COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 20, 2017

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"That this committee looks into and addresses an infestation of fire ants in Cappaghmore - I understand that too many stings from fire ants could be lethal. Can the Chief Executive clarify?"

REPORT:

The houses in Cappaghmore Estate are privately owned and accordingly none of the properties are being maintained by the Council's Housing Maintenance Section.  Pest Control issues are dealt with generally by the HSE's Pest Control Unit who may be contacted on 01 4542087/01 4571388. Your concerns have also been brought to the attention of the Council's Environmental Health Section in the event that there may be any action open to them. They have been requested to revert to the Councillor directly in this matter.
