MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Committee requests that South Dublin County Council plant a tree to commemorate Joe Williams birthday on 15th April at Mount St. Joseph Graveyard?"

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council will allow memorial trees within its parks (areas under the control and/or maintenance of the Council) subject to the availability of suitable locations. Unfortunately the location requested for this commemorative tree is not a suitable location. The location of the tree shall be at the discretion of South Dublin County Council.  The Council will be responsible for the selection of tree species, planting and maintenance works required. In the case of a tree, no plaques/memorial plates or other features will be permitted.  A fee of €300 will be charged as a contribution to the cost of associated works including administration.  In the event of vandalism or failure of a tree (within 18 months of planting), the Council will arrange on a one-off basis for a replacement.  The Council reserves the right to remove or relocate a tree at any time should it be considered necessary. Requests should be sent in writing to Environment, Water and Climate Change Dept, Administrative Officer, Public Realm Administration section.
