Welcome to An Carraig, Arranmore’s latest newsletter.

Failte Romhat go dti an Carraig

The newsletter is to promote the island activities with a focus on its survival and Future Job Opportunities. The
newsletter will promote community events, stories and an update for islanders at home and abroad so that we
can remain attached wherever we are. We hope it will be a one stop shop for people interested in Arran, its way
of life and promoting its future.
The newsletter will include stories from abroad that may help the promotion of Arran and its longevity. It will link
in with out, and out with in. Contact sgallagher@syspro.ie or 00353 85 8555792 or fb Shirley atsyspro
The plan is that this will be issued on a quarterly basis and at present it is self funded by
Shirley Gallagher, Adrian Begley and Paula Killeen. However, donations are gratefully accepted.

Arran
has
lost
1000
people
in 100
years

1000 people in 100 years.
This is not a unique problem we have alone, it is a
global phenomenon. People go to where the jobs
are. The jobs are in cities
in Dublin, Glasgow, Chicago and London and Arran
people are scattered all
over the globe. In fact we
flock like geese to the
same areas for generations, following in our Fathers, Grandfathers and
Great Grandfathers footsteps.
The comedian
Tommy Tiernan, describes
it well when he speaks of
the Irish invading countries with a 6 pack, a
sleeping bag and ‘the
start’. We are bred to go.
Your children are next,
mine has already gone.
Times have changed,
nowadays we go away
with an education yet we
still have the island resilience, where we will go
anywhere, do anything
and talk to anyone.
These are skills not everyone possesses; we as a
people are adaptable.
The island is turning into a
holiday resort, a quaint
hideaway to get away
from it all for some, and
for others to live it up,
whilst its islanders get older. I came home to record the stories, before

they are lost forever. In
July alone there were 4
funerals on the island. In
August the opportunity Io
revive Arran using the
sustainable platform was
a possibility, if I stuck my
neck out. I did.
On November the 3rd, I
made a statement that if
we continue as we have
done; we will continue to
get what we always have.
We will have less than
300 living here in the
next 20 years if we continue on the path we are
on. Yet there are people
that would love to come
home, to raise their family in a safe, secure environment.
I asked the
question, can Arran
change? Does it want to?
I asked the question can
we pull together to create
a vibrant community, that
will benefit all?
In November, I received
a resounding Yes, lets do
something
positive.
Many Islanders supported
the future jobs initiative
by writing a letter of support as have a number of
academic institutions, industry, Donegal County
Council, our local authority and elected politicians.

There are in excess of
130 letters at present
with more expected as
islanders return home
for the holidays.
A
copy of a draft letter
can be obtained from
Ionad an Chrois Bhealaigh.
To date there
have been 3 meetings
(3rd, 21st and 28th November), with action
plans listed both here
and on facebook.
I
personally would like to
thank both co-ops for
the use of the venues
and also to those who
participated and attended the meetings.
The idea of working
together to form a sustainable island will take
time and agreement
from islanders. It is a
beacon of hope. It is
fragile like all new projects so it needs tending, but let’s build on it,
le cheile.

Childrens’ Christmas Party
I went to the Christmas
party for the kids at Ionad
an Chrois Bhealaigh.
I
started a kids Xmas party,
19 years ago, with Margaret Baoille, Mary, Anne
and Bernadette Boyle because I wanted Elaina to
see Santa and the only
ones who had a party
then was the senior citizens. Angela donated a
gift from Alaska that
couldn’t be found in Ire-

land at the time, its still
on the go.
We raised
enough money in the first
year to have another party the following year.
That tradition has continued as various Moms have
managed the party down
through the years and the
money is still a year
ahead.

of these services, we can
ill afford to lose anyone

of the banning of

The Fishermen continue to be cautiously optimistic that a
satisfactory conclusion will come out of
the many years of
hard work carried
out by a few dedicated men. The issue of the ban on
'Area 6a' which effectively saw all the
island boats having
to target only two
species - crab and
lobster - has been

relaxed. This relaxation of the rules
has come about
because of the persistence of the Islands committee,
which has seen the
group meet with
MEPs from many
countries.
The
group met with the

