The Border Regional Authority Údarás Réigiúnach na Teorann Regional Planning Guidelines (2010-2022) September 2010 Border Regional Authority Planning Guidelines 2010 – 2022 – CATHAOIRLEACH’S INTRODUCTION / FOREWORD CATHAOIRLEACH’S INTRODUCTION / FOREWORD The review of the Regional Planning Guidelines for the Border Region has taken place at a time of significant global and national challenges in terms of the economy, emerging EU Directives and national legislation and policy changes in areas of spatial planning and environmental management. There is also the legacy of development that has taken place during the ‘Celtic Tiger’ years, which presents both challenges and opportunities for the future development of the Region. This is the second time that Regional Planning Guidelines have been prepared for the Border Region and cover the period from 2010 – 2022. The new Guidelines build upon the experiences and progress made under the previous Guidelines. The new Regional Planning Guidelines are prescriptive in setting out a planning framework for the proper planning and development of the Region, and ensuring that we provide sustainable communities for our citizens in the coming years. The Guidelines provide a long term planning framework for the Region, and have been closely aligned with the National Spatial Strategy and National Development Plan in Ireland, and the Regional Development Strategy in Northern Ireland. The new Guidelines also provide a more integrated model for the growth and development of the Region, as spatial planning has been closely aligned with the economy and proposed infrastructure within all relevant sectoral areas. This new approach has been complimented by more detailed consideration given to areas such as climate change, environmental management and flood risk management, all of which pose significant challenges for policy makers. These Guidelines could not have come about without the input and hard work of many Local Authority staff within the Region and the significant input from various Governmental Departments and Agencies. The role of Forfás in the preparation of the background Regional Strategic Agenda Reports, which formed the basis of the Regional Economic Strategy, were a welcome addition to revised Guidelines. It is also important to recognise the valued contributions from those who participated in the public consultation processes, which assisted greatly in framing and developing an inclusive and meaningful set of Guidelines up to 2022. I would also like to acknowledge the contribution by the former Cathaoirleach, Cllr. Hubert Keaney, to the review process.

    TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014 COMHAIRLE CONTAE LÚ LOUTH COUNTY COUNCIL COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS The Arms of the County, as granted by the Chief Herald to the Council in 1976, are derived as follows:- “Vert a besant charged with a Dexter Hand aversant coupled at the wrist proper” This is the description of the lower part of the shield which is coloured green (vert) and on which is imposed a heraldic expression of the Dextera Dei or Right Hand of God from Muireadach’s Cross at Monasterboice. As on the latter, the armorial design shows the hand against a circular background or nimbus. This section of the Arms represents in particular the rural (or County Health District) part of the County. Chief Sable, two ancient ships, sails set argent The top part of the Arms is black in colour commemorating Muirthemne, the old Irish name of the sea off the County Louth Coast, and which translated into English means the “darkness of the sea”. The ships are inspired by the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Drogheda, which includes a ship anchored at a quayside. Each ship can be taken to represent respectively the Borough of Drogheda and the Urban District of Dundalk, both areas comprised within the administrative County. The ships are also representational of the fact that the County has always been a great centre of trade and commerce. The Crest The Crest incorporates a sword, the symbol of administration, surrounded by ears of barley. This design at once illustrates the nature of the Coat of Arms as a symbol of a civic administration, and the importance of agriculture in the life of the County.

Thank you for your very informative and engaging entry form which was written in a story narrative format that proved easy to relate to but still informed us of all your activities under the relevant categories. The 5 year action plan which came into being in 2016 has been critical to the development of the village over the last three/four years and the adjudicator was able to measure what has been achieved in that period by seeing what was on the ground. Thank you also for the excellent map which was more than useful for the purposes of adjudication. It was the adjudicator’s first visit to the village and he was most impressed with the manner in which you as a committee engage with the local community. The committee of eight is certainly sufficient in numbers to administer the work load of Tidy Towns in the village.
  • Donegal Winter Climbing

