MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 08, 2025

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor N. Fennell

That this council acknowledge the previous home security 'Door Lock Scheme' by South Dublin County Council, and in doing so, call for its reintroduction, toward assisting efforts to combat burglaries and making communities safe.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council acknowledges the significant benefits of the Home Security Scheme in supporting safer communities, particularly for older residents living independently. The scheme encountered operational difficulties last year due to staffing constraints within the contracted service provider, which affected its delivery.
 
South Dublin County Council is currently engaging with South Dublin Partnership to assess options for reinstating the scheme and ensuring it's sustainable operation going forward.
