The process leading to this plan was led by a group of local volunteers who worked closely with a facilitator whose role was to guide and inform the planning process. The actions proposed in this plan have been informed by the needs, interests and concerns of those living in the area. Members of the planning group invested a great deal of personal commitment in attending meetings, taking on tasks, and reflecting on the needs brought forward by their community. The planning group was made up of members from following groups: • Tuamgraney Development • Tuamgraney Handball Club Association • Bodyke/Tuamgraney GAA Club • Bodyke/Tuamgraney Pastoral • Bodyke/Tuamgraney Camogie Club Council • Raheen Hospital Support Group • Tuamgraney Community Weekend • St. Cronan’s Church Committee • Tuamgraney NS Parents Council • Blossom Harp Festival The impact of volunteers across the broad spectrum of activities to be found in the community is enormous, and a great deal of gratitude is owed to them. Sincere appreciation is due to those who committed to this planning process. Tuamgraney Tuamgraney is a village in east County Clare. It is a rural community with all the aspects of a traditional rural village, while located in very close proximity to the market town of Scariff. Scariff/Tuamgraney are identified as a Service Town in the Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023. Ennis, Clare’s County Town, is 34km from Tuamgraney, a drive of just over half an hour. Tuamgraney is an attractive village with much to offer to residents and visitors. For visitors, there is the historic St. Cronan’s Church, many outdoor activities ranging from walks, horse riding and angling. There are also several businesses providing visitor experiences and products. The potential for expanding visitor numbers has been fully investigated in a recent Community, Tourism and Cultural Development Study. The community is clear on the best things about living in Tuamgraney as evidenced by residents’ views gathered from the community survey that forms the basis of this plan. Best things about life in Tuamgraney: • Community spirit • Cleanliness/upkeep • Small businesses • Peaceful/rural/safe • Woods/Quay/Lake • History/Culture/Heritage • The Green • Location - towns/airport The task of this process was to allow residents to acknowledge the strengths of the community and to identify aspects which could be improved upon. 2 Community Profile Tuamgraney is situated in the Electoral Divisions of Scariff and Caherhurley. Collating census data for Tuamgraney is complicated by the fact that the community resides in at least two Caherhurley ED Electoral Divisions. The data that follows has been gathered from the three Small Areas1 most closely covering the Tuamgraney community. These Small Area ID numbers are 37017001 (1), 37142001 (2) and 37142002 (3). Population Total Population 2016 257 260 199 195 175 130 65 0 1 2 3 • Total population of the three Small Areas is 631. 1 Small Areas are areas of population generally comprising between 80 and 120 dwellings created by The National Institute of Regional and Spatial Analysis (NIRSA) on behalf of the Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) in consultation with CSO. Small Areas were designed as the lowest level of geography for the compilation of statistics in line with data protection and generally comprise either complete or part of townlands or neighborhoods. 3 % Pop Change (2006-16) 0 -0.03 -0.05 -0.08 -0.1 1 2 3 • There was a very small decrease in population in each of the three Small Areas between 2006 and 2016. As Small Area 2 contains the highest population of the three Small Areas, it has been taken as the sample area for several population statistics.

Orientation was provided on how to conduct an evidence-informed planning process while materials and information were also provided to the planning group to support the process. 2) An Information Gathering Phase: The planning group implemented a broad-based consultation process during Phase 2. A survey was developed (see Appendix 1) to enable residents to identify strengths, needs, interests and concerns from their experiences of living in Tuamgraney, and to identify priority projects that they’d like addressed in the emerging community plan. A total of 100 individuals from across the life cycle responded to the survey as outlined below: Age of Respondents 50 46 38 25 15 16 10 13 6 1 1 0 Under 18 18-35 36-45 46-55 56-65 66 - 75 76+ The high number of respondents under the age of 18 reflects the kind support of the National School in encouraging pupils to respond. The low number of respondents in the 18-35 is, in part, explained by the low population numbers in this cohort. The gender breakdown of respondents was 62% female and 38% male 3) Analysis of Information and Action Planning Phase: Phase 3 required the planning group to examine the information gathered through the community consultation, identify priority needs and select priority actions based on both need and the ability of the community to implement the actions. 4) Writing Phase: Phase 4 involved the preparation, agreement and finalisation of this document as the core output of the planning process. 8 Survey Results & Prioritised Actions There were a very large number of suggestions in the returned surveys. The full list can be found in appendix 2, the actions prioritised for this plan are as follows: Prioritised Action Lead Group Location Timefram e Children’s play equipment TDA & Parents’ The Park 2 years 1 Council (subject to consultation) Form a representative group to All the main Explore all 1

  • Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B
    Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough.
