MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, November 13, 2023

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor M. Lynch

Can the Chief Executive advise if the council and its contractors continues to use conventional acrylic (plastic based) paints.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council to date has purchased their paints through a framework agreement that was drawn up by Dublin City Council.  The paints on this framework were conventional acrylic (plastic based) paints.

This framework is now finished, and South Dublin County Council are currently in the process of tendering for a new framework for the supply of paint products.  Under our Green Public Procurement responsibilities we have included a requirement that where possible an ecologically friendly paint should be supplied for use by the Council.
