Co‘4 i” s aspersed Deputy Hussey's remarks* and expressed his appreciation of/coTlrtesy and fairness of Councillor King to all as Chairman. The other members of the Council also expressed tbar thanks to Councillor King and wished him many years of happiness in his retirement.

The County^Manager, the County Engineer and the County Secretary also joined in the good wishes to Councillor King expressed by the members.

PLANNING; Councillor Kyne stated that over a year ago the Council passed a resolution asking that planning permission be given for the construction of electric wires over ground to a house at Shannavagh, Oughterard, and that since then all that had happened was that the County Council would agree* only if the wires were put under ground. He proposed that permission be now given without having to put the wires under ground.

Senator Mannion supported Councillor Kyne's proposal, and said that an undertaking had been given that the Council would consult with the E.S.B. but that no result of this had been communicated to him (Senator Mannion)i He asked that the Council should pay the difference in cost between laying the wires under ground and overground.

The County Manager stated that it is not a matter for the County Council to tell the E.S.B. how they should construct electric wiring. Ihe E.S.B. in this case have been told the ... < — the .facts of the matter by the County Council,and they were told that the construction of over-ground wires would be seriously * detrimental to the visual amenity of the area. A question such as this,he stated j; is a matter for the E.S.B. not for the County Council. SenatorMannion stated that there are five others involved as well as the individual in question. The County Manager stated that it is a matter for the E.S.B. to consider the alternatives which are open to them, and he pointed out that the Council cannot stop the E.S.B. if they decide to go ahead, as in this case it is exempted development,but he stressed that it is an area of high amenity, and this is a fact which must also be fas^d by the E.S.B.

4108 „ AMENITY SCHEMES: The County Manager informed the Council that notification hadbeen received from the Department of Local Government that a grant of £10 000 would be made available by that Department for amenity schemes for the period 1st April ]974 to 31st December, 1974, and that this together with the provision made in the ’ ’ estimates for the same period would /nake a total sum of £19,000 available for amenity schemes. He stated that the Department had asked for particulars of schemes to be assisted by the 16th June. He also stated that there are about twenty two applications on hands on which a total of about £50,000 could be expended between now and 31st Decembe^ n^xt, ard he recommended that the Council continue to assist schemes which are xlc being helped, and which are not yet completed.

He then gave the following list of schemes on which it was thought money could be expended between now and 31st December next.

Community Centre at ClonburChildren's Playground ClifdenAmenity Park WoodfordGymnasium Temperaaio Hall LoughreaSports Field at MoyloughVillage Catre at MilltownKing Rory O' Connor Museum and ParkfluamCommunity Centre at CladdaghduffSports Field at BallinakillGymnasium and Playing Field at Ardbear,ClifdenPitch and Putt Course at MoniveaCommunity Centre at FurboughTennis Court at KiltullaCommunity Centre at BallinderreenCar Park and other development at Ballyturn, GortTennis and Basket Ball Court at CreggsTennis Court at MoycullenTuam Community Council Assembly HallTennis Court at OughterardAthenry Parish Grounds Committee DevelopmentYouth Club and Community Centre at Letterfrack

He asked the approval of the Council to go ahead immediately with assistance for schemes where work had started and had not yet been completed, and that the remaining schemes on hands could be put on the agenda for the next meeting.

Councillor Joyce stated that a promise had been given some time ago to the Curate at Claddaghduff that a grant would be made available for a community centre.

Deputy Callanan stated that work had started in Ballymacward last year, and that this was not mentioned in the list given by the County Manager, and that Monivea was the only centre in the Ballinasloe area proposed to be assisted.

The Chairman suggested that the Department of Local Government be asked to postpone e closing date, and he suggested also that there is no purpose in giving a grant

if it will only start a proj ect - that the Council should be satisfied that the promoters are able to complete it.

< °?riG ddor âver'ty stated that the total sum available should be divided equally be twee all Electoral Areas.

The County Manager stated that when the Council embarks on giving assistance to schemes \toSh°Vld ensur® tnat it continues to help those schemes until they are completed otherwise^you will have half completed schemes on hands. He asked the approval of the Council to allocate the grant of £10 ,0 0 0 made available by the Minister for oca Government for^the assistance of schemes already started, and that he would have

regard as far as it is possible to do so to the needs of all five Electoral Areas.

