MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"To ask the Manager to arrange for the bushes that form the border of the lands at Greentree's Park be cut back as a matter of urgency. These bushes are made up of some very thorny species and pose a serious threat to passersby particularly young children in buggies?" 

REPLY:

The hedgerow surrounding Greentrees Park is not normally cut until the bird nesting season has finished.  The branches overhanging the path are not considered to be dangerous but may nevertheless be an inconvenience to pedestrians.  The hedgerow will be pruned as part of the 2010/2011 Arboricultural Works Programme.
