Cathaoirleach's Business

That this Area Committee supports Saggart Tidy Towns in there call for SDCC to aid and support the movement of current Planters and erect No Drinking signs at the Saggart Village Plaza to help with anti-social issues at the Plaza

REPORT: SDCC are very supportive of community groups and acknowledge the huge value Tidy Town groups add to their local areas. The Saggart Tidy Towns group can contact SDCC @ publicrealm@sdublincoco.ie and a review will be carried out of the new proposed locations for the planters.

SDCC erect signs that relate to Byelaws which SDCC can enforce. Drinking alcohol in public places is under the remit of An Garda Síochána and therefore SDCC do not have the power to enforce no drinking in public places, or to erect "no drinking signs".
