  • Submission to the Public Consultation on Extension of the Western Rail Corridor
    Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project Submission to the public consultation on extension of the Western Rail Corridor 17 July 2019 Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project Ballyglunin, Tuam, Co. Galway. Charity Number: CHY 20265 Email: [email protected] Page 1 of 4 Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project 1. Introduction Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project welcomes the inclusion by the Government in the Capital Plan of Phases 2 and 3 of the Western Rail Corridor linking Galway and Mayo, and we acknowledge that the railway will play a vital role in: Providing transport for workers in Galway city, Enabling greater access to education facilities and healthcare facilities Encouraging tourists to explore the wider western region with its many untapped tourism resources, Benefiting commercial enterprise. Allowing the development of Ballyglunin station as a major heritage tourism attraction We are confident that the independent review of the potential of the railway in the context of the Atlantic Economic Corridor will confirm the major contribution that the railway can make in terms of regional connectivity, linking Galway city with its natural hinterland in line with the National Planning Framework. Linking Westport, Ballina, Castlebar, Claremorris and Tuam by rail to Galway will have an enormous impact allowing direct rail travel to and from Limerick and Cork offering tourists proper access to the west and north-west for the first time which would help to balance the spread of tourists over the region as opposed to a concentration in Galway city as exists at present. 2. Background The Ballyglunin Station is situated 12km south of Tuam, and 14km north of the Athenry on the Western Rail Corridor.

  • 7. Ireland's Unique Heritage
    1. PREFACE This case study is the result of a presentation prepared by the students of St. Brendan’s College Killarney for the GTTP International Student / Teacher Exchange in Nice, France in November 2002. The completed work does not aim to be original in its findings nor does it claim to be exhaustive in the range of Irish Heritage sites and Heritage Tourism Products it analyses. It collates material which is already in circulation and it makes an effort to suggest business opportunities which may be possible in the area of heritage product development in the town of Killarney. Ireland is presently experiencing unprecedented growth and change. The sudden spurt in Ireland’s material fortunes, driven by the famous “ Celtic Tiger”, plus the end of the troubles in Northern Ireland have generated a sense of optimism and brought about changes in the fabric of Irish society that could not have been foreseen twenty years ago. Therefore there is a need to reassess our sense of national identity, the forces which created it, how it has changed and how the outer world viewed us in the past and how they view us now. An investigation into Heritage Tourism gives us that timely opportunity. Hence the case study “ Heritage Tourism – A Taste of Ireland’s Past”. St.Brendan’s College, Killarney, Co.Kerry, Ireland. CONTENTS 1. Preface 2. Definitions 3. Tourism Statistics 4. Visitor Participation Graph 5. Purpose of Case Study 6. Marketing Video 7. Ireland’s Unique Heritage 8.

  • A Comparative Study of How the National Park Services in the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland Approach Health and Safety
    A Comparative Study of how the National Park Services in the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland Approach Health and Safety by Karen Sutton B.Sc. Submitted in part fulfilment of the HETAC requirements of the award of Master of Science in Environmental Health and Safety Management at Institute of Technology, Sligo September 2008 Supervised by: Guy Marsden Declaration I declare that I am the sole author of this thesis and that all the work presented is my own, unless otherwise referenced. I also declare that this work has not been submitted in whole or part, to any other university or college for any degree or qualification. Signed: Date a $ t rf f o j i ABSTRACT This project is a comparison study of how the United States of America and the Republic of Ireland park services manage health and safety in their National Parks. The project looks at the legislation of both countries, how the National Parks approach safety for both employees and visitors and how the two park service’s record incidents. By comparing the two countries approach to health and safety at National Parks it should be possible to discern if one country has a system that is working better than the other country’s. It then may be possible to use that country’s system as a template for the other country. By analyzing both systems it may be possible to identify issues in the current procedures in health and safety that need to be reassessed. Also, on an international scale the different park services may use this study to adapt their health and safety programme.
