REPLY:

South Dublin County Council has recently inspected the trees in the vicinity of 129 Moyville, including those located to the front and side of the property. On examination, the trees and branches were found to be several metres from the house, and no immediate maintenance works are currently required.

It should be noted that Moyville Estate is included in the Council’s 2026–2028 Tree Maintenance Programme. Prior to any works being undertaken, a comprehensive survey of all trees within the estate will be carried out, including the trees in question, to inform the programme and determine what, if any, maintenance is required.
