COMHAIRLE CONTAE FHINE GALL
FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL
BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING
[Services A – Operational Matters]
Thursday, 11th February 2016
ITEM NO. 26

Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide for display lighting to enhance the Portico
in Kenure Rush as a feature in the area?”
Reply:
Fingal County Council can examine the possibility of using illuminating lighting
within or around the Portico in Rush. As this is a protected structure a number of
issues must be considered and approved by the Council’s Conservation Officer.
It might be an appropriate time to engage with the local community and adjacent
national school with a view to preparing a landscape master plan for this open
space. The aim of any proposed master plan would be to anchor the Portico as a
feature within the entire open space by integrating it into a planned and
meaningful landscaping scheme. There will also be a considerable cost
implication in any such planned works and this can only be scheduled if finances
and resources allow.
