MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"That this Area Committee establishes a working group to explore the viability of hosting a "Christmas Festival/Fair" in Lucan village and makes contact with potential interested parties such as but not excluded to the Lucan Festival committee, Lucan Village Network, Italian Ambassador local traders."

REPORT:

"Christmas Festivals like all the local Community Festivals in the County are run and organised by a local voluntary organising committee.  These festivals have a lead in time to allow for planning, organisation, participation, volunteering etc. 

The Community Services Department  and the local Community Development Teams have a role of providing advice and support to these local voluntary committees as requested and this may also lead to providing some funding supports.   If there are  parties interested in running a Christmas Festival/Fair, the Community Development Team will explore the issues and opportunities with them in the new year."
