MOTION NO.10

MOTION: Councillor M. Ward

"When Council properties are damaged as a result of vehicle impact, such as boundary walls demolished due a road traffic incident that this Council instructs the Chief Executive to seek redress for damage from the drivers insurance or in the case of an uninsured driver from the Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland (MIBI)?

REPORT:

When a Council property is damaged and the person who caused the damage is known then a claim is made to the relevant insurance company or the MIBI if appropriate.  However in most cases where walls are damaged the culprit is not known to the Council.
