I apologisefor the delay in replying to your email. I understandthat you consideryour email of 9 March raisesnew issuesregarding your complaint againstKerry County Council. Ha,vingdiscussed the matter, Mr. Ryan explained that any new issuesyou wished this Offrce to examine should be first raised in writing with the Council and it should be given an opportunity to respond. I wish to confirm that, if you considerthere are further.issuesthe Council should now address,you should write to the Council regardingthese matters, and, if you do not receive a responsewithin six weeks, or if you are not satisfiedwith the responsereceived, you can then contact this Office again. We will then look at the matter further atthat stagewith a view to examining any mattersthatfall within the Ombudsman'sremit. However, I should add that it would appearto this Office that the issuesraised in your email - mafhave been addressedin our examination of your earlier complaint at reference Ll8l07l25I8. You will recall that in our letter dated 3 April, 2008, we advisedyou that the Council had informed this Office, in relation to the ShannonLGN project, that ' ... at the time of the variation no applicationfor such a developmenthad been lodged. In proposing the variation Kerry County Council had to be cognisant of the possibility that the project might not proceed to application stage and theproposed variationfor industrial zoning could not therefore be assessedon a project specific basis.' Points 2,3 and4 of that letter also advised of the Council's commentson your claim that the screeningprocess was inadequatedue to the fact that it did not refer to the option of ShannonLNG to purchasethe site. 1B Sr6idLiosain iochtarach, Baile Atha Cliath2. I ta Lo*"r LeesonStreet, Dublin 2. Tel:+353 1 639 5600 Fax:+353 1 639 5674 Web:wvwv.ombudsman.ie Mr. Ryan email to you dated I September,2008,also indicated that the Council had advised this Office 'In relation to the SEA and thefact that the ShannonLNG project was not assessedas part of the screeningprocess, it is worth noting that the area of lands zonedfor industrial divelopment wasfar in excessof the land requiredfor the ShannonLNG proposal. It was a voriationfor industrial rezoning and not project specificfor ShannonLNG- To have consideredShannon LNG aspart of the screeningprocesswould have involved a dffirent type of specific zoning e.g. zonedspecificallyfor a gas storqge and importationformed. There wss no guarantee that any applicationwouldbe lodgedfor this purpose and Kerry County Council was not about to underminethe industrial potential of the landfor alternative uses..... For the reqsonsstated, Kerry County Council deliberately did not wsnt to zone lands specificallyfor a gas importation terminal'' Having carefully examinedthe complaint from you at our referencenumber LI8l07l25l8, and the information submitted by Kerry County Council regarding the matter, this Office concludedthat it seemedthe Council had actedin accordancewith the correct administrative procedures and there was insufficient evidence to find that there was maladministration by Kerry County Council. Our letter to you dated 5 January,2009, indicated our view on the matter. However, if you now considerthat there are new issuesthe Council should addressregarding the matter you should put these specific points to the Council and await its reply.

Leeson Street, Dublin 2 By Email to: [email protected] c.c. [email protected] Re: Complaint concerning refusal to carry out an SEA on variation No 7 of 2007 to Kerry County Development Plan (reference L18/07/2518) Dear Mr. Ryan, Thank you for your letter dated 5 January 2009. Please note that, as I already pointed out to you in my letter of 16 April 2008, the fact that the area was being rezoned for industrial use in a general sense - as opposed to being rezoned for an LNG terminal in particular - does not effect the real purpose of an SEA screening decision. The criteria for determining whether the variation to the development plan requires an SEA is determined by whether or not “the plan is LIKELY to have significant effects on the environment” and by “the characteristics of the effects and of the area LIKELY to be effected”1. Secondly, Kerry County Council claims that since the LNG project might not proceed to planning application stage its decision to ignore the possibility of a Seveso II LNG terminal in the SEA screening is justified. This justification is contradicted by the fact that MONEY HAD ALREADY CHANGED HANDS when the decision to rezone without an SEA took place on March 12th 2007. Shannon Foynes Port Company made publicly available, in June 2008, the information of the option- to-purchase agreement between Shannon Development and Shannon LNG being conditional on obtaining planning permission within 2 years2. From Shannon LNG accounts lodged with the Companies Registration Office, attached below, for year ended 31 December 2006, it is noted that Shannon LNG had already paid at least €493,000 to Shannon Development by December 2006 1 See Schedule 2A of the Planning and Development (Strategic Environmental Assessment) Regulations 2004 2 http://www.sfpc.ie/LNG_01_Shannon-Issue%201.pdf Section 3.1 page 22 (three months before the vote) and this figure rose to €1,233,000 by year end December 31st 2007 (although it is not clear if this extra €740,000 in 2007 was paid before or after the vote of March 12th 2007). The sums of money transferred speak for themselves. Councillor John Brassil, a director of Shannon Development at the time of the signing of the option to purchase with Shannon LNG had asked the Executive of Kerry County Council to give this LNG project “every support” in the Council Meeting of 20 June 2006. The senior management team announced at that meeting to oversee the LNG project were confirmed by you in your letter of January 5th 2009 as consisting of Martin Riordan, Tom Curran, Michael McMahon and Tom Sheehy. I ask that you now consider my complaint in the light of the fact that nearly half a million euros had changed hands before the decision to rezone took place. It at least proves that the LNG proposal was likely to go ahead, does it not? I await your feedback.