CounciHor Glynn proposed, and Senator Killilea seconded, that the Council approve the County Manager's suggestion.

Deputy CaCLlanan proposed, and Councillor Haverty seconded as an amendment, that the council cwide the total sum available of £ 19 ,0 0 0 equally between all five ElectoralxiI*Gcl S •

Deputy Callanan stated that it should be left to the members of the Council kc recommend small schemes, and to allocate the sun of £9,000 equally over each electoral area.

Deputy Kitt .stated that for the past two years the total allocation was divided, by five giving an equal amount to each electoral area, and that the total sir. ’available now (£19,000) divided by five would give a sum of £3,900 for eachelectoral area. He proposed that areas which had not got much out ...f the allocation made by the County Manager should now get most of the £9,000.

The Deputy County Manager stated that it is an urgent matter to ensure that sufficient money is spent by the 31st December, 1974 in order to enable the u moy to be allocated.

Deputy Kitt stated that any area which had already got an allocation of £3,300 or more should not get any allocation out of the sum of £9,000, and that others should get the major part of it , but that no area should get r-ore than £3,800.

Councillor Glynn stated that the Council should make an effort to complete those schemes which have only been partially carried out before starting too many new schemes.

After a further discussion it was a.;-reed that the list of schemes on hands should be circulated to each member of the Council together with particulars of the allocation made by the County Manager so that the Council can decide

how the sum of £9,000 is to be allocated.

Councillor Byrne stated that he felt that when the sum of £9,000 is being allocated a substantial grant will be made for n tennis court in Kiltulln, and he then proposed ' the Council now make an allocation of say £500 or £600 for this project|

Councillor McCormack seconded this proposal.

Other members stated that they were in favour of giving some assistance to the Kiltulln project, but that the question of/allocation should be deferred to the next meeting.

It was eventually agreed to defer the matter to the next meeting m.' the Ccuncij..

Councillor Sean Donnellan now took the Chair

C.miPING OF ITINERANTS a T LISSATUNNa CROSS HEaR PORTs Councillor Fahey stated that itinerants and other travellers had been camping on an open space which was the property of the Council near Lissatunna within three miles of Oort for some mb e, that while they were there there was a serious health problem because of lack .f proper sanitation, and that they were causing a nuisance to householders nearby.He asked that since the plot is now vacant the Council might erect a fence prevent future camping on the land.

Councillor Byrne supported Councillor Fahey's request, and suggested that the committee on itinerancy be asked to meet and discuss the housing of itinerants.

Deputy Molloy asked what action is to be taken on Councillor Fahey's pro m.sal<

The Deputy County Manager stated that the matter will be considered, that the C.unty Engineer will probably be asked to report on the matter, and that if it in considered advisable the work may be carried out, and that if not Councilor Fahey would be informed what is proposed.

Deputy Molloy stated that, unless the Council had provided any hard s band in Port area for itinerants he would oppose having them hounded from place to place, and that he would accordingly oppose the proposal made by Councillor Fahoy.

Councillor Fahey stated that one family in this area had erected a temporary shack which caused a grave sanitary problem.

Councillor Holland stated that he agreed with what Councillor Fahey had stated, and h_- asked that the Council also examine the Merlin Park area.

with the reasons given by the Manager for trie delays in house building and that he expected Mich; a report on his motion voald ue presented a t trie next meeting of the committee, Tne County Manager undertook to supply a report as soen- as possible. Deputy iuolloy also objected to the practice of requesting applicants for houses to provide sites and ne odvocote'd a much wider use of C.P.O.a in cases .nhere tnere was difficulty in obtaining sites ,

5. Survey oi Housin., feeds on the Aran Islands.: hheputy ;;.olloy proposed a motion that a survey of housing needs of persons residing oh the Aran Islands be carried out immediately with a view to initiating a Housing Scheme for the Islands; Ho stated that there was a housing problem relating to newly- married couples who are unsule to provide their own houses and that there were a number of houses on the Islands which were in an unfit and dangerous condition. Councillor .Burke then proposed tha t the survey be extended to

nthe whole county. Councillor O' Mornin supported the motion and the amendment ns did Councillor Morgan.The County . mager stated that the difficulty of undertaking surveys -was that staff hod not bean available. ' , Recently,, the Health Inspectorate staff had been augmented and he understood from the C.M.O. that it would De possible to undertake a small survey and accordingly the Aran survey could be considered. Councillor Morgan withdrew support for the amendment that the survey should be extended to the County on the basis of having work done immediately on the Aran survey.It was agreed generally, that this survey ought be undertaken.