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
The global economy is
changing, jobs are changing, and life is changing at
a rapid pace. This year’s
top 10 companies didn’t
exist 10 years ago and the
flip side of the coin is that
many jobs that were popular 10 years ago are now
non existent. There will
be job roles like the little

match girl from the Victorian times that will be unheard of in years to come.
As many manufacturing
jobs and now servicing
jobs have moved to China
and other Eastern countries, it is apparent we
need to create our own
opportunities. We need to
be able to adapt to the
new environment as Dar-

The King of Arranmore
On Sunday 4th August Edward
Boyle “Smiler” was crowned the
first King of Arranmore. In a landslide victory Edward received
59.8% of the votes. Edward “84”

very popular islander who was widowed at a young age and raised
three children. He is known for his
good humour, friendliness and is
an overall gem of a man. He loves
to collect dulce and carrageen

Arranmore is in a position
to lead the way, to think

Killeens organised the election and
274 votes were cast throughout the

month of July. There was great excitement on the day of the crowning
ceremony and Hugh Rodgers acted
as MC. The ceremony started with a
touching slideshow compiled by
Hugh O’Donnell. The Arranmore
Pipe Band played together with local
musicians Anne Conaghan, Jamie

through all day. It was a heartwarming event filled with community spirit. Long Live the King!

CREATING FUTURE JOB OPPORTUNITIES
It has been decided that
Arran wants a future, not
the one that was predicted, a resort but one with
a vibrant community and
a smart economy.
We have an educated
workforce, many multi
lingual, all English speaking.
We have skilled,
knowledgeable, creative
people. Many are scattered throughout the
globe but would return if
there was a place to live

and work on the island.
We have a
stunning environment
to live in but also to
harness energy from,
ensuring we are no
longer reliant on imported fuel. We are
working towards this
future with the help
of SMILEGOV.
We

Our industries, the tourist, fishing and farming sectors
are in need of help, we need to enable them to build

future.

John Walsh from Bere Island will visit on Saturday
26th January 2014 at Ionad
an Chrois Bhealaigh to discuss and share his experiences on creating and running an island council. It is
hoped that this will lead to
open and frank discussion
on the topic, of creating an
island council.
It is proposed that the is-

land council will be based on
Muntir na Tire council concept
(www.muintir.ie). This movement that was set up in 1937, it
was designed to raise the
standard of living of rural Ireland in social, economic, cultural and recreational based on
participation of people themselves to promote the welfare
of their own community.

VISION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SMILEGOV PROJECT
An Intelligent Energy Europe
funded initiative called SMILEGOV, is bringing together
a raft of islands it is proposed
that we as islands work together to create a model that
can be replicated in other
rural coastal regions. As we
have the potential to produce
renewable energy using
wind, wave, tidal and solar.
The project is bringing together islanders, government
agencies, trainers and investors bringing everyone

around the table. By investing in the green economy,
we can build something together faster and further
together.

My vision, which sits in the
community centre, has a
place we can live, work and
play together.
It is a sustainable future that is possible today. It shows a sense
of security in growing our
own food, creating energy,

using it wisely, creating jobs
and a place to have fun.

My objective as part of the
SMILEGOV project is for the
island to become an innovation hub, using our connections, and using the energy
generated on the island to
create employment.
I am
proposing that we examine
using the energy to grow
food for home use and for
market and processing local

produce, marketing and branding as one. This will create a
vibrant community that will be a
beacon for those wanting to live
in a safe and caring environment. I want to nurture the
care, craft and culture of our
island. I want to work together
for a shared and lasting prosperity for Arranmore.

What is a Sustainable Community? 
The definition of what is a
sustainable community has
been taken from SEAI
‘Guidelines for a Sustainable Community and related
back to the island by Shirley
Gallagher.
This is available from their site
www.seai.ie but also on the
facebook group sustainable islands, under files as is other
important documentation.
It should be a sustainable
energy zone-a specific geographical area. As Arran is

an island, our geographical

boundary is obvious.
This
should allow others to become
aware of the idea and allow us
to become a test site for innovative products.
An example is the KickTrike.
This is still in testing phase;
however we are currently in
talks to produce the product on
Arran and also to use them.
We are hoping it will be a disruptive
innovation
is
an innovation that disrupts, improves and replaces an existing
product over time in unexpected ways. The KickTrike
will be demonstrated at the upcoming event in Howth Yacht
Club ‘Ammunition for Success’
where Dr Shirley Gallagher and
Mr Axel Pohle, colleagues at
Irish Radio International
(www.irishradiointernational.co
m) will discuss how Arran is
leading the flock in sustainable

