MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 08, 2018

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor P. Foley

"To ask the Chief Executive what the maintenance schedule is for the green space beside Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Firhouse?  I would suggest that the area needs more regular maintenance because it is consistently comes up as an issue in members representations."

REPLY:

"All roads around Firhouse Village, including adjacent green spaces, are cleaned by the Council's road sweeping contractor on a monthly basis.  During the grass cutting season which commences in March/April the Council's Public Realm Section clean the grass areas in question ahead of grass cutting taking place and this is done on a fortnightly basis.  The maintenance of planted areas is carried out as required and typically this is twice per year.  The maintenance arrangements in place in Firhouse will be examined to determine if improvements to the schedule of work are required."
