SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 14, 2025

MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council follows up in relation to installing a dedicated commercial bin storage area to resolve the issue of overflowing bins crammed onto the island on the Main Street in Rathfarnham as per the attached photograph

REPORT:

South Dublin County Councils Waste Enforcement Section have been in communication with the properties along Main Street outlining their obligations under not only SDCCs Household and Commercial Waste By-Laws, but also their obligations under the Waste Management Act 1996, as amended. Waste Enforcement have also issued a number of fixed penalty notices to commercial premises for failing to adhere to the said by-laws, as well as legally enforceable directions under Section 14 of the Waste Management Act.

The onus is on the producer of waste to manage their wastes in a compliant manner.

Our colleagues in Transport/Roads are completing works on the island at present which will be an additional resource for pedestrians and commercial customers alike and will reduce the space therefore minimising the potential for waste mismanagement.
