MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 17, 2018

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"To ask the Chief Executive if it might be possible for more trees to be planted in the Glenfield Area of North Clondalkin.  Residents here are delighted with the trees planted there last year and would love more to be planted, with perhaps some of the apple trees from the community orchards included." 

REPLY:

Additional ornamental tree planting is planned for open spaces in the Glenfield area as part of the winter 2018/Spring 2019 Tree Planting Programme. 

Experience has shown that planting of apple trees and community orchards is more appropriate in neighbourhood parks rather than residential open spaces in order to minimise risk of fruits being utilised as objects in anti-social behaviour.
