MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy 

To ask for an update on the tree planting programme for Lucan Palmerstown and North Clondalkin. Were all the trees that are outlined in the programme presented to councillors in November 2023 planted? Has the Council set up a mapping of trees and types of trees for the area and if so can councillors access it?

REPLY:

All the trees that were outlined in the programme presented to councillors in November 2023 should have been planted by now.  A final tally is being carried out to ensure that there no locations missed.

The council has mapped the Green Infrastructure of the county. This is currently being finalised, and shows the locations of trees throughout the county, along with other key Green Infrastructure elements.  There is no system currently in place available to Councillors that maps the trees and types of trees for the area.
