Administration of the vaccines is performed according to the Immunisation Advisory Committee of the RCPI publication – “Immunisation Guidelines for Ireland” (2002). The primary childhood immunisation programme (PCIP) covers vaccination against diphtheria (D), tetanus (T) and pertussis (P). These have been available as 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 vaccines. Vaccines against polio and Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) have been added to give 4-in-1 and 5-in-1. These are normally completed within 12 months from birth. The Mumps, Measles, Rubella (MMR) vaccine is given at 12 months now but may have been administered at 15 months. BCG vaccination is given near birth. Vaccination against N. meningitidis group C was introduced in October 2000. Uptake statistics regionally and nationally depend on all general practitioners returning, in a timely fashion, notification of vaccination in all children. The target uptake desired is 95% of all eligible children. At this level in a homogenous population, there is a good community protective effect which will benefit the remaining unvaccinated population. However, exposure to the disease may still cause infection in those not vaccinated. Vaccination is a child’s best defence against a range of potentially fatal childhood diseases. Uptake of the PCIP, especially MMR has suffered greatly from adverse and ill-founded scientific and media reports. Primary childhood immunisation in Ireland is free of charge – for both vaccine and visit to the doctor. Acknowledgements: The Department of Public Health appreciates the efforts of the public health nurses, area medical officers, senior area medical officers and general practitioners for their role in facilitating the timely collection and collation of vaccination uptake data. The Department is grateful to systems analysts Anne Keane and Margaret Mansell in Management Services for their role in implementing and maintaining the IT infrastructure for recording and reporting of vaccination uptake in the region. Page 2 of 34 Method: The CareWorks Immunisation database in the Health Service Executive-Mid Western Area (HSE-MW), formerly Mid-Western Health Board, was utilised to export data concerning three cohorts of children born between July 1st 1998 and June 30th 2003. These data were stratified by Electoral Division (ED) and by county. Cohort 1: Children born between July 1st 1998 and June 30th 2000 were examined. Uptake for DTP/Polio/Hib and MMR were computed. This is a two-year cohort and DTP/polio/Hib and MMR vaccinations would be completed. Cohort 2: Children born between July 1st 2000 and June 30th 2002 were examined. Uptake for DTP/Polio/Hib and MMR were computed. This is a two-year cohort and DTP/polio/Hib and MMR vaccinations would be completed. Cohort 3: Children born between July 1st 2000 and June 30th 2003 were examined. Uptake for DTP/Polio/Hib, MMR and MenC were computed. This is a three-year cohort and DTP/polio/Hib and MenC vaccinations only would be completed. On a quarterly basis the vaccination uptake at 24 months and 12 months is assessed and reported to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC). The data used in this report is “live” data and represents the current vaccination status of the cohorts at the end of August 2004 and not when the reports for the HPSC were produced. Considerable cleaning of systems and data has been carried out by the medical, nursing and management services personnel, to improve the quality of vaccination data in the HSE-MW. Anomalies still occur and data must be regarded as provisional. The data includes only children eligible for vaccination (those born minus those who died minus those who moved out of the area plus those moved into the area) Birth rates vary hugely within small areas like EDs from no births to almost 200 births per year. For the 2 year cohort there was an average of 21.6 births per ED (Median=10) and for the 3-year cohort there was an average of 33.6 births per ED (Median=17). The tables in this report include EDs in comparisons, only when over 20 births occurred in the cohort for the ED. There are 417 EDs in the HSE-MW region. Limerick City – 37 (about 1500 persons/ED) Limerick County – 136 (about 890 persons/ED) Clare County – 163 (about 650 persons/ED) Tipperary North – 81 (about 750 persons/ED) Over the period July 1998 to June 2003, two EDs reported no births – Lackagh in Tipperary North and Clareabbey (part in UD) in Clare. With 417 EDs it is not always feasible to label areas. Variance in codes, sectors and regions make it difficult to establish contiguous geographical boundaries recognisable to all. Key Questions: What is the current DTP/polio/Hib vaccination uptake for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 / Cohort 3? What is the current MMR vaccination uptake for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2? What is uptake like in the HSE-MW and the counties therein? Which EDs perform best and which perform worst with respect to uptake? Page 3 of 34 Review: Data on vaccination uptake in the HSE-MW has been reported from the Department of Public Health since 1998. The data illustrate a constant improvement in uptake of DTP/polio/Hib, but uptake still falls short of 95%. Data shown in this section is based on uptake at 24 months. Data has not always been available for uptake by county. However, recent data suggests that uptake of DTP/polio/Hib is best in Tipperary (often over 90%) compared to Limerick and Clare. Clare has shown improvements in recent months, rising from 82% to 87%. For MMR the uptake is lower than DTP/polio/Hib and it varies greatly but has improved over the last two years. In 2004, it recovered to levels seen in 2000/2001 (83%).

