MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Committee supports the naming of the Blue Bridge over the N7 as ''The Joe Williams Bridge'' - 'Droichead Joe Williams' after the much loved and respected Historian now sadly deceased and support this at the Infrastructure Naming committee.

REPORT:

A proposal was recently submitted through the Mayor's office to name the Blue Bridge over N7 as "The Joe Williams Bridge".

In line with the provisions of Section 7 of the Naming of Infrastructure Policy, this proposal was validated by the relevant Director of Services (LUPT) before referral to the All-Party Infrastructure Naming Committee (NIC), chaired by the Mayor.

The proposal was then initially considered by the NIC at a meeting held on 21st October 2021, however as the full assessment criteria had not been met, a decision on the proposal was deferred to the next meeting, scheduled for early December 2021.
