QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive if he has completed repairs to our open spaces damaged during last years bonfire season and will he confirm the final total cost of the whole operation and will he make a statement

REPLY:

The details relating to Halloween bonfires in 2020 are as set out below.  The figure of €150,000 given for the total cost associated with these is still an estimated figure, as final reinstatement of sites which require this treatment cannot be carried out until weather and ground conditions improve.   It is expected that such reinstatement work will be carried out in March and April.

  2020
Waste removed prior to Halloween (tonnes) 237
Waste removed after Halloween 355
Total waste removed 592
Cost €150,000
Number of bonfires 283
