Chapter 5: Rural Housing

 

Tithe Saoire: ní ceart go n-úsáidfí líon na dtithe saoire i mbailte fearainn na Gaeltachta mar chúis ná ligfí do dhuine ón áit tógaint insa bhaile sin. Cothaíonn sé seo easaontais idir lucht na dtithe saoire seo, go bhfáiltíomar riamh rompu, agus cosmhuintir na háite atá ag iarraidh tógaint inniubh. Má tá dearúd déanta, ní hiad muíntir na háite a dhein é ach an Chomhairle a cheadaigh na tithe saoire seo a thógaint an chéad lá riamh agus anois níl sé ceart ná cothrom an dearúd san thógaint orainne, muintir na háite atá ag maireachtaint anso mar a dhein ár sínsir rómhainn.

Holiday Homes: the number of holiday homes in Gaeltacht townlands should not be used as a reason for refusal of planning to local people. Such decisions foster disunity and tensions between holiday home people (whom we have always welcomed) and the local people wishing to build homes for themselves. If mistakes have been made, it is not the local people who made them but the Council who granted permissions for holiday homes in the first place, and the local community should not now be made to pay for those mistakes by being prevented from living in the same place as their ancestors before them.
