MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

That this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive for an update on the provision of additional bee hives in Waterstown Park/Liffey Valley/Mill Lane Palmerstown.

 

REPORT:

The apiary in Mill Lane which was established April 2018 currently consists of one colony of bees. Subject to everything going well, the resident bee keeper plans to install 2 further colonies in the apiary in March/April. Future plans could see this rise to a total of 5 colonies in 2020.

At this stage there are no plans to introduce an additional apiary however the matter will be reconsidered in the event that an application is received for one, subject to the identification of a suitable site.
