MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That the manager organises a team to attend at the lake at Rathfarnham Castle Park and clear the debris which has accumulated there, due to the accumulation of dead wood and other rubbish.

REPORT:

A major clean up of Rathfarnham Castle Lake was carried out by the Council's Drainage and Public Realm Sections in 2019 and any accumulations of material including dead wood were removed from the lake and stream by Council staff at that time.  The area is regularly maintained by the Public Realm Section.  This matter has been referred to supervisory staff in the Rathfarnham Castle depot for attention.  A crew has now been assigned to this task and the removal of rubbish and dead wood from the lake and stream has commenced and will be completed in the coming days.
