Arts Plan 2005/07 Layout Louth Local Authorities' Arts Plan 1 2006 - 2008 LOUTH LOCAL AUTHORITIES Arts Plan 2006-2008 Index Page No. Foreword 3 Message from County Manager 4 Setting the Context 5 The Arts in Louth 9 The Local Authority Arts Service in Louth 11 Methodology 21 2 Core Principles 23 The Plan 25 Appendices 39 Foreword Louth can rightly be proud of its musicians, writers, filmmakers, visual artists, architects, actors and dancers. From the Boyne to the Cooleys, creativity in all its forms is flourishing. What we must do is to support those making art, and assist individuals who wish to participate, both as makers and as audiences. Drogheda Borough Council, Dundalk Town Council, and Louth County Council have adopted this Plan as the chief means by which the arts will be progressed up to 2008. The Plan has been informed by lengthy consultation, healthy debate, review at Strategic Policy Committee level, and finally by adoption by all three Councils. We are delighted to reaffirm local authority support for the arts, which do so much to improve the quality of life, and we look forward to maintaining the strong levels of cooperation between the local authorities and corporate partners which have been so obvious in the development of the Plan. 3 Cllr. Tommy Murphy, Cllr. Martin Bellew, Cllr. Peter Savage, Mayor of Drogheda, Chairman, Chairman, Drogheda Borough Council Dundalk Town Council Louth County Council LOUTH LOCAL AUTHORITIES Arts Plan 2006-2008 Message from County Manager Louth Local Authorities have come together to produce this Plan which will inform and direct our support for the development of the arts in Louth for the next number of years. Louth has seen unparalleled growth in infrastructure throughout the county in recent years, with significant improvements to our roads, sanitation and housing resources. It is important that we should consider the development of access to the arts in the same way, and plan accordingly. While Louth Local Authorities have been progressive in their support for the arts over the years, the development of this, the first Arts Plan for Louth, allows us to harness our resources and coordinate our thinking and our activities. This Plan is based on the understanding that by strengthening the means of providing access to the arts, individuals, communities and society as a whole will benefit. The Plan rightly assigns importance to the artist, as the person who reflects and inspires, and who must be supported and celebrated, but also emphasises the importance of increasing participation by all in arts activities. 4 I am delighted that the in-depth consultation process has provided us with a blueprint for the future, and I look forward to cooperation between Louth Local Authorities and our local and national partners in its implementation, and through its actions, to significantly increase participation in the arts in County Louth. Martina Moloney, County Manager LOUTH LOCAL AUTHORITIES Arts Plan 8 0 0 2 - 6 0 0 2 Setting the Context section 1 1 LOUTH LOCAL AUTHORITIES Arts Plan 2006-2008 Setting the Context The legislative underpinning of the Louth Arts Plan is provided by the Arts Act 2003. This Act repeals the Arts Act 1951 and the Arts Act 1973, and sets out the following in relation to local authorities and the arts. "Part 2.6. (1) A local authority shall, for the purposes of section 67 of the Local Government Act 2001, prepare and implement plans for the development of the arts within its functional area and shall, in so doing, take account of policies of the Government in relation to the arts. (2) A local authority may provide such financial or other assistance as it considers appropriate to such persons or in respect of such activities, projects or undertakings, for the purposes of - (a) stimulating public interest in the arts 6 (b) promoting knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts, or (c) improving standards in the arts, within its functional area." The Louth County Development Board Strategy has, as one of its aims, the creation of a countywide arts plan, and it is envisaged that the Louth Arts Plan will also form part of the Louth Local Authorities' Corporate Plan. County Louth is the smallest county in Ireland, with an area of 821 square kilometres. According to the figures from the Central Statistics Office, 2002, Louth has a population of 101,821, the 13th largest in the Republic. The majority of the inhabitants are urban dwellers, with the three largest towns being Drogheda (28,333), Dundalk (27,385), and Ardee (3,564). Louth has one of the highest population densities in Ireland. The landscape of County Louth represents part of the rich glacial drift-covered midlands, which extends north as far as Dundalk. North of the town are the mountains of the Cooley peninsula. The county borders three Ulster counties, Armagh, Down and Monaghan and these Ulster borderlands are marked by extensive drumlin landscapes of small hills. Meath borders the southern half of the county, where the rich agricultural landscape is marked by an impressive legacy of rural buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Drogheda is situated on the narrowest tidal point on the River Boyne, and it remains a busy port. The town is based on an Anglo- Norman foundation, when a twelfth century motte was built on the south side of the river at Millmount, protecting the Norman bridge. Drogheda was one of the largest and Middle Ages. The introduction of the linen trade by the Earl of most important medieval walled towns, enclosing 46 hectares.

In recent years, these thriving non- professional organisations have been joined by a number of professional theatre companies, most notably, Calipo and Upstate, both currently based in Drogheda. Similarly, there has been a rise in the number of visual artists and musicians who derive most, if not all, of their income through their professional practice. Music making, in all its forms, has been historically strong in Louth. Classical music has been well served through the commitment and excellence of teachers, both within and outside the formal education system. The success of the Cross-Border Orchestra reflects the undoubted talent of the young players, but also the vision and determination of the leadership, north and south, of this unique and well-travelled ensemble. Traditional music in Louth continues to produce virtuosos, dedicated teachers, and players who keep the tradition alive. Gerry O'Connor, Donal O'Connor, Sean Corcoran, Brendan Larrisey, and the Táin Céilí Band, among others, have a national profile. Indeed, several generations of the O'Connor family from Dundalk have researched, played, and recorded music and song native to north Louth, thus preserving a valuable 10 part of our musical heritage.

    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.

    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.

  • Green Party Convention 13-14 July
    LEADING THE CHANGE 2019 BLACKHALL PLACE GREEN PARTY12 - 15 JULYCONVENTION 13-142019 JULY WELCOME TO STONEYBATTER! FÁILTE GO BÓTHAR NA GCLOCH! Welcome to Dublin Central! It is 1,200 years since the Vikings first stepped ashore from their longboats onto the muddy northern shores of the River Liffey; just down the road from where we’re holding our Convention. Dublin 7 has long been known for cattle-dealing and glass- making, and in recent years has become a creative hub with cultural and food businesses attracted to the area. You’ll be able to savour hand-made ice-cream from Christiano in Sorrento’s chipper, or a flat white from Love Supreme. The Lilliput Press is just around the corner off Arbour Place, and Bí Urban is an amazing studio for social creativity on Manor Street. The National Museum at Collins Barracks is nearby, as are the graves of the 1916 leaders. In 1997 I ran in the General Election here before being elected in 2002 in Dún Laoghaire. Cllr. Neasa Hourigan now represents Cabra and Glasnevin just up the road, and is our candidate for the next General Election. Cllr. Michael Pidgeon’s ward is a stone’s throw away across the river. As a councillor here for the last five years I have focussed on making the city easier to get around, tackling disadvantage, and the housing crisis. Recently the City Council has upgraded older persons’ housing at St. Bricin’s off Arbour Hill to a Passive House standard. Plans for the Liffey Cycle route are in the pipeline, as are proposals to regenerate the nearby Fruit and Vegetable Markets.
