BALLINGARRY COMMUNITY COUNCIL AGM MEETING,
Monday 31st January 2005 Community Hall, Ballingarry

Present: Tony Claydon, Annie Heaphy. , Kathleen Brennan , Alice Goldsboro ,Bill Martin, Kathleen Kelly, Eileen Fennelly. Sr Patricia, Padraig Collins, Annie Heaphy.
Tomas Fitzgerald, Pat Walton.

Apologies: none

Guests: Rosaleen Drew ( Munitir ) , Councillor Susan Meagher , Councillor John Fahy, Dick Goldsboro, James Ivors, Donal Dunne, Fr Breen,

Next Meeting: Monday Feb 28th , Community Hall, 8.00 p.m.,

1. Welcome from the Chairman
Bill welcomed all members and guests and then expressed sympathies to the Vaughan family of the death of Dick at the end of 2004, R.I.P.
Mass card proposed Annie , seconded Alice. + Mass Bouquet Action: Bill

2. Secretary Report for 2004
Aims: ' To foster a sense of responsibility to the needs and problems of the local community and to devise programmes of action and development , especially those based on co-operation'.

2004 has seen considerable activity and further good progress for the Community Council.

The Community Council meets on an approximately monthly basis and the minutes are published for all to read on our local website www.ballingarry.net. We want to be 100% transparent and ensure full involvement.

Under the new chairmanship of Bill Martin we have increased focus on our wish list for things to be changed and/or improved in the Parish . To this end we have published and keep updating this list of proposed projects.

We have recognized the need to be in partnership with our local County Councillors and we invited them to attend a meeting early in 2004 , to get their views and enlist their support. We see this involvement as the way forward. I have written to the County Councillors on a number of subjects and John Fahey has responded positively
( in writing ) to all communications.

It is also important to recognize that not all things will be completed overnight but with persistence we will eventually succeed in achieving our objectives. The important thing is to keep the momentum going!

o New Lighting. Four new street lights have been erected on the Commons Road out of Ballingarry Village. These significantly improve safety on the route for both drivers and walkers.
o Maireads/Sullivan Cross. This will become a stepped junction which will mean an end to drivers going straight across on the Mullinahone / Urlingford route. This has been delayed partly due to Jonathan Cooney's illness August / September. We understand that land has been purchased to enable the work to go ahead.
o The Ballingarry Corner. The planned change for this corner will enhance the appearance and improve safety. We are expecting removal of the old wall, the road to be widened as a safety feature, and the remaining area to be designed as a memorial Corner, commemorating the mining community, the people of the parish and the Historic Famine Warhouse.. It will also be an ideal site for tourist signage for the greater Slieveardagh area ( e.g. The scenic route / heritage etc. )
o Footpaths. 2003 saw a new footpath on St Mary's Road. We would like to see this extended in front of the houses on St Marys Road. The next major job is to build a footpath from the village to O'Sullivan Park, to the Community Hall and on to the old group.
This has been taken up by John Fahey at County Council level . Recently , the footpath down to Fr Morris's old house was refurbished. The need for a footpath from the Commons to the Sports Field has also been listed.
o Sight distance improvement work. Several difficult corners have been identified and some work has already been completed on the Copper Cross - Coalbrook road.
o Sheltered housing. This is seen as a long-term project but one that recognizes the need to provide a group of houses for senior citizens from the parish. This project, which would build on best practice from projects elsewhere in the country, would be centrally located, and would address the needs of isolation seen in rural areas.
o Commons Sewage system. Various communications on this subject to/from government departments have triggered needed activity. We had the backing of Senator Noel Coonan and County Councillor John Fahey .The County Council have now indicated full support and money has been allocated for 2005 . It is hoped that progress will be made at last on this long delayed project.
o Speeding. As with many areas of the country we are plagued with cars traveling at high speeds through 50kph zones. We took the initiative to highlight the problem to the Chief Superintendent which resulted in Garda speed checking; this was only a short term measure We have identified several possible traffic calming measures ( e.g. a mini roundabout on the Cashel / Callan road which would be part of the corner development, speed humps/ rumble strips on either side of the schools. ) This is an issue with great support from our County Councillors and we are confidently expecting implementation of some of our proposals.

We have also produced a draft constitution which is now in draft / discussion stage. This will be discussed / developed before being formally adopted this year.

We have also advertised for new members who share the aims as listed above. This was an agreed action ( unanimous ) from our October 11th meeting

3. Treasurers Report
Sr Patricia circulated copies of a/c. Balance in bank Euro 384. Still have cards as assets; some monies outstanding. Sell @ Euro 5/ bundle. Discuss at next meeting.
Outstanding Muintir affiliation .
4. Chairman's outline of plans for 2005
Bill Martin:
Congratulations to GAA club for the field and facilities ; enhances the village.
Thanks to all members for the work in 2004.
Bill asked the County Councillors to thank Jonanthan Cooney ( South Tipp Co Co ) for his cooperation.

Proposing for 2005 the appointing of a number of Sub-committees,

1) Community Alert - This is a Garda project and the previous workers
for one reason or another are unable to continue. Community Alert is part of the Community Council and we need to relaunch this project.

2) Memorial Corner. Need the roads section / housing section in the South Tipp County Council to sort their part out. Foopaths could also be part of this sub committee.

3) Slieveardagh School and cultural committee - The Commons. Recent Curam meeting Des Burke suggested revival of Larry Wall festival ( + other festivals elsewhere in Slieveardagh ) . The sub committee should sort out the old school position.

4) Sheltered housing ( for the elderly ) in the village - Feasibility study. ( see Rosaleen Drew item later )

5) Examination of our resources both human and natural, for instance:
Hobby, Art etc. the idea of a public display in the Community Center,
Tourism - a serviced Site for Camper and Camping - parking ( GAA grounds ?? Carick already do this - idea from Des Burke . Susan pointed out that there are risks.)
Wind, Water and Land resources, their potential.
Tidy Towns, Golden mile idea. etc etc.

5. Commons sewage : this should finally go ahead this year.
6. Graveyard ( not a sub committee ) information …..a parcel of land is being offered to extend the east of the graveyard. Discussion and general agreement. Next meeting item. Proposed : Kathleen Kelly. seconded : Annie.
7. Possible miners museum. ( suggestion from Fr Breen ) Located near the statue in Clashduff.
8. Rosaleen Drew- Muintir na Tire
Rosaleen talked briefly about Muinitir.
Community alert / Muintir involvement : offered help from Liam Kelly , 062 51163, based at head office in Tipperary Town. Muintir has been involve din Community alert for 20 years so there is a lot of experience to call on.
Sheltered housing: a number of different ways of getting involved. The Irish Council for Social Housing can provide guidelines on legal aspects/ management / maintenance/ structure etc. There is a regular newsletter on this subject. Will need a limited company to manage.
Need to copy best practice. Visit existing projects. Tom Fitzgerald ( Munintir ) can advise. Need feasibility study ( as per Bills comments above )
County Council will pay the funds for the building.

Rosaleen passed on details of Rural Social Scheme.
9. Des Burke- Curam Slieveardagh
Des sent apologies for not being able to attend.

7. Letter of support to Scoil Ruane agreed. ( copy given to Susan )
Letter also needed for Ballingarry GAA . To Pat Walton.

8. Community Notes - in local press etc
Susan said she sends all items to the three local papers. ( Kilkenny People, Nationalist, Tipperary Star ) . Padraig said we need central coordination between all groups to all papers. Susan needs the items on time.

9.Date for next meeting
