N56 Mountcharles to Inver Road Scheme Public Art Project N56 Mountcharles to Inver Road Scheme Public Art Project Permanent Artwork with Engagement Stage 1: Briefing Document & Application Deadline: 4pm on Monday, June 14, 2021. 1. Introduction This public art commission is funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) as part of the N56 Mountcharles to Inver Road Scheme, which has recently reached substantial completion. The scheme is part of TIIs capital expenditure programme which is focussed on improving the safety and efficiency of the national road network. The scheme entailed the construction of approximately 5 km of Type 1 Single Carriageway, comprising part online reconstruction of existing carriageway and part off-line re-alignment of the N56 national secondary road between Mountcharles and Inver. The scheme has achieved a significant improvement on the pre-scheme arrangement along this legacy section of the N56 which was characterised by substandard features including a narrow cross-section with no hardstrips or verges, poor vertical and horizontal alignments and frequent access points. The completed scheme has improved safety and enhances the accessibility of south west Donegal in particular between Donegal Town and Killybegs, Ireland’s largest fishing port. The scheme which is part of Fáilte Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, is also a strategic tourism route providing access to a number of key locations in west Donegal including the Sliabh Liag Cliffs (with c.200,000 visitors per annum) and the Gleann Cholm Cille / Malin Beg Peninsula as well as Ardara, Glenties and Gweebarra. 2. Commission / Nature of the Work Although the theme of the artwork is not defined the commissioners have suggested that artists explore the following themes which may inform the artwork: The Scheme’s Strategic Importance; This road scheme is strategically important as a gateway on the Wild Atlantic Way corridor between Donegal Town and the Port of Killybegs, as well as important tourist / visitor destinations such as the Sliabh Liag Cliffs and the Gleann Cholm Cille / Malin Beg Peninsula. The rich history and heritage of Mountcharles and Inver and the surrounding areas, for example; The area has a particularly strong connection with natural stone and stone masonry and has a rich history in the supply of stone for building locally, nationally and internationally. The strong industrial, social and economic history and heritage of the area as evidenced through local buildings and sites including the former Inver Creamery Building (Reg No. 40909229) which was demolished to make way for the scheme, as well as the adjoining millrace which runs to the Former Corn Mill (Reg No. 40909201). The Inver Creamery Building was built in 1903 using local sandstone. The creamery was partially rebuilt c. 1921/1922 after it was damaged by British forces during the War of Independence. The creamery was sited adjacent to the upper section of the millrace which fed the Former Corn Mill located 250m to the west. The Corn Mill was built or extended c. 1860 and possibly containing the fabric of an earlier mill built c. 1810. These sites are evidence of the past industrial processes and represent an integral element of the industrial, social and economic history and heritage of the area. For further information artists should visit www.buildingsofireland.ie. The brief asks the artist/s to note the following: The artwork should be sculptural and permanent in nature. The constituent materials of the artwork will need to be of a robust nature and capable of withstanding the prevalent weather conditions which characterise the site’s exposed location. It should be relatively maintenance free. The commissioners would like for there to be some engagement with key stakeholders during the process, for example community groups, local schools and businesses in close proximity to the proposed art piece. The commissioners would like to consider suggestions from the artist on what form this engagement will take, but examples might include; o an artist talk or presentation; o a remote studio visit/tour; o a workshop which may or may not have an input into the creative process; o stakeholders attending or being involved in the official opening ceremony; or o another suitable suggestion from the artist. A commitment to Health and Safety policy is essential. The following information is appended to the end of this Stage 1 Brief to assist the artist: 1. Application Form 2. Site Location Map 3. Proposed Location for the Artwork 4. Further Information Relating to the N56 Road Scheme 3. Site Location The N56 Mountcharles to Inver Road Scheme is located 10 km west of Donegal Town, a site location map is attached (drawing ref. 0010-DS-101-001).

This site is identified on the attached ‘Proposed Location for Artwork’ map (drawing ref. 0010-DS-101-002). Some photos of the proposed site are also included. Should the artist so wish, the commissioners will consider an alternative location for the artwork, however it must satisfy a number of conditions particularly in the context of road safety. 4.

