  • Croaghaun Windfarm
    Mountaineering Ireland’s response to Carlow County Council re planning application 2113 - Croaghaun windfarm 25th February 2021 1 Contents 1. Introduction and context 3 2. Impact on Walking in the Blackstairs Mountains 3 3. Landscape and Visual Impact 7 4. Planning Context 9 5. Conclusions 11 6. About Mountaineering Ireland 11 References 12 2 1. Introduction and Context As the representative body for hillwalkers and climbers on the island of Ireland, Mountaineering Ireland has a particular concern for ensuring the sustainable use of Ireland’s upland areas. Mountaineering Ireland therefore represents a community of interest in this application, drawn from Co. Carlow, the south east, and across the island of Ireland. The Blackstairs Mountains are a hugely significant element landscape of the south-east, this chain of rounded granite mountains rises between the beautiful Barrow valley and the lowlands of Wexford, marking the boundary between counties Carlow and Wexford and forming a landscape cherished for its scenic qualities. The proposal is for a development comprising seven wind turbines with an overall height of up to 178m, mainly within Coillte forestry on Kilbrannish Hill, immediately north of the Corrabut Gap. The site is 3km north east of the well-known Nine Stones viewing point and less than 5km from the summit of Mount Leinster, the highest point in both Co. Carlow and Co. Wexford. The applicant is Coillte CGA. Commercial windfarms on this scale should be described as wind factories. Mountaineering Ireland is strongly of the view that the proposed development would be unacceptably damaging to the visual amenity and landscape character of this area.

  • Annual Report 2016 Carlow County Council
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 CARLOW COUNTY COUNCIL FOREWORD We are pleased to introduce the Carlow County Council Annual Report 2016, which outlines the work of the Council in delivering important public services during the year, all of which contribute to making County Carlow an attractive place in which to work, live and do business. 2016 has seen the strengthening of the Council’s role in economic development and community development and this is welcomed by all. It must be acknowledged that the changing economic climate both at national and local levels have made a defining influence on the extent to which our services are delivered. Despite the reduction in human and financial resources in recent years, Carlow County Council continues to deliver a high standard of service. The Council’s policy is to “do more with less” and to achieve greater efficiencies where possible. Our staff, with the support and leadership of the elected members, continue to maintain and deliver quality services as referenced in our Corporate Plan 2014-2019, whilst also keeping the Council on a firm financial standing. Similar to all local authorities in the country, Carlow County Council relies heavily on government funding. It follows that a reduction in overall funding can profoundly impact on our capacity to deliver our services. The external and internal environments continue to shape and influence the allocation and provision of resources and the strategic direction of Carlow County Council. For our achievements to date and there have been many, we wish to thank the Elected Members for their support and all of the employees of the Council for their continuing dedicated work ethic.

  • Soils of Co. Carlow
    Soil Survey Bulletin No. 17 Soils of Co. Carlow by M. J. Conry and Pierce Ryan National Soil Survey of Ireland An Foras Taluntais (THE AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE) Published by an Foras Taluntais, 33 Merrion Road, Dublin 4. Price: Thirty Shillings FOREWORD The programme of the National Soil Survey for determining the fundamental characteristics of Irish soils and for mapping their distribution was initiated shortly after An Foras Taliintais commenced activities in 1958. Its primary aim is to develop an inventory of our soil resources as a basis for rational land-use planning. The main activities of this survey are being carried out on a county basis. When introducing the first of the reports in the county series—that covering the Soils of County Wexford—the role of soil survey in agricultural development, and indeed in general planning activities, was outlined. Carlow, although small in extent, is one of the most important agricultural areas in the country. It is also a county of contrasts, in its general landscape features, in its soils and in its agriculture. The rolling lowlands of the extensive central portion of the county are dominated by deep, well-drained fertile soils. These are devoted to mixed farming with a high proportion of tillage and a fair concentration of live­ stock, principally dairy cattle and sheep. The hills associated mainly with the Castlecomer Plateau consist of physically difficult and mostly poorly drained soils. Here livestock farming is at a low to moderately intensive level and forestry is being extended. On the steeply sloping flanks of the Blackstairs Mountains, which carry degraded mineral soils on the lower slopes and peats at the higher elevations, the emphasis is on sheep raising mostly at low intensity levels, and forestry is proving a useful alternative form of land use.
