MOTION NO. 88

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole

Add at end of NCBH 6 Objective 6: To enhance and protect our rural traditions by preserving traditional common grazing grounds in Bohernabreena, as appropriate, and to encourage the grazing of such areas by local farmers, in an environmentally sustainable way.

REPORT:

It is proposed to amend the current objective from:

'To enhance and protect our rural traditions by preserving traditional common grazing grounds in Bohernabreena, as appropriate, and to encourage the grazing of such areas by local farmers’.

To the following:

'To enhance and protect our rural traditions by preserving traditional common grazing grounds in Bohernabreena, as appropriate, and to encourage the grazing of such areas by local farmers, in an environmentally sustainable way’.

This change in wording is considered acceptable. The new wording should be combined with the proposed wording associated with motion 71042 to create new wording for NCBH 6 Objective 6.   

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted so that NCBH 6 Objective 6 reads:

' To enhance and protect our rural traditions by preserving traditional common grazing grounds in Bohernabreena, and to encourage the grazing of such areas by local farmers, in an environmentally sustainable way and support alternative methods of stock control on the commonage’.
