Teachtaireacht ó Chathaoirleach Fhóram Oidhreachta Chontae Ros ComáinMar Chathaoirleach ar Fhóram Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin, is mór mo shásamh fáilte a chur roimh chéad PhleanOidhreachta Ros Comáin, ar ócáid a fhoilsithe. Is é atá sa Phlean, toradh míonna oibre ag mórán daoine, grúpaí aguseagraíochtaí ar comhaltaí d’Fhóram Oidhreachta Ros Comáin iad, nó a bhí rannpháirteach sa phróiseas ullmhúcháin aguscomhairliúcháin phoiblí as ar eascair an Plean.

D’eascair na cuspóirí agus na gníomhaíochtaí sa Phlean seo as moltaí a tháinig chun cinn i gcomhairliúchándíograiseach poiblí ar ghlac líon mór daoine ar fud an chontae páirt ann, as díospóireachtaí an Fhóraim Oidhreachta agus nanGrúpaí Oibre um Oidhreacht Thógtha, Nádúrtha agus Chúltúrtha a d’fheidhmigh mar fhóram díospóireachta agus an Pleaná ullmhú. Cuirfear an Plean Oidhreachta i bhfeidhm i gcomhar leis an bhFóram Oidhreachta agus le páirtithe molta, mar aonle daoine agus grúpaí a bhfuil a gcuid eolais agus spéise um oidhreacht an chontae fíorluachmhar.

Is mian liom mo bhuíochas a chur in iúl do chomhaltaí uile Fhóram Oidhreachta Ros Comáin agus do na daoine aghlac páirt sna Grúpaí Oibre agus sa Chomhairliúchán Poiblí, as ucht a gcuid spéise i bPlean Oidhreachta Chontae RosComáin. Táim ag dúil le hobair a dhéanamh i gcomhar libh chun an plean seo a chur i bhfeidhm.

Tom Crosby, ComhairleoirTeachtaireacht ón MéaraMar Mhéara ar Chomhairle Contae Ros Comáin, is mór an chúis áthais dom fáilte a chur roimh Phlean Oidhreachta ChontaeRos Comáin, an chéad cheann dá shaghas i gcomhair an chontae. Is léiriú é ar thús ré spreagtha do Chomhairle Contae RosComáin, le bunú Fhóram Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin chun comhairle a sholáthar, maidir le ullmhú agus le cur ibhfeidhm an Phlean Oidhreachta seo.

Oidhreacht mhór, luachmhar atá ag Contae Ros Comáin, idir thógtha, nádurtha agus chulturtha. Tháinig cuidmhór den oidhreacht sin anuas slán sábháilte chugainne. Bíonn líon mór daoine dilse agus grúpaí ag obair go dian ar fud anchontae, ag caomhnú na hoidhreacht sin agus ag tabhairt aire di. Oibreoidh Plean Oidhreachta an Chontae i gcomhar leis nadaoine agus na grúpaí sin, chun na gníomhaíochtaí a leagtar síos sa Phlean seo a chur i bhfeidhm, ar gníomhaíochtaí iad atháinig chun solais mar thoradh ar an gcomhairliúchán poiblí a cuireadh i gcrích i 2003.

Oidhreacht uathúil atá againn, nárbh fhéidir í a thabhairt thar n-ais i gcás a caillte. Tá súil agam go mbeidh cur ibhfeidhm an Phlean Oidhreachta ina chabhair chun cur le mórtas agus feasacht, maidir le gach gné den oidhreacht agus goligfidh sé do Chontae Ros Comáin leanúint dá fhás agus dá fhorbairt i modh inbhuanaithe, ag coinneáil a nasc leis an am atáthart, as ar fáisceadh sinne, lucht an lae inniu. Guím gach rath ar Phlean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin, agus táim ag dúil go mór lena chur i bhfeidhm.

John Connor, MéaraTeachtaireacht ó Bhainisteoir an ChontaeUllmhaíodh Plean Oidhreachta 2004-2008 Ros Comáin mar aitheantas ar oidhreacht shaibhir, iltréitheach Chontae RosComáin, agus ar a thábhachtai is atá an oidhreacht, chun braistint ar an rud is féiniúlacht áitiúil ann a choinneáil ar siúl igcontae le linn an tsíorfháis agus na síorfhorbartha.

Aithnítear stór oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin a bheith ar an gceann is leithne agus corraithí sa tír. Aithnítear,chomh maith, a thábhachtaí is atá, maidir le branda uathúil turasóireachta a fhorbairt do Chontae Ros Comáin, rud achuireann béim ar leith ar a riachtanaí is atá rialú agus cothú cúramach.

