  • Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick Native I Feel Passionately About My Home
    Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick native I feel passionately about my home town, Limerick City. I applaud the efforts made by all those involved so far but feel that there should be significantly more ambition in terms of our housing and public transport networks. Limerick is at a size currently that allows us to plan for future growth, which is why we need to design and implement a light rail network now ahead of that growth, one which we can grow into in the future. I would implore you to design the city with a population of 300,000 in mind. I would also suggest and request that Limerick-Shannon, Cork and Waterford be allowed to update their MASPS as and when local development plans are put in place. For ease of reference I have attached a clean copy and marked up version of the Draft RSES which show my proposed and considered changes to the existing draft RSES. I trust you will take them under consideration. Thanking you in advance. Is mise le meas, p.s. I sent this email and its attachments from my personal account earlier today and also made a submission online. Apologies for the overlap. 1.0 | Introduction 1.1 | Overview Limerick City is the largest urban centre in Ireland’s Mid-West and the country’s third largest city. The NPF supports ambitious growth targets to enable Limerick City to grow by at least 50% to 2040 and to enhance its significant potential to become a city of scale. Shannon is a significant employment centre with assets such as Shannon International Airport, Shannon FreeZone and the International Aviation Services Centre (IASC).

  • 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.
