This report fulfills a contract with the Wildlife Service whose terms were to:- u 1) Describe, delimit, classify and evaluate all (undrained) turloughs over 10ha in area. 2) Produce a report on their status and value containingsite descriptions/evaluations in a format compatible with the CORINE database. The contract commenced in April and terminated in December 1990. -1 It was under the supervision of Mr Jim Ryan, WildlifeService, J Bray, who spent some time in the field in theearly part of the season and was of assistance throughout. The help of Nick Stewart, Tim Rich, Donal Synnott andCaitriona Douglas with certain plant identifications is acknowledged as is the ornithological and other information received from Donal Daly, Padraig Comerford, David Silk and John Wilson. J 1 2. METHODS The turloughs to be examined (Table 1 & Figure 1)during the survey were taken as the list of undrained examples inCoxon r (1986) with the addition of a site in Kilkenny (Loughans)which she classified as drained. Local knowledge is however that it floods regularly. Another undrained turlough (Four Roads) came to light after fieldwork was finished and it is included inthe list of sites (Tables 1 & 6) for completeness. Each of the turloughs was visited and the plant communities 1 occurring there were recorded, together with other features of physical and biological interest. One or a series of fieldcards (p 6-7) was completed for each site and mapping information r written onto a 1:10560 map. At the outset of each visit the topmost edge ofthe turlough was established insofar as this could be done. The evidence was generally taken from the vegetation (see below) but because the spring of 1990 had seen high floods there was quitefrequently a line of flood debris, at least on the windward shore.The 1 exceptional levels in the Gort and Coole Lough turloughs werenot used for mapping since these were way above 'normal' floodheight. The floods that had occurred in this basin earlier inthe year are 1 reckoned to be once in 70 year floods (Daly, pers.comm.). At practically all sites the edges were considerably further out than those shown on the 6" O.S. surveys (and followedby Coxon). 1 As a consequence the areas included in this report arelarger by 10-30% than those recorded previously. The justification for including such an area within the. site boundary is thatall of the 1 vegetation is subject to periodic inundation and may therefore contain special genotypes and unique plant communities. The areas of the turloughs are given in Table 1 which alsoincludes the 1 river systems in which the turloughs lie. An effort was made to record the waders nesting ineach area during the breeding season. Other items of faunal interest were 1 obtained from the literature and unpublished surveys but this aspect of the report should in no way be regardedas complete. The majority of wildfowl figures are from Sheppard (in prep.). 1 I 2 7 TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF TURLOUGHS: Hydrology Name County Grid Ref. Size (x) River Estim. y/x System Catchment (y) 1.

  • Tipperary News Part 6

    Tipperary News Part 6

    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

  • Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary

    Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary

    ..;.. BALLAGHADERREEN AND THE MAYO-ROSCOMMON BOUNDARY h Map Location of Ballaa:haderreen: In 1824 the British Parliament authorised a survey of the whole island of Ireland, at a scale of six inches to one mile. This undertaking was entrusted to the military Board of Ordnance, and the survey became known as the Ordnance Survey. The beautiful 6" maps, produced as a ,result of the survey, were published over the years 1833 to 1846. The maps for County Roscommon appeared in 1837; those for County Mayo in 1838. If one wishes to find the map of the Ballaghaderreen area in that first Ordnance Survey, one turns to Mayo, sheet 74. After the first survey, the Ordnance Survey - as the surveying body became known - continued the work of mapping the country. It produced maps at different scales, and it published revisions of earlier maps. A major revision of the original 6" maps took place in the early years of this century. If one wishes to find the map of Ballaghaderreen area in this edition, one must now tum to Roscommon, sheet 8. Clearly by that time Ballaghaderreen had moved to County Roscommon. The Ordnance Survey does not, of course, decide the county boundaries. It simply follows the boundaries laid down by the bodies, who organise local government in the country. These bodies, sometime near the end of the last century, decided that the boundary between Counties Mayo and Roscommon should be re-drawn, so as to bring the Ballaghaderreen area from Mayo into Roscommon. Since the boundary was over three hundred years old at that time, it seems of interest to ask who made the change, and why they made it.

On December 7th 1914, the leader of the Irish Home Rule party, John Redmond, arrived in Tuam to speak to members of the Irish Volunteers. A few weeks before in August Britain had declared war on Germany and Redmond had in September (in a speech in Woodenbridge, Co Wexford) urged the Irish Volunteers to join the British Army: ‘Go on drilling and make yourself efficient for the work, and then account for yourselves as men, not only in Ireland itself, but wherever the firing line extends in defence of right, of freedom and religion in this war.’ He now arrived in Tuam by train to speak to the Volunteers there and to encourage them to do the same.

    Glenamaddy Community School Glenamaddy, Co.Galway

    Glenamaddy Community School Glenamaddy, Co.Galway 094 9659315 Visual Art Commission Percent for Art Scheme Information Brief 1 The Board of Management of Glenamaddy Community School, Glenamaddy, Co.Galway wishes to commission a Permanent Outdoor Sculpture which is to be funded by the Department of Education and Skills under the “percent for art scheme”. There is no specific theme for this project however we would expect the artist’s submissions to be influenced by the location of the school and the history and location of Glenamaddy town. BACKGROUND TO THIS PROJECT: Brief History of Glenamaddy: Glenamaddy is a small town in north-east Galway, half way between Tuam and Castlerea. It is generally accepted that both translations ‘Valley of the Dogs’ and ‘Valley of the Black Plain’, bear some relation to the local turlough. The nearby Lough Lurgeen – a raised bog rich in flora and fauna, is a National Heritage area of international importance and is one of the hidden gems of County Galway. The town itself began as a simple hamlet and from the 1820’s developed into a market town, spreading out from the meeting place of its famous ‘Four Roads’. Some areas of historical interest include the workhouse, the church and the town hall. Glenamaddy Union workhouse was erected in 1853 on the Creggs Road. Designed by George Wilkinson, architect, the building was based on one of his standard plans to accommodate five hundred inmates. The foundation stone of the church was laid on St. Patrick’s Day 1904. The church is neo- gothic with its graceful pointed arches.
