MOTION NO.14

MOTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"That the Manager agrees to the provision of a namestone identifying the Parish of Ballyroan and that such a namestone be located at or near the junction of Ballyroan Road, turning on to Marian Road.   (This project has already been costed at €600).  The parish is inadequately identified as evidenced by the recent death of the late Jim Stynes who hails from the Ballyroan Parish with media reports of the media not being able to locate the parish and reference across the media to the mass having taken place in Knocklyon instead of Ballyroan.  Finally, to obtain a likely time within which this project could be done."

REPORT:

There are two areas where a namestone might be appropriately situated to indicate the Ballyroan area to the general public, one off Butterfield Avenue and the other off Ballyroan Road.  Contact will be made with the Residents Association in the area to progress the matter.
