MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 18, 2022

QUESTION NO.13

QUESTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

To ask the Chief Executive if he will update the Area Committee on the status of the Covid-19 memorial/reflection benches previously agreed by this ACM and the County Council?

REPLY:

Further to Motion 11 as discussed at the Clondalkin ACM in January 2022, elected members were invited to forward suggestions for bench locations for consideration. No suggestions have been received to date. The biggest challenge to locating the Covid-19 memorial/reflection benches is the lack of public open space within the villages. Two possible locations have been identified in Clondalkin Village which are currently being examined to determine suitability. They are:

  1. Floraville Avenue open space opposite Clondalkin Library
  2. Castle Crescent Shops – grass verge beside bus stop on Monastery Road

To progress this initiative, it is proposed to bring a headed item to the June ACM for discussion.
