The pages that follow detail the highlights of 2019. The year began with a series of public consultations on Heritage Ireland 2030 – the new ten-year national Heritage Plan drafted by the Department of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht with input from a selection of key stakeholders including the Heritage Council. As the Department’s primary partner in the public consultation process, the Heritage Council organised three regional consultations in the early months of 2019, which complemented the local events organised by Heritage Officers across the country. By April 2019, over 2,000 people and organisations had made submissions on Heritage Ireland 2030 and in May the Department of Culture Heritage and the Gaeltacht hosted a Public Information Session in Dublin Castle. We look forward to the publication of the finished document, informed by public and professional priorities, in 2020. One of the most significant aspects of 2019 was the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Heritage Officer Programme. Since the appointment of the first heritage officers in counties Sligo, Galway and Kerry in 1999, the programme has contributed directly to increased public understanding and fauna awareness of our natural, cultural and built heritage. President folklore artefacts landscape Michael D Higgins recognised this vital contribution during a special museums anniversary event in Áras an Uachtaráin in September 2019. woodlands inherited waterways towns Other highlights in 2019 include National Heritage Week, which was, once biodiversity again, a successful and well-attended event focused around the theme of pastimes archaeology florapeople traditional and past times.

    L . o . 4 .0 «? ■ U i H NUI MAYNOOTH Qll*c«il n> h£jf**nn Ml Nuad The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development vs. Heritage. Edel Reynolds 2005 Supervisor: Dr. Ronan Foley Head of Department: Professor James Walsh Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. (Geographical Analysis), Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. Abstract This thesis is about the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to investigate the planning process. It has been found that both the planning process and the Environmental Impact Assessment system in Ireland is inadequate. Another aspect of the conflict that was explored was the issue of insiders and outsiders. Through the examination of both quantitative and qualitative data, the conclusion has been reached that the majority of insiders, people from the Tara area, do in fact want the M3 to be built. This is contrary to the idea that was portrayed by the media that most people were opposed to the construction of the motorway. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ronan Foley, for all of his help and guidance over the last few months. Thanks to my parents, Helen and Liam and sisters, Anne and Nora for all of their encouragement over the last few months and particularly the last few days! I would especially like to thank my mother for driving me to Cavan on her precious day off, and for calming me down when I got stressed! Thanks to Yvonne for giving me the grand tour of Cavan, and for helping me carry out surveys there.

Claiming and Hallowing Beltaine Solitary Ritual Outdwellers Dark Dwellers beyond the fire’s light. Bringers of primal chaos; those who will never know peace. You who harmonize not with our songs & praise; Those who’s whispers are but cries and screams. You may have held this place in the past. You may hold this place in the future. But for now, take what has been laid beyond the fire’s light And trouble me not this night! Spirits of the Land From this crossroads between Earth and Sky Among those that dwell in this plane, I call out to the spirits of this land. To you, who whisper and watch, as I have erected my Nemeton before you. This night I call to you spirits of this land and ask for the use of this place for my worship. Deities of past and present peoples; Guardians and protectors of this ground; May 2005 Those of you in tune with my purpose; I invite you to share in my celebration. An offering is made to the Spirits of the Land. 2 Spirits of this land, accept my offering!

    Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape

    Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027: Draft Stage Chapter 4 Biodiversity and Landscape Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape 4.1 Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity simply refers to all living things on earth; people, plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms, the ecosystems and habitats which they form part of and their interdependence and interconnectedness with each other. The conservation of biodiversity is an integral part of good environmental management. Natural capital is the earths stock of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It is from this natural capital that people derive a wide range of services often called ecosystem, services which make human life possible. In line with Regional Policy Objective (RPO) 3.4 of the Eastern and Midland Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy, the Council promotes an ecosystems services approach in the preparation of this County Development Plan. The four main types of ecosystem services are provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural, each of which are defined in Table 4.1 below; Table 4.1 Definition of Each Type of Ecosystem Service Type of Ecosystem Services Definition Provisioning services Products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, genetic resources and medicines. Regulating services Benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, waste management, pollination and pest control. Habitat services Provision of habitats for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools. Cultural services Non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values.
