QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive as to what actions are being taken to address the rampant drug dealing in Moorfield Avenue and adjacent lanes.

REPLY:

The Estate Management Unit are aware of the anti-social behaviour issues at this location and are working closely with An Garda Síochána and local residents to address these matters.

Information has been provided to one resident through their local T.D regarding the procedure involved in extinguishing the public right of way and incorporating a laneway into their garden. It is not possible to incorporate the second laneway into residents’ gardens.

If residents witness drug dealing in this area, they should report the matter in the first instance to Ronanstown Garda Station on 01-6667000 and also to the Estate Management Unit on 01-4149000, by email to estmg@sdublincoco.ie or via WhatsApp on 086 0602586 for further investigation.

The Estate Management Unit investigates allegations of anti-social behaviour where the perpetrators can be identified as being members of a Council tenanted dwelling and appropriate action under the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 will be initiated in respect of the tenancy.
