SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 20, 2021

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

The response to Members rep 1628826 on 30/03/20201 stated that the Council are currently investigating the registered business owner of this building in order to write to them requesting they remove this graffiti from their building. Six months later the response to Members rep 165570 stated that 'we are currently awaiting Land Registry details so we can write to the registered owner of this building requesting the remove this graffiti as soon as possible'. That it has taken at least six months to establish ownership of 4 Main St., Clondalkin, without having yet requested them to remove the 'EDS' graffiti is a very unsatisfactory outcome. That this Area Committee receives an explanation for the delay with addressing the graffiti raised in the members reps and how this matter will be progressed."

REPORT:

A land registry search was sought in order to identify the owner of the property. The search had come back to the Department as inconclusive. This process can be time consuming and protracted in some cases.  The Council made contact with the restaurant Manager who was instructed to arrange removal of the graffiti. The Litter Warden has confirmed the graffiti has been removed.
