Tallow 1,271 Templemichael 435 Whitechurch 216 Total 28,490 Source: CSO 2011 The population pyramids on the following page show the population by age category and gender for Dungarvan Lismore compared to Waterford as a whole. Overall, the area has a high young dependency2 ratio of 33.9% (6,230 people under the age of 14) which is marginally higher than the ratio for Waterford as a whole at 33.0%. The contraction at the top of the pyramid reflects the decrease in the population with increasing age. The old dependency ratio at 21.2% is above the overall figure for Waterford of 19.9% which is reflected in the wider tip of the population pyramid. There were 3,889 aged 65+ residents in April 2011. The individual EDs which comprise the area exhibit different characteristics. For example, Castlerichard (35.4%) and Kilcockan (33.6%) exhibit a high old dependency ratio, while Clonea (9.6%) and Templemichael (13%) both exhibit low rates. 2 Dependency is expressed as a percentage of the total population aged between 15 to 64 years. Dependency ratios give a crude indication of the population and are not entirely precise as variations occur over time in the number of young persons staying on longer in full time education and in the number of persons over 65 continuing to work. The relative proportions of persons aged 15-64 who are inside and outside of the labour force may also vary over time. 5 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Population of Dungarvan Lismore 2011 Population of Waterford 2011 Classified by Age Group and Gender Classified by Age Group and Gender +85 +85 80-84 80-84 75-79 75-79 70-74 70-74 Females Females 65-69 65-69 Males Males 60-64 60-64 55-59 55-59 50-54 50-54 45-49 45-49 40-44 40-44 35-39 35-39 30-34 30-34 25-29 25-29 20-24 20-24 15-19 15-19 10-14 10-14 05-09 05-09 00-04 00-04 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4500 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Note: Please note that different scales are used on the horizontal (Y) axis for representation purposes. 6 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Persons aged 18 and under by single year of age The chart opposite shows a high young Dungarvan Lismore 2011 dependency ratio at 33.9% and a high number of young people living in the area with 6,230 500 people aged 14 years or under. 450 400 The total of pre-school children aged 0-4 was 2,226. 350 300 The primary school population (aged 5-12) stood 250 at 3,215 in 2011. 200 The secondary school age group (13-18) had a 150 total population of 2,243. 100 50 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Dung arvan Lismore 437 448 467 452 422 383 382 387 395 397 395 431 445 402 387 367 393 354 340 7 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Families Tables 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the following pages provide an insight into the composition of families for the Dungarvan Lismore Electoral Area. 2.

Waterford SURVEY OF PRE-1923 COUNTY WATERFORD INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Waterford County Council, supported by the Heritage Council, commissioned Dublin Civic Trust in July 2007 to compile an inventory of the extant pre-1923 industrial heritage structures within Waterford County. This inventory excludes Waterford City from the perimeters of study, as it is not within the jurisdiction of Waterford County Council. This survey comes from a specific objective in the Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006 – 2011, Section 1.1.17 which requests “…a database (sic) the industrial and engineering heritage of County Waterford”. The aim of the report, as discussed with Waterford County Council, is not only to record an inventory of industrial archaeological heritage but to contextualise its significance. It was also anticipated that recommendations be made as to the future re-use of such heritage assets and any unexplored areas be highlighted. Mary Teehan buildings archaeologist, and Ronan Olwill conservation planner, for Dublin Civic Trust, Nicki Matthews conservation architect and Daniel Noonan consultant archaeologist were the project team.

Waterford, in the year 1897. My people were farmers, and native Irish speakers, as I am myself. My first connection with the National Movement was in 1913 when I joined the National Volunteers. We had a Company of about twenty-five men, and, when the split in the Volunteers occurred in 1915, every man of the twenty-five men left the National Volunteers and formed a Company of Irish Volunteers. We had at the time only a few guns, a couple of sporting rifles and a shot-gun or two. We got no advance news of the 1916 Rising and first heard about it when the Insurrection was actually 'on foot'. We got no orders to take any action in our district, and, consequently, took no part in the Rising at all. Following 1916, the Ring Company faded out for a while, but was reorganised in mid 1917 at which time I was in business at Wolfhill, Leix. When the Volunteers were reorganised in that area, the late P.J.

William, the 4th Duke of Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd Earl of Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork became part of the estates of the Dukes of Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford by agents living and working from Lismore Castle and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon to administer the lands and properties located in the areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork. The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead, the estate was administered by agents who were closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire through a series of detailed and, in some cases, daily, correspondence. During the period covered by these papers there were a number of holders of the title of Duke of Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811) who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William Spencer Cavendish, the 6th Duke (1790-1858), 2 Lismore Castle Papers known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively remodeled Lismore Castle.

Greenwald August 2005 This thesis entitled POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND by JESSICA E. GREENWALD has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences GREENWALD, JESSICA E. M.A. August 2005. Geography PowerU In Place-Names: A Case Study Of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland (85U pp.) Director of Thesis: Timothy Anderson This study investigates the present day toponymns of Waterford County, Ireland. By using the Land Ordnance Survey of Ireland maps, a database was created with the place names of the county. This study draws upon both traditional and contemporary theories and methods in Geography to understand more fully the meaning behind the place names on a map. In the “traditional” sense, it focuses on investigating changes in the landscape wrought by humans through both time and space (the naming of places). In a more “contemporary” sense, it seeks to understand the power relationships and social struggles reflected in the naming of places and the geography of those names. As such, this study fills a void in the current toponymns and cartographic literature, which are both focused mainly on patterns of diffusion and power struggles in North America.

  • Miracles at Tubrid
    Miracles at Tubrid: Around the fire grate on Winter nights I often heard the old man of stories tell stories of miracles that did occur at Tubrid’s Holy Well Of people who were blind to light who suddenly could see He did impress on my young mind how amazing this place must be. He said the Tubrid waters has cures for every known disease And it even cured an allergy that on old bloke had to fleas It cured people of cancer and it cured people of gout And drinking Tubrid water cured on of warts in the mouth. Holy Year Cross, Clonmel: Situated at the base of the Comeraghs, at the top of ‘Cnoc a Chomortais’, the Holy Year Cross was erected in 1950. Every year, on the August Bank Holiday, locals make the short climb to the top of the hill where mass is said. Saint Declan’s Well and Oratory, Ardmore St Declan founded a seminary in Ardmore circa 416. The Holy Well at the beginning of the Cliff Walk served as a baptistery for St. Declan who christianised the area of Decies before St. Patrick came in 431 A.D. They met a number of times at Cashel. St. Declan later retired for greater seclusion to a little cell he constructed at the spot where now stands the ruined church beside the Holy Well. Pattern Day takes place on the Sunday nearest the 24th of July each year. Glencairn Abbey, Waterford St Mary's Abbey, Glencairn is the only Cistercian monastery for women in Ireland.
