The first seminar took place in Baltinglass on Tuesday 21 September. This free Seminar on the topic of “Children’s Self Esteem” facilitated by Val Mullally was held in the The Parish Centre and and proved very popular with over 35 people attending. The feedback from the session was excellent and a number of th participants then went on to enrol on the Parenting course which started on October 5 . This interactive Parenting course ran over five nights covering topics such as relationships, needs, discipline and play. This was the sixth course Marion Connell has facilitated; they have all proved extremely popular and the feedback has been excellent from each one. It is hoped to organise another Parenting course specifically relating to the teenage years with Marion in Spring 2011 in the Baltinglass area. Wicklow Town parents also had the opportunity to hear Val Mullally—at a Parents Seminar in the Grand Hotel, on th Wedneday, 6 October where Val spoke about “Parenting Teens”. Val spoke about how teenagers’ brains are still developing and how teens think, and gave some tips on how to avoid conflict within the family. Feedback again was positive and parents indicated that they would like more of this type of training. th The third seminar took place in the Ramada Hotel, Bray on Monday, 11 October. This Interactive event was also with Val Mullally on the topic of Childrens Self Esteem. It coincided with the beginning of National Parents’ Week, and proved very popular attracting in excess of 40 participants. The feedback from the evening was positive, with many requests for additional seminars and training in all aspects of parenting.

The aim of the resource is to promote road safety to children aged five and under in a preschool setting. The series centres on four characters who promote age appropriate road safety messages to children: Name of Story Key Road Safety Message ‘Simon’s Suprise’ Holding Hands ‘Josie’s Picnic’ Stopping ‘Sara & Sophia’s Trip to the Farm’ Look and listen ‘Charlie Goes to a Party’ Setting a Good Example Each book is beautifully illustrated. At the end of each story there are a number of extension activities which preschool providers can use to prompt other learning experiences with the children. Stories are also recorded onto a CD Rom which can be played to children in their early year’s environment. The CD also contains a number of road safety songs and an interactive computer game targeted at the under 5’s. The pack also contains an accompanying teacher’s guide called ‘Hand in Hand’ which includes information about integrating road safety into the Early Years Environment and suggested activities, games and songs which support the ‘Simon and Friends’ stories. The Teachers Guide, Storybooks and CD are all enclosed in a colourful case. The pack is supported by the Office for the Minister for Children. The programme can help childcare services reach Standard 9 of the Sīolta Programme: ‘Health and Welfare’ . It is our intention to roll out this training over the coming months. If you are interested in participating, please contact Judy on (0404) 64455. Further info on www.rsa.ie.

    12 Archaeology, Architectural and Cultural Heritage

    Irish Water Arklow Wastewater Treatment Plant Project EIA Report 12 Archaeology, Architectural and Cultural Heritage 12.1 Introduction This chapter describes the likely significant effects of the proposed development on archaeology, architectural and cultural heritage. Chapter 4 provides a full description of the proposed development whilst Chapter 5 describes the Construction Strategy. The following aspects are particularly relevant to the archaeology, architectural and cultural heritage assessment: • Design: • Likely significant effects of the proposed development on architectural heritage and setting; and • Likelihood of encountering archaeological remains associated with the footprint of the proposed development. • Operation: • Likely significant effects of the proposed development on architectural heritage and setting during operation. • Construction: • Likelihood of encountering archaeological remains during intrusive works including subsurface construction and open cut construction of the outfalls and interceptor sewers; and • Underpinning works to Arklow Bridge. It should be noted that this assessment has had regard to the ongoing data gathering and assessment of the archaeology, architectural and cultural heritage as part of the proposed Arklow Flood Relief Scheme. This work is currently being carried out by Courtney Deery and ADCO on behalf of the Office of Public Works and Wicklow County Council. As such, references to this ongoing assessment are made, where relevant, within this assessment chapter. 12.2 Assessment Methodology 12.2.1 General This assessment determines, as far as reasonably possible from existing records, the nature of the cultural heritage resource within the footprint and a defined vicinity of the proposed development using appropriate methods of study. 247825/EIA/EIAR/1 | Issue | September 2018 | Arup Ch 12 - Page 1 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\DUBLIN\JOBS\247000\247825-00\4.

    The Kidds of Ireland

    THE KIDDS OF IRELAND Part II The Dublin and Southern Ireland Kidds by Franklin Kidd (1890-1974) Unpublished manuscript typescript; this version dates from 1972-73, based on statements made in it this searchable text version made using Omnipage ocr from manuscript images (from website http://www.kiddgenealogy.net/), by William S F Kidd 3/2012 with subsequent extensive visual editing to remove typographical recognition errors; the pagination of the original typescript is retained in this conversion, in order to facilitate comparison with the original. Most of the underlined text in the original has not been marked in this version. Headings have instead been distinguished by using contrasting font styles. Text indentations similarly have not been retained. If you miss them, or the underlined body text, feel free to take a copy and to surrender the time needed to put them in! I have added a few footnotes to make clear where I have made any changes from the original typescript text; most of these point either to minor typographical errors, or in a few cases to an obvious error in a date, probably originating from misreading the source used while typing. Such footnotes are all explicitly marked as added to distinguish them clearly from Franklin Kidd's footnotes. (as an editorial observation, for a typewriter manuscript, there are astonishingly few typographical errors, even though the first of them occurs on page 1....) In Chs. 2 and 3, the name typed Leighton has in every case been replaced (without note) by Leighlin (which occurs correctly everywhere in chs. 1, and 4-6 in this one context of Marriage Licence Bonds).
