MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor C. Brady

This committee calls upon the Chief Executive to engage with the Society for Old Lucan to conduct a feasibility study into the provision of creating a memorial stone set within a small landscaped or natural setting to offer locals a meaningful and tranquil space for reflection on Lucan’s shared past and heritage, including the most notable, Patrick Sarsfield. The possible inclusion of a bench would facilitate universal accessibility for all age groups.

REPORT:

The Society of Old Lucan will be contacted in relation to this request. 

It should be noted that there is already a Sarsfield Monument located in the tranquil grounds of Lucan House.  It is described as a “Triangular plan limestone monument, c.1790, set on an elevated earthen mound with narrow steps, c.1985. Stepped base, three carved tortoises to corners, Portland stone main section with carved relief roundel to two sides, surmounted by a limestone urn, all executed in a Greek classical idiom.”
