MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor J. Hannon

That a report be presented in relation to the cutting back of excessive vegetation on the banks of the Dodder with a view to facilitating angling.

REPORT:

The Council is supportive of the Angling groups that are based in South Dublin, particularly since they have a positive attitude to conservation.  Any group that has a particular issue with vegetation that may require removal in order to facilitate angling can arrange to discuss the matter with the Council.  The Heritage Officer will also be included in this process and will be afforded the opportunity to input into any proposed works.

Any agreed works, arising from such discussions, will have regard to good Biodiversity practice as well as adherence to the Council’s statutory obligations.
