QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive if a watering regime is needed for the street trees that were planted over the last year?

REPLY:

The annual programme for the planting of street trees involves the planting of trees at approximately 2,500 locations each year and due to the large numbers involved this work is tendered and outsourced on a supply, plant and maintain arrangement.  The successful bidder is responsible for the maintenance of the planted trees for a period of 2 years and this includes watering requirements.
