  • Forestplans BAU 7 Strategic P
    Foreword I have great pleasure in publishing Coillte’s South Munster Business Area Unit (BAU) strategic plan. The purpose of a BAU strategic plan is to set out plans for the forest and non-forest business that will take place in the BAU during the plan period. In practicing sustainable forest management Coillte’s aim is to develop its forests in a way that is environmentally sustainable, socially sustainable and economically sustainable. Coillte has applied the principles of environmental impact assessment and risk management to the potential interactions between forest activities and standard receptors in compiling these plans. The topics covered in the BAU strategic plan include: Commercial Planning: • planting • timber harvesting • timber sales • forest roads and access • licenses, lettings, recreation and non-forestry land uses • land acquisition and sales • non-forest business – such as renewable energy Planning for public benefits and public use: • Community facilities and benefits • Recreational and tourism infrastructure and partnerships • Access • Environmental enhancement measures such as biodiversity and nature conservation Planning for sustainable use of resources: • sustainable forest management • long term retention of trees • low impact silvicultural1 systems • water quality • forest design • use of chemicals Pat Carroll BAU Manager 1 Growing, cultivating and felling of trees 1 Statement of Compliance with Principles of Sustainable Forestry Management The Coillte estate is a rich, high quality environmental resource, with the potential to interact with people, landscape, water and biodiversity. As such, Coillte recognises and seeks to minimise any potential adverse impacts of our business on the environment through responsible environmental management. We are committed to the prevention of pollution.

  • Irish Hill and Mountain Names
    Irish Hill and Mountain Names The following document is extracted from the database used to prepare the list of peaks included on the ‘Summits’ section and other sections at www.mountainviews.ie The document comprises the name data and key geographical data for each peak listed on the website as of May 2010, with some minor changes and omissions. The geographical data on the website is more comprehensive. The data was collated over a number of years by a team of volunteer contributors to the website. The list in use started with the 2000ft list of Rev. Vandeleur (1950s), the 600m list based on this by Joss Lynam (1970s) and the 400 and 500m lists of Michael Dewey and Myrddyn Phillips. Extensive revision and extra data has been accepted from many MV contributors including Simon Stewart, Brian Ringland, Paul Donnelly, John FitzGerald, Denise Jacques, Colin Dalton, Brendan O'Reilly, Mark Brennan, myself and others. I have been gathering the place-name data and other information presented in columns 2-4 from 2004 onwards, and some changes have also been made to the anglicised forms given in column 1 as a result of this research. The anglicised forms are taken from the highest available authority, namely the Placenames Branch (An Brainse Logainmneacha), followed the Ordnance Survey maps. In the vast majority of cases, these are in agreement, but there are occasional differences, and some typographical errors occur on the 1:50,000 maps. A different anglicised form from that shown in these official sources has been adopted only in exceptional cases, which mainly fall into two categories.
