QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"To ask the Chief Executive if they have had reports of fly tipping in the Griffeen Park at the back of Arthur Griffith Park in the vicinity of 182 Arthur Griffith Park and the kissing gates? Can this be confirmed? if not can it be checked out and provision made to take the rubbish away?"

REPLY:

The Enforcement and Licensing Section has received one (1) recent complaint in relation to illegal dumping at the above location. 

Where evidence is found, the appropriate enforcement action is taken under the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended.  However, increasingly, it is found that no personal information relating to polluters is contained within the dumped material. Unfortunately no evidence was found in this instance.

All dumped rubbish has now been removed and the Litter Warden will continue to monitor this area in line with normal patrols.
