MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor P. Holohan

"Calling on SDCC to plant a tree in Jobstown park in Tallaght in memory or a young man Adam Muldoon who lost his life there?"

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council will allow memorial trees within its parks (areas under the control and/or maintenance of the Council) subject to the availability of suitable locations. A suitable location within the park will have to be identified. The location of the tree shall be at the discretion of South Dublin County Council.  The Council will be responsible for the selection of tree species, planting and maintenance works required. In the case of a tree, a plaque/memorial plate will be permitted.  A fee of €300 will be charged as a contribution to the cost of associated works including administration.  In the event of vandalism or failure of a tree (within 18 months of planting), the Council will arrange on a one-off basis for a replacement.  The Council reserves the right to remove or relocate a tree at any time should it be considered necessary. It is important that agreement is sought from Mr Muldoons family for this proposal.

Requests should be sent in writing to Environment, Water and Climate Change Dept, Administrative Officer, Public Realm Administration section.
