(PDA) was established in 2001 to oversee projects in the area. Since 2016, kindled by local interest, fundraising, community support and a vital energy among key individuals, it has become a powerful engine for transformation in the locality, raising capital and executing essential upgrading works to the Portrunny area generally, with a specific focus on the marina and community amenity. During 2016, a series of consultations were held to craft an aspirational future for Portrunny. Issues identified included deficits in community services, meeting/event space, refreshment amenities, sanitary facilities, and a critical lack of enterprise/tourism opportunities. It was agreed that a collective solution would be welcomed by all. The PDA set an outline brief for a multi-purpose, stand-alone Portrunny Amenity and Recreation Centre (PARC). In late 2016, PDA approached Roscommon County Council to secure a site for the proposed centre. RCC have a 4.5-acre site at Portrunny and expressed interest in partnership, subject to feasibility. The local LEADER programme were soon on board to fund a professional study, and a collaborative design team were appointed, led by Rethink Tourism, in 2017. The team included georgeboyledesigns, architectural consultant and vision strategy advisor, and FDA consulting engineers, who carried out high-level infrastructural appraisals (see appendix 6). A dynamic gathering in February 2018 was attended by a highly-engaged audience, during which Rethink Tourism presented their research findings. Georgeboyledesigns presented a synopsis of inspirational features of the area: its lyrical beauty and evocative history, along with a short site appraisal and tentative strategy for development opportunity and formal orientation on the site. This detailed feasibility study contains the findings of the design team and builds on consultation undertaken with the community. The study was undertaken in two phases, with phase one consisting of site evaluation & opportunity assessment. This analysis of the current situation included: site analysis, including site suitability; market analysis including potential user groups; examples of relevant best practice; and SWOT analysis. This first phase concludes that there is a demonstrable need for a facility such as PARC at this beautiful location on Lough Ree, at a strategic location on the River Shannon and within Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands. The area currently lacks a hub that can provide required facilities and direct visitors to nearby attractions and activities. Its development would capitalise upon existing investment and provide a much needed amenity and recreation centre for the local community, as well as domestic and international

  • Committee 1 Roscommon That the Revised Local Electoral Boundary Shall Ensure That In
    18.331 Local Electoral Area Boundary Committees - Committee 1 Roscommon That the revised local electoral boundary shall ensure that in the case of Roscommon that a local electoral area shall be designed around the urban centre of Roscommon County Town and encompass the surrounding villages and rural hinterland thus taking account of local and community identities and linkages. Please see attached a map showing Roscommon County Town and its radius of linkage. These linkages include shopping, services including doctors and dentists, Garda Station, hospital, local schools, after school activities, sports, Library. At present people in the surrounding areas of Athleague DED, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Kilbegnet and Donamon continue to frequent Roscommon Town for all of the above. However they do not have ease of access to their Municipal District Office. The Roscommon Municipal District is a few minutes drive away however the Athlone Municipal District office is 40 minutes drive away. No other area in the County is so removed from an area office which is ironic considering it is just minutes from the Roscommon Municipal district. The Roscommon MD has an area office in Roscommon and Castlerea. The Boyle MD has an area office in Boyle and Ballaghaderren and Strokestown. And the Athlone MD has one area office in Monksland. The structure is not servicing the people of Athleague, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Rosmoylan and Donamon. The simple solution is to reconnect them electorally with their local town, the County Town, Roscommon. Roscommon Town Team is working very effectively servicing Roscommon Town and surrounding areas however it is not connected to Athleague, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Rosmoylan and Donamon as they are in the Athlone MD and their closest Town Team is in Monksland (40 minutes away).