communities on the 9th January 2014. A demonstration on the island, including
a visit to the braes, School,
Glen, Jimmy Ward’s and
Barr an Baile Mor will be
hosted by SysPro;Systems
for Progress Limited on the
10th January 2014.
It should cover all aspects of society, residential,
educational,
commercial and public.
Stakeholders are from
all sectors, private and
public.
Many members of Arranmore society have received notification of the
SMILEGOV initiative, many
have returned their letters
of support and others are
encouraged to engage,
question and support initiative. Using face to face
meetings as well as the use
of social media has been
critical. It is believed that
the diaspora are part of the
solution, where many would
chose to return home if
work was available. As a
result they have been included in the consultation.
It should have strong
stakeholder community
commitment.
Ensure
momentum is maintained and improved.
Working on the council idea
came about from Shirley’s

visit to Scandinavia
and discussion of
their best practises.
Bere Island, Co Cork
created their council
in 2004. John Walsh,
Chairman
of
Comhdhaill will visit
Arranmore on Saturday 25th January 2014
to share his experience on Bere and on
the creation of the
West Cork Islands initiative. We would encourage everyone to
attend the meeting
that is interested in
creating a united and
fairer society in Arranmore.
It must have a defined management
structure and process.
This is where the
need for a council of
island representatives
is critical. It is perceived that we will
have a representative
for every 20 persons.
It has been proposed
that the townlands
and business sectors
should be represented as well as the educational and health
establishments.

that all islanders will
support this initiative
on the 28th by agreeing to the pact of islands by writing a

Towards an Excellent Ireland, Ar Aghaidh Linn
Tangible Ireland was established in 2001 to provide support services to both indigenous start up enterprises and
foreign direct investment (FDI).
From the beginning at Tangible
we had a significant interest
and commitment to corporate
social responsibility (CSR) with
particular focus on community
empowerment, Social Enterprise and Cross Community
and Cross Border projects.
Since the fiscal crisis on 2008,
Tangible’s CSR activities have
further evolved into promoting
thought leadership around the
core values of collaborative
leadership, shared excellence
and the concept of ‘pay it forward!’
Tangible is positive in its outlook and pragmatic in its approach. We seek to add value
through our interventions and
to provide a beacon of leadership and inspiration for those
with passion and talent in the
battle for a positive future.

In early 2009, we initiated
the Tangible Leadership series bringing together a diverse collection of intellects
and advocates to face the
challenges of creating an
improved Ireland. With a
global network of over 1000
followers/contributors keen
to participate in Tangible
debate which is restriction
free, positive and pragmatic, we visit venues from Belfast to Sydney, Ballyhoura
to New York.
2014,
begins
with
‘Ammunition for Success’ in Howth on January
9th at the Yacht Club. Our
theme is based on centenary of the Howth Gun
Running in 1914, which was
the precursor to the Easter
Rising in 1916.
It was through Linkedin
that we heard of Shirley
Gallagher’s endeavours to
bring a more sustainable

economy to Arainn Mhor.
Her ideas about cultivating indigenous enterprise,
championing the fishing
industry and creating a
greater connectivity between island communities
around the world resonate well with our Tangible values.
We have
highlighted her work recently in the London Irish
Centre hosting the seminar ‘London, Our friend in
Europe’ in November
2013. We look forward
to hearing from Shirley in
Howth in January where
many will empathise with
her passion for positive
intervention in coastal
communities.
Ar Aghaidh Linn!

  • 1. Welcome to An Carraig, Arranmore’s latest newsletter. Failte Romhat go dti an Carraig The newsletter is to promote the island activities with a focus on its survival and Future Job Opportunities. The newsletter will promote community events, stories and an update for islanders at home and abroad so that we can remain attached wherever we are. We hope it will be a one stop shop for people interested in Arran, its way of life and promoting its future. The newsletter will include stories from abroad that may help the promotion of Arran and its longevity. It will link in with out, and out with in. Contact sgallagher@syspro.ie or 00353 85 8555792 or fb Shirley atsyspro The plan is that this will be issued on a quarterly basis and at present it is self funded by Shirley Gallagher, Adrian Begley and Paula Killeen.

