MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 25, 2013

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor C. Jones

"To ask the Manager to report on the lack of trees on the section of Kennelsfort Road Upper nearest to the junction of the N4 and to state if these are to be replaced?"

REPLY:

The arboricultural programme for 2013 was presented to the Lucan Area Committee on 18th December 2012.  The focus of the programme is primarily on tree pruning and removals. New planting are only being considered in a very limited number of circumstances. 

There are a small number of trees that have either failed or been vandalised on this section of Kennelsfort Road.  While it is the Councils intention to replace these trees, the works are subject to the availability of the necessary resources required to undertake the works.
