MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Committee requests South Dublin County Council agree that the contemporary film of the parade, supporting the preservation of the Round Tower be displayed permanently in Brú Chrónain/Round Tower Visitors' Centre and that the name of the original filmographer be acknowledged as part of the copy on display."

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council proposes to explore the option of creating a space for temporary /revolving displays which could include the display of items related to the story of Clondalkin not already told in the permanent exhibition. To maintain the standards of display which is evident within the permanent exhibition it may be necessary to formally curate submissions for any series of temporary displays. This is all subject to funding. In the meantime, the County Promotion Unit will explore the possibility of projecting the video onto the flat screen in the café/shop subject to technical capabilities and securing permissions from original filmmaker.
