Cathaoirleach's Business
That this Committee resolves that some trees be planted in the Clondalkin village and Harelawn areas to complement the great work being done by the Tidy Towns committees in these locations and to enhance their chances in the forthcoming competition. The area at Tuthills car park and at Main Street have been earmarked by the village group whilst the Harelawn group have plenty of suitable sites. The planting of trees would be a fitting tribute to the work of the Parks and Environment Department, and all council staff who have inspired the Tidy Towns groups from Clondalkin this year.
