“Halloween is a magic time – a time for games, dressing up and story telling†said Mayor Caitriona Jones, “Unfortunately, it also a time where a lot of damage takes place on open spaces – dumping, bonfires and damage to property. This wastes a lot of our resources, which could be spent in a more positive way providing facilities for all of us. This year I am asking everyone in South Dublin County to check out the programme of events, get involved in a positive way and most of all to enjoy the festivitiesâ€
South Dublin County Council offices are closed this weekend including bank Holiday Monday. Normal office opening hours will resume on Tuesday 1st Nov at 9.00am. For all emergency enquiries, please contact 4574907
