What can I do about anti-social behaviour in my estate?

First of all don’t assume the Council already knows about it. You should report any details of anti-social behaviour to the County Council’s Estate Management Section and An Garda Síochána. The telephone numbers are outlined below.

When reporting an incident you need to give full details of the complaint i.e. when it happened (date and time), the location, what happened, names/addresses of those involved (if available). Complaints can be put in writing, in person to an Official from the Estate Management Section or you can use the Freephone number 1800 333 444.

Complaints are dealt with confidentially.

What happens if I make a complaint about anti-social behaviour?

All complaints are investigated by the Council.

This involves:-

 

Interviews with people who are alleged to be involved in anti-social behaviour. In incidents where complaints are substantiated a written warning is issued.

Liaising with An Garda Síochána and other relevant bodies.

 

In cases where a problem persists the Council may take the following actions:-

Request a tenant to apply for an Excluding Order against a family member involved in anti-social behaviour. Such an Order excludes the particular family member from the Council dwelling and usually from the entire estate. The Council could apply for an Excluding Order.

OR

The Council may take Court Proceedings in order to repossess the dwelling.

 

When you were allocated your house by the Council you became more than a tenant.  You became a member of the community in which you live. 

The Council is trying with your co-operation to put a stop to anti-social behaviour.

You can be assured that your complaint will always be treated with the utmost confidentiality and that your name will not be mentioned in following up on your complaint.