6. H o u s i n g ,K & pa i r s 3 ub - c omm i 11 e e , Councillors Haver ty and Joyce proposed a motion that Housing Repairs Sub-committee consisting of one Councillorfrom each electoral area together with the Assistant County Manager and the Engineer in charge of house vesting and repairs be set up to inspect all cottages which have applied for vesting and to report their findings to the Council.The Chairman queried .whether this Committee was necessary in view of the existing Housing Committee.The County Manager pointed out that the more committees that were formed the more dii Moult it would be to service them. .Tne Housing Departme.it was already hard-pressed and the time required to service committees would hold up progress with essential -work. It was linally agreed oot to press for the establishment of a Repairs Committee on condition that the Housing Committee were given details of the number ;>f houses repaired for vesting in the pas!;, particulars of outstanding cases of repairs and of the programme and time factor required to have all arrears cleared up to date.

7. Qualifier tions Lor Council House Loans. Deputy Molloy proposed a motion that ■the law be amended to provide that married people shall not be disqualified from receiving County Council house loans by reason of the fact that they have not reached the age of 21 years.It was agreed that this motion be submitted to the Department of Local Gove mine nt

8. Increase jf interest rate on issues from the Local Loans Fund; The County Manager informed the Committee that the interest on issues from the local loans fund wop being increased to 10/o p. a ./ax tor the 18th July, 1974*

92 - APFLICAT10N_FOR BEMISSION OF RATES - DIGITAL EQUIPMENT INTERNATIONAL LTD •The County Manager stated that the granting of remission under the Undeveloped Areas Act is a matter for the members of the Council and he stated that this is a matter of some concern. He pointed out that he was not aware of any policy of the Council to give remission in every case and that at a previous discussion he had suggested to the Council that they should formulate a policy for dealing with such applications.In the current application he stated that the remission would amount to £7,338 for the current year and that over a period of ten years the total remission would be in the region of £100,000. He stated that heunderstood that the Council never intended a commitment of this nature and that there was a school of thought which maintained that any assistance given to industry should be provided by the Industrial Development Authority. Ho asked the Council to consider the present application and a policy for future applications having regard to those considerations.Deputy Coogan stated that this was one of the best firms working in the Galway area and he considered that they should be given consideration.Councillor Morgan stated that it was not for the Council,to help this types of factory and that the request should be sent on/the I.D.A.Councillor Holland proposed that the Council grant the appropriate remission as he stated that he understood the firm was enticed to come to Galv.ray on this and other inducements.Deputy Coogan seconded Councillor Hollands's proposal.The County Manager stated that it was not correct that they came to Galway or. this consideration and that the I.D.A. may have told them that this remission may be possible but he pointed out that it is not for the I.D.A. to commit the County Council on matters which are within the Council's own jurisdiction.Replying to Deputy Molloy the County Manager stated tha t/i number of similar applications had been granted and Deputy Molloy enquired why change policy now?The County Manager stated that he was merely suggesting to the County Council that they should now consider revising their policy in this matter and he pointed out that it is quite common for some local authorities not to give this remission. He pointed out that Rateable Valuation is the Council's main source -<•' ■ its own revenueand that the only decision which the Council can make is to give the lull remission of2/3rds., valuation for ten years or to give nothing at all.Councillor Glynn stated that the previous Council felt that such relief should bo given to genuine Irish firms only and f0reign companies shouldnot benefit*Councillor Byrne stated that the Council should go slow in this matterand he considered that consideration might be given only to small firmswhich are not doing very well.»

