IN ATTENDANCE: Committee Clerk and Chief Executive. Mr James Duffy and Mrs Katrina Hope, Planning Service. APOLOGIES: Alderman G Mullan and Councillor J F McElhinney. PRESENTATION BY FIRMAS GAS: The Chair welcomed Mr Mark Prentice, General Manager, Mr Neil Holland, Sales & Marketing Manager and Mr Kevin McSherry, Engineering Manager Firmus Gas to the meeting. Mr Prentice informed members that over 1400 customers had already been connected to live gas in the North West and that they benefited from lower fuel costs through fixed price contracts. 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. Firmus representatives answered a number of queries in relation to gas to rural areas and to health & safety around the service.

Following is a quote from http://www.glendermottpc.org/?page_id=94 "The Barony of Armagh was changed into Tirkeeran about 1639, and comprised the Parishes of Cumber, Clondermot and Faughanvale... So the Parish of Glendermott is part of the Barony of Tirkeeran. It measures approximately nine miles by five miles, and has 173 acres of water. There are over 21,514 acres in the parish of which 4,410 acres is bog, mountain etc. " Next are the births/baptisms of the children of John Lowther(s) & his wife Elizabeth Kearns (or sometimes spelled Cairns) as follows: Sarah Lowthers 11 Oct 1807 John Lowthers 24 Jul 1809 William Lowthers 14 May 1811 George Lowthers 5 Sep 1813 Samuel Lowthers 7 May 1820 / bap. 7 Aug 1822 John Lowthers 16 Feb 1823 Thomas Lowthers 11 Jun 1826 Also, marriage records as follows...
