Due to the slow movement of water Leslie in September 2006 at an initial cost of J233 000 through the ponds, suspended matter is deposited and there is adequate time for both aerobic and anaerobic digestion of organic matter. ICWs also demonstrate good reduction of nitrates and phosphates (generally greater than 95%). Reduction of faecal indicators is of the order of 99% due to the long retention times and the complex ecology of the aquatic system. Furthermore, ICWs also remove endocrine disrupters such as oestrogen and testosterone, which are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment systems. An ICW effectively creates the important nexus between quality, quantity and amenity in a way that no other traditional sewerage treatment works can. In rivers, phosphates are the controlling pollutants. High levels of phosphates create algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels and kill fish and invertebrates.

This is my first venture into business life having been three years umemployed. There is stiff competition here and I am finding it altogether very difficult to manage.

This organisation was of little value. We took part in drills and training. A man named Cusack came from Monaghan town and put us through training exercises. Easter Week 1916 passed without any local incident taking. place. The start of re-organising the Volunteers after 1916 took place in our area about 1919. I then joined the Clontibret Company. I was the first Company O/C and remained in charge of the Company until 1922. About thirty men joined at the start of the Company and the membership gradually increased up to the Truce when we had 63 or 64 on the rolls. Clontibret Company was part of the Monaghan town Battalion from 1919 onwards. In 1919 we had little arms some shotguns, a few pin fire revolvers-of antiquated make and some ammunition for the revolvers. We had to rely on what we had or on what we got by raiding forearms. I purchased a few revolvers myself. This was all the purchase of arms as far as I know in the Company area. In 1920 at the general raid for arms we made a canvass amongst all friendly houses within the Company area and we handed over a number of shotguns.

Blank pages are for any data that you may wish to record in regard to the names on opposite page. At the back are pages for records of births, marriages and deaths, and we ask that you keep a record of your family here as complete as possible as it may be of assistance to some in the future, who may wish to bring this history up to a fu- ture date.
