  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION 1.1 Under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, each Planning Authority is obliged to prepare a Development Plan for its functional area and review this Development Plan every five years. The Development Plan is the core document of the planning and development process. It presents Sligo County Council’s short to medium term view of the future development of the county and underpins the Council’s overall objectives of promoting and facilitating development, conserving the environment and achieving optimum use of resources. The Development Plan provides a framework for the physical development of the county and allows for sustainable, co-ordinated and orderly growth which respects the county’s natural, built and heritage resources. This County Development Plan reviews and updates the previous County Development Plan adopted by Sligo County Council in 1985. It takes account of the major developments that have occurred since 1985 in terms of population and economic trends, physical infrastructure, growth patterns and social deprivation. It recognises and sets out physical development objectives aimed at redressing the enduring problems of rural depopulation and disadvantage, dereliction, sporadic housing in scenic areas and service deficiencies. Every effort has been made to incorporate significant changes in legislation, Departmental guidelines, European Union directives and socio-economic factors impacting upon the development process; the intention is to present a concise, document which guides and informs the achievement of sustainable development1. Sligo County Council will have regard to the aims of Local Agenda 21 in the formulation and implementation of policies contained within the Development Plan2. Sligo County Council is committed to assisting the community in promoting environmental education, supporting local development group projects, providing local environmental information and engaging in public consultation procedures and partnerships.

  • Personhood of Water Depositions of Bodies and Things in Water Contexts As a Way of Observing Agential Relationships
    Personhood of Water Depositions of Bodies and Things in Water Contexts as a Way of Observing Agential Relationships Christina Fredengren Abstract This paper stems from a curiosity about relationships between water, depositions, life, death and sacrifice. It probes into how traditional binaries such as nature/culture, human/ animal, alive/dead and language/reality were addressed in Irish medieval place lore, using critical posthumanist theory to explore ways in which agential powers were not merely as- cribed to the environment, but also observed and acknowledged by people in the past. It also considers how the agentialities of both artefacts and waters could have affected and made their way into human storytelling. In so doing, the paper presents a contribution from ar- chaeology to the emerging field of environmental humanities, offering research that could entice us to sharpen our environmental sensibilities and respond to environmental change. Depositions of things and bodies in wet contexts are often understood as sacrifices made to deities located in the otherworld. However, there is plentiful evidence in archaeology and in medieval place-lore to suggest that waters were observed as being alive, as immanent beings, as more-than-human persons who could have received these depositions as gifts. This study explores how depositions would have added to and reconfigured such water- personhood in locally and regionally situated ways, and how they may also have worked as apparatuses for paying close attention to the water environment.

  • If These Walls Could Talk... a HISTORY of CAHERNANE HOUSE CAHERNANE HOUSE HOTEL
    C If These Walls Could Talk... A HISTORY OF CAHERNANE HOUSE CAHERNANE HOUSE HOTEL Cahernane House was built as the family residence of Henry Herbert in 1877 at a cost of £5,992. The work was carried out by Collen Brothers Contractors. The original plans by architect James Franklin Fuller, whose portfolio included Ballyseedy Castle, Dromquinna Manor and the Parknasilla Hotel, was for a mansion three times the present size. One generation on, the Herbert family had fallen on hard times and the property was being utilised as a hotel. THE HERBERT FAMILY OF CURRANS AND CAHERNANE In the mid seventeenth century, Thomas Herbert of Kilcow, agent for In 1841, Richard’s younger brothers, Henry, Edward and Thomas took his cousin Edward, 3rd Lord Herbert of Cherbury, had settled in Kerry. part in a Killarney - Cambridge four-oared boat race on the lower lake His two sons, Edward and Arthur, founded branches of the family in of Killarney. They won ten pounds from Henry Herbert of Muckross for Kerry: Edward at Muckross and Arthur at Currans and Cahernane. drawing such accolade on the locality. Richard Herbert died in Rome in 1875; he was unmarried. His younger brother Henry was now head of In 1720, Arthur purchased a walled-in house at Cahernane built by the family. Col Maurice Hussey (the site was known as Hussey’s garden). One of his sons, another Arthur, established a new residence nearby in 1750. It was built in Queen Anne style at a cost of £1200. Arthur and Lucy had no children and bequeathed the property to Richard Townsend Herbert (1754-1832), a grand-nephew.

  • 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.

  • 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.
