Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.

It was back in February 2014 that I started thinking about a major cruise having retired the previous year and had the time to devote to a major trip. The decision was made a lot easier by the Cruising Association of Ireland (CAI) organising their summer cruise to the Derry Maritime Festival and the Clipper race. This cruise was planned for June so it made sense to join them as far as Derry then continue on. This would give an anticlockwise cruise (the recommended direction according to most of the pilot books) Tony Lynch was up for the cruise so full steam ahead in the preparations.
