MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.13

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

This Committee requests the Manager to arrange for the installation of an external sign for Lucan House. A sign was historically in place during its use as an embassy, and reinstating appropriate signage would restore a sense of pride, reflect the heritage of the building, and enhance its presence as an important landmark in our village and county

REPORT:

The delivery of the Lucan Demesne Masterplan is already underway, and the next key step is the appointment of an architect-led design team. Once appointed, this team will be tasked with developing a coordinated approach to interpretation, signage, and wayfinding across the entire Demesne, working in collaboration with a specialised interpretation consultant. Given this process, installing signage at this stage would be premature. Any new signage or interpretative elements within the Demesne, including at Lucan House, should be developed as part of a cohesive, integrated design and branding strategy that ensures consistency, enhances the visitor experience, and contributes to a distinct and unified sense of place. A such, appropriate signage for Lucan House can be fully considered within this Masterplan-led design process once the architect team is in place.
