MOTION: Councillor K. Egan

"That this committee support the painting of a mural at Neilstown Boxing Club to recognise the achievements of three boxers who qualified for this years European Championships and asks for funding if it becomes available."

REPORT:

The Community Services Department and Sports Office are fully supportive and wish to acknowledge the fantastic achievements of the 3 local boxers in their qualification for the European Championships and congratulate them.

The Boxing Club should be advised however that contact should be made with the Planning Department to seek advice and approval for any proposed mural and also the Arts Officer. It is also prudent to ask if wise to undergo such a project when no doubt other boxers in the future will also attain similar if not greater achievements and is same type project can be accomodated?

No funding is currently available for the painting of murals in the Community Grants Programme.
