Leitrim Councillors Demand Penalties for Forestry Companies
Leitrim councillors are calling for penalties to be imposed on forestry companies that leave trees hanging over public roads.
Cllr Paddy O'Rourke stated that on one occasion, it "took them 18 months to come back and cut the outer fringe and only that they did, they would definitely have fallen on houses last January."
Cllr Roisin Kenny suggested that penalties should be introduced for trees that need to be removed, citing an area where
"every couple of weeks, the road was blocked and sometimes locals went out with chainsaws and cut up the trees but on other occasions, the council had to send out a crew; that has happened on that road at least five times since the storm."
- Councillors propose that if the council has to intervene more than twice in one section of forestry, the company should be charged.
- This issue affects the local budget, prioritizing forestry companies over local road maintenance.
