Tá dhá phríomhchuspóir pobail ag Coiste Forbartha Ros Muc (CFRM):

Linn Snámh atá ann cheana a fhorbairt/athbheochan agus Páirc Pobail/Pháirc Bheag a fhorbairt in aice leis an Ionad Fiontar (Cill Bhriocáin)

Coiste Forbartha Ros Muc (CFRM - Ros Muc Community Development Committee) has two main community objectives:

Developing/revitalising the existing Linn Snámh (Swimming Pool) and developing the Páirc Bheag Community Park beside the Ionad Fiontar at CIll Bhriocáin.

Maoiniú / Funding

Beidh CFRM ag cur isteach ar mhaoiniú poiblí don dá thionscadal, ach tá an chuid is mó den mhaoiniú ró-shuibscríofa agus d'fhéadfadh go mbeadh moill ar na tionscadail ar feadh na mblianta, agus is é sin an fáth go bhfuilimid ag lorg síntiúis, chun cistí a bhailiú ionas gur féidir linn dul ar aghaidh leis na pleananna trí mhaoiniú a dhéanamh orthu féin. Meastar go mbeidh costais chomhcheangailte an tionscadail os cionn €300k.

CFRM will be applying for public funding for both projects, however most funding is oversubscribed and the projects may be delayed for years, this is why we are appealing for donations, to gather funds so we can press ahead with the plans by funding it on our own. It is anticipated the combined project costs will be upwards of €300k.

Céim 1 /Stage 1

Is Staidéar Féidearthachta an chéad chéim don Pháirc Bheag agus don Linn Snámh, agus deirtear linn go mbeidh sé thart ar €30k an ceann.

The initial stage for the Páirc Bheag and the Linn Snámh is a Feasibility Study, which we are informed will be approximately €30k each.

Forbhreathnú ar an Tionscadal / Project Overview

Linn Snámh (Tidal Swimming Pool):

Tá linn snámha taoide i Ros Muc ó thús na 1940idí. Tá cuimhní cinn ag go leor againn ar snámh ann nó ar fhoghlaim snámh ann. Le 30 bliain anuas, tá an linn snámha tite i léig agus tá gá le hathchóiriú. Caithfear í a dhraenáil, smionagar a bhaint, comhlaí draenála a athsholáthar, geataí taoide a athsholáthar, na seomraí feistis a athchóiriú agus go leor bearta sábháilteachta eile a chur i bhfeidhm. Is é an sprioc an áis phobail seo a chur ar fáil do mhuintir na háite agus do chuairteoirí araon.

Ros Muc has had a tidal swimming pool since the early 1940’s. Many of us have fond memories of swimming there or learning to swim there. Over the last 30 years, the pool has fallen into disrepair and is in need of refurbishment. It will have to be drained, have debris removed, drainage valves replaced, tidal gates replaced, refurbishment to the changing rooms and many other safety measures put into place. The goal is to make this community amenity available for both locals and visitors.

Páirc Bheag (Community Commemoration Area)

Is spás pobail é an Pháirc Bheag inar féidir le daoine siúlóidí sábháilte a dhéanamh, aclaíocht a dhéanamh lasmuigh, freastal ar imeachtaí lasmuigh agus a bheith ina áit chun cuid de dhaoine cáiliúla Ros Muc a chomóradh. Tá stair fhada ag Ros Muc maidir le scríbhneoirí/filí/daoine spóirt a bhfuil cáil idirnáisiúnta orthu a tháirgeadh nó daoine spreagúla a thagann chuig an gceantar. Ba é Ros Muc áit a bunaíodh ár stáisiún raidió Gaeilge reatha, Raidió na Gaeltacht, nuair a craoladh an chéad stáisiún raidió bradach Gaeilge i 1971. I measc roinnt scríbhneoirí tá Sean Phadraic Ó Conaire, Padraic Óg Ó Conaire, Padraic Mac Piarais, scríbhneoir agus amhránaí Caitlín Maude, fear/dornálaí spóirt Seán Mannion (John Phateen Tom), agus scríbhneoir agus réabhlóidí Colm Ó Gaora.

The Páirc Bheag is to be a community space where people can go for safe walks, outdoor exercise, attend outdoor events and be a place to commemorate some of Ros Muc’s famous people. Ros Muc has a long history of producing writers/poets/sports people who are known internationally or inspiring people who come to the area. Ros Muc was the founding place of our current Irish language radio station, Radio na Gaeltachta, when in 1971 the first Irish language pirate radio station was broadcast. Among some of our writers are Sean -Phadraic Ó Conaire, Padraic Óg Ó Conaire, Padraic Mac Piarais, writer and singer Caitlín Maude, sports man/boxer Sean Mannion (John Phateen Tom), and writer and revolutionary Colm Ó Gaora.
