APPENDIX C: NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC REALM PLAN PROGRAMME – SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES IN 2014 CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT 2014 June 2014 saw the Heritage Council meet in Donegal, an occasion that afforded us the opportunity to The most significant aspect of 2014 turned out to be that it was the year before 2015, the year during which engage with a wide range of communities from the north-west and feed off their energy, commitment Council would celebrate its 20th birthday. This allowed us to look back over what had been achieved and knowledge. The occasion also allowed me to present to Council for its consideration a paper which (understanding our own heritage) so that we might better set out a vision for the next 20 years. set out the ambitions we should have on behalf of the heritage sector as a whole, and most significantly All of this had to be done against a background where, in 2014, five successive years of budget cuts had been how the Heritage Council should develop as an organisation in the months and years to come if it is to arrested but our capacity remained severely restricted through an ongoing failure to secure sanction for key enhance the quality and level of public service that the public both expects and demands. posts. This is generating real stresses and strains within the organisation not only in trying to compensate for Drawing our inspiration from the magnificence of Donegal’s landscapes and seascapes, and the support missing skill sets but also in terms of the age-profile, where now only one member of staff is less than 30 years and enthusiasm of the communities which live there, our objective is quite clear - an understanding of our old. This is not a healthy sign for any organisation and is something we need to be allowed to address quickly. first 20 years and setting out our approach for the next 20. Our mid-term review of our current Strategic Plan 2012-2016 shows that we are continuing to deliver way Over the last 20 years, with a range of partners, the Heritage Council has imagined and built a unique, beyond what our current capacity should allow. Whilst I want to thank everyone involved (internal and external community-based heritage infrastructure. to the organisation) for the part they are playing in that ongoing work, I continually ask myself, is the current level of effort sustainable, or indeed healthy? National Heritage Week continues to astound, Heritage in Schools To do so it has harnessed its policy function to its grant-giving capacity and shown what is possible with reaches more and more primary pupils and our heritage infrastructure maintains every ounce of its innovation small and regular ongoing investment in a range of communities. The resultant infrastructure is based on and flexibility. valuing and understanding the importance of people, their communities and place, and has shown itself to be resilient, innovative and sufficiently flexible to survive the worst that an economic crisis can throw at it. We continue to propose policies and priorities that make the case for, and demonstrate the worth of, the heritage sector. This requires regular and ongoing investment and support for communities right the way across Over the next 20 years, imagine what could be achieved through working with, enabling and empowering the country. Our capacity needs to be increased to allow this to happen and one day the potential this offers communities in this manner. Such an approach offers immense potential in terms of Ireland’s economic, will be fully realised and every citizen and visitor to Ireland will reap the benefits. social and environmental development. Realising that potential requires investment in both the capacity of the Heritage Council and the sector as a whole over the period 2016-2026. Our objective is to secure that investment in a phased and targeted manner.

Some Monterey trees in Ireland By A. Mitchell, Agr.(Forest)B. At first sight it seems strange that trees found in nature only on the Monterey peninsula in California, a place of hot, dry summers, should grow with singular speed and luxuriance in cool, damp Ireland. In fact, they do not really like Monterey at all. They only grow there, which is not the same thing. During the onset of the Ice Ages, the trees of the R09ky Mountain complex could move south ahead of the cold, follo)"'­ ing their preferred climate towards, and into, Mexico, since the ranges run north and south. When this was (as we hope) all over, the trees migrated north again. Some, however, took a wrong turning. Erosion by the sea had cut the minor range and left the stub as a peninsula. The trees could go no further, and as the hills and valleys behind became drier and hotter, they could not retreat.

It was lived in until 1954 the last occupants being the hatch family who ran a dairy farm here. The castle which stands in the grounds of a Christian brothers school was in a dangerous structural condition by 1986 and was due for demolition. Brother Hogarty was approached by peter Pearson, a dedicated conservationist with a plan to rescue the building. A committee was formed comprising members of an taisce, the national Trust for Ireland, and interested local people and in 1986 the restoration work began. Dublin corporation to its eternal credit, has provided nearly £50,000 towards the cost. The castle has a moat fed by an underground stream called the bluebell. It is said to be the only castle in Ireland completely surrounded by it’s original moat. Until 1780 there was a wooden draw bridge where the present stone bridge now stands: this leads through the gatehouse tower into the castle precincts. The sixteenth century tower is 4 stories high and one provided cleat views of the western approaches to the city from the phoenix park to the Dublin Mountains. A ministerial gallery takes up three sides of the great hall where the barnewalls and their retainers once sat at meat; the recently made copies of medieval floor tiles are based on heraldic motifs of the barnewell family. Two stone masons and a carpenter from France on an exchange training programme, together with Irish traininers, made the roof and carried out repairs to the stone work.
