  • The Earl of Thomond's 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co
    McInerney Thomond 15/1/14 10:52 AM Page 173 North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 53, 2013 173 The Earl of Thomond’s 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co. Clare LUKE McINERNEY A transcription and discussion of an early seventeenth century survey of a Co. Clare barony. The chief value of the document is that it represents the earliest rent-roll detailing the Earl of Thomond’s estate in Co. Clare and merits study not least because it is one of the most comprehensive surveys of its type for early seventeenth century Co. Clare. Furthermore, it may be used to ascertain the landholding matrix of Ibrickan and to identify the chief tenants. Presented here is a survey undertaken of the barony of Ibrickan in Co. Clare in 1615.1 The survey covered the entire 63 quarters of the barony. It is lodged at Petworth House archive among the collection of Thomond Papers there.2 At present, our understanding of the changes in landholding for Ibrickan is hindered by the fact that the returns in the 1641 Books of Survey and Distribution3 show that by that time proprietorship of the barony was exclusively in the hands of the Earl of Thomond and few under-tenants are recorded. Having a full list of the chief tenants which dates from the second decade of the seven- teenth century augments our understanding of the changes wrought to landholding, inheritance and social relations in Gaelic regions at a critical juncture in Irish history following the battle of Kinsale. This 1615 survey of part of the extensive estate of the Earl of Thomond serves to focus our gaze at a lower echelon of Gaelic society.

  • 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.

Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme. 1.1 Discharge licensing. 1.2 Rural Water Programme. 1.3 Development Plan. 2. Developer Provided Infrastructure (DPI). 3. Capital Programme Irish Water Investment Plan 2020 to 2024. 4. Recommendations. 1.0 Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme For County Clare the issue of un-sewered towns and villages is of great concern. It is preventing housing developments, commercial interest and growth of communities in rural villages and towns which is having a negative social and economic impact and leading to further depopulation in these settlements. Under Irish Water’s “Investment Plan 2020-2024 for CRU Review Appendix 2B-Stakeholder Engagement Feedback from Stage 2 “ (pages 104/105) they have elaborated on their proposals with regard to the Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme. Extract from Appendix 2B-Stakeholder Engagement Feedback. “Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme Feedback from respondents on this theme included the following: Welcome for the clarification provided that the Programme was not restricted to agglomerations above 500 PE; Concern with the response given in the Draft Investment Plan on the use of Rural Regeneration Development Fund of the NDP to provide wastewater capacity in un-sewered villages; Respondents stated their view that the proposed funding allocation methodology, based on the wastewater treatment capacity register for plants above 500 PE, would not be fair to all counties as it doesn’t consider capacity deficits in plants below 500 PE; and 105 | Irish Water | Investment Plan (2020 to 2024) for CRU Determination The importance of balanced regional development and attention to investment requirements in rural towns and villages.

  • Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [With Index]
    Luke McInerney Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [with index] The Petworth House Archive (PHA) is an important and under-exploited repository for research into seventeenth and eighteenth-century Co. Clare. Petworth House, the historic seat of the earls of Egremont, holds primary source material relating to the estates of the earls of Thomond in North Munster, chiefly for Co. Clare but also Co. Limerick and Co. Tipperary. The material preserved at Petworth contains a range of material includ- ing estate management documentation, correspondence, accounts, legal papers, military, parliamentary papers, family history, maps and surveys.2 Only a small proportion of the tens of thousands of documents in the archive relate to the earls of Thomond’s Irish estates and the surviving ‘Thomond papers’ probably represent only a fraction of the original col- lection, loss and damage having taken its toll. Not all of the Thomond material is listed in the current Petworth catalogue; a large portion of the material is still available only in an unpublished early nineteenth-century manuscript catalogue. For historians of Gaelic Ireland the Thomond papers are notewor- thy as they contain detail on landholding at different social levels; key legal instruments such as inquisitions post mortem of Connor O’Brien (1581) third earl of Thomond, and Donough O’Brien (1624) fourth earl of Thomond, are preserved in the archive, along with petitions and leases of Gaelic freeholders. Freeholders of sept-lineages petitioned for restoration of their lands as they were increasingly disenfranchised in the new land- holding matrix of seventeenth century Co.
