THE INAUGURAL CREATIVE IRELAND COUNTY CORK CONFERENCE 2017:
THE CULTURE OF CREATIVITY
Taking Place in the Town Hall, Youghal on Thursday and Friday, 16th and 17th November 2017
The County of Cork is home to a wealth of culture and heritage and a most impressive means of expressing this through a number of creative cultural outputs, ranging from Film, Music and Theatre to Literary and Visual outputs. The Creative Ireland Programme seeks to put culture at the heart of everything we do, and provides the County of Cork a great opportunity to enhance and further promote and encourage the cultural undertakings of the County.
In recognition of such vast culture, as well as the numerous community groups engaging with the Creative Ireland Programme and culture as a whole in the County of Cork, a Conference has been organised by Cork County Council, which examines the essential connection between heritage and art, culture and creativity; by indeed looking at the Culture of Creativity.
Over two days, November 16th and 17th 2017, and located in the historic coastal town of Youghal, the Conference will feature over a dozen top speakers in the realm of culture and creativity. Thursday 16th, commencing at lunch time (13:30), will see talks by Dr. Matt Crannitch; Paul O’Reilly and Ian Wilson with regard to our musical creativity and Eoin Nash, John McHarg, Billy O’Callaghan and Kevin O’Shannahan will deliver presentations on the importance of inclusivity in cultural undertakings. Cork County Council’s Culture Team (with representation across the Arts, Library, Heritage, Tourism and Irish sections of the Council) will also shed light on the cultural activities of Cork County Council and the various supports and initiatives currently in place. The evening, commencing at 19:00, will then see a wonderful conference performance which will include the Youghal Comhaltas Group (CCE Craobh Eochaille); Ian Wilson with Saxophonist Cathal Roche and a performance by Peadar Ó Riada. The following day will see a wonderful morning of talks on Film, Theatre and the Visual Arts and will feature Rossa Mullin, Oonagh Kearney, Mary McGrath, Con Downing, Katie Holly, Geoff Gould, Dr. Eimear O’Connor, Mirandi Driscoll and Ann Davoren. Aileen Murray of Youghal’s Socio-Economic Group will also speak about the historic town of Youghal from a cultural perspective and Tom O’Neill will speak about the cultural importance of Spike Island. The afternoon will then see the engagement of conference participants in a discussion and workshop with Cork County Council’s Arts Strategic Policy Group and Culture Team to assist in the formulation of Cork County’s very first Culture and Creativity Strategy (2018 – 2022). The Conference will close at c. 15:30.

Have Your Say on Boundary Extension.
At a meeting of Cork County Council held in County Hall this week, the elected members approved a proposal which will see Cork County Council making a formal statutory offer to cede lands to Cork City Council. Members were unanimous in their support for the proposal, saying that this approach will hopefully encourage Cork City Council to engage with the County with a view to determining an appropriate and sensible boundary alteration.
The County Mayor, Councillor Declan Hurley, commented:
“Cork County Council’s offer provides for a natural expansion of Cork City. It focuses on transferring areas which have a natural affiliation with the City, while at the same time preserving the integrity of communities in areas such as Ballincollig, Blarney, Carrigtwohill, and rural areas”.
“Cork County Council’s offer provides for a natural expansion of Cork City. It focuses on transferring areas which have a natural affiliation with the City, while at the same time preserving the integrity of communities in areas such as Ballincollig, Blarney, Carrigtwohill, and rural areas”.
The proposal, if implemented, would see a near doubling in the size of the City’s footprint, with Cork City Council becoming responsible for a population of c. 165,000 people (an increase of 31% on their current population). This population transfer equates to almost 40,000 people and would represent the single most significant local authority expansion in the state in recent decades.
The County Mayor continued:
“Cork County Council is determined to bring this matter to a timely conclusion. By taking this initiative, Cork County Council is hopeful that the City Council will engage and enter into discussions with the County on agreeing a way forward. The proposal put forward is sensible and logical, and forms a basis for the two parties to come together to make progress. We will also have the benefit of public consultation. Cork County Council is currently putting the necessary arrangements in place, and more information will follow later this week regarding same.

“I am very mindful of the bigger picture. What I am saying is that we must respect the need to provide certainty to the citizens and businesses across all of Cork in relation to future developments. The future ability of both Councils to provide the highest levels of service across their respective areas should be a key cornerstone, and while there are difficult decisions ahead, I am confident that both Councils will work together to do what is best for the entire Cork region.”

