MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Committee holds a minutes silence for the 25th Anniversary of Veronica Guerin who is 25 years deceased on 26th June. Veronica Guerin paid the ultimate price for exposing criminal activities as a respected journalist. We applaud her courage and bravery and extend our thoughts to her family. We ask that the Naming Committee looks at how this can be marked. We also ask that South Dublin County Council have the area around the memorial clean and respectful for the 26th June for those who may wish to show their respect."

REPORT:

If this Motion is passed by the Members, the message will be conveyed to the Guerin family. The EWCC Department will follow up with the clean up of the area around the memorial in advance of the anniversary and the proposal will be brought to the Infrastructure Naming Committee for consideration.
