MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 10, 2023

MOTION NO.10

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That the Council examines and takes water samples from the pond at Rathfarnham Castle Park, as there are concerns that there may be a blockage which could adversely affect the water quality in the pond with a resulting knock-on effect on the wildlife in and around the pond.

REPORT:

Thank you for raising this issue with us. Following on from this, the Council collected a water quality sample from Rathfarnham lake on Friday 29th September. The analysing laboratory will have results available within three weeks and these will be provided to Councillor Collins along with an interpretation of those results against prevailing standards. The results will be assessed to determine what action, if any, is required.
