MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 10, 2024

MOTION NO.11

MOTION: Councillor C Ahern

That the council cut and maintain the grass verge at Rathfarnham Shopping Centre along Butterfield Avenue. It has been overgrown with nettles and other large weeds for months and is making it very difficult for anyone trying to navigate the already narrow path in that area.

REPORT:

The grass verge in question on Butterfield Avenue in front of the Rathfarnham Shopping Centre was until very recently managed and maintained by the Shopping Centre’s landscape contractor, this arrangement was terminated by the Shopping Centre and no prior notice of this was given to the Council. As requested, the Public Realm Section will take over the cutting and maintenance of this grass going forward and remove any unwanted weeds.