N/A Project Date 22nd April 2002 Report Date 20th November 2002 Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd. Ballincollig Bypass, Greenfield 4 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY The N22 Ballincollig By-Pass scheme involves the construction of a new dual carriageway between Bishopstown (Ballinaspig More townland) and Ovens (Knockanemore townland) and covers an area of 750,000 square metres. A programme of advance archaeological investigation was undertaken prior to construction under licence number 01E0546 and involved excavating a 2m wide test trench along the centre line of the proposed route with offset trenches to the edge of the road-take every 25m on alternate sides. In addition to the five sites of archaeological potential identified through the archaeological impact assessment, eleven sites identified during the course of this investigation were subsequently excavated. With this phase of the project completed, March 2002 saw the commencement of the topsoil removal which was accompanied by a programme of archaeological monitoring of same under licence number 02E0058. During this monitoring, an isolated feature was exposed within the townland of Greenfield consisting of a small oval-shaped pit filled by a black charcoal-stained soil and heat-shattered stone.

Consequently in order to determine the long-term run-off from each of the catchments at the possible discharge points, an average annual rainfall of 1336mm is assumed. This is the average rainfall on the Feale catchment, which is the closest catchment to the River Tyshe with recorded data. The catchment lies in Hydrometric Area 23 in which the estimated annual losses due to evapo-transpiration are 490mm. Thus, the average annual run-off is 1336 – 490 = 846mm/annum, which is equivalent to an average daily flow (ADF) (846 x 1.0 x 106) (1000 x 365.25) = 2,316 m3/d/km2 (0.027 l/s/km2) of catchment area. In the absence of recorded river dry weather and 95 percentile flow data, it is necessary to attempt to calculate what the flows might be for the River Tyshe using the estimated average daily flow.

  • The Kerry Way Self Guided | Free Download
    The Kerry Way: Self-Guided How to plan your multi-day backpacking trip around Ireland’s scenic Ring of Kerry Many are familiar with the beautiful Ring of Kerry in County Kerry, Ireland, but far fewer are aware that the entire route can be walked instead of driven. Despite The Kerry Way’s status as one of the most popular of Ireland’s National Waymarked Trails, I had more difficulty finding advice to help me prepare for it than I did for hikes in Scotland and the United Kingdom. At approximately 135 miles, it’s also the longest of Ireland’s trails, and in retrospect I’ve noticed that many companies who offer self-guided itineraries actually cut off two whole sections of the route - in my opinion, some of the prettiest sections. In honor of completing my own trek with nothing but online articles and digital apps to guide the way, I thought I’d pay it forward by creating my own budget-minded backpacker’s guide (for the WHOLE route) so that others might benefit from what I learned. If you prefer to stay in B&Bs rather than camping or budget accommodations, I’ve outlined how you can swap out some of my choices for your own. Stats: English Name: The Kerry Way Irish Name: Slí Uíbh Ráthaigh Location: Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland Official Length: 135 miles (217 km), but there are multiple route options Completion Time: 9 Days is the typical schedule High Point: 1,263ft (385m) at Windy Gap, between Glencar and Glenbeigh Route Style: Circular Loop Table of Contents: (Click to Jump To) Preparedness: Things to Consider Weather Gear Amenities Currency Language Wildlife Cell Service Physical Fitness Popularity Waymarking To Camp or Not to Camp?

By Email only to: bord@Pleanála.ie Re: GA0003 - Gas pipeline to connect Shannon LNG Terminal at Ralappane, Co. Kerry to existing natural gas network at Leahys, Co. Limerick and DA0003 - Application for an acquisition order for the Shannon LNG Terminal at Tarbert, Co. Kerry to the Bord G áis Eireann Network at Foynes, County Limerick Dear Sir / Madam, The Kicolgan Residents Association represents nearby residents of the proposed LNG regasification terminal and people with close family and economic ties to the area. The ‘Safety Before LNG’ group represents people from both Kilcolgan and the wider community and is advocating responsible strategic siting of LNG terminals in areas which do not put people’s health and safety in danger. See attached signed submissions by Ms. Kathy Sinnott M.E.P1 and Mr. Tony Lowes for “Friends of the Irish Environment”2 on whose behalf this submission is also, therefore, being made. We are hereby formally objecting to the proposed Shannon LNG Natural Gas pipeline and compulsory acquisition order, referenced above, in their entirety, on health, safety, environmental and strategic planning grounds. In May 2006 Shannon LNG, a subsidiary of the American Hess Corporation, announced an option to purchase, subject to planning, the lands at Kilcolgan owned by Shannon Development, of which Councillor John Brassil was a director, to construct an LNG terminal for a price believed by us to be in the region of 28.1 million euros3.
