COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 09, 2012
QUESTION NO. 4
QUESTION: Councillor J. Lahart
"To ask the Manager to outline the progress to date in the arboricultural programme?"
REPLY:
The Arboriculture Programme for 2012 was presented to the Area Committees in November / December 2011 following briefing sessions with the local Elected Members.
It was agreed with the Elected Members that the 2012 Arboriculture Programme would be prioritised, based on clearly identified criteria, and that it would be a programme that was achievable within the resources available to undertake it. The first part of the programme was carried out between December 2011 and March 2012 and a progress report on the programme was presented to the April Meeting of the Rathfarnham Area Committee.
It is fair to say that the progress to date has been very good and the plan is to continue with this programme to the end of 2012, subject to the availablity of resources. It will be noted from the report that many trees originally not included in the programme have been attended to and this was based on an "on site" assessment by local staff of the particular condition of individual trees.
The 2013 draft programme is under consideration at present and is based on assessments undertaken during the year, representations from Elected Members as well as individual householders. This draft will be discussed with the Elected Members in October/November 2012 and it is planned to present it, when agreed, to the November 2012 ACM.
