Report production: July 2009 Consultation: August 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat that has been shown to play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at landscape level. However, ponds are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. In 2007, the biodiversity importance of ponds was recognised when high quality ponds (Priority Ponds) were added to the list of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats.

  • Lough-Beg-Wetlands-A6-Road-103190.Pdf
    Disrespecting 'everyday miracles and the living past' The Lough Beg wetlands are magnificent If you stand on Aughrim Hill or visit Church Island, you will be touched by this ancient and beautiful landscape, and most likely you will be alone. The Lough Beg wetlands are hidden from view and, apart from the calls of Whooper swans and other birds, they are silent. Until now. It is a matter of urgent concern that a motorway is proposed for these wetlands. It is “a terrible mistake, one that in future years will seem as incomprehensible as it is careless”1. This road poses an unfathomable threat. It will rise high above existing ground level to forever fragment and ‘desecrate’ this landscape. Drawing in other developments in its wake, the serenity and ecology of this once intact wetland will become industrialised and we will have lost a global treasure. This is an urgent briefing, a final appeal to our government to urgently review this section of road, to revise the Environmental Impact Assessment and not to take any further decision until we have a new government and an elected Minister in place. We also appeal to the international community to help save this global treasure. This is urgent because the government seems determined to push this through. As we write this briefing we do not have a government. There is a legal challenge taken by Chris Murphy that may succeed but the High Court is not permitted to look at the merits of the case. The context behind our concerns: Why this route when there are better alternatives? There are much better alternatives to this 4 miles of route and these other options were not properly considered.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

This volume has been prepared in accordance vvith the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at JJ?-idnight of the 28th February-1st March, 1937. The statistics contained herein supersede those contained in the Preliminary Report published in July, 1937, and may be regarded as final. The census which was taken in 1937 was a special one in the sense that it was limited .in .scope and was taken during the interval between normal census years, thus bndg1ng the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain ques~ions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and Industry, were not asked, but a ne\v question as to usual residence \Vas in­ cluded for the first time. The 1937 census publications \Vill consist of :- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of townlands, similar to those given in table 4, have been prepared in the Census Office and are available for reference upon application to the Registrar General.