Is é seo an chéad Phlean Oidhreachta i gcomhair an chontae. Leagtar síos ann na cuspóirí agus na gníomhaíochtaíatá le cur i gcrích i gcomhair ár n-oidhreachta sna cúig bhliain seo romhainn. Ullmhaíodh an Plean i gcomhar le FóramOidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin, a bhfuil a chuid comhaltaí ionadaíoch ar gach gné spéise oidhreachta sa chontae, agus is igcomhar leis an bhFóram a chuirfear i bhfeidhm é. Baineann foilsiú agus cur i bhfeidhm an Phlean seo, mar ghníomhaíochtaí,le Comhfhís Ros Comáin, atá ina straitéis 10 bliain, maidir le forbairt Gheilleagrach, Shóisialta agus Chultúrtha an chontae aréitigh Bord Forbartha Chontae Ros Comáin, agá bhfuil fís de Ros Comáin mar chontae bheoga le cúinsí maireachtana níosfearr.

Is mian liom mo bhuíochas a chur in iúl do Chomhairle Contae Ros Comáin, d’Fhóram Oidhreachta Chontae RosComáin, don Oifigeach Oidhreachta agus don líon mór daoine agus grúpaí a chuir a gcuid ama agus a gcuid fuinnimhisteach mar rannpháirtíocht i bpróiseas ullmhaithe Phlean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin.

County Roscommon HERITAGE PLAN


Is é is aidhm do Phlean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin, tuiscint, feasacht agus meas ar oidhreacht nádúrtha,thógtha agus chultúrtha Chontae Ros Comáin a thógáil agus a chur chun cinn, agus í a chaomhnú do na glúnta atáfós le teacht.

Déantar oidhreacht a shainmhíniú san Acht Oidhreachta, 1995 mar ní a chuimsíonn séadchomhartha, réadaseandálaíochta, réada oidhreachta, oidhreacht ailtireachta, fásra agus ainmhithe, gnáthóga fiadhúlra,tírdhreacha, muirdhreacha, longa briste, geolaíocht, bealaí uisce intíre, chomh maith le gáirdíní aguspáirceanna oidhreachta. Ina theannta sin, is gnéithe tábhachtacha d’oidhreacht an chontae, dar le FóramOidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin an béaloideas, an oidhreacht thionsclaíoch agus an stair áitiúil.

Cuimsíonn teorainneacha Chontae Ros Comáin éagsúlachtaí móra, mar shampla, Sléibhte Airgnigh gona n-oidhreacht gheolaíoch agus traidisiúin mhianadóireachta; na haibhnte Suca agus Sionainn gona stairloingseoireachta agus a dtailte calaidh lán fiadhúlra; locha mar Loch Gara gona shaibhreas seandálaíoch;traidisiúin agus áitrithe na hÉireann Ceiltí, ar nós na láithreáin seandálaíochta Chruachna gona dtraidisiúinRíoga; na hardphortaigh ghníomhacha, atá chomh gann sin san Eoraip; saibhreas na hailtireachta ar fud anchontae, idir thithe móra agus thithe ceann tuí; na féaraigh gona fallaí cloch tirimeacha agus fálta, atá marbhonn le geilleagar talmhaíochta an chontae.

Is iad na gnéithe éagsúla aiceanta sin a thug ann do thírdhreach an chontae. Is iad is foinse do stair, dobhéaloideas agus do nósanna na háite agus a thugann féiniúlacht, tréithiúlacht agus sainiúlacht do gach áit. Isscátháin de ghníomhaíochtaí mhuintir Ros Comáin riamh anall iad. Caitear le gnéithe áirithe d’oidhreacht anchontae ar bhonn réigiúnda, náisiúnta agus, go fiú, le tábhacht idirnáisiúnta, agus déantar a gcosaint faoin dlí.Tá gnéithe áirithe eile ann, áfach, gur féidir neamhairt nó neamhshuim a dhéanamh dóibh, agus iad ag brathar fheasacht agus ar mhórtas a bheith méadaithe. Cuireann gach gné den oidhreacht le saol mhuintir anchontae; cuireann an oidhreacht le geilleagar an chontae, chomh maith, trí thionscal na turasóireachta, ach goháirithe.

Tugann gach ré a hathruithe féin léi, agus fágann gach glún a rian. Is é ár ndúshlán san 21ú haois, an t-athrú abhainistiú ar bhealach inbhuanaithe, chun go ndéanfar freastal i gcothromas ar an dá riachtanas, mar atá, ar anngá atá le hathruithe fónta agus ar an ngá atá le caomhnú réasúnta.

