MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

This council requests that the Dublin Flag should be flown from the Civic offices in Tallaght and Clondalkin during the Championship season and that the council would make an effort to ensure that it is clear to all that we, as a council,  are proud of the Dublin football and hurling teams  and their achievements;  that flag standards like those on parts of the Tallaght by pass and N81 would be installed on main approach roads to the county, particularly at county boundaries so that it might be easier to fly the Dublin colours at appropriate times with appropriately worded signage  so  that it would be clear that the Dubs are cherished every bit  as much in our county as the Tipperary team is in the Home Of Hurling. 

REPORT:

An assessment is currently being carried out regarding the costs of extending the display of flags to other roads in the county in advance of next year's sporting season.  Once these costs have been ascertained, and subject to funding being available, it is proposed to bring a report to the Area Committees in the early New Year on the extent of flags/pageantry that can be provided.

For traffic safety reasons it will not be possible to locate flags/pagentry on National Primary Roads such as the N4 and the N7.
