MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 25, 2021

QUESTION NO. 22

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

To ask the manager to provide a progress update on the wildflower planting in zones A, B, C, in Waterstown Park. Particularly, if all planned works for the year to date have been completed as planned and any challenges faced.

REPLY:

Grass cutting was carried out in the eastern half of Area A and all of Area B in the week commencing 10th May. Initially it was proposed to cut area B only but following an onsite inspection it was noted that the grass in a section of Area A was becoming dominant. It was therefore necessary to also cut this area to encourage the wildflower diversity.

A review of areas A, B and C will be carried out in late summer to determine if further works are required in the autumn/winter.
