SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 24, 2018

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"To ask the Chief Executive to comment on whether the area at Bolbrook/Whitestown stream would benefit from additional tree planting?  The area is maturing, with existing trees, but does still suffer from use as a bonfire site and dumping. Would the planting of additional trees, with limited growth, such as blossom trees, limit the use if the site for bonfires and encourage use by residents and walkers?"

REPLY:

"The tree planting programme for winter 2018/spring 2019 is currently being compiled and the open space area along Whitestown stream at Bolbrook will be assessed to determine its suitablity for tree planting.  The Council would welcome contact from local residents or a local community group who may wish to get actively involved in planting trees at this location as local participation may help to deter use of the area for bonfires and promote positive interest in the enhancement of the open space area through tree planting."
