The Nore Vision Stage 1 What was it about? What was done? What was achieved? What remains to be achieved? What happens next?
The Nore Commons A Shared Understanding Man imposes his own boundaries. So, we have an issue of inconsistencies between natural and imposed boundaries which sets up a series of problems . Ideally, we would like to shift the paradigm from boundaries to areas of commonality. Finnie (2009: 16) The Story of the 2008 Vancouver Island Learning Lunch Seminar Series.
What was it about? Project to encourage collaborative & co-ordinated action around a shared understanding of a desirable future for the River Nore, its tributaries, land & people
What was done Catchment-wide consultations 13 workshops 10 communities 20 agencies, bodies, authorities & LEADER local action groups 36 interest groups Over 200 participants in total 250 followers on Facebook Report on consultation outputs & review Research paper into collaborative catchment-based governance
What was achieved Comprehensive consultation process Catchment-wide and multi-sectoral Insight into range of interests, concerns and ideas for future Distilled into 5 succinct interlinked themes
Yet to be achieved A document (e.g. Plan) that can be signed up to Harder to achieve than originally conceived Diversity of priorities, interests, perspectives, approaches among stakeholders Diversity of regulatory responsibilities Consensus on need for more joined-up thinking & collaborative actions across Nore catchment Desire to progress The Nore Vision
Learnings from Review Governance - who will champion The Nore Vision, what will its governance structure be, how will it be funded, who will do the work? Incentive why might bodies work beyond current remit, resource constraints, seek organisation buy-in, wary to commit without agreeing detailed plan/actions we need to reflect the reality of our statutory obligations Long-term Work develop governance structure, agree a catchment-level plan, begin cultural shift toward more joined-up thinking and action Short-term Work - immediate action to keep stakeholders engaged get down and dirty with local communities and groups and make The Nore Vision relevant for officials and communities alike
Long-term Work collaborative catchment governance structure international best practice but new to Ireland resources for catchment-based working: staff, project funding, upskilling (how to collaborate and coordinate work across organisations &territories) e.g. CaBa Approach in UK essential but rare in Ireland (EPA) catchment-level plan with agreed actions to progress elements of The Nore Vision that works across spatial scales and sectors with diverse, sometimes conflicting interests/priorities mechanism to engage with community-level champions & local action groups enable, empower The Nore Vision calls for new approaches that require resources and leadership committed to build trust, share information and responsibility Integrated action + integrated thinking
Voice of the Nore Catchment Governance at the catchment scale offers a basin-wide perspective and vehicle for initiatives where stakeholders come to the table to represent the interests of the commons, rather than their individual jurisdictions. Okanagan Basin Water Board (2008: 1). OBWB Backgrounder. The idea is that the resulting institution becomes the voice of the catchment, advocating for its well-being, speaking on its behalf.

Short-term Work Immediate opportunity to link work being done across Nore catchment e.g. School education programmes Public outreach work Hazardous waste collection Water conservation training Priority Areas for Action Balsam bashing Litter picks Wetland amenity development
Proposed Pathway for Joined-up Thinking & Action Continue The Nore Vision through application for EU Interterritorial Cooperation funding by LEADER Local Action Groups in Kilkenny, Laois and Tipperary Work to identify mutually beneficial collaborations across agencies, bodies, authorities, local action groups and community representatives that link with 5 themes of The Nore Vision Seek to agree actions that will deliver elements of The Nore Vision Include indicators for monitoring progress Keep stakeholders updated
