MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 12, 2022

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

Firhouse, Ballycullen and Oldcourt residents report an increase in littering locally since the pandemic, particularly in the vicinity of the shopping centre and the schools. Could management ensure that extra litter picking takes place and outline what if any additional enforcement and public awareness measures might be taken.

REPORT:

The owner or person responsible for a place to which the public has access is required to keep the area adjoining their premises litter free, regardless of how the litter got there. This places an obligation on business people to keep footpaths, pavements and gutters within a 100m radius of their premises litter free. Arrangements will be made for the area to be patrolled more frequently by the Litter Warden Service and action taken where appropriate.
