This initiative will act in support of the regeneration of these rural towns and villages and will prioritise projects for development in each of the seven areas. Action planning for rural towns and villages has been set out in the LEADER Local Development Strategy for County Westmeath under the sub- theme of Rural Towns. This sub-theme supports the regeneration of rural towns, promoting them as attractive places to visit, live and do business in. This is to be achieved by building on the economic strengths and infrastructure of the area while also addressing the key challenges for business, community and recreation. The process involving all seven villages took place over six months between January and June 2018. Blue Moss used a participatory facilitation process called Outcomes Based Accountability or OBA with all 7 villages; a process that is interactive and aimed at turning words into action. Process Stages: i. Development of a Vision Statement and underpinning values- What is good about living in the village and what would the group like to see in the future? ii.

  • A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background
    Investing In Our Transport Future: A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background Paper Eight Impact of Previous Transport Investment in Ireland Issued by: Economic and Financial Evaluation Unit Department Of Transport, Tourism and Sport Leeson Lane Dublin 2 Ireland Background Paper Impacts of Previous Major Projects Over the last decade land transport investment in Ireland formed a key part of programmes for government and development strategies. These strategies1 prioritised significant investment in roads and public transport. The main drivers of this investment were reducing travel times, improving environmental conditions, increasing safety and the obvious links between transport investment and economic growth2 - in particular in terms of increasing our competitiveness. These priorities saw transport investment increase from an average of 1.02% of GDP (1953 - 1997) to an average of 1.43% of GDP (1998 - 2008). In real terms this meant the scale of capital formation increasing from, for example, €838m (2012 prices) in 1996 to €2.6bn (2012 Prices) by 2006. A great deal of this increased investment came as a result of the National Development Plans 2000-2006 and 2007-2012. The following sections give an overview of some of the major transport infrastructure projects that have been completed in the past decade. A brief summary of major projects under the categories of road, heavy rail, light rail and bus are provided. Following this, there will be an in-depth analysis of two major infrastructure projects; the M4/M6 and the LUAS. 1. Road A key part of transport strategy was to upgrade the road network, particularly national roads, as illustrated by investment in this area of approximately €9.1 billion between 2006 and 2010.

  • What Kind of Irish Was Spoken in Westmeath?
    What kind of Irish was spoken in Westmeath? AENGUS FINNEGAN By the time of the Gaelic Revival at the end of the 19th century, the Irish language as a vernacular had largely disappeared across Leinster. The small extent of the language which remained was probably confined to the most remote and out-of-the-way townlands, and scattered among a generation who had been largely forgotten by the outside world – with the possible exception of a small part of Co. Louth. It is no wonder, then, that it is primarily to the north, west and southwest areas of Ireland that scholars of the language in all its varying forms have since directed their attention. It is in these regions that the language continued to be spoKen into the 20th century, and indeed continues to be spoKen, though much less extensively than heretofore. This focus, however understandable, has left a large gap in our understanding of the historical distribution of the dialects of Irish across the eastern half of the country. The only means of filling this gap is to carry out a detailed study of the scant remains of the language, as found in word lists, folKlore collections, the later manuscript tradition (if available), everyday speech, and, last but by no means least, in placenames, including both townland and minor names. The great advantage of evidence from placenames to the historial dialectologist is the universal distribution of the placenames themselves. This means that aspects of the language which come to light in the placenames of one area can safely and easily be compared with developments in another.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
