Cllr Brett says thery should be displayed in an "appropriate location in Naas."
John Devoy was born in Greenhills, between Johnstown and Kill in 1842 and he was Fenian organiser in Naas, having served with the French Foreign Legion in Algeria.
He was jailed for treason for a time and went to the US in 1871.
He was described as the greatest of the Fenians by Padraig Pearse and is also remembered by a monument - erected in the mid-1960s and now situated on the link road between Johnstown and Kill. He died in 1928 at the age of 86 and was buried in Glasnevin.
