Centre has 'responsibility' for pest control - Council

Kilcullen Community Centre has a responsibility to help deal with the rats infestation in Pinkeen Stream, according to Kildare County Council, writes Brian Byrne.

That's the view of Council officials in a report to Tuesday's meeting of the Naas Municipal District.

The Council was responding to a motion by Cllr Sorcha O'Neill on the issue, highlighted last week by local parents and the Diary. The councillor had asked that KCC deal with the matter.

In response, Senior Executive Parks Superintendent Simon Wallace said that the Council is making arrangements to deal with the infestation, but that the Community Centre also had a responsibility for pest control, as much of the stream was located on its property.
