MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 24, 2018

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he will present a report on actions being taken to support the important work of the Fettercairn Estate Management group which have been the subject of special meetings organised by the group to highlight ongoing difficulties in the Estate and attended by your staff and local Councillors; will he give assurances and make a statement?"

REPLY:

"Estate Management Officers continue to meet with the Fettercairn Estate Management Group on an monthly basis and where information is received in respect of anti social behaviour these reports are investigated and appropriate action is taken under the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2014. The Council also work closely with members of An Garda Síochána in efforts to eliminate anti social behaviour in the Fettercairn area.

In recent weeks, a Community Day took place at Kilmartin to commemorate suicide victims and this coincided with the rebuilding of the flower bed and installation of a bench at Kilmartin Park. The railings have been completed around the perimeter wall at Drumcairn Avenue and incidents of joyriding have significantly decreased in this area. Several new flower beds have also been installed at Drumcairn Parade in the co-operation with the local residents."
