Dublin City Council recently carried out an inspection and evaluation of the trees on the green space adjacent to Templeogue Road, Rathdown Drive and Rathdown Crescent. Several trees were found to be unsafe, diseased or unhealthy. In the interests of public safety, the Council will remove the following trees:
the lime tree opposite 41-42 Rathdown Drive due to fungal growth at its base,
the ash tree opposite 9 Rathdown Drive,
the sycamore tree opposite 1 Rathdown Drive due to base damage and ring damage and
the sycamore tree at the traffic lights which is in poor condition.
The following trees will be pruned:
the lime tree opposite 45 Rathdown Drive,
the horse chestnut tree near 13 Rathdown Drive,
the oak trees opposite 3-4 and 11 Rathdown Drive,
a sycamore tree at the roundabout,
two oak trees beyond the roundabout at Rathdown Crescent and
four large trees near the roadway within Bushy Park itself.
This work will be carried out within the next few weeks. The Council will plant at least four new trees this coming winter to replace those that will be removed.
