Louisburgh HQ News nd 22 June 2012 2012- Issue 3 Picture on right: Delphi Valley- Doolough The following article by PETER MURTAGH was in the IRISH TIMES on Tuesday 19th June 2012 Bringing a buzz back to former hive of activity ON THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY: A group of women has created an activity and news hub to help revive the town of Louisburgh. THE INDICATIVE route of the Wild Atlantic Way being developed by Fáilte Ireland has it going straight from Leenane in Co Galway to Westport in Mayo, via the N59, bypassing everything to its west. But there’s reason to believe they’re looking at this particular stretch of the road again – let’s hope so because, if they’re not, visitors will be steered away from one of the most breathtaking mountain passes in the country as well as a small town in Mayo that has much to offer. And a lot more besides. Leaving Leenane, the Dutch bikers and I took a left on to the R335 along the north shore of the Killary, Ireland’s only fjord, and followed the road into the Delphi Gap.The scenery on a bright June evening was breathtaking: the horseshoe-shaped Mweelrea Mountain towered to our left (and the Delphi Adventure Centre tucked into it makes full use of what it and the Killary have to offer), past Delphi Lodge (wild smoked salmon for sale) and on to Doolough. I have driven through this pass in monsoon conditions and seen the sides of the valley turn white from the sheer volume of water cascading into the lake. Not yesterday, thankfully. The road rises out of the valley and across a bog before, at Cregganbaun, offering stunning views out to Clare Island and Inishturk. The countryside looks both remote and wild but also welcoming. Foxgloves peek from road sides and there are lush buttercup meadows awaiting the silage cutters. In Louisburgh, a highly motivated group of dynamic, professional women have had enough of gloom and doom and have decided to do something about it. Inside Duffy’s on Chapel Street – closed, empty and lifeless for the past decade – they are making a home for Louisburgh HQ, which seven of them set up after they decided to, as they put it, “do something about austerity”. Catherine Duffy grew up in the shop and former family home, along with six siblings and her parents. “We were the Amazon dotcom of our day, you could say,” says Duffy. “People on Inishturk would send in their orders – groceries, oil, animal feed – and we’d send the goods out to them.” Once they have cleaned the place up (and fixed the water leak), Duffy’s will become the centre of their operations. They are going to produce a weekly newsletter telling people what is going on in the community and provide space for a range of activities, such as drama, arts and crafts. There will be a therapy room/clinic. Downstairs, the old shop will be brought back to life as a pop-up store to aid local enterprise. “We are offering the premises to people who want to showcase their products for the summer,” says another of the group, Maggie O’Conor. Across the road, a landmark corner premises at the town’s crossroads, that was semi-derelict for decades, is also being brought back to life. It will become a drop-in centre for the community and visitors alike. Local people will be able to access advice – legal, marketing, promotional and other business development help. Visitors will be offered information about the area’s many attractions – fine sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, places for walking, the dramatic scenery, local curiosities like standing stones, megalithic graves and the Clapper Bridge. They will also get information on where to eat and stay and what’s on each week. There will be maps and photos of the area. “The centre will operate as a hub from which visitors can access the local community, all the services and events that are happening,” says Bríd Conroy. “We will be marketing all the businesses in the area [there are 100 small businesses between Louisburgh, Lecanvey and Killeen] and we will be there to give advice to anyone wanting to start up or expand.“The centre will also have bike hire and generally operate as a booking service for local tours and events.” It was not long ago that Louisburgh was a little hive of businesses and services. Some 300 people lived in the town 30 to 40 years ago and there were 57 businesses then, says Bríd. Today just 37 people live there and businesses and services have shrivelled.

    West Coast, Ireland (Slyne Head to Erris Head) GPS Coordinates of location: Latitude: From 53° 23’ 58.02”N to 54° 18’ 26.96”N Longitude: From 010° 13” 59.87”W to 009° 59’ 51.98”W Degrees Minutes Seconds (e.g. 35 08 34.231212) as used by all emergency marine services Description of geographic area covered: The region covered is the wild and remote west coast of Ireland, from Slyne Head north of Galway to Erris Head south of Sligo. It includes Killary Harbour, Clew Bay, Black Sod Bay, Belmullet, and the islands of Inishbofin, Inishturk, Clare, Achill, and the Inishkeas. It is an area of incomparable charm and natural beauty where mountains come down to the sea unspoilt by development. It is also an area without marinas, or easy access to marine services. Self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary, along with careful navigation around a rocky lee coastline in prevailing westerlies. A vigilant watch for approach of frequent Atlantic gales must be kept. Inishbofin is reported to be the most common stopover of visiting foreign-flagged yachts in Ireland, of which there are very few on the West coast. Best time to visit is May-September. 1 24 May 2015 Port officer’s name: Services available in area covered: Daria & Alex Blackwell • There are no marinas in the west of Ireland between Galway and Killybegs in Donegal, so services remain difficult to access. Haul out facilities are now available in Kilrush on the Shannon River and elsewhere by special arrangement with crane operators. • Visitor Moorings (Yellow buoy, 15 tons): Achill / Kildavnet Pier, Achill Bridge, Blacksod, Clare Island, Inishturk, Rosmoney (Clew Bay), Leenane.

  • Top 55" Deposits in Ireland"
    EXPLORATION AND MINING DIVISION IRELAND ZINC • LEAD • COPPER • GOLD • SILVER • BARYTES • GYPSUM • COAL • DOLOMITE • TALC THE “TOP 555”5” DEPOSITS Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources The Mining Heritage Ireland is richly endowed with a diversity of mineral deposits, with a mining heritage extending for over 4,000 years. Although much of the information is shrouded in time, enough remains to show that the country was firmly established as a significant metal producer at several distinct stages in history. During the Final Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (c.2400-1500 B.C.) Irish mines were an important source of copper, while alluvial gold may have been used for some of the abundant gold ornaments of this period. The 16th and 17th centuries were a time of extensive iron production, while the 19th century saw continuous copper, lead and silver output for over 70 years, as well as a “gold rush” around the start of the century. And finally, the period since the 1960s have seen Ireland enjoy the status of a world-ranked producer of zinc, lead and barite, and become one of the most promising exploration territories in Europe. Historical Record The first evidence of mineral deposits as an important resource in Ireland after the Stone Age is to be found in Bronze Age times (c.2300-500 B.C.) or a little earlier. Recent research has established that primitive copper mines were worked in SW Ireland in the period c.2400-1500 B.C., with the bulk of those dated during the period c.1700-1500 B.C.
