MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"That this area committee calls for a report on the management of water levels in the Camac at Clondalkin Park.  It appears that the level of water in the privately owned Mill Pond is being adversely affected by the operation of sluices at the Sandy Hole area.  This is endangering wildlife at the Mill Pond which has long been a very important Eco system in the Park."

REPORT:

The SDCC Drainage section has visited the site, carried out works and restored the functionality of the penstocks (sluices).

To carry out the works it was necessary to allow the level of the Mill Pond to fall in order to gain access and carry out the restoration works safely.

As the works have now been completed the management of the flows have been returned to normal.
