WHO is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the build outs placed across the city during Covid to facilitate outdoor hospitality?

That was the question from Labour Party councillor Joe Leddin at this monthโ€™s local authority Metropolitan District meeting.

He was informed by Liam Browne of the councilโ€™s Transportation and Mobility Directorate that the businesses using the outdoor dining areas are generally required to maintain them and keep them tidy.

Any structural repairs, he explained, would be the responsibility of the local authority.