  • 2. An Carraig Page 2 Are you willing to join the flock? Continued from front page Arran has lost 1000 people in 100 years 1000 people in 100 years. This is not a unique problem we have alone, it is a global phenomenon. People go to where the jobs are. The jobs are in cities in Dublin, Glasgow, Chicago and London and Arran people are scattered all over the globe. In fact we flock like geese to the same areas for generations, following in our Fathers, Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers footsteps. The comedian Tommy Tiernan, describes it well when he speaks of the Irish invading countries with a 6 pack, a sleeping bag and ‘the start’. We are bred to go. Your children are next, mine has already gone. Times have changed, nowadays we go away with an education yet we still have the island resilience, where we will go anywhere, do anything and talk to anyone. These are skills not everyone possesses; we as a people are adaptable. The island is turning into a holiday resort, a quaint hideaway to get away from it all for some, and for others to live it up, whilst its islanders get older. I came home to record the stories, before they are lost forever. In July alone there were 4 funerals on the island. In August the opportunity Io revive Arran using the sustainable platform was a possibility, if I stuck my neck out. I did. On November the 3rd, I made a statement that if we continue as we have done; we will continue to get what we always have. We will have less than 300 living here in the next 20 years if we continue on the path we are on. Yet there are people that would love to come home, to raise their family in a safe, secure environment. I asked the question, can Arran change? Does it want to? I asked the question can we pull together to create a vibrant community, that will benefit all? In November, I received a resounding Yes, lets do something positive. Many Islanders supported the future jobs initiative by writing a letter of support as have a number of academic institutions, industry, Donegal County Council, our local authority and elected politicians. There are in excess of 130 letters at present with more expected as islanders return home for the holidays. A copy of a draft letter can be obtained from Ionad an Chrois Bhealaigh. To date there have been 3 meetings (3rd, 21st and 28th November), with action plans listed both here and on facebook. I personally would like to thank both co-ops for the use of the venues and also to those who participated and attended the meetings. The idea of working together to form a sustainable island will take time and agreement from islanders. It is a beacon of hope. It is fragile like all new projects so it needs tending, but let’s build on it, le cheile.

I started a kids Xmas party, 19 years ago, with Margaret Baoille, Mary, Anne and Bernadette Boyle because I wanted Elaina to see Santa and the only ones who had a party then was the senior citizens. Angela donated a gift from Alaska that couldn’t be found in Ire- land at the time, its still on the go. We raised enough money in the first year to have another party the following year. That tradition has continued as various Moms have managed the party down through the years and the money is still a year ahead.

The impact of the banning of salmon fishing cannot be underestimated and the group continue the fight which has lasted close on seven years. The group have made two separate presentations to the Joint Oireachtas Committee and are currently awaiting the draft report. The Fishermen continue to be cautiously optimistic that a satisfactory conclusion will come out of the many years of hard work carried out by a few dedicated men. The issue of the ban on 'Area 6a' which effectively saw all the island boats having to target only two species - crab and lobster - has been relaxed. This relaxation of the rules has come about because of the persistence of the Islands committee, which has seen the group meet with MEPs from many countries. The group met with the European commissioner and again through hard work and countless hours of lobbying a very satisfactory amendment and commitment to sustain island life was introduced, which in the long term will have huge benefits to the Island. win explained evolution is the survival of the fittest. values which are based on principles handed down for generations. We are a place apart; I believe it is because we are on the edge, of Ireland, Europe and the world, allowing for more diversity and ingenuity. We hope to report on the Oireachtas Committee on the next issue of the newsletter. Jerry Early Spokesperson. THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL The global economy is changing, jobs are changing, and life is changing at a rapid pace. This year’s top 10 companies didn’t exist 10 years ago and the flip side of the coin is that many jobs that were popular 10 years ago are now non existent. There will be job roles like the little match girl from the Victorian times that will be unheard of in years to come. As many manufacturing jobs and now servicing jobs have moved to China and other Eastern countries, it is apparent we need to create our own opportunities. We need to be able to adapt to the new environment as Dar- The King of Arranmore On Sunday 4th August Edward Boyle “Smiler” was crowned the first King of Arranmore. In a landslide victory Edward received 59.8% of the votes. Edward “84” known to everyone as “Smiler” is a very popular islander who was widowed at a young age and raised three children. He is known for his good humour, friendliness and is an overall gem of a man. He loves to collect dulce and carrageen Arranmore is in a position to lead the way, to think with our heads, feel with our hearts and work with our hands. We have a strong sense of place; we know who we are in a world that has lost its way. We have shared moss from the shore and regularly hands it out to visitors and locals. His hard working hands still have the craft and skills they’ve had all his life as you can see the stone walls he and his best friend Paddy built recently outside his house. There must be royalty in the genes as his granddaughter Aine Rodgers represented Oilean Mary in this years Mary from Dungloe International Festival. Killeens organised the election and 274 votes were cast throughout the month of July. There was great excitement on the day of the crowning ceremony and Hugh Rodgers acted as MC. The ceremony started with a touching slideshow compiled by Hugh O’Donnell. The Arranmore Pipe Band played together with local musicians Anne Conaghan, Jamie Neeson, Paddy Gallagher and Connie McCauley. Smiler’s genuine character and good nature shone through all day. It was a heartwarming event filled with community spirit. Long Live the King! Paula Killeen

