Tuesday, March 10, 2015

QUESTION NO. 29

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"To ask the Chief Executive what is the current position with the Tree Removal/Pruning Programme,  how many of the trees outlined for removal/pruning in the current programme within the Rathfarnham/Terenure/Templeogue Area have actually been dealt with?  What is the plan for the trees not dealt with in the current programme?"

REPLY:

The 2014-15 Tree Maintenance Programme was presented to the November 2014 meetings of the Rathfarnham/Templeogue-Terenure Area Committee.  Tree maintenance work has been in progress since then and will remain ongoing throughout the current year.  It is planned to present a full progress report on the current Tree Maintenance Programme to the April meeting of the Area Committee.  Work is currently underway to assess the extent of work completions to date and to project how the programme will progress over the course of 2015.  The report to be presented to the Area Committee Meeting in April will address all of the relevant issues.
