MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor C. Brady

This committee calls on the CEO to ensure that the tree pruning works in Vesey Park, confirmed added to the next three-year programme per members' representation 1853246, are prioritised for action in 2026 given the poor condition of the trees and the need to address maintenance and preserve the trees.

REPORT:

The trees in Vesey Park estate will be added to the next three-year programme as per members' representation 1853246.  There is a cherry tree and a group of three sorbus trees growing in close proximity to an overhead power line.  Any pruning works to these trees require an arborist suitably qualified in the skills of utility arboriculture and approved by the ESB.  There are also two dead cherry trees in the estate which require removal.  The removal of the dead trees will be prioritised and every effort will be made to have them removed in the current tree programme.
