MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 27, 2017

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to present a report on efforts he is making to deal with litter and other issues at Sean Walsh Park which are of concern to the local community and will he note the claims made at a recent public meeting in the area that community clean ups in Sean Walsh Park are yielding huge amounts of litter on a weekly basis; will he give assurances and make a statement?"

REPLY:

"The Public Realm operational depot in Sean Walsh Park implements a daily cleaning and litter bin collection service in the park.  The Council is aware of illegal dumping and unauthorised use of litter bins which is occurring in the park on a regular basis.  This activity is monitored by the Council's litter warden service.  The cctv systems in place in the park to monitor the playground, the works depot and the bridge to the Square will be examined to determine if it is feasible to extend any of these to areas where dumping etc is occurring."
