Mott MacDonald Ireland Ltd. has been appointed by the OPW to assess flood risk and develop flood risk management options in the South Western River Basin District. This hydrology report is one of a series of reports being produced as part of the South Western Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study (SW CFRAM Study). This report details the assessment of the hydrological conditions at the following locations within Unit of Management 19: Ballingeary Castlemartyr Killeagh The downstream reaches of the River Womanagh This report does not review or update flows for the wider Lee catchment which have been assessed separately under the River Lee Pilot CFRAM Study. A review and analysis of historical flood events, hydrometric data and hydrogeomorphological processes has highlighted flooding issues to urban areas and nationally important infrastructure from the River Womanagh, Upper Lee, Bunsheelin River and a number of smaller tributaries. The Flood Studies Update methodologies have been used to determine the current design peak flows for eight specified flood probabilities. Rainfall-runoff modelling has been used to derive the critical hydrograph at Ballingeary that results in flooding to the town. The FSU UPO-ERR Gamma curve has been applied to derive the characteristic flood hydrographs across the Womanagh catchments. Corresponding coastal conditions have been developed for the design fluvial events. Calibration events were identified in Castlemartyr, Killeagh, and Ballingeary where there was sufficient historical flood data. Potential future catchment changes relevant to the Upper Lee and Womanagh catchment have been assessed including changes in urban development, land use and hydrology related to global climate change. Two future scenarios have been developed from this analysis, a Mid Range Future Scenario and High End Future Scenario, which have been used to develop potential future flows and extreme sea levels. The resultant design flood hydrographs and coastal conditions will be used as input to the hydraulic models. The knowledge of the hydrological processes and the historical flooding issues across Unit of Management 19 established in this report will support the development of sustainable and appropriate flood risk management options in those areas at greatest flood risk. 296235/IWE/CCW/R015/C 24 June 2016 i C:\Users\pig44561\Desktop\296235-IWE-CCW-R015-C-Hydrology Report UoM19.docx South Western CFRAM Study Hydrology Report,Unit of Management 19 1 Introduction 1.1 Context of the CFRAM Study Flooding is a natural process that occurs throughout Ireland as a result of extreme rainfall, river flows, storm surges, waves, and high groundwater. Flooding can become an issue where the flood waters interact with people, property, farmland and protected habitats. Flood risk in Ireland has historically been addressed through the use of structural or engineered solutions (arterial drainage schemes and / or flood relief schemes). In line with internationally changing perspectives, the Government adopted a new policy in 2004 that shifted the emphasis in addressing flood risk towards: A catchment-based context for managing risk; More pro-active flood hazard and risk assessment and management, with a view to avoiding or minimising future increases in risk, such as that which might arise from development

Introduction Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths commenced in Ireland in 1864, though registration of marriages of non‐Roman Catholics was introduced earlier in 1845. The Births, marriages and deaths were registered by geographical areas known as Registration Districts (also known as Superintendent Registrar’s Districts). The boundaries of the registration districts followed the boundaries of the Poor Law Unions created earlier under the 1838 Poor Law Act for the administration of relief to the poor.

  • Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water in the Lee Catchment – a Spatial Analysis

    Phosphorus Loss from Soil to Water in the Lee Catchment – a Spatial Analysis

    Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University College Cork Phosphorus loss from soil to water in the Lee catchment – A spatial analysis By Julien Gillet A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Master of Engineering Science October 2006 Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to the following people: Prof. Gerard Kiely, my supervisor, for his guidance and his encouragement. Prof. J.P.J. O’Kane, for the use of the facilities of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UCC. Dr. Michael Creed, for his administrative support. Cecile Delolme, for help and encouragement to come to Ireland Mr Gerard Morgan , Mr Stuart Warner and Dr Xie Quishi of the Aquatic Services Unit for data collection and laboratory analysis as well as for their advices and suggestions. Paul Guero for his support and friendship all along this year. The students and staff of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Anna Laine, Paul Leahy, Matteo Sottocornola, Ken Byrne, Anne Brune, Sylvia Palumbo, Micheal Fenton, James Eaton and Adrian Birkby for their help and friendship. ii Abstract In most fresh water systems, phosphorus is considered to be the key limiting nutrient and excessive introduction of phosphorus into surface waters is likely to lead to eutrophication. In Ireland, where eutrophication is the main threat in terms of water quality, it is believed that over 70% of phosphorus reaching inland waters emanates from agricultural sources. With the improved control of farmyard losses, most of the phosphorus is now considered to originate from diffuse field sources. The River Lee catchment, 1135 km² in area, was monitored through a network of 56 stream water quality sites that were sampled 8 times over 2 years, during base and storm flow conditions.

    CENTENARY TIMELINE FOR THE COUNTY OF CORK (1920 – 1923) – WAR OF INDEPENDENCE AND CIVIL WAR Guidance Note: This document provides hundreds of key dates with regard to the involvement of County Cork in the War of Independence and Civil War. These include the majority of the key occurrences of 1920 – 1923 including all major events from the County of Cork (including some other locations that involved people from County Cork), as well as key developments on the national level (or elsewhere in the country) during this timeframe (blue). All key ambushes, attacks and executions are included as well as events that saw the loss of life of Cork people, whether in Cork County or further afield. A number of notable events pertaining to Cork City (note: not all) are also included (green) and a details/link section is provided to indicate the source material. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information contained within this document, given the volume of material and variations in the historical record, there will undoubtedly be errors, omissions and other such issues. It is the intention of Cork County Council’s Commemorations Committee that this will remain a ‘live document’ and all suggested additional dates/amendments/etc. are most welcome, with this document being continually updated as appropriate. Cork County Council’s Commemorations Committee recognises and wishes to pay tribute to the excellent research already undertaken by some excellent scholars regarding this time period and looks forward to further correspondence from community groups and other interested persons. It is the purpose of this document to provide such dates that will assist local community groups in the organising of their local centenary events.

FOREWORD The untimely death of Professor Ruaidhri de Valera, on the 28th October 1978, brought to an end a fruitful association with the Ordnance Survey which had lasted for more than three decades. He was appointed Placenames Officer in the Ordnance Survey in February 1946, became Archaeology Officer the following year and served in the dual roles of Archaeology Officer and Senior Placenames Officer until he took up his appointment to the Chair of Celtic Archaeology in University College, Dublin in November 1957. Thereafter his connection with the Ordnance Survey was maintained through his constant collaboration in the production of this Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Ruaidhri de Valera's Celtic Studies training together with his love and understanding of the language and culture of Ireland fitted him well for the appointments he held at the Ordnance Survey and enabled him to revive and foster the traditions of scholarship established by his famous predecessors, O'Donovan, O'Curry and Petrie. Throughout his time here he was involved in research on Placenames and when the personnel of An Coimisiun Logainmneacha were attached to this Office it was under his guidance that the work was re-organised and set on its present successful course.
