MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 24, 2021

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

Could the Chief Executive provide an update to the Enforcement issues, identified in a previous question by Cllr O'Connor (Item 67293), and what progress has he made in the matters?

REPLY:

A new complaint was received on 22nd April 2021- S7944 513/514 Main Street Tallaght and investigation has commenced.
It is understood that an enforcement action can appear to progress slowly but, unfortunately, this is unavoidable when engaging in an investigation that can result in criminal convictions. However, as previously outlined to the Members, where the Council closes an enforcement action, whether it was successfully concluded or not, it must inform all parties to it of the outcome. This should reassure constituents that in the absence of a letter to that effect, the enforcement action remains ongoing.
