MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this committee calls for the Path of ''Brigid’s Pilgrimage Way'' to be signposted and a suitable path be laid that keeps it as authentic as possible - (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.  We also ask for a report into the land ownership at this site? We also congratulate the organisers of the successful St. Brigid's Pilgrimage Walk that took place on 1st February." 

REPORT:

"A land registry search has confirmed that the laneway from Monastery Road to St. Brigid's Cottages is privately owned and has not been taken in charge by the Council. It is therefore not appropriate for the Council to erect a signpost directing the public to enter onto private land.

Further details would need to be provided to the Library Service to identify the Path of Brigid's Pilgrimage Way before a display could be mounted. We do have some information on St. Brigid's Well in Clondalkin."
