MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 28, 2025

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor D. Donnelly

"This Tallaght area committee calls on the council to come up with a solution to the illegal dumping of rubbish and human excrement as the bushes are becoming over grown and unsafe on the Cookstown Road top of Kingswood view estate?"

REPORT:

The Council has examined the area in question and will commence a clean-up of the dumped materials and some localised strimming works will be undertaken. In addition, the location has been prioritised for vegetation clearance to improve visibility and enable passive surveillance, which will assist in deterring any ongoing anti-social behaviour. These works are scheduled to commence following the end of the bird nesting season on 31st August. To support these efforts members of the public are encouraged to report incidents of illegal dumping directly to South Dublin County Council and to report anti-social behaviour to An Garda Síochána.
