QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor P. Foley

"To ask the Chief Executive could details of what has been done and the schedule of what has yet to be done be supplied to the clean up of the laneways in Dublin 12? As agreed in the May 2018 ACM the Public Realm Section would carry out a thorough clean up of the laneways in Dublin 12.  Several residents have expressed concerns that some laneways have not been cleaned and remain in a poor condition."

REPLY:

The programme of cleaning of laneways in the Dublin 12 area is continuing as per the normal schedule which involves twice yearly cleaning of the laneways which are included on the schedule.  The first half of the yearly programme was completed in June and the second half has started and will be completed before year end.  While the laneways have been cleaned, on inspection some have been found to have a problem with weed growth which has not been treated.  This matter will be attended to by the Council's Public Realm Section over the coming weeks.
