MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor T. Ridge

This Committee calls for a report on St. Cuthberts (ruined) Church in view of the link with St. Cuthberts Cathedral at Durham and in view  of the historical visit of St. Cuthbert to this part of Clondalkin many centuries ago.  This site was fenced off to stop trespass some years ago however we should try and have this historical site saved.

REPORT:

Under the Heritage Plan, a condition survey has been undertaken for this site.  This report is currently under consideration.  In conjunction with Public Realm, the Council's Architectural Conservation Officer and the Heritage Officer, a programme of works will be proposed which will address issues of maintenance and heritage promotion of this site.  Any works proposed will be subject to the availability of suitable financial resources and schedule priorities.
