There are calls to address the spread of Japanese knotweed across the city.
Sinn Fein city councillor Cathal O Conchuir told this month’s meeting at City Hall that the invasive weed is a threat to the local ecosystem.
He says it has been sighted across the city and along Threadneedle Road.
Independent city councillor Terry O’Flaherty said the weed is also dangerous to buildings and can go under foundations.
City officials advised that problems have been experienced with the weed in the past at the Millenium Children’s Park and the issue can be dealt with.
Councillor O Conchuir says it can take three years to eliminate it.
