COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 22, 2017

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor C. King

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive once again to carry out whatever works are necessary to protect Killinarden Park from so called joyriders. The park is being destroyed by this anti social activity and clubs like Croí Ró Naoife are forced to voluntarily replace parts of their pitches to ensure they are usable for matches and training. The constant removal of burnt out cars is also costing the Council/tax payer an unnecessary financial burden."

REPORT:

"The Council's Public Realm section makes every effort to ensure that Killenarden Park is secure from entry by joyriders ,however it is a regular occurrence that gates and railings are damaged to allow access for these vehicles.  The boundary of the park will be walked and inspected again on Monday May 22nd to identify any locations where entry is possible and that require attention.  The necessary repairs will be arranged thereafter.   "
