MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, November 18, 2020

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on agreed Motion 61326 on Dick Humphrey that involved displays in Clondalkin Library on James Michael Christopher Fitzmaurice.  What progress has been made on this motion?"

REPLY:

“Motion 61326 refers to the possibility of an exhibition on James Michael Christopher Fitzmaurice to be undertaken by South Dublin Libraries during 2020. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to carry out this work. We will look at mounting an exhibition on James Fitzmaurice and the Flight of the Bremen in Q1 or Q2 of 2021, if Government restrictions allow it.

We do not have sufficient information on Richard Humphreys, who was a boarder in St. Enda’s, lived in Clondalkin for a time and is buried in Saggart Graveyard to mount an exhibition on him. Information on him is available on the following link:
