MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the missing trees on Kennelsfort Road be replaced with semi-mature trees in the 2013/14 planting season."

REPORT:

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 number of trees that have either failed or been vandalised on 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.  Replacing the trees will be considered in the context of the 2014 budget.
