Public Notice: Path Closures at Herbert Park – River Dodder Rehabilitation Works
Published on 8th August 2025
Please be advised that the lower path along the River Dodder at Herbert Park will be closed to the general public while rehabilitation works are underway.
The Dodder Anglers Association has commissioned a habitat rehabilitation project aimed at improving the ecological conditions and salmonid recruitment in this section of the River Dodder. These works will bring the channel quality in Herbert Park up to the same high standard as previously rehabilitated upstream and downstream sections.
This initiative has been sanctioned by Inland Fisheries Ireland, following the submission of all necessary documentation and a series of consultations. On-site consultations have taken place with Inland Fisheries, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and Lorraine Bull, former Biodiversity Officer at Dublin City Council.
The works will be carried out by Rivus Ltd, specialists in river rehabilitation projects. Rivus Ltd previously delivered high-quality instream works on the Dodder in collaboration with Dublin City Council and the Office of Public Works.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this important environmental enhancement project.
