COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, June 12, 2023
QUESTION NO. 3
QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello
To ask the manager how many reports of intentionally damaged trees have you received and what cost has been incurred to replace
REPLY:
The table below gives details of trees which have been vandalised or illegally pruned or removed over the past 12 months in the county. These incidents generally fall into one of two categories - (1) vandalism of young trees which have been newly planted, and (2) the illegal pruning or removal of a tree by residents who take it upon themselves to do so. The replacement of a young, newly planted tree can be done at a cost similar to the original cost to plant the tree. In the case of the necessary removal and replacement of a more mature tree which has been badly damaged then these costs can be substantially higher. An estimate of the total cost to replace trees and deal with issues as listed below is not available at the present time however this estimate is currently being prepared.
