COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, October 20, 2008

QUESTION NO 31.

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

“To ask the Manager, given the significance of Ballycullen Avenue as a main road artery in the Firhouse area, and given the fact that virtually no houses effectively adjoin this road, making it impossible for residents to cut the grass margins that exist in the road, if South Dublin County Council would now agree to cut these margins on a regular basis as they have become overgrown, and require maintenance, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”

REPLY:

The grass margins at this location are cut by the Parks Department as part of the grass-cutting programme.  During the grass-cutting season the location is cut as frequently as possible, which varies from 12 to 18 days depending on weather conditions, staff availability, machinery breakdown etc.

The Parks Department will review the grass cutting of these roadside margins with a view to increasing the cutting frequency.
