Proposal description

Planning permission for a commissioned/non-commercial cultural mural located on the exterior south and west facing walls at Scoil Lorcáin. The artwork is designed by Adam Warren, an experienced visual artist whose portfolio includes several murals within DLR, in conjunction with the students of Scoil Lorcáin. The mural is conceived as a community-enhancing cultural piece celebrating Irish culture and to mark Scoil Lorcáin’s place within the community for 75 years.The walls where the mural will be located are white render. The proposed artwork will be a colourful addition, picking up on the colours of the existing external window surrounds. The location of the mural is over 14m from the boundary which has a dense griselinia hedge (>5m) separating the grounds of Scoil Lorcáin from the rear of the properties on the adjacent Alma Road, the boundary of the Monkstown ACA. The piece contains no commercial branding, signage, structural alterations, cladding, or illuminated lighting. Tá Bord Bainistíochta Scoil Lorcáin ag lorg cead pleanála le haghaidh forbartha ag Scoil Lorcáin, Cearnóg Eaton, Co. Átha Cliath, A94 F596. Is é atá i gceist san fhorbairt ná: Múrphictiúr cultúrtha coimisiúnaithe/neamhthráchtála suite ar na ballaí seachtracha ag féachaint ó dheas agus siar ag Scoil Lorcáin. Tá an saothar ealaíne deartha ag Adam Warren, ealaíontoir amhairc, i gcomhar le daltaí Scoil Lorcáin a bhfuil roinnt múrphictictiúr laistigh de DLR mar chuid dá phortfóilió. Smaoinítear ar an mórphictiúr mar shaothar cultúrtha a chuireann an pobal chun cinn ag ceiliúradh chultúr na hÉireann agus chun áit Scoil Lorcáin sa phobal thar 75 bliain a mharcáil. Is de rindreáil bhán iad na ballaí ar a mbeidh an múral suite agus é beartaithe ina bhreis dathúil, ag comhlánú dathanna thimpeallachtaí seachtracha na bhfuinneog atá ann cheana. Tá suíomh an mhórphictiúir níos mó ná 14m ón teorainn, ar a bhfuil fál dlúth ghriselinia (>5m) a scarann tailte Scoil Lorcáin ó chúl na n-áitreabh ar Bhóthar Alma tadhlach, arb é teorainn LCA Bhaile na Manach é. Níl san ealaín brandáil, athruithe sctruchtúracha, cumhdach ná soilsiú lásrach.
