QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor D. McManus

To ask the Chief Executive to inspect and clear back an overgrown green area in the corner of open green space opposite (Address Provided) Templeogue?

REPLY:

The vegetation in the open area at the location in question here lies along the banks of the River Poddle, this is a vital ecological corridor within the Green Infrastructure network in the county. In line with the Council's Green Infrastructure Strategy and Biodiversity Plan areas of vegetation such as this one which lie along rivers and streams are promoted to aid connectivity, the Public Realm Section therefore has no plans to cut back vegetation at this location for this reason.
