MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor M. Genockey

"To request that bins be provided in Jobstown Park for residents walking their dogs in the park to dispose of dog waste?"

REPLY:

"In general the Council's Public Realm Section does not provide litter bins in local parks such as Jobstown Park, and in particular the Council does not provide bins specifically for dog waste as standard litter bins can accept dog waste which is properly wrapped or bagges.  The possibility of providing a number of standard litter bins on the public footpath at the entrances to Jobstown park will be examined.  It should be noted that such bins are already in place at a number of locations on the Outer Ring Road.
