COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 16, 2018

QUESTION NO.  1

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an updated report on the overall planned strategy for place-naming and place-finding, this  protocol is developed to oversee the approval and standardisation of features such as commemorative plagues and heritage information signage?"

REPLY:

The Economic Enterprise and Tourism Development Directorate are currently working with Fáilte Ireland and the other Dublin Authorities on a tourist orientation project, including signage. It is expected that the consultants will complete their report shortly and this will provide guidance on the implementation of the Village Signage Programme throughout the County.

A Policy on Infrastructure Naming, Memorials and Plaques was adopted by the Council last year and sets out the policy and process with regard to requests for commemorative plaques and memorials. Requests can be sent to the Mayors office in the first instance.
