  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • A Life Cycle Assessment Approach on Swedish and Irish Beef Production
    Life Cycle Analysis – HT161 December 2016 A life cycle assessment approach on Swedish and Irish beef production Group 1 - Emma Lidell, Elvira Molin, Arash Sajadi & Emily Theokritoff 0 AG2800 Life cycle assessment Lidell, Molin, Sajadi, Theokritoff Summary This life CyCle assessment has been ConduCted to identify and Compare the environmental impacts arising from the Swedish and Irish beef produCtion systems. It is a Cradle to gate study with the funCtional unit of 1 kg of dressed weight. Several proCesses suCh as the slaughterhouse and retail in both Ireland and Sweden have been excluded since they are similar and CanCel each other out. The focus of the study has been on feed, farming and transportation during the beef production. Since this is an attributional LCA, data ColleCtion mainly Consists of average data from different online sources. Smaller differenCes in the Composition of feed were found for the two systems while a major difference between the two production systems is the lifespan of the Cattle. Based on studied literature, the average lifespan for Cattle in Sweden is 45 months while the Irish Cattle lifespan is 18 months. The impaCt Categories that have been assessed are: Climate Change, eutrophiCation, acidifiCation, land oCcupation and land transformation. In all the assessed impact categories, the Swedish beef produCtion system has a higher environmental impact than the Irish beef produCtion system, mainly due to the higher lifespan of the cattle. AcidifiCation, whiCh is the most signifiCant impact Category when analising the normalised results, differs greatly between the two systems. The Swedish beef system emits almost double the amount (1.3 kg) of SO2 Eq for 1 kg of dressed weight Compared to the Irish beef system (0.7 kg SO2 Eq/FU).

Over this time period cold spells in Ireland can be linked to solar output variations and volcanic activity both in Iceland and elsewhere. This provides a context for an exploration of the two most recent cold spells which affected Ireland in 2009Á2010 and in late 2010 and were the two worst weather disasters in recent Irish history. These latter events are examined in this context and the role of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and declining Arctic sea-ice levels are also considered. These recent events with detailed instrumental temperature records also enable a re-evaluation of the historic records of cold spells in Ireland.

  • Irish Climate Futures: Data for Decision-Making Report No
    EPA Research Report 277 Irish Climate Futures: Data for Decision-making Report No. 277 Authors: Conor Murphy, Claran Broderick, Tom K.R. Matthews, Simon Noone and Ciara Ryan Irish Climate Futures: Data for Decision-making Identified Pressures Authors: Conor Murphy, Ciaran Broderick, Tom K.R. Matthews, The realisation of a climate-resilient Ireland over the coming decades depends on decisions taken at all scales to adapt to climate change. Good decisions depend on the type and quality of information used Simon Noone and Ciara Ryan to inform planning. Building resilience requires the diversification of the types of information used to understand past and future climate variability and change, and improved insight into the plausible range of changing conditions that will need to be addressed. Informed Policy The need to adapt to climate change means that there is a demand from a variety of different users and sectors for actionable climate information. For instance, in the Irish context, guidance is provided for sectors and local authorities in developing and implementing adaptation plans. In particular, climate information is required to (1) assess the current adaptation baseline, which involves identifying extremes in the historical record and examining the vulnerabilities and impacts of these; (2) assess future climate risks; and (3) identify, assess and prioritise adaptation options. A key challenge to undertaking these tasks is identifying the kinds of climate data that are required for the development and implementation of adaptation planning. This challenge is explored and aspects are addressed as part of this research. Outputs from this work have been used to inform the Citizen’s Assembly deliberations on climate change, the National Adaptation Framework and the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action.

  • Sabatino-Etal-NH2016-Modelling
    Nat Hazards DOI 10.1007/s11069-016-2506-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Modelling sea level surges in the Firth of Clyde, a fjordic embayment in south-west Scotland 1 2 Alessandro D. Sabatino • Rory B. O’Hara Murray • 3 1 1 Alan Hills • Douglas C. Speirs • Michael R. Heath Received: 14 January 2016 / Accepted: 24 July 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Storm surges are an abnormal enhancement of the water level in response to weather perturbations. They have the capacity to cause damaging flooding of coastal regions, especially when they coincide with astronomical high spring tides. Some areas of the UK have suffered particularly damaging surge events, and the Firth of Clyde is a region with high risk due to its location and morphology. Here, we use a three-dimensional high spatial resolution hydrodynamic model to simulate the local bathymetric and morpho- logical enhancement of surge in the Clyde, and disaggregate the effects of far-field atmospheric pressure distribution and local scale wind forcing of surges. A climatological analysis, based on 30 years of data from Millport tide gauges, is also discussed. The results suggest that floods are not only caused by extreme surge events, but also by the coupling of spring high tides with moderate surges. Water level is also enhanced by a funnelling effect due to the bathymetry and the morphology of fjordic sealochs and the River Clyde Estuary. In a world of rising sea level, studying the propagation and the climatology of surges and high water events is fundamental.

