B a l l y b o f e y - S t r a n o r l a r The turn-out was fantastic as was the energy in the room with over 60 people taking part. There was a focus on solutions and a mix of big and small ideas to regenerate the town centres of Ballybofey and Stranorlar. We asked three questions Claire McCallan, Architect, Donegal County Council & Kieran Doherty, Chair of BASICC talking at the event What do you What do you What are love about not like about your idea’s Ballybofey- Ballybofey- for the Stranorlar? Stranorlar? future? BASICC and the Regeneration & Development Team of Donegal County Council put this map together to help to trigger some ideas People shared a lot about the P L A C E of B A L L Y B O F E Y - S T R A N O R L A R These are our assets to be These are the challenges that These are the possibilities that protected and enhanced we must address we can develop What do you love about Ballybofey-Stranorlar? The most common response was that people love the community networks and community infrastructure in the towns. What do you dislike about Ballybofey-Stranorlar? The most common dislikes relate to the extent of traffic congestion and dominance of the car in the town centres followed by the poor town centre quality/ urban design/ town centre management. What are your ideas for the future? Twelve key themes for future ideas and interventions emerged In effect this is about and the detail of these ideas can be found on the next page. PLACE - MAKING The greatest number of comments (27%) related to the idea to Place-making is the process improve accessibility in the town centres and enhance public of creating quality places that people want to live, work, play, and learn in. realm and the physical environment. 12 emerging themes for the future regeneration of Ballybofey -Stranorlar The detail of the 12 emerging regeneration themes Lots of the ideas can be mapped while others were not directly linked to a specific location but rather are thematic ideas like marketing the towns as a tourist destination for example. The ideas that can be mapped are combined in the image below with the earlier ideas that were shown to trigger peoples thinking. At this early stage in our collaborative process to prepare a regeneration strategy, this map shows the density of ideas for the regeneration of the twin towns and the wealth of opportunity that we can develop. The next steps What happens next? th All of the feedback and ideas from the consultation event on 26 November 2019 point to a clear need for a roadmap that will document and visualise the projects for community, economic and physical changes in the centre of the twin towns. This will be the Ballybofey-Stranorlar Regeneration Strategy and Action Plan. It will identify a series of projects and actions that we will collectively work to deliver over the next 20 years. These projects and actions will range in type from community type projects to economic projects to infrastructural projects. They will also range in scale from small to transformational. There will be an implementation strategy to guide us as to which project should be prioritised and which should be delivered in the short, medium or longer term. Working in partnership with BASICC, Donegal County Council has appointed Pasparakis Friel Architects to take this work further. As a first step the architects will carry out further targeted consultation which will include an online survey. The architects will integrate the new information that they learn with the feedback from our consultation in November 2019 and they will put design, creativity and vision at the heart of a place-making strategy for Ballybofey-Stranorlar. The Draft will be prepared around December 2020 and there will more opportunities for the community to get involved and input into the Draft. .

    Donegal: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 1 DONEGAL AREA OF COUNTY: 4,841 square kilometres or 1,869 square miles COUNTY TOWN: Lifford OTHER TOWNS: Bundoran, Donegal, Letterkenny, Stranorlar GEOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS: Precambrian metamorphic rocks, granites, Lower Carboniferous sandstones and limestones, building materials AGE OF ROCKS: Precambrian; Devonian to Carboniferous Malin Head Precambrian metamorphic schists and quartzite at Malin Head. In the distance is Inishtrahull, composed of the oldest rocks in Ireland. 2 COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND: Donegal Geological Map of County Donegal Pale Purple: Precambrian Dalradian rocks; Bright blue: Precambrian Gneiss and Schists; Pale yellow: Precambrian Quartzite; Red: Granite; Beige:Beige:Beige: Devonian sandstones; Dark blue: Lower Carboniferous sandstones; Light blue: Lower Carboniferous limestone. Geological history The geology of Co. Donegal most closely resembles that of Co. Mayo, and the county contains the oldest rocks in Ireland, around 1780 million years old, exposed on the offshore island of Inishtrahull. 1000 million years ago [Ma] sediments were deposited in an ocean and an Ice Age that affected the Earth at this time produced glacial till of cobbles of rock set in a matrix of crushed rock. Between 470 and 395 Ma the whole area was subjected to a mountain- building event called the Caledonian Orogeny and the rocks were metamorphosed or altered into gneiss, schists and quartzites now known as the Dalradian Group. Errigal Mountain is composed of this quartzite which weathers to a 'sugarloaf' shape. The metamorphosed glacial deposits are called Tillites. In the late phase of the orogeny two continents collided and the north-east to south-west trend of the rocks in Donegal was produced.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
