COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 24, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive when the strip of land between Mount Andrew and St Edmunds will be taken in charge to facilitate the completion of the paved walkway between both estates.

REPLY:

The strip of ground between St. Andrews and St. Edmunds has a large number of mature trees on it.  SDCC cannot take this in charge until the issue of who pays for the tree removal or significant pruning is decided. 

These trees have been flagged as a safety concern by several residents.  The cost of the tree removal / significant pruning will be expensive. SDCC are continuing to discuss this at a high level to see if a solution can be found. I will give an update to the members on these discussions once they are complete.  Once the land is Taken in Charge, the short footpath link can be completed.
