Report on renaming Dublin's Herzog Park withdrawn by Council boss ahead of Monday meeting

Therefore, in the circumstances I am proposing to withdraw the report from the Agenda with a recommendation that the matter be referred back to the Commemorations and Naming Committee for consideration of the statutory procedure. On behalf of the Executive of the City Council, I wish to apologise for this administrative oversight. A detailed review of the administrative mis-steps will now be undertaken and a report furnished to the Lord Mayor and Councillors.