Aithníonn an Rialtas tábhacht na hoidhreachta sa Phlean Náisiúnta Oidhreachta agus sa Phlean NáisiúntaBithéagsúlachta, faoi seach. Is cuid thábhachtach de na Pleananna sin an ghairm chun pleananna áitiúla aullmhú. Ba sa chomhthéacs sin a hullmhaíodh Plean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin.

Ba iad an dream a d’ullmhaigh Plean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin ná Fóram Oidhreachta Chontae RosComáin, grúpa comhairleach a chuir Comhairle Chontae Ros Comáin ar bun chun comhairle a sholáthar,maidir le Plean Oidhreachta an Chontae a ullmhú agus a chur i bhfeidhm. Ionadaithe a bhaineann le rialtasáitiúil, le forbairt áitiúil, le gníomhaireachtaí stáit, le húinéirí talún, le hearnáil an phobail, leis an earnáildeonach agus le grúpai oidhreachta is ea comhaltai an Fhóraim Oidhreachta. Seo an chéad uair do nadreamanna spéise sin ar fad teacht le chéile ar an gcaoi seo, chun plean gnímh a fhorbairt, maidir lehoidhreacht sa chontae.

Introduction

5

The aim of the County Roscommon Heritage Plan is to create and promote an increased knowledge, awareness and

appreciation of the natural, built and cultural heritage of County Roscommon, and to conserve it for future

generations.

The Heritage Act, 1995 defines heritage as including monuments, archaeological objects, heritage objects,

architectural heritage, flora, fauna, wildlife habitats, landscapes, seascapes, wrecks, geology, inland waterways

and heritage gardens and parks. The County Roscommon Heritage Forum also considers that folklore; industrial

heritage and local history are important aspects of the county’s heritage.

County Roscommon has great diversity within its boundaries, for example, the Arigna Mountains, with their

geological heritage and mining traditions; the rivers Suck and Shannon, with their navigational history and

associated callows rich in wildlife; lakes, such as Lough Gara, rich in archaeology; traditions and settlements of

Celtic Ireland, such as the archaeological sites at Rathcroghan with their associated Royal traditions; the active

raised bogs, so rare in Europe; the wealth of architecture found around the county, from great mansions to

thatched houses; and the grasslands, with their associated dry stone walls and hedgerows, which form the

basis of the agricultural economy of the county.

These diverse features form the landscape of the county. They are the source of local history, folklore and

traditions, giving each place its identity, character and distinctiveness. They reflect the activities of the people of

Roscommon down through history. Some aspects of the county’s heritage are considered regionally, nationally

or even internationally important and are protected by legislation. Other aspects may be overlooked or under

appreciated, dependant on increased awareness and pride. All aspects of heritage contribute to the quality of

life of the people of the county; heritage also contributes to the economy of the county, particularly through

the tourist industry.

However each era brings changes and each generation leaves its mark. The challenge facing us in the 21st

Century is to manage change in a sustainable manner so as to balance the need for legitimate change with the

need for reasonable conservation.

The importance of heritage has been recognised by the Government with the publication in 2002 of the

National Heritage Plan and the National Biodiversity Plan. A key element of those Plans is a call for the

preparation of local plans. It is in this context that the County Roscommon Heritage Plan has been prepared.

The County Roscommon Heritage Plan has been prepared by the County Roscommon Heritage Forum, an

advisory group established by Roscommon County Council to provide advice on the preparation and

implementation of the County Heritage Plan. The Heritage Forum is composed of representatives from local

government, local development, state agencies, landowner representatives, community and voluntary sector

and heritage groups. This is the first time that all these different interests have come together in this way to

develop an action plan for heritage in the county.



Tugtar aird i bPlean Oidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin ar cháipéis straitéise Bhord Forbartha an Chontae,‘Comhfhís Ros Comáin’, ina leagtar síos gníomhaíochtaí a bhaineann le forbairt gheilleagrach, shóisialta aguschultúrtha an chontae.

Agus an Plean seo le linn a ullmhaithe, leanadh de na treoirlínte atá leagtha síos ag an gComhairleOidhreachta, maidir le hullmhú Pleananna áitiúla Oidhreachta, agus bhí comhairliúchán fairsing poiblí ina chuidde sin. Ba sa phróiseas sin a leagadh méar ar eolas ar na gníomhaíochtaí atá le baint amach faoi PhleanOidhreachta an Chontae. Déantar iad sin a rangú ina gcuspóirí leathana, mar seo a leanas:

• Cuspóir 1: Cur le tuiscint an phobail i leith ár n-oidhreachtaCabhrú le feasacht, tuiscint agus taitneamh ar oidhreacht Ros Comáin a mhéadú.

