MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.14

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this Committee requests the Chief Executive to support the Lucan Festival Committee in the establishment of a Christmas Tree and Lighting Sub-Committee and to advise how best to apply for funding that would allow for an extension of the existing Christmas set-up so that Lucan Main Street can be appropriately lit up for the festive season. Further, that the Chief Executive confirm whether SDCC has engaged with members of the Lucan Festival Committee regarding the provision of electricity connections to facilitate Christmas and other community events.

REPORT:

The Community Development team will continue to engage with the Lucan Festival Committee to provide assistance where appropriate. We enjoy an excellent working relationship with the committee and have provided substantial financial support in recent years. To date, we have not received a request from the committee regarding electricity connections or other community events. However, we would be happy to meet with the committee to assess the feasibility of any proposals they may bring forward.
