MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 13, 2017

QUESTION NO.20

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm how many prosecutions were taken by the Council in respect of Litter and Graffiti throughout the county in the last calendar year and will he list details in respect of each electoral area. 

REPLY:

It is not possible to provide details as requested on an electoral area basis.

The table hereunder outlines enforcement activity for the county at large.  

However, the details are not reflective of activity as the level of investigatory input is not reflective of fines issued due primarily to the absence of incriminating evidence.
