QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"To ask the Manager to have the Willow trees pruned and repaired at Whitechurch Stream Willbrook Grove?"

REPLY:

The Drainage Maintenance Section's function in relation to rivers is to clear debris to allow the river to flow freely and minimise risk of flooding.  In this instance, the Area Engineer, Drainage Maintenance has agreed in conjunction with the Parks Department to carry out the clearance of the fallen tree trunks from the river at this location.

This work will be carried out over the next few days.
