MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on 53424 dated 04/04/2017 with regards to the recycling facilities for Fortunestown shop?"  

REPLY:

"The reply given on this matter to the item on the agenda of the April meeting of the Tallaght Area Committee stated that the site referred to at Fortunestown shops is considered to be suitable in many respects in that it has good unrestricted access, available space and adequate parking at the site.  In order for a bring bank facility to be established at this location it will be necessary to consult on the matter with the owners/occupiers of the commercial units on the site.  It will also be necessary to consult with the owners/occupiers of any dwellings which lie within 50 metres of the proposed location.  Ownership of the land will have to be established and consent obtained, before the proposal can be advanced. 

While this process has commenced it has not progressed sufficiently as yet to determine if the proposal is feasible.  The site has been examined further and a number of locations identified which lie more than 50 metres away from the nearest house, which means that consultation with domestic residents may not be necessary.  The landowner and owners/occupiers of the commercial premises have not been contacted about the matter as yet however.  Contact will be made with these individuals on the matter in the coming weeks."
