During the period January to September 2010, expenditure of €10,900 was incurred in relation to the planting and maintenance of the boundary planting scheme at Thornton Hall, Kilsallaghan, County Dublin.

As indicated previously, when granting development consent for the Thornton Hall prison project, the Oireachtas decided to increase the planted zone at certain points along the perimeter of the site in order to mitigate the visual and aural impact of the development. This additional planting will be undertaken at the appropriate time.