In early 2000, the uptake rates for all vaccinations were very low. Data for BCG vaccination uptake is available through the Parent Child Health Record and is reported to be between 85 and 88%. Page 4 of 34 Results: There are about 4500 births annually in the HSE-MW each year. A number of children move in and move out of the area. Caveat: EDs in rural areas can be large and may have small numbers of births. Uptake in areas with small numbers of births must be interpreted cautiously as variation in uptake from year can be large. Uptake of diphtheria, tetanus and polio is generally 1-2% better than uptake of pertussis and Hib vaccination. The number of eligible children in the three cohorts examined are shown in the tables below and uptake rates (county rate rounded to 0.5%, HSE-MW to 0.1): Table 1: Number of eligible children, percentage vaccination uptake, by area (HSE- MW).

    James Crowe of Ennis and Dublin, attorney – a ‘forgotten branch’i Philip Croweii The early history of the McEnchroe clan (Clann Meic Conchradha)iii of Thomondiv, and the genealogy of a prominent lineage of that clan in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, have been addressed in an earlier article.1 That branch of the Crowe gentry was descended from Robert Crowe (c.1710-c.1775), a successful Ennis merchant. He and his descendents were greatly involved in the civic and political affairs of the county up to the late 1800s. However this paper deals with another branch, James Crowe and his descendants. Research into the life and lineage of James Crowe (c. 1712-1774) of Clare and Dublin uncovered two abstracts of his will. The The Crowe Gentry of County Clare version in the Registry of Deeds, Dublin, is more detailed giving the names of his wife and sons, a summary of assets and the names of witnesses.2 Betham’s Abstracts3 has a much briefer account although it includes a notation, ‘brother of Robert C’.4 This reference turned out to be a vital clue in establishing that James Crowe and the above mentioned Robert were siblings and that James i This is a revised version of an article in The Other Clare, Vol.41, 2017, pp.41-46. ii I wish to thank Rob Alexander, Gerry McMahon and Patricia Wiggins for their expert and diligent searching in libraries and archives; to Peter Beirne for his on-going advice; and to Hugh Weir for providing detailed information about Dromconora.

  • Carrownagowan Wind Farm Dear Homeowner
    Carrownagowan Wind Farm Dear Homeowner, First and foremost, we hope this finds you safe and well in these challenging times, and adjusting as best possible to new ways of going about daily life. As you may be aware, Coillte’s Renewable Energy business has been actively exploring a wind farm development opportunity in the Slieve Bearnagh area since early 2018. The community engagement model which we use within our team has given us an opportunity to meet with a very high proportion of people residing within 2 km of the potential wind farm. The proposed Carrownagowan Wind Farm project is nearing the end of its pre-planning phase and should shortly enter the planning process. Under normal circumstances, we would be holding a public information event now in order to present the enclosed information to the wider public in the area surrounding this project. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and associated restrictions mean that this is not now possible. As an alternative, we are now distributing the attached information very widely. It sets out a detailed overview of all aspects of the proposed Carrownagowan Wind Farm project. We acknowledge that this is by no means ideal, but please be assured that we will continue to make every effort to ensure that we provide you with all the information you need in order to fully understand the details of this proposed project and also make available the necessary resources within our team to support any engagement. Once you have had a chance to read through this brochure, please do make contact with any of the team using the contact details at the back if you have any areas of the project you wish to discuss further.
