MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, December 15, 2021

QUESTION NO.  2

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive would there be a funding grant for a sculpture or art installation at St Brigid's Well in Clondalkin? If so could details be supplied for the La Fhéile Bríde / Brigid's Day Festival Clondalkin Committee?"

REPLY: SDCC recommends the group make contact with the Arts Officer regarding any plans for public art and/or sculpture plans for the Clondalkin area. The group may also need to consider if planning is required for a particular location. Should direct funding for public sculpture not be available, the project may form part of a a festival proposal and can be submitted for consideration via Events grants process during 2022. However, we would recommend that all planning and consultative considerations should be resolved before any funding application is made.
