QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"To ask the Manager to give a report on outstanding issues regarding tree pruning in the Rathfarnham area as by questions and membersnet requests listed below.

• Tree to be pruned back blocking the street light outside 77 Dodder Park Road.
• Tree to be pruned back blocking the street light outside 41 Pinewood Park.
• Tree to be pruned back blocking the street light outside 660 Woodview Cottages.
• The clearing of dead laurel trees and pruning and clean up at the bank of the Owendoher River at the Laurel Apartments?"

REPLY:

Due to the presence of over-head wires, it is necessary to have the trees outside 77 Dodder Park Road and 41 Pinewood Park pruned by a contract tree surgeon.  Arrangements will be made to have this work completed as soon as possible.  The tree at 60 Woodview Cottages is scheduled for pruning within the current week.  The clearing, pruning and clean up of the bank of the Owendoher River at the Laurel Apartments would be a matter for the management of the apartment complex..
