Claire Byrne Show : Waterford Council crackdown on Illegal Dumping

Have a listen to this report from the Claire Byrne Show on RTÉ Radio 1., where reporter Brian O’Connell spent some time with our Environmental team in Dungarvan recently.

The Council’s environmental team is tackling illegal dumping head-on, consistently addressing both household and large-scale commercial illegal dumping in problem areas.

The report is well worth a listen and shows the extent of the issue. The cleanup effort is part of a broader campaign to maintain cleaner, safer communities.

Tuath to open applications for new Cost Rental homes in Waterford

This October, Tuath Housing will launch applications for 49 brand-new cost rental homes at the Mountneil development in Waterford City. Built by Frisby Homes, these energy-efficient, A-rated two- and three-bedroom houses offer high-quality living at exceptional value. With rents set at €950 for a two-bed and €1,195 for a three-bed, these homes come at an impressive 28% below the local market average for similar properties. The homes will be delivered in two phases, with availability expected between December this year and March 2025.

Cost rental housing is designed to provide affordable, secure accommodation for those on middle incomes, with rents based solely on the cost of construction, management, and maintenance. The Mountneil homes are perfectly located in Carrickpherish near a variety of services and amenities, including the South East Technological University Waterford, the popular Waterford Greenway, and SETU Arena offering state-of-the-art fitness and sporting facilities. The new homes represent the first-ever delivery of cost rental housing by an Approved Housing Body in Co. Waterford.

Tuath Housing is proud to deliver these homes with the support of Waterford City and County Council through the Department of Housing’s Cost Rental Equity Loan (CREL) scheme and private financing from the Housing Finance Agency (HFA). Applications will be processed through an online lottery system, with successful applicants notified once the process concludes.

As one of Ireland’s largest not-for-profit Approved Housing Bodies, Tuath Housing is a leader in the delivery of cost rental homes nationwide. With over 400 cost rental homes already delivered in counties Dublin, Kildare, Louth, and Westmeath—and more than 1500 on the way—Tuath remains committed to providing secure and affordable housing to communities across Ireland.

Sean McKeown, Chief Executive of Waterford City and County Council said, “Waterford City and County Council continues to lead the way in delivering new social and affordable homes. The development of cost rental homes in Mountneil is yet another important step in towards providing affordable accommodation. The need for affordable housing for households who do not qualify for social housing, but who are not in a position to purchase in the private market is well recognised nationally, and I am pleased to see ongoing progress being made in Waterford.”

For more information on cost rental or to apply, please visit https://tuathhousing.ie/cost-rental/

Tuath Housing CEO Sean O’Connor commented “At Tuath, our mission is to provide high-quality, secure homes that residents can be proud of, while ensuring they are as affordable as possible. The Mountneil cost rental development is another significant step forward in bringing this long-term, secure rental option to people nationwide.”

Waterford City and County Council announces 3-Day Amnesty for Bulky Goods!

overall poster Bulky Amnesty Days 24

In October, Waterford City and County Council will introduce three days of amnesty for bulky household items.

The bulky goods amnesty applies to items such as couches, mattresses, beds and other large items belonging to domestic householders and can be deposited for free in Lismore, Kilmacthomas and Tramore.

Welcoming the initiative, Ella Ryan, Environmental Education Officer with Waterford City and County Council said, “The objective of this amnesty is to give people the opportunity to get rid of large household furniture for free and to support anti-dumping intervention projects and the recycling of bulky goods.

“Waterford City and County Council has been particularly successful in prosecuting those responsible for illegally dumping household waste and bulky goods.  The reason we are proactive in pursing these perpetrators is because bulky goods that are illegally dumped have an adverse effect on the environment…they are unsightly, difficult and costly to remove, and generally serve to encourage further dumping in that area.”

Ms Ryan added, “While large goods such as furniture, couches, wardrobes, bedframes and mattresses will be accepted, items such as trampolines and toys, waste electrical items and construction and demolition waste will not be accepted.”

The Bulky Goods Amnesty days take place at:

  • The Water Depot in Owbeg, Lismore from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, October 5th
  • The Roads Depot in Scrahan, Kilmacthomas from 10am to 1pm on Saturday October 12th
  • Civic Amenity Site in Tramore from 10am to 1pm on Saturday October 19th

New regulations on XL Bully Dogs to be introduced on October 1st

In July 2024, the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD announced a ban on XL Bully dogs. The Minister announced the ban in the interest of public safety following a number of recent attacks by XL Bully dogs.

From October 1st, 2024, these new regulations will prohibit the importing, breeding, selling and re-homing of XL Bully type dogs and from February 1st, 2025 it will be illegal to own an XL Bully dog without a Certificate of Exemption.

As a cross of restricted breeds, XL Bully type dogs are currently subject to existing additional controls. This means when in a public place, these dogs must be securely muzzled and kept on a strong chain or leash (maximum 2 metres in length) by a person over 16 years of age who is capable of controlling the dog.

All XL Bully dog owners will be able to apply for a Certificate of Exemption between October 1st, 2024 and January 31st, 2025. This certificate will be unique to each XL Bully type dog and owner. It will specify the dog’s licence details, microchip details, neutering details, age and description. It will also specify the dog owner’s name, address, date of birth and contact number.

The following documentation is required before the Certificate of Exemption can be issued:

Copy of Valid Dog Licence: Under the Control of Dogs Act 1986, every dog must be licensed and kept under effective control and must have a collar bearing the owner’s name and address. Failure to do so can result in on-the-spot fines of €100 and further court fines of up to €2,500.  Licences are available from any Post Office or online at www.licences.ie.  Annual licences cost €20 per year, and lifetime licences cost €140 which cover the lifetime of the dog.

