Update on Graffiti Protocol

REPLY:

Reports of graffiti are sent to our Litter Warden for the area to inspect with a view to establishing whether the graffiti is on (a) utility box (b) private property or (c) public property.

A)    If graffiti is on a utility box the Litter Warden service identifies the owner ( ESB , Eircom , Bord Gais ,etc ) and the location is then referred to the relevant utility company requesting removal in line with MOU.

B)    If graffiti is on private property a notice issues to the owner requesting removal.  The Protocol published with the Litter Management Plan 2015-2019 provided for the potential to engage with private property owners to assist with removal of graffiti subject to agreement on costs and insurance indemnity.  However, to date there has been no take up on this proposal.

C)    If graffiti is on public (Council) property the Council arranges for removal.
