QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Chief Executive make a report on Hazel Hill halting site regarding anti social behaviour and report on the damage to the houses that were set on fire and in the report could the Chief Executive comment is this site fit for purpose under health and safety grounds?".

REPLY: 

In recent weeks, Dublin Fire Brigade and An Garda Síochána attended Hazel Hill following notification of fires to properties on the site and Garda investigations are ongoing in relation to this matter.

The Housing Maintenance team have completed initial inspections of both dwellings and have reported that there is extensive fire damage to both properties. The units have been secured and are not accessible due to the severity of the damage. Further inspections are due to take place to determine the refurbishment works required and associated costs.
