To ask the Chief Executive if he will present a report detailing the effects on the Council's Tree Programme arising from the challenges presented on Ophelia Day 16th October last; will he give details on the number of Trees damaged in that regard and give an update on actions being taken in the matter.

REPLY:

Arising from storm Ophelia on October 16th last, the Council’s tree maintenance crews removed 58 trees and carried out remedial tree pruning works on 32 trees across the county. The clean-up operation and associated remedial works on trees post storm Ophelia took precedence over the Council’s planned Tree Maintenance Programme for a period of approximately 3 weeks.
