MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 22, 2021

MOTION NO.(1)

MOTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"This Council requests that the schedule of events for the new Tymon Library include the Patrick O' Connell Memorial Exhibition. The exhibition, established by local man Fergus Dowd from Glenview Park Tallaght, has received international attention and is a riveting history of the space where sport and politics meet. The Libraries Dept. might also consider it a suitable presentation for online events where Covid restrictions may limit physical accessibility to our libraries." 

REPORT:

"The Patrick O'Connell Memorial Exhibition was displayed in our libraries, at the County Library, Tallaght, Ballyroan Library and Lucan Library during 2019, and it was received well by the public. We can look at dispalying it in the new Castletymon Library when it is open to the public. The exhibition is quite large, so perhaps in advance we can agree with the owner on the size and content for display. If we can agree on digital display with the owner this could be explored further."
