QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"To ask the Chief Executive if the tree at the back of 1 Earlsfort Road could be pruned back as it's blocking light and is hanging over the wall of the residents home?"

 

REPLY:

This mature oak tree is situated on an open space area alongside the rear of the property at Earlsfort Road and provides screening to the rear of houses in Rochford Crescent.  The tree forms part of a group of retained mature trees in this open space.  The tree has been recently inspected.  There is a lot of ivy growth on the trunk and branches of the tree and this has been listed for removal to enable a further inspection to be carried out in order to determine if further maintenance intervention is required.
