QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"Despite numerous Members Reps e.g. Members Reps. ID: 1659099, the utility companies that own the gratified utility boxes at the entrance to the Riversdale Estate on Watery Lane in Clondalkin will not clean them. To ask the Chief Executive what is the amount of the fine in euro that the utility company should be fined because of their refusal to clean the utility box?"

REPLY:

The Litter Warden for the area inspected the utility boxes and reported that there are no identifying marks to indicate which utility company is the owner. The Council has written to the various utility companies to ascertain ownership and to arrange removal of the graffiti. Once responsibility is confirmed, the Council will proceed in accordance with the memorandum of understanding in place with the relevant utility.
