SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 13, 2018

MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive deal with the rat infestation at Ballycragh Park and to give an update on the upkeep of the park, which has been unsatisfactory over the past six months."

REPORT:

"Further to previous reports on this matter the treatment of Ballycragh Park by the Council's pest control contractor is continuing.  The contractor visits the park on a 6 weekly basis to carry out an inspection and to replenish bait as necessary.  He reports that rodent activity in the area is evident but that it does not in his view substantiate the claim of rodent infestation in the park.  The process of treatment will continue however.

On recent inspection it was found that there was litter in place around the lake and this appeared to be from the feeding of ducks.  A litter pick of the park will take place in the coming days."
