EASON & SON, Lower O’Connell Street, Dublin. PRICE ONE SHILLING AND SIXPENCE NETT, ROINN IASCAIGH (DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES). ANNUAL REPORT Roinn lascaigh, Phis Chilldara, 3, Baile Atha Cliath, 1st June, 1927. An t-Aire lascaigh. A Chara— I have the honour to submit a report on the Sea and Inland Fisheries of An Saorstat for the years 1923-25, and on the Rural Industries schemes in the Congested Districts for the years 1924-25. The work of co-ordinating the duties and staffs of the various bodies which were entrusted with the task of looking after the fisheries and rural industries up to the date of the establishment of this Department is the principal reason for the delay which has occurred in preparing this Report. A further reason is afforded by the necessity which existed for immediate legislation to preserve our valuable inland fisheries which were being im­ perilled during the years immediately preceding the setting up of the Department in 1923. The Report for the year 192G will be ready for publication before the close of this year. Is mise le meas mor, L. C. MORIARTY, Runaidhe. 5 REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES, 1923-25. In presenting this first report of the operations of the Depart­ ment of Fisheries it is desirable to review the history of the growth of Government administration in relation to Irish fisheries. Fishery Administration. In 1869, Inspectors of Irish Fisheries were first created to deal specifically with the administration of the fishery laws then in operation.

  • 3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy
    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy 3.1 Growth model This section expands on the core aims of the Development Plan by setting out a settlement strategy for the urban and rural parts of the County. The settlement strategy draws on the RPGs and Sligo Sub-Regional Development Strategy 2001-2021. That Strategy, prepared in 2001, anticipated Sligo’s designation as a Gateway City prior to the publication of the NSS. Having reconsidered popula- tion forecasts in light of the NSS, the Council is eager to provide a proactive basis for the future development and regeneration of the County, developing Sligo into a city with a critical mass that is necessary to sustain the County and the North-Western Region into the future. This involves aiming towards a long-term, strategic population horizon of between 50,000 and 80,000 people over the next 20 to 30 years (a pace of development similar to that experienced in Galway over the past several decades). Such a population horizon should be a strategic reference point for actions at the day-to-day level, which would ordinarily be driven by providing for popula- tion growth based on past performance. Therefore, the approach taken in this Development Plan, is not a predict and provide one, but rather a plan → monitor → manage approach that ensures that Sligo can reach its Gateway status, with adjustments to land use zoning occurring during the preparation of subsequent local area plans and other land use plans for settlements throughout the County. In adopting a proactive approach to development in line with NSS projections, the Council has de- cided to pursue faster growth than was originally anticipated in the Sub-Regional Development Strat- egy 2001-2021.

AGE OF ROCKS: Precambrian; Devonian to Carboniferous, Paleogene Streedagh Point and Ben Bulben Lower Carboniferous limestones with the isolated mountain of Ben Bulben in the distance. This was carved by ice sheets as they moved past during the last Ice Age. 2 COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND: Sligo Geological Map of County Sligo Pale Purple: Precambrian Dalradian rocks; Pale yellow: Precambrian Quartzite; Green: Silurian sediments; Red: Granite; Beige:Beige:Beige: Devonian sandstones; Blue gray:Blue gray: Lower Carboniferous sandstones; Light blue: Lower Carboniferous limestone; Brown:Brown:Brown: Upper Carboniferous shales. Geological history The oldest rocks in the county form a strip of low hills extending along the south side of Lough Gill westwards past Collooney towards the Ox Mountains, with a small patch on Rosses Point north-west of Sligo town. They are schists and gneisses, metamorphosed from 1550 million year old [Ma] sedimentary rocks by the heat and pressure of two episodes of mountain building around 605 Ma and 460 Ma. Somewhat younger rocks, around 600 Ma, form the main massif of the Ox Mountains in the west of the county. They include schists and quartzites, once sedimentary rocks that have been less severely metamorphosed than the older rocks further east. In the far south of the county, around Lough Gara and the Curlew Mountains, are found a great thickness of conglomerates (pebble beds) and sandstones, with some layers rich in volcanic ash and fragments of lava.

  • 31. Rosses Point Mini-Plan
    County Development Plan 2017-2023 Consolidated Draft + Adopted Amendments – August 2017 Volume 2, Chapter 31 – Rosses Point Mini-Plan 31. Rosses Point Mini-Plan Village profile Rosses Point is a coastal settlement located approximately 8 km north-west of Sligo City, accessed via the regional road R-291. The village is situated in a Rural Area under Urban Influence. While the built-up area is on lands classified as normal rural landscape, the surrounding coastal zone is extremely sensitive, with large areas classified as visually vulnerable and sensitive rural landscape. The village is identified as a village sustaining the rural community in the County settlement hierarchy (see Section 3.2 of the CDP). The special tourism function of the village is also highlighted. Rosses Point has a core area defined by a continuous streetscape along a large stretch of the village road, with the remainder consisting of medium-density housing development. The village is surrounded by open rural countryside and the Atlantic Ocean – the Cummeen Strand/Drumcliff Bay (Sligo Bay) SAC/pNHA and Cummeen Strand SPA. There is a harbour at the western end of the village and a beach to the north-west. With its long and rich maritime tradition, Rosses Point is unique in the County of Sligo. Over the years, the village had produced many Master Mariners and its connections with the merchant navy continue today. Through the merchant families of Middleton and the Pollexfen, the Yeats brothers formed strong links with the village and referred to it often in their works. The maritime tradition continues today through the facilities for sailing, boating, sea angling, windsurfing, sea kayaking, open water swimming, sea scouting, and the annual International Sea Shanty Festival.
