MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

MOTION NO.  11

MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

"This Area Committee calls for an update on the agreed installation of reflection/memorial benches, and agrees that the Committee be consulted on final wording of any dedications or inscriptions, as well as locations."

REPORT: 

The agreed proposal to provide reflection/mobility benches is intended for the following purposes:

1. In recognition of the challenges of the COVID pandemic.
2. To support older people and people with limited mobility to frequent our villages and take an active part in society.

A number of benches are to be provided in the Clondalkin EA to address each of the above objectives. Locations are currently being assessed to determine suitability. Once this has been narrowed down, a proposal will be presented to the Clondalkin Elected Members which will include an inscription for discussion. Should any elected member have a specific location in mind such suggestions can be forwarded for consideration.
