I recently asked Dublin City Councils Area Manager if he was aware that a number of trees on Erris Road in Cabra East are significantly overgrown and need to be pruned? I asked the Manager to let me know when Dublin City Council would take action to prune the trees and remove the risk of potential damage? In reply the Manager has advised me that trees on Erris Road are mature Hornbeam and have been listed for pruning in early 2014. Mary

For almost 70 years Ireland has enjoyed strong diplomatic relations with Japan. Ireland opened it’s first embassy in Tokyo in 1974 In 2025 Ireland renewed and strengthened its presence in Japan