  • Climate Change in Ireland
    Climate change in Ireland- recent trends in temperature and precipitation Laura McElwain and John Sweeney Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth ABSTRACT This paper presents an assessment of indicators of climate change in Ireland over the past century. Trends are examined in order to determine the magnitude and direction of ongoing climate change. Although detection of a trend is difficult due to the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean, it is concluded that Irish cli- mate is following similar trajectories to those predicted by global climate mod- els. Climatic variables investigated included the key temperature and precipita- tion data series from the Irish synoptic station network. Analysis of the Irish mean temperature records indicates an increase similar to global trends, particu- larly with reference to early-twentieth century wanning and, more importantly, rapid warming in the 1990s. Similarly, analysis of precipitation change support the findings of the United Kingdom Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIPS) with evidence of a trend towards winter increases in the north-west of the coun- try and summer decreases in the south-east. Secondary climate indicators such as frequency of 'hot' and 'cold' days were found to reveal more variable trends. Key index words: climate change, trends, precipitation, trajectories. Introduction An increase in global surface temperature of 0.6 + 0.2°C has occurred since the late- nineteenth century (IPCC, 2001). Most of this warming has occurred during two main periods: 1910-1945 and 1976 to the present. During the present episode of rapid wanning, temperatures have increased at a rate of 0.15°C per decade (Jones et al., 2001).

  • Reflections on Rent-Seeking in Ireland and Its Bus Industry
    12 Barrett article.qxp_Admin 66-1 19/02/2018 17:40 Page 129 Administration, vol. 66, no. 1 (2018), pp. 129–146 doi: 10.2478/admin-2018-0012 Reflections on rent-seeking in Ireland and its bus industry Sean Barrett Economics Department, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Introduction Rent-seeking is the lobbying of government in order to achieve tax reductions, subsidies and restrictions on competition. O’Leary (2015) has argued that the theory of rent-seeking has the potential for explaining Ireland’s long-term growth from the 1950s to the present day. This paper reflects on the destructive effects of rent-seeking in Ireland as a whole and in its bus industry in particular. The next section outlines the pervasiveness of the problem as set out in the Culliton report (1992). This is followed by a section considering rent- seeking in Irish transport in general and in the bus industry in particular before the 1980s. The following sections deal with developments in that industry from the 1980s to 2010, the impacts in the bus industry of the liberalisations following the Swords Express case in 2010, and the need for reforms in Ireland’s public institutions. The final section widens the discussion again to rent-seeking in other sectors in the present day. The pervasiveness of the problem The extent of rent-seeking in the Irish economy was noted in the Culliton report of 1992, which examined the causes of an under - 129 12 Barrett article.qxp_Admin 66-1 19/02/2018 17:40 Page 130 130 SEAN BARRETT performing economy at that time.

  • What Is Climate?
    Fun Facts for Older Primary Students What is climate? What is climate? Climate describes the long term variations of the atmosphere. It is based on historical weather records for a particular location. It tells us what the weather is like over a certain time frame, usually 30 years. Think about the climate of Ireland - how would you describe our seasons? What is the climate of Ireland? The dominant influence on Ireland's climate is the Atlantic Ocean. Ireland does not suffer from the extremes of temperature experienced by many other countries at the same latitude. The average annual temperature for Ireland is about 9 °C. However, there are slight climate variations even within our own country. For example, sunshine duration is highest in the southeast of the country. It is sometimes known as the sunny southeast! Average rainfall varies between about 800mm and 2,800mm per year. With south-westerly winds from the Atlantic dominating, rainfall figures are highest in the northwest, west and southwest of the country, especially over higher ground. How do we measure climate? We use data from our weather monitoring network and work out the averages over a given time period. HOWEVER, in the past there weren’t any meteorological weather stations, balloons or buoys to give us weather information. This means that we need to use a wide range of evidence to reconstruct the earth's climate. Ice Cores Scientists have studied ice from very old glaciers. Air bubbles trapped within these glaciers help to describe the climate from years ago. Tree rings Every year, a new layer of secondary growth is added to a tree trunk and every year this produces a new tree ring.
