MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

Cathaoirleachs Business

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the on the Poddle Flood Alleviation works programme.

The Poddle needs to be cleared every year to ensure the water flows downstream in flood season.  Maintenance is needed on the overgrowth in the Tymon area behind Osprey where bad flooding has occurred in the past.  The overgrowth is also causing rat problems in the area and potentially will make the flooding worse." 

REPORT:

"The clearing of weeds from the Poddle river channel by Drainage Maintenance from the Tymon ponds to Wainsfort will commence on Monday 3rd October. The crew doing the works were delayed on works on the Jobstown stream but these are now complete. With regard to the Flood alleviation Scheme a Project Brief has been completed and the procurement process to appoint consultants is underway. Interim works in Tymon Park are also currently being assessed."
