QUESTION NO.  8

QUESTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

"To ask the Chief Executive if a park bench in memory of people we have lost to Covid-19 be installed each in Corkagh Park and Rathcoole Park?"

REPLY:

Requests for memorials such as plaques and other permanent installations are administered by the Naming of Infrastructure committee which is handled by the Mayors Committee.

However, the Environment, Water & Climate Change Department can facilitate tree planting as a memorial. Requests for Memorial Tree Planting is administered by the Public Realm Administration team. If a memorial tree is something that would be appropriate this can be progressed subject to an application being received.

Upon receipt of an application, a member of SDCC Staff will make contact to select an exact location. Once that is done, a cost would be calculated for the planting (approximately €300) and if accepted, the tree planting would be arranged.
