QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor L. de Courcy

To ask the Chief Executive had there been concerns raised about the health/stability of the tree on Monastery Road which fell during the storm prior to the storm?

REPLY:

Prior to Storm Éowyn occurring on the 24th January 2025, the Council were not aware of any concerns over the health or stability of the tree in question.  Storm Éowyn was deemed as a severe weather event which had the capacity to cause damage to trees in any location across the Country.  Unfortunately the tree at Monastery Road was one example of the devastating effects of the storm.
