SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

"This area committee agrees that the privately-owned car park behind Main Street, Clondalkin, is consistently affected by illegal dumping and that any and all efforts must be made to ensure that this is tackled. Further, this committee calls for a report on fines and warnings issued to business and property owners relating to this area and any other efforts previously taken to deal with this matter."

REPORT:

As always, the Council is grateful for assistance and support from local residents or others in their investigations of incidents of littering and illegal dumping as they arise. In the absence of substantive evidence / witness statements and the presence of such witnesses in court it is not possible for us to bring successful prosecutions.

It is acknowledged that incidences of littering and illegal dumping continue to occur at this location. The location is patrolled regularly by the Council's Litter Warden. An extensive clean up was carried out by the owner of the carpark in October 2020. The owner will be contacted again requesting action in relation to the latest occurrences of littering and dumping.
