SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

That planning for a heritage app for Lucan be initiated, and that the Council would take into account that there may be valuable assistance from the community including from the group known as the Society for Old Lucan, and others who have done a lot of work in collecting information etc. about the heritage of Lucan

REPORT:

The Council expects to engage the services of a branding consultant to do a branding plan for Lucan, and that they would deal with Lucan specific signage and orientation.  This work would involve gathering materials and information from relevant stakeholders to how the story of Lucan is best told, including information used in the Lucan heritage walk South Dublin Libraries developed some time ago. It would be premature to plan for the development of a heritage app for the area before this exploratory work is completed, however an app of this nature will, in time, form part of the Destinations Town project.

It is estimated that it would cost in the region of €10,000 for an app and two additional languages over and above English and Irish. This is subject to funding approval.
