The Old Schoolhouse, Clonsilla, Dublin 15 Archaeological Assessment SUMMARY A desk-based study and field survey was carried out on a site at Porterstown Road, Clonsilla, Dublin 15. The site is located directly north of and on the embankment of the Royal Canal. It will be subject to a future application for a residential development under the SHD process. This Archaeological Impact Assessment report sought to identify and describe known and potential archaeological or cultural heritage constraints within and/or immediately adjacent to the site. The following factors were identified in the course of desktop study: o The site is situated on a large embankment on the north bank of the Royal Canal. o There are no Recorded Monuments within the site o No potential new archaeological features were recorded in cartographic sources. o No potential new archaeological features were recorded in aerial photos of the subject site. o The Old Schoolhouse, located at the east of the site is a Protected Structure o No archaeological excavations have been undertaken previously within the subject site. o No stray finds from the NMI topographical files can be directly attributed to the subject site. o No areas of archaeological potential were noted during the walkover survey. There is low potential that buried archaeological remains will be adversely impacted by the proposed development. Recommendation 1 It is recommended that should building works proceed, any groundworks should be monitored by a suitably qualified archaeologist. Recommendation 2 It is recommended that should building works proceed, a building survey should be undertaken at RPS 700, Clonsilla Schoolhouse in order to record the existing structure in advance of any modifications/refurbishments. NOTE: All conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are subject to the approval of The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) and the relevant local authorities. As the statutory body responsible for the protection of Ireland’s archaeological and cultural heritage resource, the DHLGH may issue alternative or additional recommendations.

Dublin 5 December 2007 Dear Sirs, On behalf of DUBLIN 15 COMMUNITY COUNCIL I wish to make the following observations on the Clonsilla Village Urban Centre Strategy, DUBLIN 15. The area is bounded by the Clonsilla Road to the North, the Maynooth rail line to the South, Clonsilla rail station to the West and the Dr Troy Bridge to the East. The intent of the strategy is to create a realistic vision for the future enhancement of the vitality and viability of the Village as an Urban Centre within Dublin 15, providing a framework to guide the formulation of future development proposals. We have structured our submission to address the issues for investigation in the strategy: o Proposals for the co-ordinated development of greenfield sites and future infill development o Creation of a network of safe pedestrian and cyclist routes o Traffic management and car parking strategy for the village o Potential of the Royal Canal as a local amenity and preservation of existing local heritage o Creation of a network of public open spaces and an enhanced public realm and character within the Village Dublin 15 Community Council Page 1 of 8 1.0 Current situation: Clonsilla Village has grown organically over a long period of time, in comparison with the rest of Dublin 15.

Co. Dublin 27 May 2009 Submission on the Draft Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park Dear Commissioners of Public Works We would like to make the following submission on Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park – Consultation Draft. 1.0 Introduction The Dublin 15 Community Council was formed 15 years ago (merging the Castleknock & Blanchardstown community councils which date from the early 1970's) to provide an umbrella organisation for the many residents and voluntary community groups in the Dublin 15 area. Residents Associations and Community groups focus on their own specific areas but often feel powerless to influence the big issues like transport, educational, recreational & sporting infrastructure or crime prevention. The Community Council provides a forum to discuss these issues and potential solutions. Our main objective is to develop the consensus views of the Dublin 15 community in matters relating to Planning & Development, Public Transport, Environment, Education, Health Care, Policing, Job Creation, Recreational Facilities, General Infrastructure and Tourist facilities. Having developed the consensus, make representation to State and other Statutory Bodies through a wide variety of communication channels, with the aim of improving the quality of life for the residents of Dublin 15. Page 1 of 5 2.0 Major problems Blanchardstown was earmarked from the early seventies as one of County Dublin’s’ three new towns. It has been anticipated for the past twenty years that this area would eventually accommodate a population of circa 100,000 persons.

  • 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.

Dublin Cycling Campaign is a member of Cyclist.ie (www.cyclist.ie), the Irish Cycling Advocacy Network, is the network in Ireland of Cycle ​ ​ Campaign, Bike Festival, and Greenway Groups, and is the Irish member of the European Cyclists’ Federation (www.ecf.com). Our aim is to make Fingal a safe and friendly place for ​ ​ everyone, of all ages, to cycle and walk. Dublin and Fingal Cycling Campaign welcome Fingal County Council’s intent to improve walking and cycling infrastructure We welcome the DART+ West line improvements which will move Dublin's transport sector to a more sustainable mode of transport in light of the climate emergency. This submission will focus on all level crossings West of Ashtown. There will be similar issues raised from our Ashtown submission. We urge Irish Rail to take into consideration our recommendations as suggested below. GENERAL COMMENTS There are pros and cons for use of either an underpass or a bridge. Fingal Cycling Campaign is recommending an underpass where possible. This submission will focus on the following level crossings Coolmine Porterstown Clonsilla Barberstown Blakestown The benefits of an underpass are that it's protected from the elements such as wind and rain and cyclists don’t have to deal with an incline to cycle over the royal canal, as they would approaching a bridge.

  • Genesis Report
    Genesis Psychotherapy Family Therapy Service: An Evaluation and Review Professor Alan Carr, Dr. Gregor Lange and Sr. Jo Kennedy Citation: Carr, A., Lange, G. & Kennedy, J. (2004). Evaluation of the Genesis Counselling Service. Dublin: Northern Area Health Board. 1 What clients said about Genesis…. “The counselling was a life saving thing to do. I didn’t know what else to do, where else to go…” “All I can say is that only for it I would have been lost! For me now it has been a brilliant service.” “It was like learning to step back and think about the other person. She made us think and put us on the right track.” 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Corduff Counselling Service was the forerunner of the Genesis Psychotherapy Family Therapy Service (hereafter referred to as Genesis). It was established in 1993 by the Corduff Community Core Group as a community service to provide psychotherapy and counselling to individuals, couples and families in Corduff and the Greater Blanchardstown area. It was initially set up and managed by voluntary staff, who had trained at the Clanwilliam Institute, to provide a systemic family therapy service to clients in the local community. Over an 11 year period the service has developed considerably in size and professionalism and now serves the Dublin 15 area or Community Care Area 6. Aim The aim of this service evaluation and review was to assess the effectiveness of Genesis and identify the optimal path for future development. Method To address these questions, key people from the organization were interviewed. These included the manager, management committee, therapists, supervisors, administrators and a colleague from the supporting Northern Area Health Board.
