QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive to give a report on Repairs to headstones; gate and tablet at Mount St. Joseph Cemetery, and to ask what SDCC will do on the area prior to the event on 19th June?

REPLY:

This matter was raised under motion 5 on the agenda of the April 2022 area committee meeting, the report which was given in response to that motion is copied below.

“The repair of the inner gate lock will be carried out as part of the operational maintenance works of the Public Realm Section as soon as it can be included in the works programme for the area. The headstone repairs are specialised works which require the use of a contractor who has the necessary expertise in these matters. This work will be progressed during the year in consultation with the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer. An assessment of the Carmelite tablet will be carried out to determine the works required and the most appropriate way to progress this matter.”

The repair of the inner gate lock will be progressed within the next month. There is no update on the headstone repairs or Carmelite tablet since the last report in April 2022.
