Trees and the Law

Trees and hedges are one of the most common causes of neighbour disputes. A tree that is one person’s pride and joy can sometimes be a source of worry and frustration to their neighbours. The rights and responsibilities of tree ownership are complex.  

For more information about pruning overhanging branches, encroaching roots, high hedges, and trees that block light, go to the Tree Advice page of the Tree Council of Ireland website.

Will your Child get a place in a local Primary School?

Increasing local demand for primary school places in Terenure and the surrounding area is already forcing some parents to look further afield for schooling for their children, particularly if you're looking for a non-religious ethos school.  And the situation is getting worse each year.  In years past for example, St. Joseph's Boys National School used to have several places available for local non-Catholic boys and those living outside of the parish, for September 2015 they will struggle to accommodate all Catholic 4/5 year old boys living in the parish who have applied to enter Junior Infants.

A group of local parents are campaigning to remedy this situation and are lobbying for an Educate Together National School in the Terenure/Dublin 6 area.  They have secured a meeting with the Minister of Education later this month and are keen to get in touch with parents of young children who will be looking to start school in the next few years, and others concerned about the situation.

If this is you, please visit www.educatetogether.ie/dublin-6  and register your interest.
