MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTIONS NO. 11

MOTIONS: Councillor W. Carey

That this Area Committee agrees that SDCC should provide an up-light at the base of flag staff at Newlands Cross 1916 commemorative garden for the purpose of flying the national flag for continues periods (such as Easter Week) and other nation events. The committee notes that lighting is currently provided at the base of the stones carrying the inscriptions of the proclamation and feel a similar light would be appropriate.

REPORT:

This garden is in the charge of Public Realm. We have contacted them regarding this and they have agreed to the installation of an up-light at the flagpole.

The provision of this will be progressed in 2026.
