The walking and cycling strategy for Castleblayney will help to develop the town with a network of safe and convenient walking and cycling routes that will improve the quality of life for everybody in the community by prioritising walking and cycling for travel to work, education, shopping and day to day business in the town whilst also providing high quality routes for leisure and fitness activities. 1.2 OBJECTIVES Consultation undertaken as part of this strategy has demonstrated the strong sense of community within Castleblayney and the pride in the existing facilities and potential future facilities in the area around Lough Muckno. There was a clear desire for improved walking and cycling provision for leisure and recreation and for access to key destinations such as the local schools and it was evident from the consultation that a multi- agency group consisting of local and countywide bodies should be developed to assist with the implementation of the strategy and to build relationships that will help promote walking and cycling within the town and identify future measures to contain the ongoing promotion of walking and cycling.

ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21 STATEMENT BY WITNESS 576 DOCUMENT NO. W.S. Witness Eugene Sherry, Clontibret, Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan. Identity. Member Of Clontibret (Co. Monaghan) Company Irish Volunteers, 1916 ; Captain same Company, 1919 Subject. The (a) Irish Volunteers, Co. Monaghan, 1914 ; (b) Military activities, Co. Monaghan, 1920-1921. Conditions, If Any, Stipulated by Witness. S.1831. File No Form B.S.M.2 Statement by Eugene Sherry, Clontibret, Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan. I joined the Volunteers early probably before 1916. 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.

BLA.C K, _-_-__-_--- -._ . .__-_-- ^ -_ __ NOTICE. IN 1872 I had the advantage of examining part of the country comprised in sheets adjacent to No. 59, with Professor Hull and Mr. Traill, and was struck with the skilful manner in which the origins and different ages of the granitic masses had been deter- mined, The following explanation of Sheet 59, by Mr. Egan, is of great interest, involving as it does an account of part of Lower Silurian and Crystalline Rocks of an area, in which the history of the metamorphism of Silurian strata into granite, and the Geological dates of various igneous rocks, has been clearly illus- trated by the author. ANDREW C. RAMSAY, Director-General. June, 1877. PREFACE. THE following Memoir by Mr. Egan is descriptive of a portion of one of the most remarkable districts in Ireland, as illustrating the results of volcanic and metamorphic action in past-geological time, and the varieties of pyroxenic and felspathic products resulting from vents in close proximity, and which were in action at nearly the same period.

Lismore Castle Papers Descriptive List Waterford County Archives
Lismore Castle Papers LISMORE CASTLE PAPERS DESCRIPTIVE LIST WATERFORD COUNTY ARCHIVES IE/WCA/PP/LISM 1 Lismore Castle Papers Repository Repository Name: Waterford County Archives Identity Statement Reference Code: IE WCA PP LISM Titles: Lismore Castle Estate Papers Dates: [1750]-31 December 1969 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 208 boxes Creator Creators: Lismore Estate, Irish Estates of the Dukes of Devonshire Administrative History: Lismore Castle was the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire in Ireland. William, the 4th Duke of Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd Earl of Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork became part of the estates of the Dukes of Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford by agents living and working from Lismore Castle and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon to administer the lands and properties located in the areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork. The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead, the estate was administered by agents who were closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire through a series of detailed and, in some cases, daily, correspondence. During the period covered by these papers there were a number of holders of the title of Duke of Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811) who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William Spencer Cavendish, the 6th Duke (1790-1858), 2 Lismore Castle Papers known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively remodeled Lismore Castle.
