MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive for an update regarding the agreement for removal of cut grass from paths/footpaths in North Clondalkin?

REPLY:

When grass cutting is taking place in the vicinity of paths some clippings can end up on the path.  This can be caused when clippings are ejected by mowers onto the path or when wet clippings are carried onto the path on the wheels of mowers/tractors.  In most situations grass tends to blow back off the path as it dries, however when grass is particularly long or wet it can stick to the hard surface and remain in situ.  In situations where this is problematic the grass is removed either by sweeping or by a blower machine.
