Noreen welcomed the Lord Mayor and said it was a great privilege to welcome a Lord Mayor from the Mayfield area and she congratulated him on the excellent job he and his wife were doing for Cork. In turn the Lord Mayor congratulated everyone involved in the production of the directory and he commented on all the supports and groups that are working to make Mayfield such a vibrant area and a great place to live.

What are some of the aims of Neighbourhood Watch? To improve community safety To prevent crime To develop Gardai and community links To increase public confidence in An Gardai Síochána To foster a caring environment for older and vulnerable people To reduce anti-social behaviour, including graffiti and harassment.

Cork City is a City Rising. Retail units are opening for business in the €50m Capitol retail and office complex. Work has started on the €90 million Navigation House office development on Albert Quay and over the summer, Cork City Council agreed the sale of 7-9 Parnell Place and 1-2 Deane Street to Tetrarch Capital who propose to build a budget boutique hotel and designer hostel with ground floor restaurants and bars. Earlier this year, Boole House was handed over to UCC and also over the summer, the Presentation Sisters opened Nano Nagle Place on Douglas Street. This is all progress. Our strategy at Cork City Council has been to deliver for the Cork region through a revitalised, vibrant city centre – to our mind, the city centre is the ‘healthy heart’ of Cork.

  • Cork City Libraries Summer Reading Challenge 2019 | Join Red and His Friends for a Summer of Reading Fun | Register Now
    corkcitylibraries.ie Events Edition July/August 2019 18 Photo Claire Keogh You hold in your hands a very special publication – the first Events of the New City. On 31 May many months of planning and preparation came to fruition when Ballincollig, Glanmire, and Blarney Libraries joined the City Libraries network. They join the other seven libraries – the City Library on Grand Parade, - Hollyhill, Blackpool and Mayfield libraries on the Northside, as well as Douglas, Tory Top and Bishopstown Libraries south of the river, making a much stronger library network. Cork City Council Libraries do not see the revision of the City Council boundary as the City Council Library Service expanding and, in the process, absorbing three new libraries and the surrounding catchment areas. Rather, we see it as an opportunity to create a new Library Service for a New City. We bring with us all that we as a service have learned in 127 years, our many strengths and achievements. We must be – and will be – open to other ideas and ways of doing things. We will be open to the experiences of the staff and patrons of our new libraries, in Ballincollig, Glanmire, and Blarney. Highlights this summer include Heritage Week, which runs from 17 to 25 August, ‘Branch Out and Read’, our summer reading challenge for kids as well as ‘The Summer School of Creative Writing’ which takes place in the City Library, Ballincollig and Glanmire Libraries. The new city will also see a host of exhibitions on display in all our libraries. Looking forward to seeing you, your family and friends in your local library during the first summer of our New City.

  • SEAI Registered Technical Advisor Must Be Engaged by the Homeowner As Part of the Application Process
    SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AUTHORITY OF IRELAND Better Energy Programmes List of Registered Technical Advisors Version 1.1 2019 SEAI List of Registered Technical Advisors 1. Introduction The installation of Heat Pump systems is funded by SEAI under the Better Energy Homes (BEH) programme. One of the requirements for a dwelling to qualify for a grant for heat pump systems is that the energy performance of the dwelling fabric is suitable for heat pump system installation. This is to ensure the heat pump system performs well and the dwelling’s electricity bills are not too high. This can be achieved by insulating the dwelling and/or by upgrading the windows. SEAI aims for installed heat pump systems to be as efficient and effective as is feasible. To make this possible, an independent SEAI Registered Technical Advisor must be engaged by the homeowner as part of the application process. The Technical Advisor guides the homeowner on the energy performance of the dwelling, particularly on the suitability of the dwelling for a heat pump system based on the dwelling’s heat loss. They also provide the homeowner with independent guidance on measures necessary to ensure that the dwelling fabric heat loss is lowered to an acceptable level for a heat pump system to perform effectively and efficiently. The required heat loss level is expressed as a Heat Loss Indicator of 2 Watts/Kelvin/m2. Note: SEAI also offers grants for home insulation. The Better Energy Homes programme offers a grant of €200 towards the Technical Assessment of the dwelling, with the grant only payable in conjunction with the heat pump system grant.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
