LOUGH KEY LOCAL AREA PLAN 2015 - 2021 APPENDICES st Effective from 21 December, 2015 Roscommon County Council Comhairle Chontae Ros Comáin Appendices: Table of Contents TABLE OF CONTENTS APPENDICES: APPENDIX 1: COMMUNITY VIEWS 1 APPENDIX 2: RECORD OF PROTECTED STRUCTURES (RPS) 5 APPENDIX 3: RECORDED MONUMENTS AND PLACES (RMP) 7 APPENDIX 4: GLOSSARY OF TERMS 17 Lough Key Local Area Plan 2015 – 2021 Page i Appendices: Table of Contents Lough Key Local Area Plan 2015 – 2021 Page ii Appendix 1: Community Views APPENDIX 1 COMMUNITY VIEWS Lough Key Local Area Plan 2015-2021 Page 1 Appendix 1: Community Views The information set out below provides an insight into the opinions of members of the community living in and around the Lough Key LAP area, on a number of key physical, economic, social and environmental issues relevant to the area. This feedback was provided by community members who attended the public meeting held in Cleen Hall, Knockvicar in November 2014. This information has informed and guided the preparation of the Lough Key Local Area Plan. STRENGTHS FOR LOUGH KEY • Healthy tourism base provided by Lough Key Forest; • The area is well placed to expand the tourism base; • Historical value and heritage value of Rockingham Estate; • Lough Key Forest Park is situated in close proximity to a number of key urban centres namely, Boyle, Carrick-on-Shannon and Sligo. WEAKNESSES FOR LOUGH KEY • No hotel or large scale accommodation facility in the Plan area; • Very little commercial activity taking place in the Plan area, particularly in Cootehall or Knockvicar where convenience retail provision is limited; • Inconsistent broadband provision throughout the Plan area; • Local roads in many areas within the Plan boundary are in a poor state of repair; • The tourism opportunities are not being fully explored; • Lack of linkages between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle KEY LANDMARKS AND FEATURES • Lough Key Forest Park; • MacDermot’s Castle; • Miner’s Trail; • Moylurg Tower; • Knockvicar Bog Nature Trail. ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY FACILITIES • Hotel; • Restaurant; • More youth related facilities - for example an all weather playing pitch; • Designated walking and cycle routes – between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle. INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SERVICING DEFICITS • Public transport is virtually non-existent; • The approach roads to Cootehall village are in poor condition; • A footpath from Cootehall village to the national school needs to be provided; • Broadband provision in the area is not consistent; • Improvements to the water scheme are urgently needed. Lough Key Local Area Plan 2015-2021 Page 2 Appendix 1: Community Views BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES • A hotel could be provided in the grounds of Lough Key Forest Park; • Other businesses opportunities would arise from a hotel operating in the area; • Joint ventures between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle as well as other shared tourism related ventures with Carrick-on-Shannon and Sligo could be developed; • It is a general consensus that the creation of a strong tourism industry provides the most viable economic development opportunity for this area. RESIDENTIAL ISSUES • The large scale residential developments in Cootehall should never be replicated; • It remains vital that the sensitive lands around Lough Key are not subjected to inappropriate development.

  • Waldron Family History

    Waldron Family History

    WALDRON FAMILY HISTORY by Patrick J. M. Waldron, 55, Ard Coillte,, Ballina, Killaloe, Co. Clare, Ireland. Telephone: +353 87 2547230 Version 2.1 June 30, 2009 1 Origin of the Name Waldron The surname Waldron occurs in many parts of the world, but this paper con- centrates mainly on the history of the name in Ireland, where the modern name Waldron is used by several unrelated families with independent origins: 1. It is an anglicized surname for the descendants of Baildr´ınor Baldraithe MacCoisteala, who was of Norman descent and lived in the Barony of Costello in the east of County Mayo around the year 1300 (see below). Baildr´ınhas been translated ‘little Walter’. The Norman prefix de and the Gaelic prefix Mac have both been used by this family, reflecting the hibernicization of the Norman MacCoistealas and their descendants af- ter they settled in Mayo. The more usual forms of this family’s name in the Irish language nowadays are De Bhaldraithe and MacBhaildr´ın (MacLysaght 1985) (Molloy n.d.) (Comer and O´ Muraile 1986). 2. It is an anglicized form of MacBhalronta, an Irish patronymic assumed by the Wellesley family, who became established in County Meath in 1174 (MacLysaght 1985). The IGI [New York pages ?? and Ireland pages 28919–28923] (International Genealogical Index (IGI) 1988) for Ireland lists the following as alterna- tive names for this family: Walsey, Weasley, Welby, Wellesley, Willesby, Willoughby, Wilsey and Wolseley. 3. It was the surname of a 1609 immigrant from England, which was in turn derived from the Old-English forename Waleron or Waleran.

