MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 16, 2025

MOTION NO.12

MOTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To call on the Chief Executive to meet with Jonathan Cully of Society for Old Lucan (SOL) in order to begin project plans for a suitable garden space and /or memorial in Lucan Demesne, dedicated to the memory of all 71 Lucanian's currently known to have lost their lives due to conflict, no matter what conflict or era, political or religious persuasion.

REPORT:

The development and delivery of the Masterplan must follow the formal procurement and statutory process. This process is currently underway, and it is anticipated that a suitably qualified architect-led design team will be appointment in early Q1 of 2026 after which the preparation of detailed design work can properly begin for the Part 8 planning process. Given these required steps, a meeting at this time would be premature, as the design team has not yet been procured and no detailed design work has commenced. However, the Executive will endeavour to meet with Mr. Jonathan Cully at an appropriate point following the procurement of the architect-led design team when the design process is underway and there is a clear framework within which such a space could be explored.
