PL Area Under Application Laois and Kildare). Company Raptor Resources Ltd Mineral exploration including: Geological mapping, prospecting, Activity geochemistry and geophysical surveys. Drilling may be undertaken, if warranted by the results of exploration. Geological mapping, prospecting, geochemistry and geophysical surveys are temporary activities involving minimal disturbance. These activities are not likely to have a significant effect on the environment. Any proposed drilling will have to comply with the Department’s guidelines and protocols. All drilling activities will require additional environmental screening, in advance of the Department authorising them. Environmental Considerations Additional environmental screening will also be undertaken in the event that the company plans to carry out any activity within a proposed Natural Heritage Area (e.g. Grand Canal (002104), Curragh (Kildare) (000392), Derries Wood (000416), The Great Heath of Portlaoise (000881), Dunamase Woods (001494), Rock of Dunamase (000878), Kilteale Hill (000867), Stradbally Hill (001800), Timahoe Esker (000421), Clopook Wood (000860) and Derryvullagh Island (001390)). River Barrow and River Nore SAC (Site Code 002162), Ballyprior Grassland SAC (Site Code 002256). A screening for Appropriate Assessment has been carried out for the European Sites project.

  • Mountmellick, Mountrath, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois, Monasterevin, Co
    3. Group 2: Mountmellick, Mountrath, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois, and Monasterevin, Co. Kildare. 3.1. Mountmellick, Co. Laois 3.1.1. Summary Details: Mountmellick is located 11km from the regional hub town of Portlaoise. The population of Mountmellick is currently 2,872 as per the results of the 2006 Census. This is projected to increase to 4,540 by 2018 (see Appendix B). It is forecast that up to 500 houses will be connected in Mountmellick over the next ten years. The projected figure is based on housing completion figures, census population report, Laois housing strategy and Laois County Development Plan. The main employer in the town is St. Vincent’s Hospital. Another significant I/C load in the town is Standex Ireland Ltd. It is expected that with population growth at least a proportional increase in I/C customers will develop. Mountmellick is situated 7km from the existing Portarlington feeder main. 3.1.2. Summary Load Analysis: Mountmellick, Co. Laois. Source: Networks cost estimates report June 2007 Industrial/Commercial Load Summary Forecast: Total EAC 2014 6,639 MWh 226,600 Therms Peak Day 2014 37,958 kWh 1,295 Therms New Housing Summary Forecast: New Housing Load (Therm) 260,000 (year 10) New Housing Load (MWh) 7,620 (year 10) 3.1.3. Solutions: The most economic option for supplying Mountmellick town is by installing a 250mm PE100 SDR17 feeder main from Portlaoise (6.8 km approx). A reinforcement of the Portlaoise network is also required as a result of the connection of Mountmellick to this network, the costs of which have been included in the analysis.

  • The Castlecomer Plateau
    23 The Castlecomer plateau By T. P. Lyng, N.T. HE Castlecomer Plateau is the tableland that is the watershed between the rivers Nore and Barrow. Owing T to the erosion of carboniferous deposits by the Nore and Barrow the Castlecomer highland coincides with the Castle­ comer or Leinster Coalfield. Down through the ages this highland has been variously known as Gower Laighean (Gabhair Laighean), Slieve Margy (Sliabh mBairrche), Slieve Comer (Sliabh Crumair). Most of it was included within the ancient cantred of Odogh (Ui Duach) later called Ui Broanain. The Normans attempted to convert this cantred into a barony called Bargy from the old tribal name Ui Bairrche. It was, however, difficult territory and the Barony of Bargy never became a reality. The English labelled it the Barony of Odogh but this highland territory continued to be march lands. Such lands were officially termed “ Fasach ” at the close of the 15th century and so the greater part of the Castle­ comer Plateau became known as the Barony of Fassadinan i.e. Fasach Deighnin, which is translated the “ wi lderness of the river Dinan ” but which officially meant “ the march land of the Dinan.” This no-man’s land that surrounds and hedges in the basin of the Dinan has always been a boundary land. To-day it is the boundary land between counties Kil­ kenny, Carlow and Laois and between the dioceses of Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin. The Plateau is divided in half by the Dinan-Deen river which flows South-West from Wolfhill to Ardaloo. The rim of the Plateau is a chain of hills averag­ ing 1,000 ft.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.

  • The-Garden-Heritage-Of-County-Laois.Pdf
    GardenThe Heritage of COUNTY LAOIS GardenThe Heritage of COUNTY LAOIS housands of gardeners have passed through Laois. They include Stone Age farmers, medieval monks, cottage holders, great landowners and Laois men 4like Noel Keenan, who transformed a cow paddock into his vision of paradise. This brochure invites you to explore the gardening heritage of Laois. It includes descriptions of five gardens open to the public. The final pages mention just a few of the plants that generations of gardeners have left behind in the county’s private gardens, hedgerows and on its roadsides. Three men had a great influence on the gardens of County Laois. In the late 1800s, William Robinson worked as the garden foreman at Ballykilcavan. After a quarrel with his employer, Robinson put out the fires that heated the glasshouses and opened all the windows. Then he fled in the night. He never again worked in Ireland, but the Irish landscape and its gardens had a deep influence upon him. In England, Robinson scorned “floral rugs” and championed a more natural style of gardening. He is largely responsible for way most gardens look today. From 1908 until the foundation of the State in 1922, avid plant collector Murray Hornibrook made his home at Knapton House near Abbeyleix. He travelled from the wilds of Connemara to the walled gardens of the great houses, looking for interesting garden plants. Although Hornibrook is best known for his collection of dwarf conifers, several modern garden plants are propagated largely because he took note of them. In recent years, the county’s most influential plantsman was the late Noel Keenan.
