MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

In light of a number of complaints from parents of young children about dog fouling on or around the Carrigwood playground, that this area committee requests the installation of signage as previously proposed as well as consideration of other practicable measures such as fencing and increased dog warden visits.

REPORT:

'No dog fouling' signage will be erected at the playspace at Carrigwood as requested.  Dog wardens and park rangers will also be requested to include the area in their patrols to see if dog owners can be identified and measures taken to address the dog fouling issue there.  Fencing was not included in the development of this playspace as it was considered not to be necessary.  The provision of fencing under the public realm improvement works programme can be considered if this is now deemed to be necessary.
