MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole
Cathaoirleach's Business
"Following the successful campaign of the “Save the Silver Bridge” a comprehensive discussion followed the presentation ceremony. The discussions included the Members telling many stories of their experiences with the Silver Bridge. It was identified that these stories have significant historical facts attached and it would be interesting to explore how these stories could be preserved, therefore this Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine a joint venture between the Library Historian Department and the residents similar to the historical recording sessions conducted for the Round Towers Clondalkin."
REPORT:
"Libraries Department will look into the possibility of organising an historical story recording session about The Silver Bridge, the bridge over the Liffey, built by the Guinness Family, connecting Palmerstown with the Farmleigh Estate.
Some information on this bridge can be found in Local History section in The County Library and also at the following link:
