This Policy sets out the process by which Limerick City and County Council will consider the commemoration of events or individuals who have shaped the city or county, either by the naming of infrastructure or by the installation of monuments, memorials and plaques in the public domain.
Limerick City and County Council recognises that public commemoration and memorials offer opportunities to honour, celebrate, or remember a person, group of persons or events of significance. They provide an opportunity to highlight important social, cultural and economic contributions to society, to celebrate the uniqueness of the city and county of Limerick and to create a ‘sense of place’ which is identified as being of great importance to citizens and visitors. However, the proliferation of monuments in an area can detract from existing monuments.
