Sligo town's bustling streets are peppered with small boutiques, cafes and bars, as well as a myriad of craft shops offering many handmade crafts including jewellery, pottery and knitwear. Chiens acceptés. L'école d’Annaghmore fut construite dans les années 1860 pour l’éducation des enfants des environs. Aujourd'hui, son vestibule confortable mène à un salon très lumineux où un feu de cheminée ajoute une lueur chaleureuse à cette pièce à double hauteur. Il y a des plages à proximité à Strandhill (20 mn). Les rues animées de la ville de Sligo sont parsemées de petites boutiques, cafés et bars, ainsi que d'une multitude de boutiques d'artisanat offrant de nombreux produits artisanaux: bijoux, poteries et tricots. History: Built in the 1860s, The Schoolhouse, Annaghmore is an attractive rural building picturesquely located by the Owenmore River and surrounded by mature woodland. The building retains many original decorative features including ornamental wooden bargeboards and lattice windows surmounted by wooden hood mouldings. The most striking feature is the projecting oriel window on the upper east gable.The L- shaped one and a half storey building originally comprised of a two-storey accommodation area (the schoolmaster's residence) and a double height schoolroom. Some 19th Century schoolhouse furnishings still survive including the schoolhouse fireplace, coat hooks and chalkboards. Construite dans les années 1860, l'école d’Annaghmore est un intéressant et pittoresque monument rural situé près de la rivière Owenmore et entouré par un terrain boisé. Le bâtiment a conservé un bon nombre de ses caractéristiques d’origines, notamment ses décorations ornementales en bois sur les lambrequins et fenêtres à croisillons surmontées par des moulures en bois. La caractéristique la plus frappante est la fenêtre en encorbellement du pignon supérieur est. Le bâtiment en forme de L et a demi étage était à l'origine composé d'une zone d'habitation sur deux étages (résidence du maître d'école) et d’une salle de classe sur deux niveau également. Certains meubles de l’école datant du 19ème siècle survivent encore, y compris les portes manteaux et tableaux à la craie. This charming rural schoolhouse on the Annaghmore Estate which has been owned by the O'Hara family for several centuries, features distinctively Tudor Revival decorative elements. Cette charmante école rurale située sur le Domaine d’Annaghmore qui fut détenue par la famille O'Hara pendant plusieurs siècles, présente des éléments décoratifs du styleTudor (Renaissance). There is local folklore surrounding the last tenant of the schoolhouse. Hughie Savage was a bachelor who farmed on the other side of the Owenmore river and kept cattle in the mountains. He lived at Annaghmore without electricity or running water and did not have a bank account. He kept all his money in a tin box which legend says is still buried somewhere at Annaghmore since it has never been found! Il y a une légende locale concernant le dernier locataire de l'école. Hughie Savage était un célibataire qui cultivait sa ferme de l'autre côté de la rivière Owenmore et gardé le bétail dans les montagnes. Il vécut à Annaghmore sans électricité ni eau courante et n'avait pas de compte en banque. Il gardait tout son argent dans une boîte en fer qui selon la légende est toujours enterrée quelque part à Annaghmore car elle n'a jamais été trouvée! Restoration Constructed of a mixture of cut stone, rubble and blond brick rendered with lime plaster, the schoolhouse had not been used since the death of the last tenant in 1998 and was consequently in very poor condition when the Trust began the conservation of the property.The lead up to the restoration began when Annaghmore was first identified as 'at risk' building during a Cross Border Restoration Survey which the Trust undertook in 1998. Construite d'un mélange de pierres taillées, gravats et briques blonde terminés avec un enduit à la chaux, l'école n'avait pas été utilisée depuis la mort du dernier locataire en 1998 et était par conséquent en très mauvais état lorsqu’Irish Landmark Trust a débuté des actions pour la conservation de la propriété. La décision de restauration de ce monument a commencé quand l’école d’Annaghmore fut dans un premier temps identifiée comme étant un bâtiment «menacé» au cours d’une enquête sur la restauration transfrontalière qu’Irish Landmark a entrepris en 1998.

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.

  • 3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy

    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.

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.

    Submission to: Ireland 2040, The National Planning Framework Submitted by: Community and Voluntary College, Sligo Public Participation Network Date: 28th March 2017 The Community and Voluntary College of the Sligo Public Participation Network (PPN) consists of 303 Community and Voluntary Organisations, representing the needs of hundreds of residents, working to improve the quality of life for people in Sligo. We welcome this opportunity to feed into the Ireland 2040 Plan. It is our vision that by 2040 Sligo will be an enterprising, inclusive, resilient and environmentally sustainable place, which values and celebrates its unique landscape and rich culture and heritage and where the wellbeing of future generations is central to everything we do (Local Community and Economic Plan 2016) To achieve this vision, Sligo is ready to grow, and should be determined as a specific area of investment as part of the 2040 National Spatial Strategy. 1 Sligo Sligo has a population of approximately 65,000 people, as the gateway to the North West it is situated at a strategically important point. It is 2.5 hours from Dublin and 2 hours from both Galway and Derry. Rich in cultural, natural heritage and coastal amenities, home to two third level colleges, a regional hospital, 22 major multi-national employers and a growing tourism industry – Sligo already has the foundations laid for future growth. Like all areas, some people in Sligo have to deal with poverty, disadvantage and social exclusion – these experiences can be linked to unemployment, disability, ethnicity and caring responsibilities amongst other factors. A more inclusive future for Ireland will consider how growth can promote greater equality between all the diverse people who make up our community.
