Trees from Dublin Park overflowing

Poor_old_gill

Could anyone let me know what the best way is to get trees that overflowing onto your land removed from a Dublin Park- or at least cut back!

Is there a specific department to contact?

Any help greatly appreciated

contact the parks and environment section of the relevant local authority?
or just ring the main switch and they shoul dbe able to log your issue.

You are legally entitled to cut back trees that overhang your property to directly above the boundary line, provided such pruning does not lead the demise of the tree, or cause a negligence issue further down the line.

You also have to return the prunings as the are not your property, or at least proffer them back

But that could be costly to you if there are lots if trees.

Might be worth asking the tree owner when the trees were last assessed by an arborist!

Also, there's the right to light issue.

If the trees degrade the internal light in your property by a certain amount, you can petition on those grounds to have them removed. Even if you only moved in a few months ago and they're your neighbour's prize trees.
Should be a much more straight forward task when dealing with a public body.

I think your best bet is contact the local authority. The good old "parky" is alive and well and will probably sort it out for you.
Do you know the type of tree?
