It is suggested that it commemorate the "victims of covid, famine, wars, road accidents, suicide and still births".

A County Memorial Park is proposed for Kildare.

The idea has been suggested by Independent Cllr., Seamie Moore.

He says, "in light of the Government's deferment on a decision to agree any national or county based monument to covid victims and in light of the upcoming 175 year anniversary of the 1847 Famine, that Kildare County Council seek the input by way of a public competition, into a proposal to design a multi-faced column monument to be  located in the poorly enhanced Famine Graveyard in Naas.

He says this should  commemorate "victims of covid, famine, wars, road accidents, suicide and still births", and the area should be re-named as a Memorial Park.

His motion will be debated at the October meeting of the Naas Municipal District
