The firm in a reply to the\nDeputy has said in order to protect the safety of staff and customers and as a\ndirect result of anti-social behaviour they have taken the business decision\nnot to resume deliveries in a number of estates but would keep this decision\nunder review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Se\u00e1n\nCrowe said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA horrific\nattack on a Tesco van driver back in April (involving a pellet that was\nallegedly fired at a driver) resulted in household grocery deliveries being\nsuspended to number of estates in Tallaght. This action while understandable\nfollowing attacks has caused huge difficulties for older or less physically\nable members of the community or residents without access to a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving been\napproached recently by a number of these residents I wrote to Tesco Management\nto see if they would consider resuming deliveries. The reply was a negative\nwhich is extremely disappointing for residents. While I recognise there is\nongoing policing challenges in some areas this is in my opinion giving in to a\nminority of criminal elements and making the wider community and the most\nvulnerable suffer. The residents impacted by this decision deserve better as do\ndelivery drivers going into any Tallaght estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c I was hoping\nthat Tesco\u2019s would be show some flexibility after this length of time and I\nsuggested that they might consider making deliveries early in the morning or\nduring daylight hours but this suggestion has also been ruled out by Tesco\nmanagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is\nclearly a lack of confidence by Tesco Management in the ability of Garda\nAuthorities to police certain estates. I am also concerned with the very real\npossibility that other suppliers will take a similar approach <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn response\nto this I have asked Senior Garda in Tallaght to liaise with them and see if\ncan they be persuaded to return to carrying out deliveries in safety to all\nareas of my constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe a\nproven template does exist for tackling many of these incidents. Local\nresidents working together with youth groups the Local Authority, public\nrepresentatives, local leaders and the Garda Authorities can reduce and resolve\nmany of these incidents but needs imagination and a more proactive approach.\n\u201cENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crowe Expresses Disappointment at Tesco Decision Dublin South West TD Se\u00e1n Crowe has expressed disappointment at a reply he received from Tesco Management regarding his request for them to review and resume household deliveries to a number of estates in Tallaght.
