Building Peace Through the Arts Item/Min Ref: Title of Report: Officer presenting: Director of Health & Building Peace Through Community The Arts – Re-Imaging Communities Author: Community Services Manager 1. Purpose of Report / Recommendations 1.1 To inform members of the public art project previously managed by Strabane District Council with grant support from the Arts Council for Northern Ireland. 1.2 To confirm members’ support for the Building Through The Arts Re- Imaging Communities Project and seek members’ approval to submit a Stage 2 application to the Arts Council for Northern Ireland. 2. Background 2.1 The Re-Imaging Communities Project is designed to use creative arts processes and the installation of public artworks to help create inclusive, safer neighbourhoods which are free from visible signs of sectarianism and racism. The themes within this programme are community cohesion, regeneration through the arts, positive relations at the local level, peace and reconciliation and connecting communities. 2.2 This project has been developed by Strabane District Council in partnership with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and local community groups from Castlederg, Donemana, Magheramason and Strabane Town. 2.3 Strabane District Council was successful in securing Stage 1 funding under the Building Peace Through The Arts Re-Imaging Communities Programme for the first phase of the project which was to undertake a community consultation/ design process that will lead to the commissioning of public artworks in the target areas. 2.4 Expressions of Interest were sought from artists to deliver a piece of public art within the four locations identified within Castlederg, Donemana, Magheramason and Strabane Town. 2.5 Three shortlisted artists per each geographical area were invited to present their proposals to the selection panel, comprising officials from ACNI, Council, NIHE and community representatives. The proposals included sketch designs, illustrations and/or a maquette as well as an explanation of the concept for the artwork, how it relates to the themes and how the artist/artist team would approach its design, fabrication and installation. 2.6 As a result the following four art pieces are recommended: LOCATION TITLE ARTIST Castlederg ‘Wavelength’ Compast Glass North & Ballinliss Forge Works Donemana ‘The Hooley’ Red Apple Arts Magheramason ‘Catch a Falling Star’ Michael Disley Strabane ‘The Long Boat’ Maurice Harron 3 Key Issues 3.1 Based on advice from The Arts Council for Northern Ireland an indicative budget for the artwork for the four locations is as follows: Castlederg £25,000 Donemana £20,000 Magheramason £25,000 Strabane Town £50,000 TOTAL: £120,000 3.2 The Arts Council for Northern Ireland has confirmed that the next round of Public Arts Funding will not open until January 2016. 4 Financial and Other Implications 4.1 Based on the successful design concepts, attached as Appendix 1, a Stage 2 application will be submitted to the Arts Council for Northern Ireland for the total amount of the four public art pieces estimated at £120,000. In the interim if any other funding opportunities such as Neighbourhood Renewal, Rural Development, are identified these will be pursued accordingly. 5 Recommendations 5.1 To approve the four art pieces as recommended by the Selection Panel. 5.2 To approve the submission of a Stage 2 application from Derry City and Strabane District Council to the Arts Council for Northern Ireland under the Building Through the Arts – Re-Imaging Communities Programme or alternative programmes for the production and installation of four pieces of artwork within identified locations within Castlederg, Donemana, Magheramason and Strabane Town. 6 Background Papers Appendix 1: Successful Design Concepts.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The Two Loughs working group agreed to investigate with a view to populating the report with the additional information where it existed. This review exercise also identified other sources of information which were also integrated into the original report to add value. 2.0 Executive Summary Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC), Loughs Agency and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs’ Inland Fisheries Division have come together to investigate options for developing a number of still water (and other) sites located- within the DCSDC council catchment- as angling, recreational and heritage hubs.

  • Governors' Report 2013
    Donemana Primary School Governors’ Report 2013 - 2014 Foreword It gives me great pleasure to present to you the 2013/2014 Board of Gover- nors’ report for Donemana Primary School. You will be able to clearly see from the Calendar of Events and reports just how busy and varied a school year it has been for all of the pupils in our school. As a teacher myself, I have found it very impressive to note the huge opportunities and examples of good practice that are clearly evident in school. In the short time that I have been involved with Donemana Primary School, I have been very impressed with the leadership provided by our Principal, Mrs Hay, and the hard work, motivation, commitment and teamwork shown by all members of staff within school. There is a very positive, warm atmosphere and ethos within Donemana Primary, which would be the envy of many schools. We are indebted and very fortunate to have such a gifted and committed teaching and support staff entrusted with the educational and personal devel- opment of our young people. It is well known that the most successful schools work in partnership with the parents of their children. I would encourage all of you to get as involved as you can be with the work of the school because education does work. As par- ents, we are our child’s first teacher and have a vital role to play. With your support, your child can achieve in education and improve their life chances. I would have no doubt that by working in partnership your child can be the best they can be.

These and other air quality standards and their objectives have been enacted through the Air Quality Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 in Northern Ireland. The Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 requires District Councils to undertake air quality reviews and assessments. In areas where the air quality objectives are not anticipated to be met by the specified dates, District Councils are required to establish Air Quality Management Areas as a means to improve air quality. In previous rounds of the review and assessment process Strabane District Council declared 3 air quality management areas affecting Strabane, Newtownstewart and Castlederg in relation to exceedences of the air quality objectives for particles (PM10). All three AQMA’s remain in force and have been supplemented by the declaration of 3 overlying smoke control areas in order to control domestic emissions from solid fuel combustion. This report provides an update as to the prevailing conditions within the Strabane District Council area and identifies any relevant changes to the air quality across the district.