  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands

    Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands

    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

    Issues Paper Your County Your Plan Your Future Get Involved Make a Submission WHAT IS A COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN? The County Development Plan is a document that sets out the overall strategy and vision for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over the 6 year plan period. The Plan will be prepared in the context of the framework of national and regional strategies and guidelines, and must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Plan consists of a written statement and accompanying maps. The County Development Plan is a material consideration in making decisions on future planning applications. WHY GET INVOLVED? Given that the new County Development Plan will set out the policy position for the development of the county, it should reflect the needs and ambitions of all communities and residents of County Roscommon. It is important that you have your say on the key issues which will shape the county, including on topics such as housing, economic development, infrastructure provision, environmental protection and climate change. This Issues Paper represents the first step in preparing the new County Development Plan. The paper presents a broad overview of the main issues of consideration and poses a number of questions. The Issues Paper is intended to provoke thought and encourage discussion and involvement from the general public as we plan for the future development of the county. Your input from this early stage onwards is an important part of the plan

It is located at Cootehall bridge in Co. Roscommon between Carrick on Shannon and Boyle. Its prime location with ample mooring facilities an extensive riverfrontage outside Lough Key have made this property a popular stopover for many captains navigating the Shannon. It was an established restaurant known as Manfred’s Restaurant in the 1980s and 1990s and very popular. In 2006 the present owners purchased the property and upgraded it to a fine dining experience. The Cootehall Bridge Riverside Restauarant was well known for its award winning cuisine and an expanding business.

  • Draft Lough Key Area Plan

    Draft Lough Key Area Plan

    LOUGH KEY AREA PLAN 1. PREAMBLE This Area Plan forms part of the County Development Plan 2008-2014. It is intended that a Local Area Plan will be prepared and adopted after the preparation of the County Development Plan. This Plan provides updated information concerning the Lough Key Area and a framework for the management of development in an environmentally sustainable manner within the development envelope of the area. It is imperative that the implementation of development management in the County generates sustainable economic and social development whilst ensuring the conservation and protection of the natural and built environment. 2. LOCATION & AREA DESCRIPTION Lough Key is located just east of Boyle, in County Roscommon. It comprises approximately 350 hectares of mixed woodlands, open parkland, a lake, and a number of mature wooded islands. This area was formerly part of the Rockingham Estate, home of the Stafford King Harmon family. Situated along the Boyle River, Lough Key forms part of the Shannon waterway system. Lough Key and its surrounding landscape form part of an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is also of considerable recreational importance. Lough Key Forest Park provides opportunity for a range of recreational activities such as walking, kayaking, boating, and fishing, to name but a few. This area contains a rich diversity of flora and fauna, and is undoubtedly a hugely important asset and one of County Roscommon’s most important recreational resources. The River Shannon system is a highly significant waterway that extends along the eastern boundary of County Roscommon. The waterway includes a major tributary, the Suck, and a number of interconnecting lakes including Lough Allen, Lough Ree, Lough Key, Drumharlow Lough, and Lough Boderg.

The Miners Walk is an important feature also. For such a tiny village there is a plethora of amenity developments to enjoy. Thank you for the completed questionnaire and sketch map, both facilitated adjudication. A work programme for the next three or five years? If so do let us have a photocopy of the main features of the work programme with next year's application. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT The majority of buildings within Knockvicar are well presented; however, a rusted roof which can be seen beyond the bridge in Knockvicar needs to upgraded as a matter of urgency. The Post Office looks well. Well done on the work of the Fas scheme regarding stone wall construction. Be sure to keep them clear of excess growth and weeds etc. LANDSCAPING The landscaped area at the bridge was in full bloom during adjudication and looked well.
