SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 13, 2017

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

"The stone at the entrance to Whitechurch Estate gives the placename for the Estate in English and also as Gaeilge. According to the South Dublin County Council Placenames and Streetnames Document the correct placename for Whitechurch Estate as Gaeilge should be Eastát an Teampaill Ghil - the stone at the entrance to the Estate has the translation as Eastát an tSeipeal Bhán. 

Would the Council please consider amending the engraving on the stonework to reflect the correct translation."

REPORT:

"The namestone at Whitechurch Estate will be examined to determine the extent of works required to amend the Irish spelling of the placename.  Contact has been made with the Council's Housing Dept to establish ownership and responsibility for the namestone and any changes that are necessary to it."
