Place & story
Turning local ideas into a plan
The Múscraí five-year action plan records how Comharchumann Forbartha Mhúscraí commissioned Donncha Ó Duinnín to prepare it with support from Údarás na Gaeltachta. Its consultation gathered 242 ideas from 81 participants and produced seventy recommendations. Five public meetings included Ballingeary, Cúil Aodha and Kilnamartyra, while language committees in the two Gaeltacht secondary schools also contributed. The recommendations addressed language, culture, enterprise, education and community life. This was a plan for the Múscraí Gaeltacht, whose extent differs from Muskerry West barony. [2]
