MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor C. Keane

"To ask the Manager  to include Firhouse road for 3 extra trees in the upcoming tree planting programme i.e. adjacent to 45 Woodbrook Park – Firhouse Road – this request in previously?"

REPLY:

Due to the extent of the established and maturing tree population in this general area of Rathfarnham and the increasingly large volume of requests for tree pruning and removals, the Parks Department is giving priority under the forthcoming Arboricultural Programme specifically to the maintenance and pruning of existing trees.  Consequently, a very minimal amount of tree planting will be undertaken next spring.  In this context, this request for tree planting adjacent to no. 45 Woodbrook Park, Firhouse Road will be put forward for consideration under the tree planting programme for spring 2010.
