MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee acknowledges that the arrangements in place for the upkeep of the facade, pillars and plaza of Clondalkin Civic Office are inadequate and agrees to request measures to address this.

REPORT:

The upkeep of the façade of the Clondalkin Civic Office building is included in the cyclical programme of works of the Council’s Facilities Management.  Tenders regarding grounds maintenance and the cleaning of windows, facias, soffits, and architectural cladding / facades are currently in process.  Painting of the pillars and steelwork is planned with estimates sought for this specific work.

Painting of the internal public areas within the Clondalkin Civic Offices was carried out in 2022.

The Public Realm Section maintain the plaza and shrubberies in front of the Civic Offices.  The area is litter picked three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.  The shrubberies at the front of the building were pruned recently and top dressed with bark mulch.  Litter was also taken out of the planters and 3 bicycles were removed from the river Camac.
