Tender description

The War Memorial is to be situated on a raised circular landscaped bed, close to the neighbouring Garda Station, between the Carrick and Ardee Roads in Dundalk. It is currently the location of a small green, owned and maintained by Louth County Council. The monument will be of a granite stone, polished on all elevations. The overall height of the monument will be 3000 mm, and will include a granite plinth for resting memorial wreaths. The width should be a minimum of 1200 mm and a thickness of at least 500 mm (or whatever is required to provide stability). Access to the monument will be via a ramp cut out of the existing landscape
