Donegal Town Hub - The broad elements to this Development Hub are Enterprise Development, Retail Strategy and Tourism ----------------------------- CEDRA - Following the success of the Certificate in Marine Tourism and Seafood Fundamentals course that was delivered in 2016, as part of the Donegal Costal Trail Project, the course is now open for applications for 2017 with the next course due to start on 1st February 2017. This part time course has been developed by LYIT’s School of Tourism for people working in the marine tourism and seafood sector. The Certificate in Marine Tourism and Seafood Fundamentals is funded by Údarás na Gaeltachta and Donegal County Council. As the course is fully funded, it is free of charge for participants and offers a recognised academic qualification on completion and opportunities to progress to further education.

Donegal’s Atlantic Coastal Trail is an innovative food and marine tourism project focused on marine leisure and seafood experiences, which will advance rural, coastal and island economic development in County Donegal. The goal of this project is to raise awareness of the excellent marine leisure and seafood opportunities on the Donegal coast and islands and to encourage local communities to experience our own marine leisure activities and seafood coast that is right on our doorstep and perhaps unexplored. The inclusion of the islands adds an additional unique element to the project where visitors can experience something different and unexplored. The project will help local marine leisure activity providers, restaurants and pubs to work together to bundle their offering and create experiential packages that can be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. This will reduce seasonality by offering experiences that are available all year long.

Donegal’s Atlantic Coastal Trail is promoting the further development of tourism along the coast of Donegal on the Wild Atlantic Way is funded under the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas scheme (CEDRA), Donegal County Council and Údarás na Gaeltachta. ---------------------------------------------------

Cool Route Project funded under the Northern Periphery & Arctic programme 2014-2020. Donegal County Council is a project partner on the Cool Route project. Other project partners include Glasgow Caledonian University, Royal Cork Yacht Club, Derry City Council, Port Authority Torshavn Faroe Islands, Blue Seas Marinas Scotland, Western Norway Research Institute and associated partners Donegal Tourism, the Irish Cruising Club and Sail Scotland.

The project merges all aspects of the practical logistics and business potential to establish a bi-directional yacht cruising route along the offshore areas of the Northern Periphery Area, stretching from the South of Ireland, to the UK (Northern Ireland and Western Scotland) on onwards to Norway.

Press release 22 March 2017 Ryan family going to great lengths to support the Big Donegal Clean-up The Ryan family are going to great lengths to support this year’s Big Donegal Clean Up and to lend a hand to the hundreds of individuals and groups around the county who come together each year for their community clean ups. Danny, Jordan, Keane and Alannah were on hand this week to help out the Donegal County Council Litter Management Team launch the 2017 Big Donegal Clean Up. “We are delighted to have the Ryan family supporting the Big Donegal Clean Up this year” says Cathaoirleach Cllr. Terence Slowey “They are great ambassadors for Donegal and their ‘get up and go’ attitude is a great tonic for all of us. The Ryan family are not just wonderful sports people but are also rooted in their community and this is what this initiative is all about. The Ryan family brought a great sense of pride to Donegal when they competed in Irelands Fittest Family last year and this initiative is about building on this sense of pride and making our county the cleanest in Ireland”. Last year’s Big Donegal Clean Up was a great success with over 300 community groups from all over Donegal taking part and Suzanne Bogan Waste Awareness Officer with Donegal County Council believes that this year is shaping up to be another successful year. “We already have in the region of 100 groups signed up for the An Taisce National Spring Clean campaign and the Donegal Clean-Up so we are confident that we will achieve similar numbers this year.” “The interest from communities is brilliant and it will all help in making Donegal litter free and allowing us to put our best foot forward for the forthcoming tourist season”. “Donegal relies heavily on the tourist industry and the beauty of the county’s landscape and natural environment is without doubt our unique selling point. Rubbish and litter can be a major blight on our environment and portrays a very negative message for Donegal. “So hat’s off to all those individuals and groups across Donegal who take it upon themselves to clean up their area. Donegal is a large county and unfortunately the Council cannot keep the county litter free on its own. That’s why the work of these individuals and groups is so important and vital to us”. This campaign sees the Council supporting individuals, groups and organisations in organising their own clean-ups. The Council provides bags, gloves and litter pickers and arranges for the collection of the rubbish once it has been bagged.

“We are seeing an increase in the number of individuals who are taking it upon themselves to clean up their local area when they are out walking. So we would be urging people when they are out walking to bring a bag with them and pick up litter as they find it along their walk. The Council is more than happy to help with gloves, litter pickers and bags and we will also collect the rubbish once it is bagged”. To sign up for this year’s Big Donegal Clean Up call 074 91 53900 or visit www.donegalcoco.ie . You can also register with An Taisce’s National Spring Clean campaign by calling (01) 4002219 or online at www.nationalspringclean.org.

Municipal District of Donegal meeting of the 11th April 2017

Agenda No.

Type Information

4.1 Motion Submitted by:

Clr. Barry O Neill

Assigned to: Community, Enterprise & Planning

Details:

That the Donegal Municipal District call on the Planning Department of Donegal County Council to determine if the state of dereliction of the site / property that is known locally as the Millstone Site on the Main Street of Ballyshannon is warranted. If it is case then this MD calls on the Planning Department for the same said property be added to the Derelict Sites Register following inspection and that the statutory notice to reflect this be served on the owners, followed by a notice to clean-up the site and if also warranted that the local authority applies the derelict sites levy that amounts to 3% of the market value of the property annually, otherwise if the owner applies for Planning Permission to develop the landmark property then DCC seek a bond instead

Signed off by: Paul Christie

Response: The referenced site is not included on the Derelict Sites Register at present. When complaints regarding such sites are brought to the attention of the Planning Department, the protocol is for Planning to request a site inspection and follow-up report including recommended actions by the Area Housing Engineer. Planning follows up accordingly. It is proposed to follow these procedures for this site in the context of limited resources and other competing priorities.

5.1 Question Submitted by:

Clr. Barry O Neill

Assigned to: Roads and Housing Capital

Details: Why has the service contractor failed to repair the Public Lights as requested in Ballyshannon at the following locations - Parkhill, Allingham Park (Fair Green) and at the Green areas on both sides of the Footbridge at Red Hugh O'Donnell Bridge?”

Signed off by:

MARK SWEENEY

Response: These faults along with others were immediately reported to Airtricity when we were made aware of the lights being out. A number of the repairs reported have been done but we contacted Airtricity again with regards to the lights noted above and they confirmed the following: Light at Parkhill - Repairs to be completed by week ending 07.04.17 Lights at Allingham Park (Fair Green) - Repairs to be completed by week ending 07.04.17 Lights at the footbridge - Unable to repair during first visit as access to the lights was an issue. Airtricity are making arrangements for mobile scaffolding to be brought to the site to facilitate the repair and again they hope to have the repairs completed by week ending 07.04.17.
