MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

"To ask the Chief Executive to give details of costs associated to the repair of green spaces due to the damage caused by scrambler in the Tallaght area in the past 12 months"

REPLY:

It is not possible to isolate all costs relating to these repairs in the Councils accounting system.  While some of the repairs to parks and open spaces are carried out by the Council's own staff, some of the areas of more extensive damage to playing pitches have been repaired by a specialist contractor who deals with the care of pitch surfaces.  It is estimated that this type of repair costs on average €5,000 to €10,000 per year in the Tallaght area.