Microchipping Certificate: It is a legal requirement in Ireland to have all dogs implanted with a microchip and registered on an approved database by the time they are 12 weeks old.

Owners must take the following steps:

  1. Have your dog microchipped by a registered implanter.
  2. Have your details registered on a Government approved database that has been approved by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine
  3. Be in possession of a printed Microchipping Certificate.

Confirmation of neutering: Owners must arrange to have their XL Bully type dog neutered by a registered Veterinary Practitioner in order to receive a Certificate of Exemption. XL Bully dogs must be permanently neutered. Male dogs must be neutered through castration, and female dogs must be spayed. The procedure must be carried out by a registered veterinary surgeon, or they must confirm that it has been previously neutered. 

Photographic proof of identity of owner:  i.e. copy of passport, drivers licence, public services card, etc.

Proof of address of owner: i.e. copy of utility bill or bank statement within previous three months, etc.

From October 1st, 2024 all documentation can be submitted to Waterford City and County Council via the Council website.

Tales of the Little Blue Flower – heritage exchange between Mid and East Antrim and Waterford

The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Beth Adger MBE was delighted to meet with Portlaw Heritage Group and culture and heritage staff from Waterford City and County Council during their visit to Mid-Antrim Museum at The Braid in Ballymena as part of a two-day study trip.

The study visit included guided tours of Raceview Mill, Broughshane and Gracehill Village, which recently secured UNESCO World Heritage status.

The theme of the project is based on commonalities in industrial heritage, concentrating on textiles such as the linen and cotton industries. A special event was held exploring how flax was traditionally grown, retted and scutched as part of the linen making process at Tenth Glen Heritage Farms who are involved in the cross-border project.

The trip was funded by Creative Communities on a Shared Island, an initiative of Creative Ireland. The project aims to develop connections between communities in Mid and East Antrim and Waterford through a variety of culture and heritage projects.

The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, Alderman Beth Adger MBE said, “We are pleased to see this joint two-year project underway between Mid and East Antrim Borough Council with Waterford City and County Council.

“Building Shared Creative Communities supports deepening understanding of the importance of how our industrial heritage shaped our locality and the potential of our micro creative industries and what is in common between the two areas.”

Katherine Collins, Creative Ireland Coordinator, Waterford City and County Council commented, “Creative Communities on a Shared Island funding provides us with a wonderful opportunity for Waterford and Mid and East Antrim to develop and enhance our shared sense of community. This can be achieved by fostering creative opportunities for connection through social interaction, engagement and dialogue and by examining our shared industrial heritage including the importance of craftmanship and innovation in the past and for the future

“We were delighted to have visited various locations in Mid and East Antrim and have had interesting discussions about shared heritage, creativity and culture which forms the basis for further collaboration. We look forward to hosting a return visit to Waterford and Portlaw later this year.”

Tramore’s latest amenity bowls over boarders

On Thursday, September 19th, the sun shone as Tramore’s newest outdoor amenity, the Skatepark on the Lower Prom, was officially opened by Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Jason Murphy.

The high-quality facility was constructed in concrete and combines elements of bowl and street plaza features, designed with the specific needs of skateboarders in mind.

Cutting the ribbon, the Mayor said, “I’m delighted to officially open this top-class facility.  The skatepark is a wonderful addition to Tramore as it provides a welcome, free, fun, active space for all to enjoy.

“Set on the Prom and looking across at the sea, this skatepark is the icing on the cake for the town of Tramore.  Tramore combines natural beauty, fun, family-friendly amenities, and opportunities for healthy pursuits seamlessly.  The addition of the skatepark to the town is yet another asset that will make Tramore an even more inviting and welcoming destination for young people, locals and tourists alike.

“Waterford City and County Council will continue to invest in facilities such as the skatepark, to encourage healthier pursuits and a more sustainable lifestyle for all.

I’d like to commend the Environment Department, particularly Project Manager Brian Murray, and SEO Dawn Wallace, for bringing this high-calibre amenity to Tramore, in a very timely manner and for giving full consideration to the aesthetics of the structure.”

Concluding the Mayor said,

“Finally, I would like to wish all our skateboarders, young and old, the absolute best as they make full use of this brilliant new facility. May it be a place where skills are honed, friendships are formed, and lasting memories are made. From skating across the rails, perfecting a kickflip or an ollie, to working on tricks in the air, there is something for everyone here. The design of this park allows for creativity to develop and for you to work on your own unique style.”

The skatepark was designed with input from the local skateboarding community and the feedback has been very positive.  Those in attendance, including 4th class pupils of Tramore Educate Together NS and their teacher Katie McAuliffe, enjoyed a skateboarding demonstration by local skateboarders Peter Breen, John Twomey, Heather O’ Connor, David Hartley and Taylor O’Brien.

Dawn Wallace, Senior Executive Officer, Waterford City and County Council said,

“It was important that the views of those who will use the park be taken into consideration, and that input was invaluable throughout the process.  By consulting with the skateboarding community, we were able to deliver a practical, yet top-class skatepark that is accessible to all ages and all abilities.”

Specialist companies Browne Brothers Site Services Limited and Vulcano Skateparks were engaged to undertake the detailed design and construction.  The Skatepark was constructed in a sustainable manner, applying the principles of the circular economy in terms of reuse of materials and life cycle costing.  Any stone or concrete removed from the original skatepark was brought to a recycling facility where it will be crushed and reused as fill material on future projects.

Waterford City and County Council secured funding of €202,371 from the Community Recognition Fund from the Department of Rural and Community Development with additional funds of €90,924 provided by Waterford City and County Council.
