  • Doneraile Park the Long St. Leger Connection Seamus Crowley
    IRISH FORESTRY 2015, VOL. 72 Doneraile Park The long St. Leger connection Seamus Crowley The arrival of St. Legers in Ireland When Henry VIII of England decided to suppress the monasteries and break away from the Church of Rome, he gave the job of implementing the process to his “trusty and well beloved servant” Sir Anthony St. Leger of Ulcomb in Kent who was reputed to be “a wise and warie gentleman”. Sir Anthony, in his capacity as a member of the Kent Grand Jury, helped to find a “true bill” against Ann Boleyn, which allowed Henry to have her executed in 1536 – a trusty servant indeed! Having finished the job of suppressing the monasteries in England, Sir Anthony was sent to Ireland to render similar service in 1537. He supervised the dissolution of the monasteries in areas subject to the King’s writ and also succeeded in getting the Irish chieftains to accept Henry as King of Ireland. Before that the English King was described as Lord of Ireland, which gave him much less authority. Later Sir Anthony St. Leger was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and from which time on the St. Legers had a presence in Ireland. When Sir Anthony St. Leger returned to England, one of his sons, William, who later did not feature in Sir Anthony’s will, was “catered for” in Ireland and took part in both government and army. William’s son, Sir Antony St. Leger’s grandson, Sir Warham St. Leger remained in Ireland until his death in 1600. He died following a single combat engagement with Hugh Maguire of Fermanagh outside the gates of Cork.

  • SEAI Registered Technical Advisor Must Be Engaged by the Homeowner As Part of the Application Process
    SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AUTHORITY OF IRELAND Better Energy Programmes List of Registered Technical Advisors Version 1.1 2019 SEAI List of Registered Technical Advisors 1. Introduction The installation of Heat Pump systems is funded by SEAI under the Better Energy Homes (BEH) programme. One of the requirements for a dwelling to qualify for a grant for heat pump systems is that the energy performance of the dwelling fabric is suitable for heat pump system installation. This is to ensure the heat pump system performs well and the dwelling’s electricity bills are not too high. This can be achieved by insulating the dwelling and/or by upgrading the windows. SEAI aims for installed heat pump systems to be as efficient and effective as is feasible. To make this possible, an independent SEAI Registered Technical Advisor must be engaged by the homeowner as part of the application process. The Technical Advisor guides the homeowner on the energy performance of the dwelling, particularly on the suitability of the dwelling for a heat pump system based on the dwelling’s heat loss. They also provide the homeowner with independent guidance on measures necessary to ensure that the dwelling fabric heat loss is lowered to an acceptable level for a heat pump system to perform effectively and efficiently. The required heat loss level is expressed as a Heat Loss Indicator of 2 Watts/Kelvin/m2. Note: SEAI also offers grants for home insulation. The Better Energy Homes programme offers a grant of €200 towards the Technical Assessment of the dwelling, with the grant only payable in conjunction with the heat pump system grant.
