QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm actions being taken in respect of concerns reported by Parkwood Residents Association, Tallaght, in respect of Dodder Valley Park, Old Bawn, including dumping at the stone wall, the condition of the green areas and their long time requests to have the unused football containers in the park removed and in responding to these issues will the Chief Executive please take the opportunity to confirm proposals for the overall development of the park to the satisfaction of the local community?"

REPLY:

"Arrangements are being put in place at present for the removal of the unused containers referred to here.  This necessitates the hiring of a crane for which a tender process is required.  This tender process is underway and will be completed soon, following which the containers will be removed.

The Council's Public Realm Section respond to complaints of illegal dumping in this park from time to time.  The park will be inspected in relation to this complaint and any dumping sites found on inspection will be cleaned up."
