MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"Following our discussions last year around the hedging at Earlsfort Lawns, to ask the Chief Executive if it can be trimmed back now before breeding season begins? This has recently been requested by the Gardaí also as they have indicated anti- social behaviour is taking place there."

REPLY:

The hedge at Earlsfort Lawns has been added to the 2018/2019 hedge cutting programme. Every effort will be made to have the hedge pruned before the restrictions on the cutting of vegetation come into force under Section 40 of the Wildlife Act 1976 as amended by the Wildlife (Amendments) Act 2000 on the 1st March.
