MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

Cathaoirleachs Business

That this Area Committee calls upon the Chief Executive to consider the renaming of Sean Walsh Park as "Independence Park" to honour and commemorate those citizens of Tallaght and other areas of our County, who participated in the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence 

REPORT:

If the motion is passed it will be forwarded to the Council’s Commemorations Committee for consideration. The Council will shortly launch the public consultation phase of the South Dublin County 2016 Programme.  In addition the committee will consider the national Garden of Remembrance Project. This is a Glór na Casca initiative which aims to ensure an enduring legacy for the centenary celebrations of the 1916 rising. These gardens can be located within existing parks throughout the county.
