  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD Carlow is a progressive, vibrant County which is attractive, inclusive and accessible. Carlow County Council is committed to providing the highest quality public services for local residents, visitors and for new and existing companies, from multinationals to entrepreneurs and SMEs. Creating an environment for economic growth and driving quality of life for all is a priority for this Council. We are pleased to introduce the Carlow County Council Annual Report 2019, which outlines the work of the Council in delivering important public services during the year, all of which contribute to making County Carlow an attractive place in which to work, live and do business. 2019 has seen the strengthening of the Council’s role in economic development and community development and this is welcomed by all. It must be acknowledged that the changing economic climate both at national and local levels have made a defining influence on the extent to which our services are delivered. Despite the reduction in human and financial resources in recent years, Carlow County Council continues to deliver a high standard of service. The Council welcomes the easing of financial restrictions and the improving economic position. Our staff, with the support and leadership of the elected members, continue to maintain and deliver quality services as referenced in our Corporate Plan, whilst also keeping the Council on a firm financial standing. Similar to all local authorities in the country, Carlow County Council relies heavily on government funding. It follows that a reduction in overall funding can profoundly impact on our capacity to deliver our services and any increase in funding enables the Council to leverage these monies to provide additional and enhanced services.

  • Soils of Co. Carlow
    Soil Survey Bulletin No. 17 Soils of Co. Carlow by M. J. Conry and Pierce Ryan National Soil Survey of Ireland An Foras Taluntais (THE AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE) Published by an Foras Taluntais, 33 Merrion Road, Dublin 4. Price: Thirty Shillings FOREWORD The programme of the National Soil Survey for determining the fundamental characteristics of Irish soils and for mapping their distribution was initiated shortly after An Foras Taliintais commenced activities in 1958. Its primary aim is to develop an inventory of our soil resources as a basis for rational land-use planning. The main activities of this survey are being carried out on a county basis. When introducing the first of the reports in the county series—that covering the Soils of County Wexford—the role of soil survey in agricultural development, and indeed in general planning activities, was outlined. Carlow, although small in extent, is one of the most important agricultural areas in the country. It is also a county of contrasts, in its general landscape features, in its soils and in its agriculture. The rolling lowlands of the extensive central portion of the county are dominated by deep, well-drained fertile soils. These are devoted to mixed farming with a high proportion of tillage and a fair concentration of live­ stock, principally dairy cattle and sheep. The hills associated mainly with the Castlecomer Plateau consist of physically difficult and mostly poorly drained soils. Here livestock farming is at a low to moderately intensive level and forestry is being extended. On the steeply sloping flanks of the Blackstairs Mountains, which carry degraded mineral soils on the lower slopes and peats at the higher elevations, the emphasis is on sheep raising mostly at low intensity levels, and forestry is proving a useful alternative form of land use.

OPW Capital Investment to 31 December 2017 MAJOR FLOOD RELIEF SCHEMES: 1995-2017 Historically, flood risk management focused on arterial drainage for the benefit of agricultural improvement. Arising from increasing flood risk, the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, was amended in 1995 to permit the Office of Public Works (OPW) to implement localised flood relief schemes to provide flood protection for cities, towns and villages. Some schemes have been carried out by the Local Authorities under their own powers using the Planning and Development legislative code. The OPW either works in association with the relevant Local Authorities or funds Local Authorities directly to undertake flood relief works.
