MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to provide an update with regards to the site at the old ESSO garage in Tallaght Village. This Committee notes that an order was issued requesting the owner to carry out various works at the site. Can the Chief Executive please provide an update on the enforcement."

REPORT:

Significant efforts continue to establish ownership / responsibility for this site - Toughers Oil Distributors (in receivership) former Esso garage in Tallaght Village.

On 15th August, 2018 a Section 11 Notice was served under the Derelict Sites Act 1990 requiring the site to be tidied up, shrubbery to be removed and grass to be cut back.  Based on records available to us, the notice was served on the owner, a company, and a receiver appointed to the company. 

This receiver and a joint receiver have reverted advising that the site is not an asset captured in their receiverships, and a further reference check identified a third receiver who has also confirmed that this site is not in their receivership.

Enquiries are ongoing in an effort to trace those responsible for the management and maintenance of the site.
