MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

That this committee asks that data from SDCC Litter Wardens be sought to ascertain hot spots for illegal dumping in the laneways in Dublin 12. This data can then be used to decide on locations for CCTV in the area.

REPORT:

The litter wardens and waste enforcement officers are not aware of any particular hot spots for illegal dumping/littering within the Dublin 12 laneways but they have been requested to note areas where they are being requested to attend regularly. Members are requested to provide the location of such hot spots if they are aware of any.

Once locations are identified and shortlisted, the process of public consultation and the preparation of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA's) can commence.

Members should note that CCTV is not the panacea to illegal dumping and/or littering problems, and is generally only efffective where the identity of the person(s) responsible can be ascertained from the footage.
