County Cavan Protestant Network Strategic plan _

1. INTRODUCTION1.1 This strategy and action plan has been developed under the Peace III

Programme which had been funded by Breffni Integrated Development through Cavan Peace Partnership. The primary aim of the strategy is to provide a focus for a structured programme of supports to develop Protestant communities across County Cavan.

1.2 The consultant that facilitated the workshops with members of the Protestant community in County Cavan was Allen McAdam of MCA Consulting.

1.3 The purpose of this exercise was to conduct an audit of the Protestant community in County Cavan and to develop an action plan. It was important that the strategy and plan be prepared based on the widest possible involvement of the Protestant communities and so a list of all relevant stakeholders in the Protestant community was compiled.

1.4 The following organisations were identified for participation in the Protestant Network and invited to participate in the planning process: churches, schools, sports clubs and organisations.

1.5 This Strategy and Action Plan is based on desk research and largely on planning meetings held as follows:

DATE VENUE ATTENDANCE

9th-10th July ‘10 Lusty Beg Centre, Co. Fermanagh

16

Wednesday 5th Sept ‘10 Kilmore Hotel, Cavan 12

Tuesday 1st February ‘11 Kilmore Hotel, Cavan 27

Those attending came from a representative cross-section of the Protestant community.

1.6 The first two sessions dealt with producing a constitution for the newly formed Protestant network. A thorough SWOT analysis was conducted and views and opinions on key issues were sourced. There was very good participation by those that attended.

A comprehensive analysis of published statistics from the CSO was undertaken and GAMMA statistics were analysed. Areas that were predominantly Protestant were identified and a comparative analysis was undertaken to assess any trends that would emerge relevant to these areas. The results are presented in this report.

Workshop findings were collated and analysed and included in this report.

1.7 When the initial planning sessions were completed the key needs under the various sections were identified and analysed through the second planning workshop in the Kilmore Hotel. From this participatory process a strategy was developed to address the issues identified and to assist in the regeneration in the target Protestant groups in County Cavan. This has taken the form of a number of measurable and deliverable actions to be undertaken to address needs.

Copies of the draft completed action plan were made available by e-mail to workshop participants.

2. COMMUNITY AUDIT, & DESK RESEARCH2.1 Introduction

The following information includes key statistics sourced in relation to the Cavan area. All statistical data is taken from the CSO data catalogue. Other information was provided at workshops by attendees.

2.2 Area

The administrative boundaries for the area are shown below, however it should be noted that community linkages and associations between groups and settlements extend beyond these boundaries. Many Protestant groups and organisations draw membership from outside the county boundary and also participate in activities run outside the County of Cavan.

Fig. 1 Map of County Cavan

2.3 Demography and Community

On Census Day in 2006 the resident population of County Cavan stood at 64,003. This represents a 13.2% increase since the 2002 census.

5

County Cavan Protestant Network Strategic plan _

2.2.1 The Protestant Community in County Cavan

7.8% of the census population in 2006 or around 3,978 people were from a Protestant community background in Cavan. There is no statistic readily available for other non Roman Catholic Christian religions such as Baptist and Christian fellowship.

Map 2 below shows the pattern in the proportion of Protestant people in the various DED’s in County Cavan using 2006 census output results.

1971 1981 1991 2002 2006

Table 1 Population changes in Protestant community 1971-2006

There has been an overall reduction in the number of Protestants in County Cavan of 10.6% in the period 1971 to 2006, while in the same period the population of Cavan has grown considerably. The net reduction in the Protestant population of County Cavan has been estimated to be in excess of 15% in the same period.

Of the three main Protestant religions according to the CSO census figures Methodists are the only category that have seen and increase in numbers, from 169 to 185. Church of Ireland has seen an 11.8% reduction in numbers, while Presbyterian numbers have reduced by 8.5% in the same 35 year period.

Map two shows the geographical spread of Protestants in the county. There are three DED’s marked in light red where the local population consists of more than 40% Protestants. There would appear to be a concentration in a number of areas as highlighted in the map above.

3. FIELD RESEARCH & FINDINGS

3.1 Workshop Findings:

The workshops were held initially to engage local protestant people in considering their area under four headings:

The people: attitudes, culture and skills The community organisations: churches, loyal orders, community and

voluntary groups, bands, sporting organisations The buildings: church halls, Orange halls, community halls Linkages and networks

3.2 Social and Cultural Assets, perceptions

3.2.1 A SWOT on the Community is set out below. The priorities in each instance are set out in bold type. This exercise was conducted at the workshops at Lustybeg.

Strengths WeaknessesGood leadership and commitment

Cohesive closely knit community

Structured organisations

Varity of skills

Community has vision

Local protestant ethos schools

Lack of interest of youth taking part

Lack of suitable facilities

Lack of information flow

Lack of delegation

Buildings in poor condition

Community halls separate from church building

Opportunities Threats

Increase and improve training for volunteers

Better facilities elsewhere

Recession causing numbers to grow in youth clubs

Attract cross protestant community membership of groups and orgs.

Attract Funding

Delegation and sourcing information

.

Numbers small and declining

Lack of leaders and volunteers

Fading motivation

Health and safety

3.2.2 The following is a report the findings of the SWOT Analysis and facilitated discussion with participants exploring a range of social and cultural aspects of Protestant community life.

