  • Croaghaun Windfarm
    Mountaineering Ireland’s response to Carlow County Council re planning application 2113 - Croaghaun windfarm 25th February 2021 1 Contents 1. Introduction and context 3 2. Impact on Walking in the Blackstairs Mountains 3 3. Landscape and Visual Impact 7 4. Planning Context 9 5. Conclusions 11 6. About Mountaineering Ireland 11 References 12 2 1. Introduction and Context As the representative body for hillwalkers and climbers on the island of Ireland, Mountaineering Ireland has a particular concern for ensuring the sustainable use of Ireland’s upland areas. Mountaineering Ireland therefore represents a community of interest in this application, drawn from Co. Carlow, the south east, and across the island of Ireland. The Blackstairs Mountains are a hugely significant element landscape of the south-east, this chain of rounded granite mountains rises between the beautiful Barrow valley and the lowlands of Wexford, marking the boundary between counties Carlow and Wexford and forming a landscape cherished for its scenic qualities. The proposal is for a development comprising seven wind turbines with an overall height of up to 178m, mainly within Coillte forestry on Kilbrannish Hill, immediately north of the Corrabut Gap. The site is 3km north east of the well-known Nine Stones viewing point and less than 5km from the summit of Mount Leinster, the highest point in both Co. Carlow and Co. Wexford. The applicant is Coillte CGA. Commercial windfarms on this scale should be described as wind factories. Mountaineering Ireland is strongly of the view that the proposed development would be unacceptably damaging to the visual amenity and landscape character of this area.

  • Croaghaun Wind Farm – Final Pre-Planning Information Booklet
    Croaghaun Wind Farm Final Pre-Planning Information Booklet Dear Homeowner, First and foremost, we hope this finds you safe and well in these challenging times, and adjusting as best as possible to new ways of going about daily life. As you may be aware, Coillte’s Renewable Energy business has been actively exploring a wind farm development opportunity close to Myshall, Co. Carlow. The community engagement model which we use within our team has given us an opportunity to meet with a very high proportion of people residing within 2 km of the potential wind farm. The proposed Croaghaun Wind Farm project is now at a stage where all the environmental assessment data has been gathered and collated to inform the final proposed layout. This brochure sets out a detailed overview of all aspects of the proposed Croaghaun Wind Farm project and we look forward to addressing any queries that may arise. We propose to address any queries by phone call or email as the current Covid-19 Government restrictions do not allow for in person meetings. To supplement the detail in this brochure we have also put together an online virtual tour of the project with added detail on topics such as landscape and visuals, transport and delivery routes and maps with added functionality. This can be accessed on the home page of the project website (www.croaghaunwindfarm.ie). Please be assured that we will continue to make every effort to ensure that we provide you with all the information you need in order to fully understand the details of this proposed project.

  • Nolan County
    The Nolan Newsletter of the Nolan Clan – Spring 2003 RN: remastered March 2005 Inside Revealed – The New Clan Chief Walking History Travel Eating Mystic Forecasts Idiots guide to family tree 1 The Nolan Spring 2003 Edition Dear Clan Member, Greetings. The season of goodwill is with us once more - and how quickly it has come around. The Christmas message this year can feature only one facet; 'peace'. The world situation is so precarious we must all endeavour to eradicate the violent aspects of our society. Wherever you may be, Christmas blessings to you all with best wishes for a peaceful and prosperous New Year. My inauguration in June this year was a pleasing and enjoyable event. Following on from this I attended the Kavanagh Clan gathering at Ferns County Wexford in September, which was held to install the new Kavanagh Clan chief. This was a colourful weekend in spite of poor weather and the fact that I had to cross the sea for the occasion. As well as being informed and interesting, the gathering also demonstrated a number of links between the Nolan and Kavanagh Clans with the whole event ending with some very generous wining and dining. The Nolan Clan need to expand so I'm asking all of you to find before 2004 one new member. Whether you know them or not does not matter, as long as you find them and sign them up! Just use your initiative and ingenuity to track down the new blood that we need to grow the clan. So please, help playa role in doubling the clan membership by the end of next year, and go find a new Nolan! The time will soon come.

  • Selected Day Walks 2006 National Waymarked Ways
    Selected Day Walks 2006 National Waymarked Ways NWWAC There are over 30 National Waymarked Ways located in different parts of Ireland today. These are multi-day walking trails that have been developed by local development groups and authorities with the agreement of landowners. They are waymarked with a yellow walking man logo and usually have a map or guidebook available for visiting walkers. This publication highlights a selection of 24 day walks from this network. These day walks have been short listed by a panel of experienced walkers and include walks along rugged coastlines, down canals and riverbanks, through forests and quiet mountain valleys, right across the country. They are generally located on lower ground, are suitable for most walking enthusiasts and are a great way of getting out and active in the Irish outdoors. The information provided on each day walk in this booklet is basic and only provides an overview. All distances given are approximate. If you are planning on taking on one of these walks, it is recommended that you purchase a copy of the relevant map/guide or Ordnance Survey Discovery map for the specific route on which the walk is located. OS maps are generally available in local tourist offices and bookshops. Guidebooks may sometimes be obtained locally, but can definitely be ordered from EastWest Mapping. You should not attempt any of these walks without the relevant Guidebook or Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Discovery map. Map and guidebook publications may not always reflect the exact route marked on the ground, as they may not be up to date.
