COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, November 17, 2021

MOTION NO.  8

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Committee request that signage is put on the entrance to Brigid's Pilgrimage Path on Monastery Road before the annual Brigid's Day Pilgrimage walk on 1/2/20222 and this is done in consultation with the La Fhéile Bríde / Brigid's Day Festival Clondalkin Committee."

REPORT:

This matter has been the subject of consideration and deliberation in recent years, and a most recent investigation has reconfirmed that the laneway from Monastery Road to St. Bridig's Cottages is privately owned and has not been taken in charge by the Council.

While the sentiment of the motion is plausible, it is not appropriate for the Council to erect signage which directs the public towards or to enter onto private land.  This can only be done at the express request of the owner, appropriately via a Wayfinding Sign application. 

Should a Wayfinding Sign application be received from the landowner it would be favourably considered and it is suggested that the Festival Committee consult with the land owner in this matter.
