MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 09, 2014

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for the removal of two tree stumps on Glendown Lawns as soon as possible?"

REPLY:

The tree stumps at Glendown Lawns have been listed for removal during the upcoming winter programme of tree maintenance. When a tree is felled by the Council, it is not always possible to remove the stump at the same time. Under these circumstances a short tree stump is left as a temporary measure, usually at around 1m high so that it does not constitute a trip hazard. Its removal is then completed as part of a collective programme of stump removal which is normally undertaken during the winter months between November and February.
