COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive write to the management of the shops in Quarryvale to ask them to ensure that the area around the shops is kept clean and free of litter, and that appropriate bins are provided for customers.

REPORT:

As provided in the Litter Pollution Act, 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
• remove graffiti from their property
• not to erect posters or signage without prior authorisations
• not to place commercial waste in a public bin

The owners/occupiers at this location will be reminded of their responsibilities under the Litter Pollution Acts. The Litter Warden will continue to monitor the area as part of routine patrols.
