MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Monday, April 27, 2009

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor S. Crowe

"To ask the Manager will he confirm that he proposes to remove some of the trees close to the junction where works are being carried out at Alpine Rise and that they will be replaced in the next planting cycle in the immediate area?"

REPLY:

The current site works, which are pre-enabling works for the Luas Red Line Extension Contract, do not include for the removal of any trees adjacent to Alpine Rise. When the balance of  works is undertaken under a future phase, a small number of trees will be removed to accommodate a 2.5m high acoustic wall. New trees will then be replanted as space allows.