Deputy Callanan asked for information about the extent of the assistance which the Council had already given including information on the number which may have been refused. After further discussion it was agreed that the matter be defer^gd^for further information.Deputy Molloy asked ' the company be requested to state itsreasons why the Council should support it in this manner and he considered that the Council should be able to give the assistance if the employment position and the financial position of the company warranted it and he suggested that the company might therefore be asked to justify the reasons why its application should be granted.

Officials; Mr. S. Keating, County Manager, Mr. J. Hewlett, County Secretary,;Mrs. P. Monaghan, Acting County Accountant, Mr. C. A. Warner, County Engineer; Mr. M. Dunne, Deputy County Engineer; Messrs. J„ Silke,H. Finnegan and K. Hayes, Chief Assistant County Engineers and Mr.B. Gannon, Staff Officer.

173 " ROADS ESTIMATE, 1973° Estimate of Expenses for roads,which had beenprepared by the County Engineer had been circulated together with further explanatory tables and statement dated 4/lO/*74 by the County Manager'.The County Manager referred to his statement and said that the principal features of the Roads Estimate were as follows;(a) last year's estimate had been for a period of nine months and the

annual equivalent was shown in the estimate in order to afford comparison with the coming financial year,

(b) costs had increasedconoiderably in the intervening period;(c) in the absence of a notification from the epartment of Local

Government/ the amount of Road Grants, grants had been anti ipated on the same basis as last year plus an amount for increased costs;

(d) the result of the above factors was that the effect on the rates of the adoption of the estimate in full would be severe. A rate increase of 3 9-09p in the € would be required over the annual equivalent ofthe 1974 rate. This however, would represent an actual increase of 65-937P in the £ by comparison with the rate adopted for the short year i.e. nine months to the 3 1/1 2/7 4 .In reply to questions by Deputy Callanan the County Manager indicated that wage increases and known increases in prices had been taken into account in the estimate. The Manager also gave particulars of the basis oi the grants paid by the* Departmen t of Local Government in

respect of the various classes of roads.During the course of a lengthy discussion on the estimate, Councillor Glynn referred to the need for more extensive signposting and Councillor 0 Morain pointed out that a major improvement was required to the Coast Road from Barna to Carna. The County Manager pointed out that this road was not a national primary or national secondary road and that funds for its improvement would have to come from rates or from a tuock grant which had to cater Loth for the improvement of County Roads and for the improvement and up-keep of Main Roads. Councillor 0 Morain also requested details of the figure of £20,615 given for Main Road up-keep in the Clifden district.Councillor Killilea stated that the money allocated for County Road recontruction in the Tuam area was far tco low and herequested that road in Ballinamona, Tuam to Laffey's house be blacktopped. He also reierred to the case of Mrs. Naughton re road widening at the Galway Road, Tuam. The County Manager stated that negotiations in this case had not yet been finalised.Deputy Molloy indicated that he was not satisfied with the information supplied in regard to the Roads Estimate- He said that global figures were not adequate and would result in giving too much discretion to the Council's officials in regard to the expenditure of amounts which might be approved by the Council, He oroposed that detailed informa tion on proposals for expe8d5^a¥&j'l8? S8nslierS^£8ft and decision by the Council.

2

This proposal was seconded by Councillor 0 Morain. A lenghty discussion took place on the . proposal during which reference was made to the role of the Department of Local Government and of the local Engineering staff in regard to the apportionment of money for schemes on national primary and national secondary roads. Deputy Molloy suggested that decisions made by the Department in regard to the allocation of these funds were influenced by recommendations made by the local Engineering staff. The County Engineer pointed out that in respect of last year's estimates schemes formulated by him and approved by.the Council had been approved in part only by the Department and that he had not been consulted in regard to the variations which the Department had made in the schemes approved by the Council. He stated that he had already given information to Deputy Molloy on the pointe being raised by him. The County Manager pointed out that the Department had not yet notified the Council on the specific amounts of grants to be allocated for 1975. When such notification was received a scheme for the expenditure for the amounts involved would be presented to the Council and then transmitted to the Department. He also referred to the short period available for the preparation of estimates for the coming year and he stated that while it was his aim to give more information to the Council the time factor had inhibited progress in this^direction. The Manager also referred to the probable total rate to the options which he had set out in regard to the rate for roads and stated that he would like the Council to give an indication of how much they would be prepared to provide from rates.During the course of a further discussion, Councillor Molloy alleged that there was inconsistency between the amount allocated for maintenance and the corresponding amounts for the previous financial year. He also stated that a break-down of maintenance expenditure by Engineers' area s was inadequate and that further details would be required. The Manager undertook to supply such details as far as possible. Councillor Molloy also requested comparative figures for the surfacing of one mile of road by tarmacadam and by chips and tarring.On the proposal of Councillor Morgan seconded by Councillor Glynn the Council unanimously resolved to request the Department of Local Government to supply specific information on the amount of Road Grants as quickly as possible in view of the restricted time for the consideration of estimates.It was proposed by Councillor Galvin seconded by Deputy Callanan and resolved;rai&I l"*16 Estimate be increased by an equivalent of approximately a

