UPDATE: Páirc Uile Aimseartha – All-Weather Pitch
Update: The application for funding for the All-Weather Pitch which has been applied for by an comharchumann has as yet, not been approved by the Department. The development of the pitch is one of the Development Projects detailed in the Arranmore Development Plan.
The addition of the pitch will be of tremendous benefit to the entire community and students and staff of Gairmscoil Mhic Diarmada.
Funding of Project
As with most funding applications, a substantial percentage of funding for community projects must be collected from the community. In this instance, 20% of the overall cost which amounts to €70,000 must be provided by the community. Contractors who previously tendered for the contract have recently been requested to re-submit their tenders as costs have fallen considerably since the initial tenders were made. Should the revised tenders be less than the original prices, the community contribution will in turn be reduced.
Location of Pitch
The committee of an comharchumann agreed to provide the grounds at the Baile Saoire for the project. It was decided to support the Gairmscoil’s proposal, by means of applying for funding, and by organising and participating in fund raising activities.
Lodgements
An Comharchumann has opened a PO account in the name of ‘Páirc Uile-Aimseartha’ and all funds raised by an comharchumann to date have been deposited into the account.
The account number is 2668880483 for anyone wishing to make a donation.
To date, an comharchumann fundraising activities has raised €4141.51
Further Fundraising
A sponsored walk will take place on Wednesday 15 September to raise funds for the pitch. Anyone wishing to support the walk can do so by providing sponsorship or by taking part in the walk.

Arranmore Island Development Plan
RTE NEWS COVERAGE OF LAUNCH
www.rte.ie/news/2008/0912/arranmore.html
Arranmore Development Plan Launched
Eileen Magnier
The people of Arranmore Island off the coast of Donegal have launched a new development plan for the island. Residents of Ireland's second most populated island have warned that unless co-ordinated action is taken at all levels then Arranmore's future looks very much like its past.
The plan highlights the positive assets of the island including its natural beauty and the progress made in areas like waste management. However, it also highlights a number of serious problems including its declining population, high unemployment and a decline in the Irish language. There has been a steady fall in the population which now stands at 522 with most young people leaving as soon as they can for further education and better job opportunities. A quarter of islanders are unemployed and there is 56% male unemployment. Traditional fishing and agriculture have declined significantly. The age profile of islanders is increasing and there is a high dependency on social welfare and other state supports.
The level of fluency in the Irish language has dropped to 55% but the island's Co-op says there is great interest in the community in making Irish the main language of the island once again and they hope to employ an Irish officer to progress that.
The plan launched today, is described as a road-map for the future of the island which islanders themselves want to be part of implementing but they say they also need State support to make the plan a reality. They have identified nine areas to be addressed including the development of tourism and renewable energy projects and support for fishing and agriculture. Islanders say support is needed from State agencies to achieve their plan and Údaras na Gaeltachta Chairman Liam O'Cuinneagáin said he is optimistic the government will give its support. He said it is particularly important at times like this that we focus on creating employment and encouraging entrepreneurship.

5 Year Development Plan Launched
COMHARCHUMANN OILEÁN ÁRAINN MHÓIR TEO LAUNCHES 5 YEAR STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ARRANMORE ISLAND
Comharchumann Oileán Árainn Mhóir Teo presented its five-year strategic development plan for Arranmore Island on Friday 12th September 2008. The plan was launched by Liam Ó Cuinneagáin, Chairman, Údarás na Gaeltachta in the Arranmore Enterprise Centre at 1:15pm.
The island development plan, which was compiled by planning and development consultants Canavan Associates Ltd., aims to tackle some of the issues highlighted in the earlier socio-economic survey of the island community in 2006. This new plan updates the 1994 – 1999 island development plan, also prepared by Canavan Associates, from which many worthwhile community initiatives on the island got their start. The plan was generously supported by Údarás na Gaeltachta.
The 2008 plan looks at changes on the island since the last development plan, what has been achieved, the challenges facing the island, and opportunities for future development. Delivering the Plan effectively will require a partnership approach among members of the island community, An Comharchumann and supporting agencies. It is essential that all these partners share the plan's vision and communicate with one another to achieve the actions set out.
