The first Irish railway opened in Dublin in 1834. The Dublin to Kingstown railway transported goods and COMPANY (L & C) people from Kingstown port into Ireland’s capital. William Dargan, 1799 – 1867 Called ‘the father of Ireland’s railways’, William Dargan built over 800 miles of railway across Ireland. He helped to design the island’s first modern railway, the Dublin to Kingstown, and built the lines between Belfast and Portrush. Dargan also undertook significant public works including the Ulster Canal and Belfast’s Queens Island. In 1836, Royal Assent was granted for a railway between Belfast and Lisburn, the second to be built in Ireland. Opening in May 1839, the Ulster Railway carried 3000 passengers on its first day and was a great novelty for the people of the area. Ulster’s railway network continued to expand.

He said Firmus were extending the existing 2 year capped tariff price for domestic customers for another 12 months and that a 10% reduction would be extended to top tier commercial customers, which equated to a 6% reduction in annual gas bills capped until January 2009. He added there were also proven environmental benefits from using gas through reduced carbon emissions. Mr Prentice thanked Council for converting to gas at the Roe Valley Leisure Centre and in Council offices and said the service was expected to be connected in 4 to 6 weeks time.

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.
