An expert report on the weed growth at the lakes in Naas will be ready within a month.
The issue was raised again at a meeting of the Naas Municipal District by Cllr Anne Breen, who complained about the “unacceptable situation with regard to weeds covering the surface of all the lakes.”
Cllr Anne Breen added that this also happened last year “making it impossible for the waterfowl to use the water as intended.”
She said similar problems had occurred at Lough Neagh because of the low water depth.
Kildare County Council parks superintendent Simon Wallace said an ecologist is due to visit the site in the shortly to assess the site and the conclusions of this will be communicated to the councillors.
