MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 47
QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the 2023 to 2025 tree pruning programme as implemented so far. The report should include the budget available and what has been spent to date and how many estates have been completed so far.
REPLY:
The table below sets out the detailed list of estates, roads and other locations which have been included on the current 3 year tree programme 2023 to 2025 for planned maintenance. There are a total of 176 locations included on the programme with 86 of those completed to date, maintenance works are currently underway in 2 locations and a further 34 locations have been assigned as per the status shown below which means that the necessary tree surveys have been completed at the location and either a Council crew or tree maintenance contractor has been provided with details of the work required and has been requested to plan and proceed with the work. At the present time 86 of the total 176 locations have been completed and this equates to 49% of the programme completed to date. It is expected that by year end works will be completed at a total of 122 of the 176 locations which will equate to 69% of the programme, progress on the current programme is therefore considered to be on target.
To the end of June a total of 8,499 tree inspections were carried out, the number of trees pruned in the same period was 4,769 and the number of trees removed was 454. The overall budget provided for tree maintenance in 2024 was €4.075m, of this €2.414m has been spent and a further €1.574 has been committed to year end.
