  • Mizen Guided Tour 310505
    History of Mizen Head Signal Station 1810 Only three lights on the southwest coast – Loop Head, Clear Island and the Old Head of Kinsale. 1826 2 lighthouses were erected on the Great Skellig 1847 SS Stephen Whitney, a 1034 tonnes liner, went down off Cape Clear with the loss of 100 lives and it was decided to build a lighthouse on the Fastnet or Fastness Rock as Cape Clear lighthouse was too far inland 1848 – 53 the Corporation of the Port of Dublin built a cast iron 63’ tower on the Fastnet at an estimated cost of £20,000. 1854 The Fastnet Rock Lighthouse was commissioned. The seas around the Fastnet were so strong that the structure needed constant strengthening and the costs soared to £27000. 1867 The ‘Dublin Port Act’ transferred the lighthouse powers to the Commissioners of Irish Lights. 1876 More repairs were carried out at the Fastnet Light 1881 Calf Rock (off Dursey Island) Lighthouse which was a similar construction to the Fastnet was carried away in a gale. The same gale broke the glass in the Fastnet lantern 148’ above sea level. 1883 The Fastnet was equipped with an explosive fog signal 1891 The Irish Lights Board decided that the Fastnet light was not powerful enough and proposed a 147’ granite tower to house a biform oil light. 1899-1903 The building of the Fastnet lighthouse at a cost of £84,000. 1905 There was a demand from ship owners, who fund the Lighthouse Service through harbour dues, that there should be a lighthouse at Mizen Head.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

    2010 Brought to you by SearchAmelia.com “And they who do their souls no wrong, But keep, at eve, the faith of morn, Shall daily hear the angel-song, 'To-day the Prince of Peace is born.’” - James Russell Lowell. Memorable Holidays 2010 – Team Searchamelia.com ForewordForeword It’s that joyful time of the year again! We all remember cheerful holiday seasons passed, and begin to anxiously plan for the season ahead. Then we start to panic at the thought of what we’re going to buy and how much we are going to spend, and for whom—especially in today’s economy. We must ask ourselves if we can afford another annual spending frenzy that burns deep holes in our pockets and puts our own families even further in debt with unnecessary credit card spending. For most, probably not. For me— a newlywed and recent college graduate still paying off student loans— definitely not. Most of us are looking to not exceed budgets when planning parties and gifts. Frugal is the word, and being creative is the key to saving money while still enjoying the Holidays with family and friends. First and foremost, the mission of this e-book is to provide actionable information on how to create an affordable, memorable holiday experience for you and your loved ones. So, with an open mind and an open heart, I invite you to join our team of money saving experts as we conceptually turn this year’s spending frenzies and Black Friday nightmares into a frugal holiday adventure you will not soon forget! 2 Memorable Holidays 2010 – Team Searchamelia.com Meet JessicaJessica: Co-authorauthor & EditorEditor “I’m a newly wed, a recent college graduate and a homemaker for five.

The group included no less than six new joiners, five of whom had survived ‘Try a Hike’! Starting at sea level, the group progressed merrily up on to the main road. We continued north east along the road for about 500m before crossing over and accessing a farm track which eventually led us through a stile and onto the walk proper. We began the steep and heathery ascent of Gearhane. Conditions were close to perfect with good visibility in the sunshine and for the first time in my memory of this mountain, practically no wind! We stopped at the ‘teapot’ (a rock in the shape of a teapot which was apparently empty!) and later on just past Gearhane, had lunch on some outcrops with a beautiful western vista. A whispered rumor of a trip down to Caherconree Fort was swept away on the cooling breeze before we reached the summit of Caherconree. Next we went up Baurtregaum, at 851m the highest peak of the Slieve Mish Mountains that rewarded the group with magnificent views out over Tralee Bay and south over Castlemaine Harbour.
