In 1812, John D'Arcy moved his family to a remote area of western Ireland that he called Clifden, establishing what was essentially a frontier settlement in a wild landscape. Over the ensuing two centuries, Clifden grew into a market town that provided local farmers an opportunity to sell their goods. The area attracted artists and writers due to its scenic beauty and solitude. To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Clifden's founding, a committee is planning a week of celebrations in May-June 2012 centered around Irish music, traditional boating, and seminars on the area's history.

Open Access policies and best practicesIryna Kuchma
The presentation covers good practice approaches to designing and implementing open access policies aligned with the European Commission's (EC) Recommendation to Member States on Access to and preservation of scientific information of July 2012, Guidelines on open access to scientific publications and research data in Horizon 2020 and the EC's Horizon 2020 Multi-beneficiary General Model Grant Agreement. Open access policy alignment check-list will be presented covering the following issues: Are beneficiaries required to deposit and ensure open access? What to deposit? Where to deposit? When to deposit? When should open access be provided? Policy monitoring and compliance as well as open access publishing (from the policy perspective) will also be covered as a part of this presentation. PASTEUR4OA report on the Open access policy effectiveness will provide important evidence that open access policies should include at least three elements for effectiveness, namely, a mandatory deposit that cannot be waived, and linking depositing with research evaluation.

2. D’Arcy virtually imported trades people into the area because, “he saw the advantages it
would bring to the area and to his own estate” said Villiers-Tuthill.
“(The people) came here because the advantages were here and the possibility of making a
better life for themselves was here,” she said.
D’Arcy saw potential in the area and wanted to develop a fish station in Clifden, but
according to Villiers-Tuthill the initial success was met with failure.
“Clifden was too far inland,” said Villiers-Tuthill. The fishing station was not successful.
“(Clifden) became a market town rather than a fishing station.” Clifden provided a market for
the locals to sell their agricultural produce such as oats, potatoes, vegetables and fish.
“They were able to bring their goods into the market and sell them there. So it created a
center,” Villiers-Tuthill said.
Rocky terrain aside, there are pockets of fertile land. Locals used seaweed to fertilize the
land.
“They still use it today,” Villiers-Tuthill said. If people live close to the shore and if they can
bring seaweed in easily they will still use it according to Villiers-Tuthill
Apart from fertilizing land, other uses for the local seaweed include, medicinal and cosmetic
purposes. Seaweed baths in spas throughout the country are popular. According to Villiers-
Tuthill a seaweed bath is “gorgeous!”
Numerous artists, authors and poets are drawn to Clifden specifically. Artists are attracted
to Clifden by the light according to Villiers-Tuthill.
“I am told that the light is absolutely perfect for them and that they love it because of that,”
she said.
J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, allegedly used the
landscape of Connemara as inspiration for his fantasy landscapes.
“Writers came because of the solitude, and the fact that you experience a completely
different world than even on the east coast of Ireland,” Villiers-Tuthill said.
“You have the feeling as you are driving through the rugged landscape of Connemara that
you are breaking into another era, almost like another country,” she added.
3. Villiers-Tuthill is part of an eight member committee which has planned the upcoming
bicentennial celebration of Clifden since 2009.
“We want to try to mark the occasion, interpret our history in as many ways as possible so
as to make it acceptable to small children and to people who don’t have the slightest bit of
interest in history,” to “those who are genuinely, deeply interested in history,” she said.
At present the plans involve the third annual Genealogical and Local History seminar on
April 16. Speakers include Rob Goodbody, Paul Gosling, Siobhan Mc Guinness, Gregory
O’Connor and Kathleen Villiers-Tuthill herself.
“The big one next year is the one we’re hoping people will come from abroad,”
Villiers-Tuthill said.
The planning of the big bicentennial celebrations is cheering up the locals amidst the
recession and austerity measures according to Villiers-Tuthill. “It is raising the morale,” she
said.
Locals are planning to bring the Irish Diaspora of Clifden and Connemara back for a 2012
celebration that promises Irish Music, traditional boat Regatta, and a number of seminars
throughout the year. The main week of celebrations will be May 25 to June 4, 2012.
“We’re celebrating (the bicentennial) for ourselves and hoping that by putting on a genuine
festival where the local people are involved and the local people are enjoying themselves
that any tourists who come will actually be part of a local festival,” she said.
“We would love to have people come back and join in it, they’ll definitely find us in our best
of form,” Villiers-Tuthill said.
