle report that there was a total of 16 bonfires in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue-Terenure area in 2016, this is from a total county wide of approximately 350.  These are reported as having been cleaned up during the month of November.  It is intended that all affected sites will be properly reinstated with soil and grass seed where necessary and it is proposed that this element of the work will be completed in the new year, as it is weather dependent.  It is expected that the cost of clean up and reinstatement on these sites will be in the region of €3,000 in total when completed.
