MOTION NO. 23

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach’s Business

"That the Chief Executive provide a report on the outcome of my question at the April LAC (that he write to Irish Land Securities or their representatives to get them to remove dangerous and overgrown trees on their lands along the laneway between Wheatfield Road and Oak Court Estate), and that a discussion take place on the options open to the Council, should the land owners refuse or delay, to remove certain trees on this laneway that appear dangerous and are a source of ongoing and persistent concern to local residents."

REPORT:

Following research on Irish Land Securities, we were advised to write to a solicitor who we were informed acted on behalf of the company.  We received a reply back from this solicitors to say they were unaware of such a client.  In the meantime, we have discovered that the actual name of the company was Dublin Land Securities, and all their interests in the lands have been transferred to Barry Lyons and Graham Kenny who are now the registered owners of the lands in question.  We will now write to these owners and inform the members of their response as soon as possible.
