QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Manager make a report on trees in the gardens of Tenants in the Tallaght area of sdcc some residents are reporting that the trees in rear of gardens have gone so big they can not maintain them. Can the Council help with this?"

REPLY:

Tenants are responsible for maintaining gardens, including trees, as outlined in their tenancy agreement. However, any tree maintenance must comply with wildlife protection laws to avoid harming nesting birds and wildlife.

If a tree poses a risk to safety or property then it should be logged through the tenants Housing Online account to arrange for an inspection.
