Significant progress has been achieved in the delivery of quality reliable water services. Progress in infrastructural development designed to facilitate Sligo’s investment potential has also been achieved. Sligo County Council in collaboration with other local agencies continues to strive for improvements which will enhance the economic conditions of the region. The Council acknowledges the need to engage constructively with the community it serves in order to maximize the impact of limited resources available. Councillor Joe Leonard Cathaoirleach 2 County Manager’s Foreword One of the highlights of 2010 was the visit of Michael Flatley to his native Culfadda, a visit made possible by the close personal friendship between the then Cathaoirleach and the Flatley family. The Culfadda community played an active role in organising the various events, including the official opening of the Garden of Music and Memory, inspired by the unique musical legacy of Culfadda’s most famous son. The garden will be a special meeting place for cultural events and will be a social focal point for the community. In 2010 we continued our major programme of investment in water and waste water infrastructure; Sligo County Council delivers 38 million litres of water a day to homes, schools, businesses, and farms. Over the last ten years or so, Sligo County Council has spent approximately €100 million on the water supply infrastructure, including waste water treatment and infrastructure, in the Sligo & Environs Area. The most recent project to be delivered under this programme is Kilsellagh, which became operational in May 2010, ensuring that all consumers in the Sligo & Environs area are being supplied with water of the highest quality. The delivery of a quality, reliable water supply has been welcomed by local hotels, restaurants and businesses as well as domestic consumes. The Kilsellagh plant cost in the region of €6 million, and the Council is to be commended for planning and delivering this valuable facility at a time when the financial resources were available. Another priority of this authority is the delivery of a modern road network which will underpin our endeavour to attract enterprise and investment to Sligo; In 2010, €1.2m was allocated to the planning and design of our major national roads schemes, and the completion of phase 1 of the Western Distributor Road. This Distributor Road will facilitate the development of a strategic Non-National urban link road on the Western side of Sligo City and will improve access to the existing IDA industrial/ business park at Finisklin. One immediate and significant impact of the economic recession is that Sligo County Council, together with all local authorities, will have to prioritise services based on existing and anticipated resources. This will require changes to many existing practices and procedures and we must be flexible in our approach so that we can get the best out of the limited resources that will be available. Another priority must be to re-double our efforts in working with work with key local agencies on improving economic conditions to create sustainable job opportunities for this region.

  • 3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy
    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy 3.1 Growth model This section expands on the core aims of the Development Plan by setting out a settlement strategy for the urban and rural parts of the County. The settlement strategy draws on the RPGs and Sligo Sub-Regional Development Strategy 2001-2021. That Strategy, prepared in 2001, anticipated Sligo’s designation as a Gateway City prior to the publication of the NSS. Having reconsidered popula- tion forecasts in light of the NSS, the Council is eager to provide a proactive basis for the future development and regeneration of the County, developing Sligo into a city with a critical mass that is necessary to sustain the County and the North-Western Region into the future. This involves aiming towards a long-term, strategic population horizon of between 50,000 and 80,000 people over the next 20 to 30 years (a pace of development similar to that experienced in Galway over the past several decades). Such a population horizon should be a strategic reference point for actions at the day-to-day level, which would ordinarily be driven by providing for popula- tion growth based on past performance. Therefore, the approach taken in this Development Plan, is not a predict and provide one, but rather a plan → monitor → manage approach that ensures that Sligo can reach its Gateway status, with adjustments to land use zoning occurring during the preparation of subsequent local area plans and other land use plans for settlements throughout the County. In adopting a proactive approach to development in line with NSS projections, the Council has de- cided to pursue faster growth than was originally anticipated in the Sub-Regional Development Strat- egy 2001-2021.

    6TH APRIL 2021 SCREENING FOR APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT OF SPECIFIC WORKS ASSOCIATED WITH ‘LOT 1 – NORTH WEST BRIDGES TERM MAINTENANCE CONTRACT NO. 3’ REASONED DETERMINATION Regulation 42(1) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations, 2011 (‘the Habitats Regulations’) states, inter alia, ‘A screening for Appropriate Assessment of a […] project […] which a public authority wishes to undertake […] shall be carried out by the public authority to assess, in view of best scientific knowledge and in view of the conservation objectives of the site, if that […] project, individually or in combination with other plans or projects is likely to have significant effects on the European site.’1 Regulation 42(2) of the Habitats Regulations states ‘A public authority shall carry out a screening for Appropriate Assessment under paragraph (1) before […] a decision to undertake […] a project is taken.’2 Having taken the view that the works required under ‘Lot 1 – North West Bridges Term Maintenance Contract No. 3’ might constitute ‘projects’3 within the meaning of the Habitats Regulations, Transport Infrastructure Ireland4 (TII) decided that the works required under the contract should be subject to screening for Appropriate Assessment pursuant to, inter alia, Regulation 42 of the Habitats Regulations and Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive.5 Mr. Michael Nolan (the former Chief Executive of Transport Infrastructure Ireland) delegated the function of screening for Appropriate Assessment to me, Dr. Vincent O’Malley, Head of Environmental Policy and Compliance Section, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, on the 21st of June, 2018.

    BiblioMara: An annotated indexed bibliography of cultural and maritime heritage studies of the coastal zone in Ireland BiblioMara: Leabharliosta d’ábhar scríofa a bhaineann le cúltúr agus oidhreacht mara na hÉireann (Stage I & II, January 2004) Max Kozachenko1, Helen Rea1, Valerie Cummins1, Clíona O’Carroll2, Pádraig Ó Duinnín3, Jo Good2, David Butler1, Darina Tully3, Éamonn Ó Tuama1, Marie-Annick Desplanques2 & Gearóid Ó Crualaoich 2 1 Coastal and Marine Resources Centre, ERI, UCC 2 Department of Béaloideas, UCC 3 Meitheal Mara, Cork University College Cork Department of Béaloideas Abstract BiblioMara: What is it? BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.