3.2.3 While views varied somewhat between workshop participants, common points of view emerged;

1. A small number of participants believed strongly that they were not made welcome or secure living and working in Cavan. It was outlined that over the years some people, particularly nearer the border, had been forced to leave their homes.

2. It was generally considered that Protestants needed to become more proactive in enabling others to better understand their culture and traditions.

3. There was unanimous agreement that Protestants need to work together more.

4. There was also unanimous agreement that Protestants need to play a more proactive role in neutral organisations.

9

County Cavan Protestant Network Strategic plan _

5. There was a mixture of views in relation to how Protestants are treated by public bodies; this depended very much on personal experience.

6. There was a clear lack of confidence expressed in relation to engaging with other traditions. It was generally felt by some that opening up to cross community engagement would to some degree threaten the continued existence of the Protestant community.

7. There was strong agreement that Protestants have things to teach to each other as well as to learn from the broader community.

3.2.4 Linkages and networking

The following organisations were included;

The County Council Local Training OrganisationsGARDA Planning services The Regional CollegeCitizens Information ServicesChurches

Relationships were classified as very good, reasonable or poor. The relationships examined extended to include organisations within the Protestant community itself. For example, relations were sometimes considered poor within churches, although for others relations were good, and the situation varied across groups. There was no identifiable trend with relationships with organisations within the Protestant Community and opinions varied based on personal experiences.

Most relationships with public bodies were seen as reasonable or good. Experiences in most cases were based and judged on the ability to access services or funding and depended to a great extent on relationships with key frontline staff locally. The centralisation of services in rural hubs was seen as a retrograde step that would do nothing to improve relationships with the rural Protestant community.

The SWOT analysis identified some potential for more networking but also illustrated the considerable barriers which exist.

Table 6: Training Needs analysis Cavan Groups

Making funding applications was the most popular area followed by identifying resources and finance and identifying community needs. A number of additional different training needs were identified other than those listed. They included training in dealing with conflict in a group and community leadership training.

3.2.3 Conclusions

Support for more cohesive and coherent approach to development in Protestant areas and in the Protestant Community as a whole is seen as a core requirement of any new support programme. The desire to work together for mutual benefit would be strengthening. Key issues that have traditionally hampered efforts for closer co-operation within the Protestant community have included an unwillingness to share information, an inability of

12

County Cavan Protestant Network Strategic plan _

the many groups, clubs and organisations to agree on a common goal, everyone looking after their own patch and fear of losing identity and a difficulty in looking forward instead of backwards. There would appear to be a strong competitive element present in some groups for membership, scare resources and funding.

3.3 Physical Assets

Part of the workshops preparing an audit of the county included an opportunity to locate and describe community buildings in terms of their openness to community use and an estimate was made of the level of usage. 86 buildings were identified comprising of 29 halls, 53 churches and 11 schools. This figure does not include Orange Halls or Masonic halls which as traditionally linked to the Protestant community. While this could not be classified as a definitive list, the vast majority of facilities were identified. A full list is in Appendix A.

The SWOT analysis for halls, set out below, suggested that whilst halls were reasonably well distributed and the numbers of halls linked to the settlement pattern. Despite the availability of funding in recent years, many halls were still in a very poor state of repair and concern was voiced as to the sustainability of maintaining so many buildings.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF PROTESTANT BUILDINGS

Strengths Weaknesses

Plenty of Protestant halls and buildings

Help bring community together.

Good and comfortable place to meet.

Regularly used by church organisations.

Upkeep and running costs

Substandard and not suitable for today’s requirements. Outdated.

Many halls are not very busy.

Young people do not actively use most halls.

Lots of small halls. Many are not large enough to run reasonable

sized events

Opportunities Threats

Suitable venues for events, concerts, training courses.

Could be used a lot more often.

Place where people can socialise.

Many halls could be good venue for broader community to use.

More people to lead and organise activities.

Lack of funding to maintain.

Health and safety issues due to lack of resources.

Too many halls for small communities to maintain.

Falling population in some rural areas.

Conclusion

A very large number of physical assets have been identified. Lack of suitable premises was not seen as a barrier to community development. Many premises were at various stages of disrepair and usage patterns showed reduced usage of many rural halls. It was mentioned at one of the workshops that some halls were in such a state of disrepair that they could be more appropriately classed as physical liabilities as opposed to assets. A number of buildings were being used very rarely.

While most people agreed that there were too many halls not being utilised regularly, the retention of buildings was seen as a very sensitive issue. The alternative solution of working to revitalize community organisations and to ensure buildings were put back into productive use was seen as a more desirable option.

Options for improving the support infrastructure for community activity, from meetings to activities for younger and older people, need to be more fully explored.

3.5 Ideas Generation

A pre-printed list of ideas was circulated to workshop participants to help in considering opportunities and needs. The combined set of responses from participants is detailed in the table overleaf, organised by theme and by number and percentage of people supporting each idea.

3.5 Key Points from consultation

1. The Protestant Community in County Cavan are in the minority in all DED’s in County Cavan.

2. The movement of young people out of the rural areas in particular is seen as major challenge for years ahead.

3. Many groups and individuals feel that their culture and tradition is under threat.

4. There is considerable room for improvement in terms of developing relationships both internally and externally.

5. Most groups agree that more could be achieved by working together as opposed to operating independently.
