MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 25, 2025

QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sheehy

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the 2023-2025 Tree Maintenance Programme for Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin, detailing those estates that have been completed, those estates that have been delayed and the expected completion dates for each of the estates.

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 56 locations included on the programme with 35 of those completed to date.

Three additional locations were added during the programme.  Tandy’s Lane Park was added to address Ash Die Back disease. Esker Park (rear of houses) was added due to complaints regarding overhanging trees and Finnstown Abbey estate was added for tree removals in April 2024.

Scheduled dates are dependent on the extent of unscheduled off programme works such as emergency works, works arising from storm damage and individual works.
