Draft Catchment Flood Risk Management Plan Draft Catchment Flood Risk Management Plan February 2010 Lee Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study Draft Catchment Flood Risk Management Plan Acknowledgements In early 2006, the Office of Public Works (OPW), Cork City Council and Cork County Council commenced work on a Catchment-based Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study (CFRAM Study) for the Lee Catchment, as a means of addressing the high levels of existing flood risk around the River Lee, its tributaries and estuary, and the potential for significant increases in this risk in the future. In August 2006, Halcrow Group Limited were appointed as lead consultants for the Study. The Lee CFRAM Study was the first pilot CFRAM Study for the new Flood Risk Assessment and Management Programme, which is at the core of the delivery of the new Flood Policy adopted by the Irish Government in 2004, shifting the emphasis in addressing flood risk towards a catchment-based, pro-active approach for identifying and managing existing, and potential future, flood risk. The Lee Catchment Flood Risk Assessment Management Study (CFRAMS) and the Catchment Flood Risk Management Plan (CFRMP) have been prepared by Halcrow Group Ireland Limited under the supervision of the OPW and its partners, Cork City Council and Cork County Council. Halcrow Group Ireland has had support from MarCon Computation International Ltd, J B Barry & Partners and Brady Shipman Martin. An in-house OPW Project Management Team managed the work of the Consultant on the Study. A Project Steering Group, which included representatives from OPW, Cork City Council, Cork County Council and the Environmental Protection Agency, was responsible for overseeing and directing the Study, and reviewing key outputs and deliverables. OPW wishes to acknowledge the endless support and advice of these Steering Group representatives, as well as the input from a wide range of Stakeholders and other interested parties. Sincere thanks are also extended to the Project Team at Halcrow Group Limited and their sub-consultants for their expertise, commitment and cooperation.

Cork Underwater and Intertidal Archaeological Assessment SUMMARY The Archaeological Diving Company Ltd. was appointed by Aegis Archaeology Ltd, on behalf of Mott Macdonald Pettit (consulting engineers for Cork County Council), to undertake an underwater and intertidal archaeological survey of two pipeline impact corridors as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed Cork Harbour Lower Drainage Scheme: the underwater assessment was undertaken along the works corridor identified for the proposed marine pipeline, crossing between Monkstown and Cobh (River Lee Estuary), and the inter-tidal survey was carried out across the route of the proposed foreshore pipeline at Carrigaline (north side of Owenduff River). Systematic visual inspection of the sub-tidal seabed and intertidal/ foreshore areas surrounding the proposed impacts did not reveal any material or features of archaeological significance.

  • Used by the Passenger River Steamers. They Chose to Build a Timber Pier Rather Than a Stone Pier, Believing That the Latter Would Interfere with River Navigation
    Archaeological & Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment ________________________________________________. .....________ ~.?!.~_~~~L!i~~_().l:'E_~ait:'~l?~0_~~~ used by the passenger river steamers. They chose to build a timber pier rather than a stone pier, believing that the latter would interfere with river navigation. In the meantime, the Baths were going from strength to strength. They were further extended to include magnificent riverside gardens and a Turkish bath. In 1852, Carrigmahon House opened on the opposite side of the road to offer specialised hydropathic and homeopathic care. By 1858, this care also included a Turkish Bath. Demand exceeds availability for the services at Carrigmahon House while, between June and October 1857, some 15,000 bathers visited the Baths at Glenbrook. In that same year, a new T-shaped timber pier was built at Glenbrook so that the steamers could service the Baths directly. In June 1861, the Browns extended their dockyard by another 150 metres to the south. The works included stores, a steam saw mill and an extensive quay. The possibility of building a third dry dock was also being considered. The following year, 181 ships completely discharged at Passage West and 73 others partially discharged before going on to Cork. Passage West was at its peak. A new steamer pier had been built at Crosshaven and, in the early 1860s, the status of Passage West and Monkstown as holiday resorts began to be affected by the public's increased access to the open sea. The opening of the Cork to Queenstown (Cobh) railway in 1862 also eroded the importance of the Passage West ferry.

    Reverend Richard Townsend [612] Killenemer 1799 - 1801 Lackeen 1801 - 1806 Magourney 1801 - 1806 Ballyvourney 1799 - 1801 Cloyne St Cohnan’s, Cloyne Extract from Brady’s Clerical and Parochial Records of Cork, Cloyne and Ross Volume II 1863 Extracts from Samuel Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 BALLYVOURNEY, a parish, in the barony of WEST MUSKERRY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 8 miles (W. by N.) from Macroom; containing 3681 inhabitants. St. Abban, who lived to a very advanced age and died in 650, founded a nunnery at this place, which he gave to St. Gobnata, who was descended from O'Connor the Great, Monarch of Ireland. Smith, in his history of Cork, notices the church of this establishment, but it has since fallen into decay. The parish, of which the name signifies "the Town of the Beloved," is chiefly the property of Sir Nicholas C. Colthurst, Bart.; it is situated on the River Sullane, and on the road from Cork to Killarney, and comprises 26,525 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £6073. 15. per annum. The surface is very uneven, in some parts rising into mountains of considerable elevation, the highest of which is Mullaghanish: about one- half is arable and pasture land, with 70 acres of woodland. Much of the land has been brought into a state of cultivation by means of a new line of road from Macroom, which passes through the vale of the Sullane, and is now a considerable thoroughfare; and great facilities of improvement have been afforded by other new lines of road which have been made through the parish; but there are still about 16,000 acres of rough pasture and moorland, which might be drained and brought into a state of profitable cultivation.