  • Civil Registrations of Deaths in Ireland, 1864Ff — Elderly Rose
    Civil Registrations of Deaths in Ireland, 1864ff — Elderly Rose individuals in County Donegal, listed in birth order; Compared to Entries in Griffith's Valuation for the civil parish of Inver, county Donegal, 1857. By Alison Kilpatrick (Ontario, Canada) ©2020. Objective: To scan the Irish civil records for deaths of individuals, surname: Rose, whose names appear to have been recorded in Griffith's Valuation of the parish of Inver, county Donegal; and to consult other records in order to attempt reconstruction of marital and filial relationships on the off chance that descendants can make reliable connections to an individual named in Griffith's Valuation. These other records include the civil registrations of births and marriages, the Irish census records, historical Irish newspapers, and finding aids provided by genealogical data firms. Scope: (1) Griffith's Valuation for the parish of Inver, county Donegal, 1857. (2) The civil records of death from 1864 forward for the Supervisor's Registration District (SRD) of Donegal were the primary focus. Other SRDs within and adjacent to the county were also searched, i.e., Ballyshannon, Donegal, Dunfanaghy, Glenties, Inishowen, Letterkenny, Londonderry, Millford, Strabane, and Stranorlar. Limitations of this survey: (i) First and foremost, this survey is not a comprehensive one-name study of the Rose families of county Donegal. The purpose of this survey was to attempt to answer one specific question, for which:—see "Objective" above. (ii) The primary constraints on interpreting results of this survey are the absence of church and civil records until the 1860s, and the lack of continuity between the existing records.

COUNTYDUBLIN, I was born in Glenelly, Co. Tyrone, on 26th September, 1900 and after leaving school I went to Hughes' Academy in Derry City. I lived at 17 Foyle St. in the private apartments of the group of buildings known as Conlan's Rooms My uncle administered this property. The Irish Volunteers used these buildings as Assembly Rooms. My "keeper" was Miss Conlan and Miss Reddy - both of these ladies were elderly spinsters. I think I actually became a member of the National Volunteers about the middle of 1914. I was intended for the Church, and while getting a grind from Ft. Jos. Lagan, C.C., Cranagh, preparatory to entering St. Columb's College - a brother of Dr. Lagan, the donor of the Lagan Cup to the Gaelic Athletic Association - I persuaded him to take me into a juvenile section of the local Company that he directed. This was probably the Fianna. When the Rising occurred in Dublin during Easter Week 1916, there was some activity in Derry. A number of the leading Volunteers were arrested and subsequently interned.

  • Burren Signage Plan
    Burren Signage Plan A report commissioned by Burren Connect, a project funded by Fáilte Ireland, in partnership with Clare County Council, Shannon Development, National Parks & Wildlife Service, National Monuments Service and Burren Beo.. BURREN SIGNAGE PLAN Executive Summary The Burren Signage Plan is a component of the Burren Connect Project, a multi- agency tourism development project for the Burren. Field surveys and a public consultation programme were carried out during May and June of 2007. The signage plan is based on a set of fourteen principles that emerged from consultation, assessments of the Burren landscape and a review of practice elsewhere. The plan recommends that signage in the Burren countryside is kept to a minimum in recognition of the exceptional quality of the landscape. It recommends that primary reliance for navigation is placed on the standard directional road signs, which are in the process of being upgraded on all the national and regional roads in North Clare. The plan considers that there is a place for visitor signage in the Burren, but that signage and visitor information in general should, as far as possible, be concentrated in and near existing villages, at major junctions and at the larger established visitor sites. The plan recommends caution in deploying signage for new recreation initiatives such as looped walks and cycle routes in the remoter areas of the Burren. The Burren does not lend itself to precise geographical definition but a signage plan has to enable drivers and other visitors to be able to answer the question ‘Are we there yet?’ The plan recommends adopting the settlements that ring the area as boundary markers.
