Conservation Plans Bere Island The Bere Island Conservation Plan was completed and agreed by all stakeholders in the summer of 2002. This Plan was commissioned in partnership by the Heritage Council, the Bere Island Community, and Cork Co Council. It was researched and drawn together by MCOSullivan in consultation with stake holders on and off the island. The plan provided the backdrop to planning for a viable and vibrant island community on Bere and will be published in 2003. Leamonaghan In 2001 the Heritage Council and Offaly County Council commissioned a Conservation Plan for the historic complex at Leamonaghan in partnership with other stake holders including the local community and Dúchas the Heritage Service. The need for this plan had become clear from two other studies carried out in the 1990s including a report for the Leamonaghan Development Association. A steering group was established which represented the various interest bodies including the local community. This group commissioned Margaret Quinlan and Associates to carry out the plan which has established that Leamonaghan is A sacred place of great antiquity A place containing buildings of architectural significance A place rich in documentary history and archaeological potential A place where there is a strong continuing tradition of devotional practice A place that possesses a strong sense of a place apart, untouched by the modern world. The plan was agreed and signed off in November 2002 and a management group established to oversee the management of the Conservation Plan. This group consists of 3 local representatives, 1 representative of the Heritage Council, 1 representative of the Offaly Co Council, 1 representative of Duchas The Heritage Service.
