Members welcomed the progress on casual vacancies. In response to a query from Cllr Kennedy in relation to Casual Vacancies, Mr. P Sheering informed Members the emphasis on the Department funding Casual Vacancy works is now moving towards capital i.e the provision of new social housing stock. He submitted that the Council is moving towards carrying out more basic works on vacant properties and if significant works are necessary to seek to lever funding for same and these would be ‘funding application to be completed’ as indicated on the report. In the case of normal turnaround casual vacancies the future funding for these works will likely come from the Council’s revenue budget. In response to a further query from Cllr Kennedy in relation to the availability of contractors, Mr. P Sheerin informed Members that there is a list of pre-qualified contractors for the Housing Section. He advised that these are contractors who have complied with the Council’s requirements for undertaking works on behalf of the Council, including Health & Safety requirements. He also advised that works are allocated to pre-qualified contractors under normal procurement and tendering procedures. He acknowledged the challenges with the limited number of contractors the Council has at its disposal. Cllr Jordan queried if it was envisaged that the Council would be employing more staff with the additional maintenance budget for 2019 or if the works would be carried out by contractors. In response to same, Mr. P Sheerin informed Members that it is not envisaged that there will be additional staff and also noted that when the additional allocation for maintenance in 2019 is divided on the five Municipal Districts and the works on Casual Vacancies along with other works are carried out the additional allocation will be accounted for. He further informed Members that the Council will have to carryout a condition survey on all its housing stock, which will leave the section in a better position to quickly turn around CV’s as better information on the condition of properties will be available.

  • Rock Climbing in Donegal
    Rock Climbing in Donegal by Iain Miller The county of Donegal contains more climbable rock than the rest of Ireland combined boasting two major Irish mountain ranges, over a thousand kilometres of coastline, one hundred sea stacks and many diverse climbing locations from the mudstone roofs at Muckross in the South West of the county to the Granite slabs of Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly point. Donegal currently plays host a lifetimes worth of world class rock climbing in some of the most beautiful and unspoilt places in Ireland. The scope for further exploration and the opportunity to discover unclimbed rock is unlimited, as there is an unexplored adventure waiting through every mountain pass and around every remote headland. http://www.uniqueascent.ie/undiscovered_donegal Glencolmcille Village sits in the centre of a stretch of coast line that provides some of the best sea cliff, sea stack and adventure climbing available in Ireland. On this 60KM stretch of Atlantic freeboard starting at Muckross Head in the south and following this dramatic coastline past Slieve League, Malinbeg, Glencolmcille, Port and continuing around to Maghera Village there are over 500 recorded rock climbs of all grades of difficulty from very easy to the very difficult XS graded climbs. At the end of a scenic wee coast road running south out of Kilcar Village in Muckross Head. This unusual crag is composed of horizontally bedded sandstone interspersed with thin bands of mudstone that have been eroded faster and have produced the characteristic overhangs. The climbing is very steep and strenuous and although the rock is generally very sound, the last metre for so along the top of the crag does require care.
