  • Topical Issue Debate with Minister Ross
    Topical Issue Debate Transport Infrastructure Provision 3:00 pm Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) Link to this: Individually | In context | Oireachtas source I welcome the opportunity to speak to this matter. The R630 is a regional road linking Whitegate with the N25, a national primary road at Midleton, and Lakeview roundabout in east Cork, which serves the Cork to Rosslore Europort via Waterford city. This regional road from Whitegate also carries traffic from adjoining areas such as Upper Aghada, Lower Aghada, Rostellan, Saleen, Ballycotton, Clyne and Ballinacurra, just to mention a few locations. Whitegate village can boast to be the home of the only oil refinery in Ireland but the most startling fact is that it accounts for over 40% of Cork's road tonnage, and it travels on the R630 all year around. There is also Aghada power station, which is Ireland's largest, and this means the regional route is extremely busy. The Minister can understand why. Unfortunately, all this traffic must enter the N25 at Lakeview roundabout at Midleton, which is constantly choked with long tailbacks every morning. Midleton town council had approached what was then the National Roads Authority, now Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, a number of years ago about having an extra slip lane at the junction between the R630 Whitegate route and the N25 to alleviate this very problem. Unfortunately, over the years nothing has happened. The commuters who use this route day in and day out have grown very frustrated with the lack of progress. More worrying is the question of safety in the area, particularly with regard to emergency services and the ambulance service in Midleton.

  • Report by Commission of Investigation Into Catholic Diocese of Cloyne
    Chapter 1 Overview Introduction 1.1 The Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation was established in March 2006 to report on the handling by Church and State authorities of a representative sample of allegations and suspicions of child sexual abuse against clerics operating under the aegis of the Archdiocese of Dublin over the period 1975 - 2004. The report of the Commission was published (with some redaction as a result of court orders) in November 2009. Towards the end of its remit, on 31 March 2009, the Government asked the Commission to carry out a similar investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne. 1.2 During the Cloyne investigation the Commission examined all complaints, allegations, concerns and suspicions of child sexual abuse by relevant clerics made to the diocesan and other Catholic Church authorities and public and State authorities in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. 1.3 This report deals with the outcome of the Cloyne investigation. In Chapters 2 – 8, the report outlines how the Commission conducted the investigation; the organisational structures of the Diocese of Cloyne and the relevant State authorities, that is, the Gardaí, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the health authorities; and the general background to the handling of complaints including an outline of the canon law and procedures involved and the financing of the costs involved. 1.4 Chapters 9 – 26 describe the cases of 19 clerics about whom there were complaints, allegations or concerns in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. Below the Commission gives an overview of what these cases show.

Lieutenant, Midleton Company, 4th Battalion, Cork No. 1 Brigade. Subject. Activities of Midleton Company, Irish Volunteers, Cork No. 1 Brigade, 1917-1921, and 4th Battalion Flying Column, 1920-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No S.2747. Form BSM2 STATEMENT BY COMMANDANT MICHAEL KEARNEY, 5 Audley Place, St. Patrick's Hill, Cork. I was born in the year 1390 at Churchtown, Midleton, Co. Cork. My father was a carpenter by trade. From my earliest days, I was always interested in the physical force movement in Ireland, principally, I suppose, because of hearing from my father tales of Fenian activity in our area. I remember him telling such incidents of the Fenian Rising as the shooting of a Midleton Fenian, named Tim Daly, by the R.I.C. at Castlemartyr, Co. Cork, and the fight at Kilclooney Wood where Peter O'Neill Crowley was killed. As a young lad, I joined tae local branch of the Gaelic League, and when a company of National Volunteers (John Redmond's) was formed in Midleton in 1913, I became a member. We had a few hundred men in the company but, so far as I can remember, we had no guns; at least, I never saw any, except wooden rifles which we used when drilling. Our 0/C was an ex British army officer named O'Hanlon, the proprietor of Midleton flour mills.
