Protect the Environmental, Social, Cultural and Economic Quality of Village Life for Residents and Visitors” Cushendun and Knocknacarry Village Plan August 2011 Vision Statement “A vibrant and sustainable community where people support one another and are committed to working together to improve and protect the environmental, social, cultural and economic quality of village life for residents and visitors” Introduction The Village Plan for Cushendun and Knocknacarry was developed over a number of months. Local residents in Cushendun and Knocknacarry put forward their views about how they’d like to see their village develop in the next five years. This process was assisted by Cushendun and District Development Association working with Moyle District Council, and was facilitated by Community Places. Funding for the village plan project comes from the NE Rural Development Programme Village Renewal Measure, which is being part funded under Axis 3 and4 of the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 by the European Union and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. Moyle District Council contributed 25% of the cost of the project. Consultation Working with the Cushendun and District Community Development Association and Moyle District Council, Community Places designed the Cushendun Village Plan process. The key steps included: • Briefing Meetings • Village Walk Around Contact Key Groups and Organisations • Desktop Analysis • Publicity and Promotion • Community Consultation • Develop the Plan • Finalise the Plan It was agreed that a range of consultation methods would be used to gather views from groups, individuals and businesses in the area.

Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution.
