The Office of Public Works have applied to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for a licence to remove trees in order to reduce flood risk at Clonlara. A tree survey requested by the Department on foot of the application has now been completed and a report will be prepared this week. The OPW already applied for consent from the National Parks and Wildlife Service which is also required in order to proceed with the works.
