QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Further to my motion raised in October and following further investigation into the issues around the embankment a number of residents from both sides Castle Riada and Moy Glas have agreed to a meeting to discuss options available. Would the plans designed for this area in previous years be re-examined?"

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE - Tuesday, October 24, 2017 - QUESTION 5: Councillor L. O'Toole

"For a long number of years antisocial behaviour and criminal activity has taken place at the divide (embankment) between two estates Moy glas and Castle Riada, Lucan. Recently the area in Moy glas has experienced continuous anti-social behaviour. Residents have reported these incidents to Lucan Garda which is been examined and monitored. Could the Chief Executive report on any findings that have been reported to Council and confirm if Cluid Housing have been made aware of the situation? Following these reports could an on-site meeting be arranged with a view to examining possible solutions to this ongoing problem?"

REPLY:

The area of land in question lies between 2 private estates and as such the Housing Department Estate Management Section have not received complaints in relation to ASB. An approved housing body do have 14 units in Moy Glas Estate to which the Council nominated tenants recently. No issues have been raised in relation to these units.

REPLY:

The embankment was previously the subject of an NTA "Walking and Cycling Scheme".  A substantially amended Part 8 for the scheme was approved but the NTA would not fund the amended scheme as it did not meet its Project Appraisal Guidelines funding requirements. It is unlikely the NTA will revisit any future scheme in this area unless it meets the requisite Guidelines
