SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, February 21, 2018
MOTION NO. 15
MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons
"That this committee calls for the Path of ''Brigid’s Pilgrimage way'' to be signposted and a path of tarmac or bark mulch to be laid - (this is the stretch from Knockmenagh Road at Brigid’s Cottages to Monastery Road) and also that the Library section of SDCC put together a display to explain the importance of this ancient path to the Public."
REPORT:
A wayfinding signage strategy is being implemented on a phased basis throughout South Dublin County’s villages. The village wayfinding signage project includes:
- Highly visual signs aimed at directing cyclists and pedestrians;
- Information and direction to the key heritage interest points in area;
- Information on the main services and points of interest within a 5-7 minutes walking radius of each map;
- Main panels will include interactive QR code feature that will link to downloadable audio-guided heritage walks as developed by the Council;
- Map panels at key points in the village and town centre areas and a series of finger post signs in the area;
- As further trails and walks are developed additional maps can be added to panels to encourage people to explore the other amenities in the area.
St. Brigid’s Pilgrimage Way will be considered the second point above as part of the overall signage plan for Clondalkin which will be developed in conjunction with local community, heritage and other groups.
South Dublin Libraries are not in a position at present to arrange an exhibition on St. Brigid’s Pilgrimage Way but will consider displaying information panels subject to the outcome of the wayfinding strategy for Clondalkin.
