QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor David McManus

Can the manager please report on the existence of a greenway through the grounds of Coláiste Éanna Ballyroan Road and any council engagement with school management or Gardai to reduce anti-social behaviour in the area?

REPLY:

The Council's Land Use, Planning and Transportation Department developed a cycle track and walkway from Rosemount Shopping Centre on Marian Road to the school entrance at Ballyroan Crescent a number of years ago.  While additional walking and cycling routes may be in use through the grounds of Colaiste Eanna these would be on private land and are not under the control of the Council.  While the Council has been made aware of issues relating to anti-social behaviour in the area, such matters are for An Garda Siochana to investigate and address.  The Council has had no dealings to date with either school management or the Gardai on these matters.  Contact will be made with the Principal of Colaiste Eanna with regard to the issues they are having, and contact will also be made with the Gardai thereafter if this is deemed necessary.