/iP in°Xhe £1 so as to raise, the money for Notice of Motion Roads to £1 , 2 0 0 per member".Councillor Molloy dissented from this motion on the grounds that information supplied was inadequate.It was suggested by Councillor Glynn, who was supported by Councillor 0 Morain that a minimum of £^000 be reserved out of maintenance monies for erection of direction signs. Councillor Callanan dissented from this suggestion.It was agreed that the County Engineer would indicate in respect of lists supplied on road proposals deferred for consideration at estimates, the ones which had been included in the estimate together with the estimate of cost of proposals omitted from the estimate.Finally it was proposed by Deputy Molloy and seconded by Deputy Callanan that every effort should be made to spend in full the allocation for Local Improvement Schemas in respect of the period tothe 3 1/1 2/7 4.

COMHAIRLE CHONTAE NA GAILLIMHE(GALWAY COUNTY COUNCIL)

TO/ EI/CH MEMBER OF GALWAY CO. COUNCIL

A Chara,

Secretary's Office, County Buildings,Galwayo23rd October, 1974.

I append a summary of the Report received from our PlanningConsultants on the proposal to zone additional lands for residentialuse in the prop'&sed Oranmore Plan.

Mise, le meas,J. Howlett

County Secretary

"The original development plan was the outcome of the consideration ofmany interrelated factors. The main considerations were:A) The Regional setting i.e.j the role of the four villages Oranmore,

Floycullen, Barna and Spiddal in the expansion of Galway City.B) The existing functions and characteristics of Oranmore village.C) The location of Oranmore in the county and national road network.D) The stated policies of Galway County Council re Oranmore Village

is their policies on roads, services etc.E) The existence of industry in close proximity to the village.F) The basic planning principles of relating communal facilities to

their catchment population e.g., minimising travel time, eliminating traffic hazards providing adequate facilities at the right time etc.,

G) The suitability of land surrounding Oranmor| for development.

Using the above factors as guidelines the Oranmore Development Plan was prepared and submitted to Galway County Council in December 1971 as were Development Plans for the villages of Moycullen, Barna and Spiddal. These were presented to the Council in February 1972.The future size of each of the villages was largely determined through a thorough examination of five factors.1. Social considerations. these included assessing_the rate at which incoming population could be absorbed into the existing villagecommunity without causing disruption in the village and anomie (i.e.a feeling of not belonging or not accepted) in the incoming population.

2. Economic considerations" By maintaining the close knit character of the village service costs are kept to a minimum e.g. road lengths pipe lengths would be kept to a minimum.

, , considerations! This included an assessment of all lands surrounding the

1 y* for their building potential ( i.e., the slope, bearing capacity, drainage

capacity and landscape characteristics at all lands adjoining the existing village

Present and Future Functions. The present and possible future functions of the village as a residential area, shopping area, and employment area within the county

was examined.

Finally the demand for development in the area was evaluated. These considerations

resulted in the proposal of a future village size of some 2,W O persons in a well integrated village with all the necessary community facilities within easy access of

all the people.

The Implications of the Proposal to re - zone approx. 173 acres in the Townland of Carrowmoneash from arpart industrial / agricultural use to a residential use may be sunmarized as follows* ( assuming typical suburban housing densities) .

