The aims of such studies were to identify the environmental impacts of drainage maintenance in OPW channels and to develop alternative strategies that would facilitate environmentally friendly maintenance programmes. In recent years a number of legislative and national polices, such as the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), the EU Habitats Directive and the National Biodiversity Plan have increased the need for the OPW to consider the ecology of the environment in which they work in. As part fulfilment of these issues the OPW initiated the current five year research project with IFI - Environmental

  • Ireland Under the Normans Goddard Henry Orpen
    The Sub-Infeudation Of Connaught 1237 And Afterwards Ireland Under The Normans 1169-1216 By Goddard Henry Orpen LATE SCHOLAR OF TRINITY COLLEGE,DUBLIN EDITOR OF 'THE SONG OF DERMOT AND THE EARL ' MEMBER OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY 1911 Richard de Burgh had now a free hand in Connaught, and though sundry attempts at occupation had been made at various times since the beginning of the century, the effective settlement of Anglo- Normans in the province may be said to have commenced in 1237. In that year, says the Irish annalist, ‘ the barons of Erin came and commenced to build castles in it’. In the following year ‘ castles were erected in Muinter Murchada (the northern half of the barony of Clare, County Galway), Conmaicne Cuile (the barony of Kilmaine, south of the river Robe, County Mayo), and in Cera (the barony of Carra, County Mayo) by the aforesaid barons’. [1] Save for personal quarrels among the O’Conors themselves the peace was unbroken. Unfortunately there is no contemporary summary of Richard de Burgh’s enfeoffments, such as the Song of Dermot gives of those of Strongbow and the elder Hugh de Lacy, and though there trans- cripts in the ‘ Red Book of the Earl of Kildare’ and in the ‘ Gormanston Register’ of several charters of this period, we are largely dependent on indications in the annals, and on inferences from later documents and records for our knowledge of the Anglo-Norman settlement in Connaught. Indeed the first comprehensive account is to be gleaned from the Inquisitions taken in 1333 [2] after the murder of William de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, fifteen years after the great disruption caused by the Scottish invasion under Edward Bruce, and at a time when the royal power in Ireland had begun to wax faint.

BRACKEN TIlE AGE AND GROWTH OF PIKE Esox lucius FROM FOUR IRISH TROUT RIVERS The age and growth of pike Esox lucius from four Irish trout rivers by J. J. BRACKEN Zoological Department, University College, Dublin. ABSTRACT Age and growth of pike Esox lucius L. taken by electrical fishing in four typical Irish trout rivers were determined, using isometric axis of scales. Age data showed that young pike dominated in catches in all four rivers. Very few pike older than four yc'ars were captured. Growth of pike in these rivers was compared with earlier results obtained for lake pike. River pike were much smaller than fish of similar age from the larger limestone' lakes. Tag and recapture data from the Camlin river" confirmed that mean growth results were very similar to back-calculated means per year class. Data showed little movement of pike within this system and that electrical fishing was reasonably efficient for clearance' of coarse fish in shallow trout waters. Stomach contents of pike taken in Robe and Camlin rivers were qualitatively analysed. Since 1952 the Inland Fisheries Trust's development programme has included the removal 01 pike and other coarse fishes from a number of Irish trout lakes and rivers.

  • Patrick Went Further West. the Life and Writings of St. Patrick With
    Patrick went further west. The Life and Writings of St. Patrick with Appendices, Etc By The Most Rev. Dr. Healy, Archbishop of Tuam. 1905 • I. — Patrick amongst Ciarraige of Mayo. THENCE from ‘ Ciarraige Airtech’ Patrick went further west to ‘ Ciarraige Arne,’ where he met Ernaisc and his son, Loarnach, sitting under a tree. And Patrick wrote an alphabet or catechism for the youth Loarnach, and he remained with him—Patrick and his family of twelve men [1]—for a week, or more. And Patrick founded a church in that place, and made him the abbot or superior thereof, and he was, indeed, a man full of the Holy Spirit. This shows us what we know otherwise must be true—that Patrick spent a week, or some- times a fortnight, in each new district, preaching, baptising, and building his church with the help of the willing hands of the people. On Sunday he consecrated it ; and when he had no man of his own ‘ family’ ready to place over it he took some other likely youth, generally a son of the chief, gave him a catechism, taught him how to say his psalter, read his missal and his ritual, and then ordained him for the service of the Church. But these boys were educated youths ; they had well-trained memories, for they generally belonged to the schools of the Bards or Brehons, and so in a very short time they could be trained to do the indispensable work of the ministry. But we must also assume that for some time they accompanied the Saint on his missionary journeys in their own neighbourhood, and when that was impossible he left one or more of his own ‘ familia’ to give them further instructions and moral guidance.

  • My Tour of Mayo 1849 the Plantation Scheme; the West of Ireland A
    My tour of Mayo 1849 The Plantation Scheme; Or, The West of Ireland As A Field for Investment. James Caird • Among the various projects for the regeneration of Ireland, none has excited so much attention as the Plantation Scheme, developed by Sir Robert Peel. It at once gained the notice of England, and raised the drooping hopes of Ireland, while it also indicated a new and untried field for the enterprise of the capitalist, landlord, and skilled farmer. At the time of its announcement, the competition for farms in Scotland, and the consequent in- crease of rent, was progressing to such a degree as materially to lessen the profits of the farmer ; and the development of the Plantation Scheme was, therefore, hailed as possibly an advantageous outlet for our agricultural capital and skill. The success of the scheme would be, in an important degree, secured, if to the philanthropic views of statesmen and great capitalist companies, could be added the narrower, but still equally essential principle, of commercial profit to the men through whom its de- velopment was to be practically accomplished. Inquiry was then made for sources of information whence might be learned the nature of the soil, its capabilities, its advantages or disadvantages, as compared with this country, and the probable feeling of the population towards immigrant farmers ; but on these points the different “ tours” in Ireland were altogether deficient. To satisfy himself, the Author resolved to visit the country ; and his tour proved so interesting and instructive to him, that he hoped its publication might, in some degree, supply the information wanted.

    Environmental Protection Agency Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Kilmaine Public Water Supply Scheme May 2014 Prepared by: Coran Kelly TOBIN With contributions from: Henning Moe, Michal Smietanka (CDM Smith), Dr. David Drew, Consultant Geologist; Dr. Caoimhe Hickey (GSI) And with assistance from: Mayo County Council, Teagasc, and local farmers Environmental Protection Agency Kilmaine SPZ PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. The project “Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones”, led by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), represents a continuation of the GSI’s work. A CDM/TOBIN/OCM project team has been retained by the EPA to establish Groundwater Source Protection Zones at monitoring points in the EPA’s National Groundwater Quality Network. A suite of maps and digital GIS layers accompany this report and the reports and maps are hosted on the EPA and GSI websites (www.epa.ie; www.gsi.ie). ii Environmental Protection Agency Kilmaine SPZ TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................
