New Section Straitéis 20 Bliain Don Ghaeilge 2010-2030 (20 Year strategy for the Irish language) The Strategy 2010-2030 promotes a holistic, integrated approach to the Irish language which is consistent with international best practice. Nine areas of action are set out in the Strategy including economic, social, and cultural development policies for the Irish Language and Gaeltacht areas. It contains particular policies for cultural and linguistic initiatives and language-based projects. In this context, particular importance is attached to the preservation and promotion of Irish in the Gaeltacht in relation to conserving and protecting the heritage, culture, and richness of the language where it remains as a household and community language. |

Amend Text The main factors that need to be considered in the preservation of the Irish language (within the context of this land use plan) are demographics, economic factors, facilities, and infrastructure. It is critically important that people have opportunities available to them to use Irish daily in the community outside of the education system. In recent years the Council has been particularly proactive in the promotion of the Gaeltacht areas in Kerry. The Kerry County Council Scéim Gaeilge IV, 2018-2021 aims to promote the provision of services through the Irish language for the people of the Gaeltacht. Such proactive measures are important in ensuring the survival of the Irish language and its associated Gaeltacht culture. It is considered important that facilities be provided which facilitate the teaching of the Irish language to those who desire it. The Council in the performance of its duties pursuant to the Official Languages Act 2003 has drafted its own plan towards providing:
It is the policy of Kerry County Council to support and promote the Tobar Dhuibhne - Plean Teanga Chiarraí Thiar (2018),
The Gaeltacht has a significant cultural and economic impact on the towns which serve it. Similarly, those towns have a significant impact on the Gaeltacht itself. Under the Gaeltacht Act 2012, Kerry County Council actively facilitates those individuals with an intrinsic and economic need to live in the rural Gaeltacht area. Between March 2015 and June 2021, 71.4% of all rural one-off housing planning applications were granted in the Corca Dhuibhne and Uibh Rathaigh Gaeltacht. However, it must be noted that according to the 2016 Census (CSO) there are 2,068 holiday homes in Gaeltacht areas representing 32.5% of Gaeltacht housing stock. In some rural ED’s over 50% of the housing stock comprises of holiday homes. The pressures of such development and associated migration of non-Irish speakers have the potential to affect the viability of the Irish language. |

Amend Text The protection of underwater cultural heritage in all its forms (which includes a range of features, including wrecks, remains of bridges and submerged, or partially submerged, coastal and riverine structures) is a core objective of Kerry County Council in relation to archaeological heritage. Logboats, such as the example from Derryco in the Cashen estuary, have also been previously recorded from the county’s waterways. A number of artefacts have been recovered from watercourses. The Underwater Archaeology Unit (UAU)section of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is engaged in the compilation of an inventory of shipwrecks recorded in Irish waters, including the Kerry Coast. The Wreck Inventory of Ireland Database (WIID)includes all known wrecks over 100 years old and approximately 18,000 records have been compiled and integrated into the shipwreck database thus far. Wrecks 100 or more years old have full legal protection under the National Monuments Acts. They (along with archaeological objects) are automatically protected and generally do not feature in statutory listings (the Record of Monuments and Places and the Register of Historic Monuments). A total of 545 wrecks are recorded in the WIID from County Kerry. The National Monument Service’s Wreck Viewer has been developed to facilitate easy access to the WIID. The Wreck Viewer displays only wrecks for which the Department has a recorded location (approx.22% of total entries in the WIID). Of the wrecks listed for Ireland, most are without exact locations and the records of wrecking pertaining to them date from the 18thcentury or later. Many more previously unknown wrecks therefore await discovery in the coastal waters off Kerry, dating to earlier times but which went unrecorded when lost. |

Amend Objective KCDP 8-22 (i) Secure the preservation in situ of all sites, features, protected wrecks and objects of archaeological interest within the county. In securing such preservation the Council will have regard to the advice and recommendations of the National Monuments Service, Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the National Museum of Ireland, and the County Archaeologist. (ii) Ensure that proposed development (due to location, size, or nature) which may have implications for the archaeological heritage of the county will be subject to an Archaeological Assessment (including Underwater Archaeological Impact Assessment) which may lead to further subsequent archaeological mitigation – buffer zones/exclusion zones, monitoring, pre-development archaeological testing, archaeological excavation and/or refusal of planning permission. This includes areas close to archaeological monuments, development sites which are extensive in area (half hectare or more) or length (1km or more) or include potential impacts on underwater cultural heritage and development that requires an Environmental Impact Assessment. |
