No local authority has been assigned responsibility for organising planting schemes on road developments throughout the country. However, Dublin County Council is providing a specialist advisory service to a number of local authorities, on request, in relation to landscaping of road developments in their areas. I understand that the relevant official of Dublin County Council is in correspondence with the group concerned about arrangements for a meeting.
