MOTION NO.15

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Area Committee calls on Libraries to work with Survivors Terri Harrison and Francis Timmons to help facilitate a talk and display, related to Survivors of Church and State abuse that would start in Clondalkin Library, and tour around other libraries in order to facilitate the truth telling of lived experiences and allow their own voices to be heard.

REPORT:

If this motion is passed, libraries will consider, in collaboration with Cllr Timmons, the appropriate format to facilitate the sharing of these stories, and when it may be integrated in our events programme.
