Clare e.mail [email protected] FAX 00353 (0)65 6869403 Draf t Clare County Development Plan 2005 - 2011 Foreword The Draft Clare County Development Plan has been prepared in accordance with the steps set out in the Planning and Development Act 2000 as set out in Table 1 below. It was presented to the members of Clare County Council on the 15th December 2003 and a notice published for public consultation on 13th February 2004. The Draft Clare County Development Plan has been made available to the public and to various statutory bodies for consideration. Submissions and observations on the draft plan can be made up to the 11th June 2004. This is the next step in a two year process that started in March 2003 and should result in the final development plan for the county in place in February 2005 to replace the current development plan. This plan sets out in draft form and as concisely as possible the Planning Authority's current thinking on planning policy until 2011. It should also bring into clear focus all of the important planning issues that will be subject to discussion during the remaining steps of the process. Challenges for the Development Plan 2005 - 2011 The key challenges for the Plan are: a) Stimulating the growth of a balanced settlement structure to create centres of population to facilitate efficient use of resources and to attract inward investment. b) Increasing equal opportunities for all for access to society, employment, education, housing, community services and facilities throughout the county. c) Stopping the decline of rural communities. d) Improving the quality of urban living. e) Increasing the protection and conservation of the Natural and Built Heritage. f) Reducing the congestion on and improving the safety of the road network.

This plan starts by saying what it is the Planning Authority wants to see happen through the physical development of land in the county. It has 24 objectives that it believes will deliver its development strategy. These objectives cover a wide range of some issues required to be included in the plan by law and others to cover issues the Planning Authority think are important for the county. To achieve these objectives it is necessary for the Planning Authority to adopt policies that deal with the opportunities for development that are proposed by others and to assess the Council’s own development needs. These policies are arranged under topic headings and are supported by an explanation of why they are needed and how they will operate. The policies indicate what approach the Council will take in managing change brought about through the development and use of land in the county. They provide the broad strategic approach the detail of which is provided for all towns and villages through a series of local area plans. Much of the detail of how development will take place and where is covered in a series of Local Area Plans that cover the whole of the county. These are written to conform with this plan and include detailed statements about each settlement and maps showing the boundaries and zoning of land. What Use is the Plan to Me ? If you are living or operating a business outside of the county and are interested in developing a business, home or a living in the county then the development plan will tell you about the current use of land and how changes in that use of land will be managed to bring about the sustainable growth of the county. It will show you how different settlements relate to each other and what infrastructure is present to support future growth. It will tell you what action the Council will be supporting to achieve the expressed views of those living in the county and others who have an interest in future change. If you are looking to carry out a specific development, it will tell you in general terms what the Planning Authority’s response is likely to be and why. Detailed information about the boundaries of settlements and the zoning of land for development is contained within the Local Area Plans.

Every person will have high quality stable employment available to them at a location convenient to their place of residence. Every community will have available within it a network of community and service facilities which will ensure the sustainability of the community in the long-term. Every community will have available within it a high-quality water supply and appropriate means of disposing of waste including domestic, commercial and industrial. The natural resources of the county will be preserved and protected and the Planning Authority will adopt a pro-active approach to achieving a balance between the social, economic and environmental requirements of the present and future generations. The natural resources of the county will be protected in a manner which will ensure that the county continues to be a pleasant place in which to live and a rewarding place to visit, and where appropriate will be enhanced by careful development. There will be a safe, efficient and comfortable network of roads organised in an appropriate hierarchy in order to ensure safe passage throughout the county for those on foot and in vehicles. The archaeological and architectural heritage of the county will be appreciated and will be protected by ensuring that it is not damaged either by its own decay or destruction or by unsympathetic developments nearby. The needs of the marginalised and the disadvantaged will be accommodated in all aspects of the development of the County. The natural habitats of the county will be protected in a manner consistent with their interest, rarity and importance. The quality of the air and water in the county will be protected and improved and will not be damaged by the uncontrolled emission of polluting materials.

Site selection was carried out using the Forest Inventory Planning System 1998 (FIPS) and local knowledge. Surveys comprised the recording of site species lists and information at the site level on topography, management, grazing, natural regeneration, geographical situation, adjacent habitat types, invasive species, dead wood and boundaries. Relevés were recorded in each of the main stand types identified at each site. For each relevé, data were recorded on vascular plant and bryophyte cover abundance, soil type and soil chemistry, notable lichens, stand structure, and natural regeneration. Data were also incorporated from a number of external sources. This resulted in a database with data from 1,320 sites and 1,667 relevés. The relevé dataset was analysed using hierarchical clustering and indicator species analysis. Four major woodland groups were defined: Quercus petraea – Luzula sylvatica (260 relevés), Fraxinus excelsior – Hedera helix (740 relevés), Alnus glutinosa – Filipendula ulmaria (296 relevés) and Betula pubescens – Molinia caerulea (371 relevés). Further analysis of the dataset divided these four groups into twenty-two vegetation types. For each vegetation type a synoptic table of the floristic data was produced, together with a list of key indicator species, a list of example sites, summary environmental and stand structure data and a distribution map.

  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

    Clare in WW2 - The Emergency - WW2 /Emergency Stories from Clare Stories from Clare D Day 1944 - The 2nd US Rangers By Ger Browne The aim of this project is to find out how many men and women from Clare took part in WW2, and the effect of the war on Clare. It is hoped that an extension will be added to the Great War Memorial in Ennis that will include the names of the Clare War Dead from WW2 / The Emergency. At the moment we know that 86 died from Clare as well as in Clare. I would like to thank Keir McNamara, and his late father Peadar McNamara for all their research on WW1 and WW2. Eric Shaw, who has been providing me with amazing WW1 and WW2 information for years, and all the following who have helped make this project possible. Paddy Waldron, The Local Studies Centre, Peter Beirne, Brian Doyle, Guss O’Halloran, Sean Glennon, Jim Molohan, Joe Ó Muircheartaigh, Eddie Lough, Local Parish Booklets, The Clare Champion and The Clare People.

  • Ennis Cathedral
    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.
