MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

That this area committee agrees that the council erect a sign with a brief history on Irishtown Castle that is situated in the grounds of Old Tower in Quarryvale. This modest castle was constructed in 1601 by Alderman Patrick Browne. During the rebellion in 1642 the castle then defended by a garrison of 10 men found themselves conscripted into the confederate army and was lay siege to by English forces.

REPORT:

The Chief Executive acknowledges the content of the motion. LUPT and the EWCC Departments will liaise and investigate the feasibility of providing signage at this location.
