MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 14, 2017

MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive report on the cause of delay in cleaning up the illegal dumping at the Stocking Lane Halting Site.  This Councillor informed SDCC several weeks ago that the situation was unacceptable and causing rat infestations in neighbouring housing estates."

REPORT:

"The Traveller Accommodation Unit have been over the past number of weeks been in discussions with the Public Realm Section of the Environment Department to ascertain if the Public Realm Section would be in a position to undertake clean ups around Traveller Halting Sites and we have recently been informed that they are not in a position to do so.

Accordingly we have to engage the services of a private contractor and in line with Government Procurement Guidelines we have to tender for this work through Quick Quotes. The Tender has been advertised for a number of sites with a closing date of the 16th March.

Stocking Hill will be the number one priority  as soon as possible after the tender date has closed. 

It should be noted that €15, 657 .00 has been spent on clean ups of the Stocking Hill site since January 2014.   

A tenancy warning under the Housing Miscellaneous Provisions Act has recently been issued to one Tenant in respect of this issue."
