SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE
Monday, June 23, 2025
MOTION NO. 6
MOTION: Councillor A. Smyth
"This Area committee calls on a review of CCTV across Tallaght with the intention to review areas where illegal dumping is taking place?"
REPORT:
In accordance with the LGMA codes of practice for the operation of CCTV for the purposes of prevention, detection and prosecution of waste and litter offences, both the litter enforcement and the waste enforcement sections are continually reviewing sites subject to complaints across the county, including those in Tallaght.
In proving the necessity for the use of CCTV the local authority must be satisfied that there is a number of documented complaints and that these are demonstrated in any proposed business cases.
In line with the codes of practice less intrusive measures in relation to public lighting, signage and increased inspections have taken place at a number of locations under review.
Initially four business cases were submitted to South Dublins oversight board, including one in relation to Montpellier Estate.
The oversight board met on the 30th May last with a recommendation to follow to the Chief Executive.
