  • Chapter 4: Human Beings
    Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with Chapter 4: Human Beings Environmental Impact Statement Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with 4. HUMAN BEINGS 4.1 Introduction This section of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the potential impacts of the proposed development on human beings and has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out by the Environmental Protection Agency in ‘Guidelines on Information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements’ (EPA, 2000). One of the principle concerns in the development process is that people, as individuals or communities, should experience no diminution in their quality of life from the direct or indirect impacts arising from the construction and operation of a development. Ultimately, all the impacts of a development impinge on human beings, directly and indirectly, positively and negatively. The key issues examined in this section of the EIS include population, employment and economic activity, land-use, residential amenity, community facilities and services, tourism, and health and safety. Reference is also made, in this chapter, to nuisance impacts on human beings that are dealt with in other sections of this EIS such as flooding from Chapter 7 - Hydrology and Hydrogeology; dust and noise from Chapter 8 - Air and Climate; and traffic from Chapter 11 - Material Assets. 4.2 Receiving Environment 4.2.1 Methodology The following sources of information and literature pertinent to the area were used in the preparation of this section: . Central Statistics Office (CSO), . Cork City Development Plan 2015 – 2021, . North Docks Local Area Plan 2005, . South Docks Local Area Plan 2008, .

  • Activity Workbook on Cork Harbour Through Time
    Activity Workbook on Cork Harbour through time Spike Island Glacis Walk - Information Panel 3 Let’s get started! You and your teacher or family can have fun with this colouring and activity book. You will learn about Cork harbour and it’s wonderful history on the following pages. The illustrations are shown both in colour and black and white. You can colour the black and white pages to match the colour images or you can do you own masterpiece. You can print off as many pages as you like and don’t forget to ask questions. Contents 1. Neolithic man (5000 years ago) 7. Military Fortification (Late 18th Century) 2. Early medieval period (500 - 1000 years ago) 8. Emigration and Departures (19th Century) 3. Arrival of the Vikings (914 AD.) 9. RMS Titanic 4. Vikings ‘more Irish than the Irish’ (1114) 10. Handing over of the Treaty Ports 5. Arrival of the Normans 11. Cork harbour today 6. An Atlantic Trade Gateway (from 17th Century) Key notes on illustration. The main focus of this drawing is the Rostellan Portal Tomb. Of interest, this portal tomb is inter-tidal now (at high tide it is semi-submerged) and therefore indicates that sea level has risen in Cork Harbour. Also, note that the early settlers would have made use of the large oyster beds that were then available in the harbour (sadly they are all gone now). we know that early settlers use to eat oysters in the harbour because there are many shell middens found throughout the harbour today (a shell midden is an archaeological term for large ‘fossil’ pile of oyster shells).

CORK APPLICANT: INDAVER (IRELAND) My name is Marcia D’Alton. I am a member of CHEPA, the Cork Harbour Environmental Protection Association. CHEPA is an organisation which brings residents of all sides of Cork Harbour together with the common aim of protecting and improving the living and recreational environment of Cork Harbour. I am Deputy Mayor of Passage West Town Council. The jurisdiction of Passage West Town Council encompasses the three harbourside towns of Passage West, Glenbrook and Monkstown. During my term as elected member, I drafted the Architectural Design Guidelines for Passage West and Monkstown in consultation with and on behalf of Passage West Town Council. These have since been acknowledged in the current Carrigaline Electoral Area Local Area Plan and will be incorporated into the redrafting of the Local Area Plan in 2012. I have delivered presentations on the architectural heritage of Passage West and Monkstown on behalf of Passage West Town Council to several departments within Cork County Council, to larger developers with an interest in the towns and to community groups. The aim of these initatives was to achieve a common goal for new development to complement and enhance the valuable architectural heritage of Passage West and Monkstown. I have researched, designed and produced the Passage West and Monkstown Railway Heritage Trail which celebrates items of railway infrastructure along the route of the old Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway.
