MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 23, 2017

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

"To ask the Chief Executive that due to the number of vehicles being burnt out could the Council please ensure that no access can be illegally made along the path and green spaces beside the Jobstown Stream particularly at Bawnlea?"

REPLY:

"The pathways and green areas adjacent to the Jobstown stream are separated from the surrounding housing estates and roads by means of a low stub wall.  When most recently inspected the wall was found to be intact and not breached at any location.  It is clear that vehicles are crossing this low wall at times with the aid of ramps which are constructed on either side to facilitate this." 

The area will be inspected again, in particular around Bawnlea estate, to establish the current condition of the wall.  At this time however there does not appear to be any solution available to the Council to stop vehicles crossing the wall with the aid of ramps as described above.
