Cork. OVERALL DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH Timoleague is an attractive village, with its colourful houses stepping up the hillside and marvellous ruined abbey. The adjudicator noticed many improvements since last visiting the village. Your three to five year work programme, formulated as it was in February 1999 is now half way through and you seem to have successfully achieved many of the objectives you set yourselves. Maybe for next year’s competition you could set a timescale against these projects. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Many of the buildings of the village appeared extremely bright, fresh and colourful. The charming centrally located Catholic Church looked most attractive, especially the side entrance area off Chapel Hill. The railings to the main entrance on Main Street will perhaps need to be painted up before next year’s competition. The Church of Ireland and grounds looked extremely well maintained. The National School looked extremely fresh but some weeding was necessary to its playground area. The public toilets adjacent to the Abbey looked fine as did the Community Centre. Pad Joe’s looked most attractive in pink with blue trims and its abundant window boxes. -

I was born in Lislevane on 31st August, 1896. My parents were farmers. I was educated at Lislevane National School until I was about 12 years of age when I then attended Evening Classes under the Board of Education for four nights each week from 7.15 p.m. to 9.15 p.m. until about the year 1918. In November, 1915, a public meeting to organise a unit of Irish Volunteers was held in Lislevane. It was attended by Terence McSwiney, Cork, who was in Volunteer uniform. This meeting was also attended by Volunteer units from Ballinadee and the surrounding area as well as by units from Lyre and district. Jeremiah O'Brien, Curraheen, was Chairman of the meeting, which was addressed by Terence McSwiney and James Cahalane, Clonakilty. The meeting was attended by members of the R.I.C. from Courtmacsherry and Timoleague, who watched a parade of 32 local men who joined up and paraded after the meeting under Terence McSwiney. -

Liam Dromey Supervisors: Kieran Ruane John Justin Murphy Brian O’Rourke __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract A Bridge Rehabilitation Strategy based on the Analysis of a Dataset of Bridge Inspections in Co. Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs. -
Rathvilly Waste Water Works – Section C 1 SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant the Wastewater
SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant The wastewater treatment plant in Rathvilly was constructed in 1954 on an inclined site approximately 350m west of the town centre. There is no electricity supply on site. A strip of land to accommodate a new access roadway to the site has recently been purchased by Carlow County Council. This new access roadway is parallel to and near the River Slaney and will provide access to the site from the N81 to the south of Rathvilly Bridge. This access roadway is fenced on both sides, and is provided with gates to facilitate access to surrounding fields by the landowner. The area of the original wastewater treatment plant site is 0.19 ha, and with the recent acquisition by Carlow County Council of adjacent land to accommodate the upgraded plant, the total site area has increased to approximately 0.39 ha. The existing wastewater treatment process comprises a traditional twin percolating filter system with primary treatment upstream in an Imhoff tank and downstream secondary settlement in humus tanks. The treatment system was originally designed to treat the wastewater from a population equivalent of 600 and is now receiving a higher estimated loading corresponding to a population equivalent in excess of 1,000. The system operates entirely on gravity flow and incorporates no pumping or electrical equipment. Raw wastewater from the town discharges to an inlet chamber at the head of the treatment plant via two 225 mm diameter gravity sewers (one from Ballyoliver and the other form the town) and a pumped main from the northern bank of the River For inspection purposes only. -
