  • Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape
    Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027: Draft Stage Chapter 4 Biodiversity and Landscape Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape 4.1 Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity simply refers to all living things on earth; people, plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms, the ecosystems and habitats which they form part of and their interdependence and interconnectedness with each other. The conservation of biodiversity is an integral part of good environmental management. Natural capital is the earths stock of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It is from this natural capital that people derive a wide range of services often called ecosystem, services which make human life possible. In line with Regional Policy Objective (RPO) 3.4 of the Eastern and Midland Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy, the Council promotes an ecosystems services approach in the preparation of this County Development Plan. The four main types of ecosystem services are provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural, each of which are defined in Table 4.1 below; Table 4.1 Definition of Each Type of Ecosystem Service Type of Ecosystem Services Definition Provisioning services Products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, genetic resources and medicines. Regulating services Benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, waste management, pollination and pest control. Habitat services Provision of habitats for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools. Cultural services Non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values.

Irish Wildlife Manuals Series Editors: F. Marnell & N. Kingston © National Parks and Wildlife Service 2009 ISSN 1393 – 6670 SUMMARY • This report outlines the findings of a study of the Annex II listed white-clawed crayfish in 26 selected Irish lakes. The white-clawed crayfish is Ireland’s only crayfish species and Ireland is thought to hold some of the best European stocks of this species, under least threat from external factors. Lake populations of white-clawed crayfish are rare in Britain and across Europe so this adds to Ireland’s unique position in harbouring populations in lime-rich lakes. The current study sought to add to the body of existing knowledge on crayfish stocks in Irish lakes and provide a baseline reference for future studies.

In July 1912, I was sent to Drogheda to serve my time to the victualling business. I joined the Irish Volunteers in Drogheda in l914, I cannot remember now who was in charge of the Volunteers there, but I was not very long a member when I was ordered by my boss to give up my membership and I had to do so. When you are apprenticed to a business you sign a certain undertaking or contract and you are bound by the articles contained in this contract, so I had no option but to obey his orders. As far as I know, at the time of the split in the Volunteers almost all of the members of that body gave their allegiance to the National or Redmond Volunteers in Drogheda and the Irish Volunteers ceased to exist. However, the Irish Volunteers were again. reorganised in Drogheda about September 1915, and, as I was now out of my apprenticeship, I joined this organisation. There were then about 12 or 14 members and we used to meet at a premises owned by Feely's of James's St.
