MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

"This Area Committee, in recognition of the many years of Voluntary service in the Community and on SPCs, calls for the pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Dodder that links Bawnville and Kilininny to be named the Jim Lawlor Bridge. This motion is presented with the full support of Jim's family and local community activists. If this motion is accepted by the TAC members, can it be forwarded to the Mayor, for him to bring it to the attention of the Infrastructure Naming Committee, without delay."

REPORT:

As previously outlined in response to Motion 8 of the agenda for the September 2020 Tallaght ACM :

A motion was passed in June 2020 (Motion 1 Tallaght ACM) proposal to name the sports pavilion in Dodder Valley Park after the late Jim Lawlor, and in line with the Naming of Infrastructure Policy, normally an individual or event can only be commemorated with one plaque or memorial.

In accordance with Standing Orders No 16 & 17 any matter decided by resolution cannot be revoked / reopenedwithin six months.

As more than 6 months has elapsed the initial motion should be rescinded in order to give priority to the sentiments of this motion so that if passed, this motion can be validated by the Director of Service, before referral to the Naming Infrastructure Committee.