    1 A climbers guide to Donegal Winter Climbing By Iain Miller www.uniqueascent.ie 2 Crag Index Muckish Mountain 4 Mac Uchta 8 Errigal 10 Maumlack 13 Poison Glen 15 Slieve Snaght 17 Horseshoe Corrie (Lough Barra) 19 Bluestacks (N) 22 Bluestacks (S) 22 www.uniqueascent.ie 3 Winter Climbing in Donegal. Winter climbing in the County of Donegal in the North West of Ireland is quite simply outstanding, alas it has a very fleeting window of opportunity. Due to it’s coastal position and relatively low lying mountains good winter conditions in Donegal are a rare commodity indeed. Usually temperatures have to be below 0 for 5 days consecutively, and down to -5 at night, and an ill timed dump of snow can spoil it all. To take advantage of these fleeting conditions you have to drop everything, and brave the inevitably appalling road conditions to get there, for be assured, it won’t last! When Donegal does come into prime Winter condition the crux of your days climbing will without a doubt be travelling by road throughout the county. In this guide I have tried to only use National primary and secondary roads as a means to travel and access. There are of course many regional and third class roads which provide much closer access to the mountains but under winter conditions these can very quickly become unpassable. The first recorded winter climbing I am aware of, was done in the Horsehoe Corrie in the early seventies and since then barely a couple of new routes have been logged anywhere in Donegal each decade since that! It was the winter of 2009/2010 that one of the coldest and longest winters in recorded history occurred with over 6 weeks of minus temperatures and snowdrifts of up to 12m in the Donegal uplands.

[email protected] 00353 +873207619 Image: the River Drowes 2 Image: The Drowes River Executive summary The purpose behind this comprehensive Study is to ascertain the potential of the story of the Wild Atlantic Salmon to act as a platform to economically and socially sustain the communities of the greater Lough Melvin region through responsible tourism. The lake and its broader catchment have an ancient relationship with the most iconic of Irish fish; a relationship that of late has seen considerable strain on salmon stocks, challenges to the environment and a dwindling importance in relation to local employment and wealth creation. We now find ourselves at a historical tipping point; posing the question of how best to craft an original rural tourism response that will counteract these threats all in the context of an economically disadvantaged cross border Lakeland region with the growing shadow of Brexit. This Study took six months to research, audit and draft. Over sixty individuals participated in the extensive consultation process. Inputs, many of them ongoing throughout, came from the communities, private sector and tourism trade, recreational users, special interest groups, local authorities, government agencies and NGO's.

    Prohibition of Depleted Uranium Weapons Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages Wednesday, 17 November 2010 SECTION 1 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 1 has been ruled out of order on the grounds that it would expand the scope of the Bill. [825]Amendment No. 1 not moved. Senator Dominic Hannigan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, subsection (2), line 14, after “Minister” to insert “for Foreign Affairs”. The purpose of the amendment is to insert “for Foreign Affairs” after “Minister” because there is no definition of “Minister” in the Bill. Senator Dan Boyle: I thank the Labour Party Senators for proposing this amendment. I believe it is a drafting improvement and I am quite happy to accept it. Amendment agreed to. Question proposed: “That section 1, as amended, stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I seek an explanation, although perhaps it will not be possible to provide one. Did I understand the Cathaoirleach to state amendment No. 1 was ruled out of order because it caused a charge on the Exchequer? An Cathaoirleach: No, it was ruled out of order for expanding the scope of the Bill. Senator David Norris: I see. I thank the Cathaoirleach. Question put and agreed to. SECTION 2 An Cathaoirleach: Amendment No. 3 is ruled out of order as it would expand the scope of the Bill. Amendment No. 3 not moved. Question proposed: “That section 2 stand part of the Bill.” Senator David Norris: I do not mean to be pestiferous but how can a deletion expand the scope of a Bill? Surely it would contract it.

Kildare IRELAND [email protected] [email protected] September 2009 Abstract This paper calculates and maps relative population accessibility indices at a national and regional level for the island of Ireland over the period 1991-2002 and assesses whether the changing nature of the border between the Republic and Northern Ireland as it becomes more porous has impacted on the growth of the Irish border region over that time period. A spatial econometric analysis is the undertaken to assess the economic consequences of increased economic integration between Northern Ireland and the Republic. Neoclassical β-convergence regression analysis is employed, with the population accessibility indices used to capture the changing nature of the Irish border. 1 The authors wish to acknowledge the support of the Irish Social Sciences Platform (ISSP), the International Centre for Cross Border Studies (ICLRD), and the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO). The authors also wish to thank Morton O’Kelly for helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper and Peter Foley for his excellent research assistance. 1 1. Introduction It is well known that many existing national borders have been shaped by the conflicts and post-war negotiations experienced throughout the 20th century and earlier.