Pat Spillane Ambassador for Action Plan for Rural Development says Boundary Extension is a Land Grab.
The National Conference and AGM of Muintir na Tire was held in Ballacolla County Laois last Saturday and featured a number of high-profile panelists including Kerry legend and GAA pundit Pat Spillane.
Community CCTV and the new app, CÁIRDE, were among the items up for discussion which was held as part of a wider event that was open to the public.
“The event was practical and informative, and appealed greatly to all the community groups, particularly rural ones who attended,” said Niall Garvey, Muintir na Tire CEO.
There was a panel discussion on the issues facing rural communities and their solutions. Legendary Kerry footballer, TV analyst, and Ambassador for the Action Plan for Rural Development Pat Spillane, and Minister Sean Kyne, who has responsibility for rural affairs spoke at the event.
Mr Spillane called for joined up thinking on the the issues facing Rural Ireland by the Government. He welcomed the fact that for the first time Rural Ireland now had a seat at the Cabinet.“The discussion was frank and forthright. In reply to Cork delegates who described the Mackinnon Proposed Boundary proposals as a huge transfer of resources from rural Ireland to Cork City, Mr Spillane said that the proposals were nothing short of a 'land grab' by Cork City Council
There was also a focus on community CCTV. “This is very topical right now, especially with the recent announcement of €3 million in grant aid available, but many groups do not know where to start. “The panel included representatives from An Garda Síochána; a local authority; and a community group that made the journey. This provided a great starting point for any interested group,” said Mr Garvey. CEO Muintir na Tire
“We also had a number of exhibitors, including Muintir community councils and Community Alert groups demonstrating how they have successfully completed their own projects. Several CCTV suppliers had exhibits, as will other service providers, including Pobal, who provided information on the Seniors Alert Scheme – pendant alarms,” said the CEO.
“Muintir na Tire also previewed our new app: CÁIRDE, before its formal launch later this month. It is the new Muintir na Tíre service designed to connect, secure and empower communities. It works on the principles that there is safety in numbers, and people want to help each other.
“It connects local people, family, friends and neighbours so they can provide help and assistance to each other in times of need,” said Mr Garvey.
Muintir National President, Michael Sweeney.said “We are very grateful to our sponsors, Community Finance Ireland, for their support. All in all, there was something for anybody with an interest in community matters”,

How To Build And Grow In Raised Beds -Michael Kelly
How To Build And Grow In Raised Beds
Raise your growing game...
Over the last few years I’ve noticed a definite snootiness about using raised beds for growing food, which I find ridiculous. It’s almost like if you are not out there double digging your soil and breaking your back to suffer for your vegetables then it’s considered cheating. Personally I am all for the occasional cheat if it helps me to grow better veggies or helps me to grow them with less time and effort expended.
Generally speaking you need a good spade’s depth of quality top soil in order to grow good veggies. Unfortunately GIYers now face twin barriers to this approach – poor soil depth/quality in their garden, and lack of time to spend improving the soil quality. In most housing estates in Ireland for example the ‘soil’ was created by departing builders throwing a miserly inch-thick layer of top soil on top of the builder’s rubble – not the most promising growing medium.
A “raised bed” is created by adding a good layer (at least a foot) of soil on top of the existing soil, usually using a frame of timber to keep the soil in place. Instead of digging down in to the soil therefore, you are effectively raising the level of it up by a foot. The raised bed is therefore an ingenious cheat to provide, good quality, deep, fertile soil that’s perfect for planting. It goes without saying that if you are blessed with good quality, deep soil in your garden and plenty of time for digging, then you don’t need raised beds. But if you don’t, by bringing good quality soil in to raised beds in your garden, you can start growing promising veggies instantly.
They have a number of other benefits. Typically, you don’t ever stand on the soil which means less soil compaction and therefore better drainage (the soil will dry out quicker). They also tend to extend the growing season because the soil in raised beds warms up earlier than the soil around it. You can therefore start planting earlier in the season. The dreaded slugs tend to be less of an issue too because they face more barriers to get in to the bed.
When it comes to the shape and look of your raised beds you can let your imagination run riot, but don’t sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. I went nuts a few years back making triangular-shaped beds – they looked lovely but were highly impractical. The important thing to remember is that you are not supposed to be walking on the soil at any point, so you must be able to reach in to the centre of the bed from the sides. A 4ft (1.2m) wide bed is therefore considered ideal because the centre of the bed can be reached from both sides (depending how long your arms are I guess!). The beds should be a minimum of 25cm deep. You can go deeper if you want (even up to waist height) - deeper beds have the advantage of being easier to work at (no stooping etc) but they drain very quickly and are therefore difficult to keep watered in summer. You also need a serious load of soil to fill them.
A typical argument against raised beds is their cost. In reality you can spend as much or as little as you want. You can buy raised beds or make them yourself from old scaffolding planks or salvaged timber.
The Basics – 5 Step Plan to Make Raised Beds
A simple 5-step plan to put raised beds on to a lawn is as follows:
1. Measure out the lengths of wood needed, cut them to size and nail them together.
2. Support from the inside using wooden pegs, then nail the planks to the pegs for support.
3. Place a thick layer of wet cardboard or newspaper at the bottom to kill off grass and weeds.
4. Fill with alternating layers of manure/compost and top soil. A mix of about 60 per cent soil and 40 per cent compost would be ideal.
5. Fill the beds to within about 10cm of the top so that the sides of the bed act as a windbreak.
Autumn is a great time to put in raised beds. If you get them built in the autumn and early winter and filled with soil and compost, you can cover them down for the rest of the winter so that they will be bursting with nutrients and ready for planting next spring.
You can buy top soil in garden centres but it will be expensive. Specialist soil mix providers like Enrich sell larger quantities (1-tonne bags). Ask at your local GIY group, gardening club, or allotment organisation. Failing that, keep an eye on local papers. Ask to see the soil before it’s delivered - you do not want a lorry load of subsoil full of stones and weeds.
