QUESTION NO. 7 

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive if he has any role with having the entrance gate to the Round Garden social housing apartment complex in Saggart, which is currently out of order, repaired?

REPLY:

The management company Multi Unit Management Services (MUMS), who are responsible for maintenance issues with the gates have reported that the gates have been repaired on three separate occasions in the past 18 months. They have advised that on each occasion, the gates were damaged within 48 hours of being repaired and this level of damage needs to be addressed with residents. 

The Council has 27 tenants in this development and pay an annual management fee to MUMS. The Estate Management team have been requested to liaise directly with the management company and with Council tenants living in Round Gardens in an effort to identify the reason for this persistent damage and to identify a solution.
