The report reflects the ongoing work programme of the Council and shows considerable progress is being made in all facets of our activities. Our Corporate Plan covering the period to 2009 is in place and is the framework for future action. The new County Development Plan was at an advanced stage at year end and will guide the future development of our County at a time of unprecedented growth and change. The development of a 250 acre site at the Portlaoise Interchange in Togher seeks to exploit our strategic location in the country. The M7/M8 Motorway Project was progressed to tender stage as was the Portlaoise Main Drainage Scheme. On the housing side, almost 200 houses were built or purchased in 2005. A four year Traveller Accommodation Programme was adopted. Once again Laois is to the fore in its support for the Arts, Sports and Leisure in the County. Massive improvement and refurbishment works to Portlaoise and Portarlington Swimming Pools were brought to tender stage in 2005. Indeed as may be seen in the report all sections of the Council played an important role in the provision of services to our customers. I am very grateful to the Members of the Council for their help during the year and whose co-operation and support made my job easier to do. I sympathise with the family of our late colleague on the Council, Michael Turley who sadly passed away in 2005. I extend my thanks also to the Management and every member of staff for their loyalty and commitment both to me and the people of Laois, whom we all serve, in the delivery of a quality service. I commend this report as an excellent overview of the valuable work done by the Council in 2005. Larry Kavanagh Cathaoirleach Annual Report 2005 3 County Manager’s Foreword It gives me great pleasure as County Manager to welcome the publication of the Laois County Council Annual Report for the year ending 31st December 2005. The publication of the Annual Report provides an opportunity to review the performance of the Council and the quality of services provided by it in the previous twelve months. The report also records the key achievements in relation to the provision of infrastructure. It provides an opportunity to publicise the various activities engaged in by the Council in the period covered by the report. Since taking up my appointment as County Manager in February of 2005, I have had an opportunity to work closely with the Elected Representatives and the Employees of the Council. I am satisfied that all parties concerned are entirely committed and focused on ensuring ongoing improvements in the delivery of the Council’s services and the development of the County to its maximum potential. At present a period of sustained and rapid growth is being experienced here in County Laois. There is an increasing demand for the provision of major infrastructure projects including the expansion of water and sewerage networks and the construction of roads that will service new housing developments. In addition to this the Council is currently engaged in the delivery of social infrastructure projects including libraries, swimming pools and playgrounds. The Council is ensuring the economic development of the County and in this regard is committed to developing enterprise centres at a number of locations throughout the County. The Council is also playing a role in the development of a major transport and logistics park at the Togher Interchange on the outskirts of Portlaoise. Presently there are a number of major retail developments under construction in the County and it is my hope that when they commence operation there will be a reduction in the economic leakage that is currently taking place to the detriment of County Laois. The objectives contained in the Council's Corporate Plan are being delivered and the Elected Council has expressed its satisfaction with the rate of progress that is being made in that regard. Regular updates are presented to the Council which set out the status of each of the capital projects which are being undertaken. In 2005 the Council was faced with many challenges and I am glad to say that it has been successful in meeting those challenges. During 2005 an immense amount of time and resources was targeted at finalising the County Development Plan which covers the period 2006 to 2012. Work on the introduction of a Performance Management and Development System was also commenced in 2005 and it is intended that this system will be fully operational throughout the organisation before the end of 2006. I look forward to working with the Council's Employees, the Elected Council, other agencies and the community sector in facilitating the ongoing improvement of the living environment in County Laois.

His intention was to fill an educational and cultural need unrecognized by commercial publishers. Hogan believed that large numbers of excellent playscripts, written by distinguished authors, were unavailable to the public, small theaters, and classrooms, because they were not commercially attractive to large publishing firms. Hogan, whose areas of scholarly expertise include modern drama and Irish literature, also wished to make the work of Irish literary figures available to both students and audiences in the United States. Although Proscenium Press began publishing in 1965, the Press was not incorporated until 1977, when incorporation became a necessary development in seeking tax exempt status as a nonprofit organization. Proscenium Press was incorporated in the State of Delaware, where Hogan had joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 1970.

    THE BEAUTY QUEEN of LEENANE by Martin Mcdonagh

    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE by Martin McDonagh by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2018 ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT I was too shy to be in a band and go on stage. I did write film scripts, but they were shit. I even wrote a radio play, too, and it was shit. Plays were really my last option. The reason I didn’t write plays initially was because I thought theatre was the worst of all the art forms. —Martin McDonagh MARTIN McDONAGH TIMELINE 1970 Martin McDonagh is born on March 26 in southeast London. His mother is the former Mary Harte, originally from Killeenduff, Easky, County Sligo. She works as a chambermaid, and his father, John, who hails from Leitir Mealláin, Connemara, County Galway, is a construction worker. McDonagh and his brother John Michael, his only sibling and his elder by five years, will go on to spend many childhood summers in the west of Ireland, staying with their relatives. The young family lives on a council estate (public housing project) in Elephant and Castle, where half his block is occupied by Irish families. McDonagh describes the community: “the Kellys on one side of the house and the Caseys on the other, and the Dubliners’ songs blaring out all afternoon” (O’Hagan, 2015). They move up the road to Camberwell when McDonagh is still a child. 1984 McDonagh sees his first play, David Mamet’s American Buffalo at the Duke of York’s Theatre in the West End Theatre District of London. Al Pacino, his favorite film actor, plays Donny.

The dissolution last month amidst recriminations over a heating scheme of the power-sharing government of the Democratic Unionist Party’s Arlene Foster, who stepped down as First Minister, and Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuinness, the Deputy First Minister who had previously resigned in disgust, mandated a new election for the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Mostly though, they mean what was she like before she went crazy, as though their own mother might turn overnight, like a bottle of milk left out of the fridge. Or they might, themselves, be secretly askew. Something happens as they talk to me. I am used to it now. It works in them slowly; a growing wonder, as though recognising an old flame after many years. ‘You have her eyes,’ they say. People loved her. Strangers, I mean. I saw them looking at her and nodding, though they failed to hear a single word she said. And, yes, I have her eyes. At least, I have the same colour eyes as my mother; a hazel that, in her case, people liked to call green. Indeed, whole paragraphs were penned about bog and field, when journalists looked into my mother’s eyes.

The response from the public was immediate and so remarkable that within a very short time a new and extremely successful Movie Theatre Business was developed with enormous cinemas built to house the insatiable demand. In Ireland the response was no less remarkable. On the 17th of April 1896 the Freeman’s Journal carried the following notice: “Dan Lowrey’s Star of Erin Theatre or Varieties (now the Olympia) announced ‘the world’s most scientific invention: The greatest, most amazing and grandest novelty ever presented in Dublin: The Cinématographe.’”2 and only three days later cinema arrived in Ireland. The first purpose built theatre, the Volta was opened in 1909. Very early filming was made in 1907 when a journey from “London to Killarney” was produced which included some shots of the journey from Waterford to Wexford. During the filming of this newsreel short features were made as interludes including “Irish wives and husbands” which is “probably the first fiction film made in Ireland…”3 The first excursion by American film-makers occurred when the Kalem Company commissioned Sidney Olcott to produce some European based features and he chose Ireland because his mother was from Dublin.
