The Deputy should note that tree maintenance at this location is the responsibility of Dublin City Council (DCC).

Significant flood remedial works were carried out by DCC in 2014 on the Camac river at Carrickfoyle Terrace, Millbrook Terrace and at Lady's Lane Kilmainham with funding provided by the Office of Public Works under the Minor Flood Relief Works and Coastal Protection Scheme. This work consisted of the construction of almost 100 metres of new reinforced flood defence walls and the strengthening of existing walls at the rear of properties in the locations mentioned above. This work has provided a high level of protection against flooding to the properties in this area.

More comprehensive flood relief proposals for the Camac River are currently in the early stages of planning, with DCC and OPW working in partnership to ascertain how any works might be progressed.
