MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 10, 2026

MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

This Committee requests that the Council consider providing new kerbs and the planting of new trees to prevent cars parking and in some cases driving on the green at Muckross Grove, Perrystown. Unfortunately this has become an increasing problem with trees and kerbs damaged.

REPORT:

The Council will progress additional tree planting along the perimeter of the green at Muckross Grove, Perrystown as part of the 2026 Winter Tree Planting Programme for the Rathfarnham Local Electoral Area. Planting will be focused on locations where it can most effectively discourage vehicle access, and will be subject to underground utility screening to avoid conflicts with existing services. This approach will help to deter inappropriate parking and driving on the green, while also improving its amenity and biodiversity value.

The request regarding kerbing will be forwarded to the Roads Department for consideration and review.