• Cuspóir 2: Eolas oidhreachta a chruinniú agus a scaipeadhCabhrú le bunachar cuimsitheach sonraí oidhreachta don chontae a fhorbairt, an fhaisnéis sin a chur ar fáil dochách, agus úsáid éifeachtach na sonraí a chinntiú, maidir le gach polasaí le linn a fhoirmlithe agus gachcinneadh le linn a dhéanta.

• Cuspóir 3: An cleachtas is fearr um caomhnú agus bainistiú na hoidhreachta a chur chun cinnCaighdeáin a bhaineann leis an gcleachtas is fearr i gcaomhnú agus i mbainistiú oidhreachta a chur chun cinn,agus comhairle a chur ar fáil ina dtaobh.

Is e seo an chéad Phlean dá shaghas do Chontae Ros Comáin. Aithnítear ann na cuspóirí atá i gcoitinne againnagus na gníomhaíochtaí is gá lena gcur i gcrích. Soláthraítear ann frámaíocht chun cabhrú linn ár ndul chuncinn a mheas. Beidh gá le páirtíocht leanúnach chun na gníomhaíochtaí a chur i bhfeidhm. Déanfaidh FóramOidhreachta Chontae Ros Comáin maoirseacht ar chur i bhfeidhm an Phlean, le tacú agus comhordú OifigOidhreachta Chomhairle Contae Ros Comáin.

The County Roscommon Heritage Plan has taken into account the County Development Board strategy

document ‘Roscommon Common Vision’ which sets out actions for the economic, social and cultural

development of the county.

The preparation process followed guidelines set out by the Heritage Council for the preparation of local

Heritage Plans and included extensive public consultation. This has lead to the identification of actions for the

County Heritage Plan to achieve. These have been grouped into broad objectives of:

• Objective 1: To raise awareness of our heritageTo facilitate increasing awareness, understanding and enjoyment of Roscommon’s heritage.

• Objective 2: To collect and disseminate heritage informationTo facilitate the development of a comprehensive heritage database for the county, to make this information

available to all and to ensure effective use of data in policy formulation and decision-making.

• Objective 3: To promote best practice in heritage conservation and managementTo promote and advise on best practice standards for heritage conservation and management.

This is the first Plan of its kind for County Roscommon. It identifies our collective objectives and the actions

needed to achieve them. It provides a framework to enable us to measure our progress. It will require

continued partnership to fulfil the actions. The County Roscommon Heritage Forum will oversee

implementation of the Plan, which will be supported and co-ordinated by the Heritage Office of Roscommon

County Council.

Statement of Strategy

23

IntroductionThe County Roscommon Heritage Plan is a countywide plan with many partners responsible for implementingit. The County Roscommon Heritage Forum will oversee the implementation of the Heritage Plan. RoscommonCounty Council is a key partner and the Heritage Officer will, in many cases, act as co-ordinator for projects.The Heritage Forum will seek the participation of key partners in all the work it carries out.

TimeframeThe plan sets out actions for a five- year period, 2004-2009. Each year a detailed work programme will bedrawn up from the actions in this Plan, setting out the projects proposed for the year, the partners, the timeframe and the body responsible for delivery. The Heritage Forum will propose the annual work programme inagreement with all partners.

FinanceA budget of approximately €600,000 is estimated for the delivery of the actions over the lifetime of the Plan,excluding staff costs.

The National Heritage Plan indicates a budget of €12.7 million will be made available over a 5-year period forthe implementation of local Heritage Plans. There has been no indication to date, from the Department ofEnvironment, Heritage and Local Government, that funding allocations will be made to support Heritage Plansin 2004.

The Heritage Council, for 2004, has a budget of €700,000 for implementation of County/City Heritage Plans.This fund is available only to Local Authorities who have engaged a Heritage Officer through the HeritageCouncil’s Heritage Officer Programme, such as Roscommon County Council.

Roscommon County Council will include a sum of money in the draft estimates for 2004 to support thedelivery of this Plan in 2004. Through the Heritage Office, Roscommon County Council will continue tosupport the delivery of the actions in this Plan through the work of its Heritage Office and other staff.

Partner organisations may provide funding for actions, which fall within their own funding criteria.

PartnersThe partners listed are proposed partners. As the annual work programme is agreed, commitments will beobtained from relevant partners. The lead partner will be highlighted for each project when priorities areagreed.

Monitoring and EvaluationThe County Roscommon Heritage Plan sets out actions for a five- year period. The annual work programme willbe monitored by the County Heritage Forum. Progress will be evaluated at regular intervals.
