COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 27, 2020

QUESTION NO. 22

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to present a report from his Housing Department on actions proposed, following their attendance at the meeting in the Council on 10 January 2020 with a delegation from Croi Ro Naofa GAA Club, Killinarden, Tallaght, in respect of ongoing serious difficulties at their Pitches and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

The Housing Department is committed to tackling the issues of Anti Social Behaviour at Killinarden Park and will continue to work alongside colleagues from the Environment Water and Climate Change Department, An Garda Siochana & representatives from Croi Na Raofa GAA Club to address these issues.

A local Estate Management clinic for reporting anti-social behaviour operates on a fortnightly basis but at present is not being used to any significant extent by local residents.

A revised approach has commenced under the recently adopted Anti-Social Behaviour strategy starting with targeted leafleting of the area to advise residents of the availability of the clinics and reporting options. Incidents of Anti Social Behaviour can be reported to Council Officials or An Garda Siochana in strict confidence. The Council will take appropriate action where necessary if a Council tenant is found to be engaging in Anti-Social Behaviour

CCTV cameras in this area have been repaired and should assist in deterring and detecting anti-social behaviour.