We have an educated workforce, many multi lingual, all English speaking. We have skilled, knowledgeable, creative people. Many are scattered throughout the globe but would return if there was a place to live and work on the island. We have a stunning environment to live in but also to harness energy from, ensuring we are no longer reliant on imported fuel. We are working towards this future with the help of SMILEGOV. We have a strong social capital, connections and a trust that is there due to shared values. gotop7 to Our industries, the tourist, fishing and farming sectors are in need of help, we need to enable them to build an infrastructure in order to create higher value stock and produce. We need a modern communication link with the rest of the world. We need jobs both highly skilled and manual in order to ensure the island has a future.

John Walsh from Bere Island will visit on Saturday 26th January 2014 at Ionad an Chrois Bhealaigh to discuss and share his experiences on creating and running an island council. It is hoped that this will lead to open and frank discussion on the topic, of creating an island council. It is proposed that the is- land council will be based on Muntir na Tire council concept (www.muintir.ie). This movement that was set up in 1937, it was designed to raise the standard of living of rural Ireland in social, economic, cultural and recreational based on participation of people themselves to promote the welfare of their own community. Objectives of Council ISLAND COUNCIL spirit of community service, neighbourliness and self reliance in working for the common good. To promote the welfare of the Irish people through an organisation that is non party political and non sectional. To foster a sense of responsibility to the needs and problems of the local community and to devise programmes of action and development particularly those based on co-operation. To unite Irish communities in a VISION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SMILEGOV PROJECT An Intelligent Energy Europe funded initiative called SMILEGOV, is bringing together a raft of islands it is proposed that we as islands work together to create a model that can be replicated in other rural coastal regions. As we have the potential to produce renewable energy using wind, wave, tidal and solar. The project is bringing together islanders, government agencies, trainers and investors bringing everyone around the table. By investing in the green economy, we can build something together faster and further together. My vision, which sits in the community centre, has a place we can live, work and play together. It is a sustainable future that is possible today. It shows a sense of security in growing our own food, creating energy, using it wisely, creating jobs and a place to have fun. My objective as part of the SMILEGOV project is for the island to become an innovation hub, using our connections, and using the energy generated on the island to create employment. I am proposing that we examine using the energy to grow food for home use and for market and processing local produce, marketing and branding as one. This will create a vibrant community that will be a beacon for those wanting to live in a safe and caring environment. I want to nurture the care, craft and culture of our island. I want to work together for a shared and lasting prosperity for Arranmore.
  • 8. An Carraig Page 8 What is a Sustainable Community?  The definition of what is a sustainable community has been taken from SEAI ‘Guidelines for a Sustainable Community and related back to the island by Shirley Gallagher. This is available from their site www.seai.ie but also on the facebook group sustainable islands, under files as is other important documentation. It should be a sustainable energy zone-a specific geographical area. As Arran is an island, our geographical boundary is obvious. This should allow others to become aware of the idea and allow us to become a test site for innovative products. An example is the KickTrike. This is still in testing phase; however we are currently in talks to produce the product on Arran and also to use them. We are hoping it will be a disruptive innovation is an innovation that disrupts, improves and replaces an existing product over time in unexpected ways. The KickTrike will be demonstrated at the upcoming event in Howth Yacht Club ‘Ammunition for Success’ where Dr Shirley Gallagher and Mr Axel Pohle, colleagues at Irish Radio International (www.irishradiointernational.co m) will discuss how Arran is leading the flock in sustainable communities on the 9th January 2014. A demonstration on the island, including a visit to the braes, School, Glen, Jimmy Ward’s and Barr an Baile Mor will be hosted by SysPro;Systems for Progress Limited on the 10th January 2014. It should cover all aspects of society, residential, educational, commercial and public. Stakeholders are from all sectors, private and public. Many members of Arranmore society have received notification of the SMILEGOV initiative, many have returned their letters of support and others are encouraged to engage, question and support initiative. Using face to face meetings as well as the use of social media has been critical. It is believed that the diaspora are part of the solution, where many would chose to return home if work was available. As a result they have been included in the consultation. It should have strong stakeholder community commitment. Ensure momentum is maintained and improved. Working on the council idea came about from Shirley’s visit to Scandinavia and discussion of their best practises. Bere Island, Co Cork created their council in 2004. John Walsh, Chairman of Comhdhaill will visit Arranmore on Saturday 25th January 2014 to share his experience on Bere and on the creation of the West Cork Islands initiative. We would encourage everyone to attend the meeting that is interested in creating a united and fairer society in Arranmore. It must have a defined management structure and process. This is where the need for a council of island representatives is critical. It is perceived that we will have a representative for every 20 persons. It has been proposed that the townlands and business sectors should be represented as well as the educational and health establishments.

