"To ask the Chief Executive to detail actions taken and proposed in respect of the many recently reported incidents of anti social behaviour and littering in and around the new Old Bawn sports pavilion in Dodder Valley Park which is of great concern to the local community and in reporting will he also state if there is any progress towards the opening of the pavilion?".

REPLY:

We have increased the patrols of Public Realm staff and we have also increased the frequency of litter and waste collections in the viciniity of the old Bawn Pavilion. We have liaised with the Gardai who have increased their patrols in the area who have agreed to regularly visit the pavilion.

As an additional deterent, we have arranged for an audio device to be added to the CCTV at the Pavilion to enable us to inform people loitering in the area that the area is covered by CCTV.

It is anticipated that the formal opening of the Pavilion will be in June.
