QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Manager how many requests for Bulbs were made in this LEA under the Bulbs not Bonfire initiative, how many were successful and what precentage this represented of the overall number distributed.

REPLY:

In 2021 demand for bulbs was high and all bulbs were allocated very quickly on a first come first served basis. Closing date for this scheme was 15th October.

A total of 138 enquiries were received in relation to the Bulbs not Bonfires this year. 300 bags of mixed pollinator bulbs, an increase on 2020 of 60 bags, were given out to 83 groups across the county.

16 groups from Rathfarnham, Templeogue and Firhouse received bulbs.
