MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 136

MOTION: Councillor T. Costello

A project to map and capture the stories of the lost Tallaght townslands, farms, large houses needs to be established and supported to capture these stories and document them. Good work was done by the library doing something similar before. A focus on the farms, the field names, the old buildings etc would help deepen the awareness of Tallaght and pride of place among those residents here for the first or second generation

REPORT:

To conduct a project to capture the stories of the lost Tallaght townlands, farms and large houses, document the findings and produce an associated map is beyond the strategic land use function of the County Development Plan.

However, it is a project which would be appropriate for the County Heritage Plan which is due to be reviewed later this year. It is considered that the proposed motion is not appropriate as an objective for the County Development Plan and would be better considered as part of the review of the South Dublin County Heritage Plan.  

Objective NCBH 16 Objective 4 is ‘To support the preparation and implementation of an updated County Heritage Plan incorporating the promotion and protection of the County’s Cultural Heritage.’

It is considered that the motion is reflected sufficiently, insofar as it can be dealt with in the Development Plan, by Objective NCBH 16 Objective 4

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to reflect that the intent of the motion is reflected in Objective NCBH 16 Objective 4:

Objective NCBH 16 Objective 4 is ‘To support the preparation and implementation of an updated County Heritage Plan incorporating the promotion and protection of the County’s Cultural Heritage.’
