Radharcanna .i. views and prospects: le blianta fada anois is iad na radharcanna, nó na views and prospects, ceann dosna cúiseanna is coitianta a chuireann bac ar an nduine áitiúil maireachtaint ina bhaile féin. Braitheann muintir na Gaeltachta go forleathan anois go bhfaigheann radharcanna an turasóra tús áite thar riachtanaisí cónaithe an duine áitiúil agus thar inmharthanacht na teangan sa cheantar. Caithfidh meon na Comhairle ina thaobh so athrú.
Views and Prospects: for many years now ‘views and prospects’ are the most common reason given to local people for refusal of planning permission on their own land. Gaeltacht people now firmly believe that views for the tourist are prioritised over the accommodation requirements of the local person and with total disregard of the language of the area. This mindset of the Council must change.
