QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"To ask the Chief Executive if it might be possible for the Round Tower GAA Club to organise the painting of a series of murals depicting Club and village history on the Old Water Tower at Monastery Road in conjunction with the Council."  

REPLY:

The Old Water Tower at Monastery Road has been out of use for over 10 years and there is no plan for it to be used for water services again.  It is intended to remove the Tower in the future which will require planning and specialist demolition.  In the meantime, the Council is open to examining the mural proposal. The overall condition of the structure and any planning requirements would have to be examined in the first instance and then a brief would need to be submitted for consideration which would include information on the content of the mural, detail on how the work would be carried out, health and safety plan, and insurances to cover such works.
