SPONSOR A BENCH IN ST. CATHERINES PARK

The LEADER project includes the installation of 21 benches at the playground and various scenic locations throughout the park. You can sponsor a picnic bench or a seat with a personalized message, which will be installed in summer 2013.

WHAT BENCHES ARE AVAILABLE

There are three different types of benches available. Ten picnic seats made of recycled plastic will be installed near the new playground. Six steel/timber ornamental seats are to be installed along the pedestrian pathway and the dog run in the northern section of the park to avail of the views of the Dublin Mountains. Five timber seats will be installed along the woodland walk and near the church ruin to avail of the views over the River Liffey and the woodlands.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST

The benches and seats come at different prices, reflecting the different price for the fabrication of the type of seat. The price for each bench is indicated underneath the above pictures. These costs cover the purchase and the installation of one seat, and a replacement seat if it is vandalized in the first four years.

PLAQUE

A small stainless steel plaque with a personalized message can be fixed to the bench or seat (see example below). These standardized tags can be supplied as part of the installation arrangements. Please note that the maximum number of characters with spaces between the words is 120 characters. The plaque is included in the overall costs of the bench.

Conditions

  • Wherever possible the wishes of the sponsor will be considered but in every case the final location of the seat will be determined by Fingal County Council.
  • In order to be satisfied about the quality of the seats and benches and the way they are installed, the seats will be ordered as part of the LEADER project and installed by a competent landscape contractor.
  • Any seat that is vandalized beyond usability in the four years after the initial installation will be replaced at the County Council’s expense.
  • Charges for the seats and benches reflect all direct costs and include a provision for the continuing management of the bench.
  • The dedication of a memorial seat or bench will not give the sponsor a right to determine or influence the future management in any way.