The feasibility report will include a baseline energy study to ensure we know where we started from in terms of energy. We need to create and aim for SMART (specific, measurable, accurate, realistic and timely) targets that are integrated into our society with energy efficient projects and a sustainable energy supply. It must be replicable and a good practise study This is to allow others to follow our example and benefit from our knowledge and learning experiences. This will provide a flow of people to the island, eco tourists eager to learn how they can do the same. Other places such as Samso, Denmark, Orkneys, Scotland and Gussing, Austria have found this to be the case but also it has led to an increase in population and job opportunities.

An Carraig Page 10 Towards an Excellent Ireland, Ar Aghaidh Linn Tangible Ireland was established in 2001 to provide support services to both indigenous start up enterprises and foreign direct investment (FDI). From the beginning at Tangible we had a significant interest and commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) with particular focus on community empowerment, Social Enterprise and Cross Community and Cross Border projects. Since the fiscal crisis on 2008, Tangible’s CSR activities have further evolved into promoting thought leadership around the core values of collaborative leadership, shared excellence and the concept of ‘pay it forward!’ Tangible is positive in its outlook and pragmatic in its approach. We seek to add value through our interventions and to provide a beacon of leadership and inspiration for those with passion and talent in the battle for a positive future. In early 2009, we initiated the Tangible Leadership series bringing together a diverse collection of intellects and advocates to face the challenges of creating an improved Ireland. With a global network of over 1000 followers/contributors keen to participate in Tangible debate which is restriction free, positive and pragmatic, we visit venues from Belfast to Sydney, Ballyhoura to New York. 2014, begins with ‘Ammunition for Success’ in Howth on January 9th at the Yacht Club. Our theme is based on centenary of the Howth Gun Running in 1914, which was the precursor to the Easter Rising in 1916. It was through Linkedin that we heard of Shirley Gallagher’s endeavours to bring a more sustainable economy to Arainn Mhor. Her ideas about cultivating indigenous enterprise, championing the fishing industry and creating a greater connectivity between island communities around the world resonate well with our Tangible values. We have highlighted her work recently in the London Irish Centre hosting the seminar ‘London, Our friend in Europe’ in November 2013. We look forward to hearing from Shirley in Howth in January where many will empathise with her passion for positive intervention in coastal communities. Ar Aghaidh Linn!
