MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the number of anti-dog fouling notices erected over the past 12 months in the Lucan and Palmerstown-Fonthill electoral areas, and the number of prosecutions taken against those whose dog foul has not been picked up by their owners.

REPLY:

A total of 21 requests for anti-dog fouling signage was received by the Environmental Awareness Office between March 2020 and March 2021 for the Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin area.  All requests for signage are passed to the depot staff who visit the site and assess it for suitability - please note not all locations are suitable for signage. Groups are reminded that such signage erected must have due regard for public health and safety, and must not impede visibility or restrict traffic, cycling and pedestrian flow. If it is proposed to co-use a pole, authorisation will be required.
