MOTION NO. 191
MOTION: Councillor B. Lawlor, Councillor David McManus, Councillor Baby Pereppadan
• To change listing 246 of the Record of Protected Structures to read Firhouse Weir
REPORT:
The full description of this protected structure in the Record of Protected Structures (RPS) is as follows:
RPS Ref: 246
Address/Location: City Watercourse, Firhouse
Description: Millrace, Weir and Sluice (RM)
The RPS and its description relates to a group of structures all associated with the pre-1700 city watercourse which is also listed as a record monument (RM). The address/location refers to Firhouse and the description includes the Millrace, Weir and Sluice gates at Firhouse Weir, also known as Balrothery Weir. It was requested under the review of the previous CDP that Firhouse be changed to Balrothery, however, the location description was correctly left as Firhouse, reflecting its historic name. The original description and location should therefore be left unchanged.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the motion is not adopted.
