    Following the heavy rains, a number of estates in the town suffered from sewerage leaking into back gardens, causing smells and possible danger to public health. Irish Water and Meath County Council have informed me they share no responsibility for sewerage leakages on private property. Traditionally Meath County Council maintained the systems. Due to public health concerns, I am calling on Meath County Council to convene a meeting of Irish Water, the public health section of the HSE and local residents to investigate possible solutions to this public health and structural issue.

    In recent times, the felling of trees in estates has been a source of conflict between local residents and Meath County Council. Residents in the affected estates have maintained their estates to the highest standard (some winning Pride of Place prizes) and view the felling of the trees as a form of vandalism by Meath County Council and damaging to their environment. I call on Meath County Council to provide a full report to Navan Municipal District on why estates recently taken in charge are subjected to tree felling, the regulations in which County is operating under and what plans Meath County Council may have to replace felled trees.