U The village as set out in the Development Plan would be enlarged to more than

twice the projected size with the resulting social disruption.2. The character of the village would be altered radically to become a major suburb of Galway rather than an expanded village.3# The function of the village would change . It wofald be absorbing a considerable

amount of Galway City's growth ( i.e., about 20% of estimated city growth up to 1990)4. Its population would equal that at Ballinasloe ( 1971)*5* Two thirds of the population would live in a different location to the established

village centre. These would have to travel ^mile on average to the centre.6. A National primary route would seperate most of the residents from the facilities

of the village centre. The hazard of crossing this traffic barrier would lead to

potentially dangerous situations.7. Industrial development would have to be curtailed in the area.

8. All the people living in the rezoned lands would be in a high noise area where the noise levels already are in excess of those necessary for a reasonable residential

noise enviroment. ( c.f. Environmental Noise Study: Oranmore Plan Revision I IRS) .

9. All the people in the rezoned lands would he living in an area where air pollution

in wirfdy conditions v/ould exist due to the presence of a dirty industry in the area.

10. The implementation of the proposed sewerage scheme for-Oranmore village would

have to be abandoned and a new scheme commissioned. To ensure good design the County

C'jncil would have to decide on the layout of the major roads in the rezoned area.

11. The sewerage scheme already designed for Orar.more village s increased in cost

from £115,000 in October 1971 to £210,000 approx, in August 197*u The additional delay necessitated by the process of redesigning to include the rezoned area can be

expected to further substantially increase the cost of servicing Oranmore Village

12. The previous decisions of the County Council to allow industry, to locate

in the area and to build a roliof road for Oranmore Village are incompatible with the preposal to zone the land south of the railway line for residential

use. 1

It emerges from the considerations above that the proposal to rezone the land in the Townland of Carrpwmoneash is contrary to the planning principles which

underlie the Development Plan proposals already submitted and that the lands in

question are not generally suited to the creation of a residential district. © G

17rj _ ESTIMATE OF EXPENSES FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 1975s The Est imate for Housingwas cons idered . The County Manager pointed out t h a t the two main d iv i s io n s of t h i s e s t im a te were the amounts provided fo r d i r e c t house-bui ld ing and maintenance and th e sums put towards Housing Loans and Grants . In the former case a new subsidy was a v a i l a b l e which aimed a t removing the burden from r a t e s over a fo u r -y e a r p e r io d . The e ffecx of t h i s was t h a t fo r tne f i n a n c i a l y ea r 1975 the housing r a t e would not exceed 25% of the corresponding r a t e f o r 1972/73. Full p ro v i s io n had been made fo r increased cos ts but i t was r e a l i s e d , t h a t in l i n e with dec is ion in p rev ious y ears , the Council might be asked to put an upper l im i t on the amount being spent on Hosing maintenance.

During th e course of a lengthy d i sc u ss io n on the Housing Estimate the County Manager informed C ounc i l lo r Callanan t h a t adequate p rov is ion had been made t o b u i ld houses fo r approved a p p l i c a n t s .

Deputy Molloy s t a t e d t h a t th e re were some very urgent cases fo r re-hous ing on th e Aran I s l a n d s and in some in s ta n c e s persons were l iv in g in dangerous houses.

Following some f u r t h e r d is c u s s io n the Housing Estimate was approved on the proposal of Senator K i l l i l e a seconded by Counc il lo r Haverty.

The Council then considered th e Estimate fo r General Purposes , I t was decided on a show of hands t h a t the Estimate be reduced by C l ,000 by the d e l e t i o n of item f o r the improvement of the Council Chamber. Under the heading o f Planning and Development, Senator K i l l i l e a and Deputy Callanan recommended t h a t no f u r t h e r c o n su l ta n t s be employed f o r Planning purposes.

The County Manager po in ted out t h a t the Estimate inc luded an amount reques ted by th e Galway Harbour Commissioners in support of borrowing by them fo r development works. Having regard to an e a r l i e r guarantee by the Council f o r t h i s purpose the b a s i s of the claim for repayment was not c l e a r and was being i n v e s t i g a t e d . The amount included in the t s t im a te would not be paid u n t i l such time as t h i s i n v e s t i g a t i o n had been completed and a r a p o r t had been p re sen te d to the Council .

