Submitted by:
Councillor F. Timmons
Responsibility:
Ralph McGarry

That this Area Committee calls on SDCC to support the Lá Féile Bríde festival committee in its efforts to bring it's hugely successful festival to an even higher plane in 2026. It hopes to put on a festival of light on the eve of Saint Brigid's day such as that seen at this year's Púca festival which was strongly funded by Meath County Council. Such a spectacle would cost at least €20,000 but it is most appropriate that SDCC would support this venture considering the strong links to Brigid in the County, with wells at Clondalkin and Rathcoole and a history of the celebration of the coming of the light at Imbolg now firmly established. Brigid, our national saint and goddess, should be celebrated in our county in a manner comparable to the way she is celebrated in Kildare and Louth. We also ask that this motion is brought to the full Council.
