The ‘owner’ of Dartmouth Square is a spiv and a wide-boy; the state of the park is his responsibility.

The first part of your sentence is irrelevant, and you are correct in the second part. Unfortunately the upkeep of the park is his prerogative and the level of his responsibility only extends to the safety of the public. As the public have no right of access and once the appropriate signage is in place, then there is little one can do to force him to improve his gardening. However, the point is well made that if the perimeter of the property is in a state which may cause injury, then Mr. O’Gara would be well advised to maintain such boundaries in a safe condition.