180 - MALICIOUS DAMAGE CLAIMS; The Council noted Malicious Damage Claims numbered 3(a)to 3 (o) on th e Agenda.

181 - QRANMOiiE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. A summary of a r e p o r t rec e iv e d from th e C o u n c i l ' sPlanning C o n su l tan t s had been c i r c u l a t e d to each member of the Council . The County Manager informed th e members t h a t the C o n su l tan ts were now a v a i l a b l e to exp la in the r e p o r t and to answer any q u e s t io n s a r i s i n g th e re o n . He s t a t e d t h a t on the l a s t occas ion on which t h i s m a t t e r had been b e fo re the Council a r e s o l u t i o n had been adopted t h a t th e Council W0U not agree to accep t the D ra f t P lan made by th e C o n su l tan ts u n le s s and u n t i l th e lands a t Carrowrnoneash were inc luded for development. The m a t t e r having been r e f e r r e d back to the C o n su l ta n t s , they had then undertaken extensive s t u d i e s to see whether th e se lanus could be inc luded fo r housing development. As would be seen from th e summary of the report, they had f i n a l l y come to th e conclus ion t h a t it was not p o s s ib l e to have t h i s done.

In r e p ly to f u r t h e r q u e s t io n s , th e County Manager i n d ic a t e d t h a t the August r e s o l u t i o n of the Council could imply, t h a t in c e r t a i n c i rcu m s tan ces , no plan

. ought be made fo r Oranmore. A number of C o u n c i l lo r s protested t h a t , whateverthe terms of the r e s o l t i o n , the C o u n c i l ' s wishes in th e m a t t e r were not in doubt and t h a t i t had been t h e i r i n t e n t i o n to give a d i r e c t i o n t h a t the lands be inc luded f o r development .

A leng thy d i s c u s s io n took p lace on whether th e Planning Consultants should be heard . Sena to r Higgins po in ted ou t t h a t t h e r e were im por tan t s o c i a l i s s u e s involved f o r f u t u r e r e s i d e n t s in Oranmore and t h a t th e m a t t e r had a very important b ear ing on th e e n t i r e p lann ing of the c i t y and i t s e n v i ro n s . He urged th e Council to hear the C o n su l tan t s and was supported by a number of o th e r C o u n c i l lo r s who a lso contended t h a t the C o n su l tan t s be given a h e a r in g .

I t was proposed by C o u n c i l lo r Holland and seconded by C o u n c i l lo r Glynn t h a t tne Council should hear th e C o n su l t a n t s .

During the course of t h i s d i s c u s s io n th e County Manager answered q u e s t io n s reg a rd in g p lann ing a p p l i c a t i o n s submittad in r e s p e c t of th e lands and he a l so r e f e r r e d t o l e t t e r da ted 9 /o /7 4 which had been rece ived from the Chief Medical O f f i c e r and which in d ic a t e d sp e c i a l problems inr e l a t i o n to domestic sewerage d i s p o s a l , i n d u s t r i a l e f f l u e n t and air and no ise p o l l u t i o n which would be a s s o c i a t e d with th e proposed a d d i t i o n a l development a t Oranmore. In c l a r i f i c a t i o n of some of th ese p o in t s the County Manager i n d ic a te d t h a t i t had never been in tended to d i sch a rg e raw sewerage i n to the sea a t Oranmore but t h a t a p ro p o sa l to en la rg e t h e scope of development would mean t h a t sewerage p lan s f o r t h e a rea would have to be r e v i s e d . At p r e s e n t th e se p lan s were he ld up pending f i n a l d e c i s io n on the p la n .

Deputy Molloy s t a t e d t h a t the summary r e p o r t be fo re the Council appeared to be b ia sed a g a in s t in c lu d in g th e land f o r development. Only one s id e of th e argument had been developed. Good c o n s u l t a n t s ought to be ab le t o accommodate a c e r t a i n le\dL of development a t Carrowrnoneash. I t was necessa ry to e x p lo i t p o s s i b i l i t i e s of development here because of the lack of s u i t a b l e land f o r development in o ther a r e a s around the v i l l a g e .
