The building may have been a barn Gr warehouse until tzken over by Fr. Higgins, S,J. for public worship. We are fortunate in having continuous registers of the parish from as early as 1717 (well before the present church) the earliest one in Fr. Higginsl writing and covering 25 yenrs. But more of these anon. In the early 18th Century St.Fntrickts was part of the combined parishes of St.Olavls, St. Peter's and St, Patrick's. (Fro Higgins in 1717 described himself as tfParochustt of all three), A church still stands on the site of St,Olavs, of course, but nothing remains of St,Peterls which was on the site of the recently demolished dispensary in Peter Street. However,this new Mass-house of necessity had to be inconspicuous. Even today it stands in a rather obscure laneway,where it might easily escape the czsual visitor's notice. Furmerly kb- locality was still more obscure, The present approaches date from the start of this century.

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.

Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Ph.D. School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow August 2014 Abstract Much concerning the disease termed leprosy is accepted as received knowledge, without thought to time and place, but there were many differences in how leprosy sufferers were treated across regions and eras, and so diversity should be regarded as normal. This thesis will examine what was meant by the term leprosy during primarily the medieval period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries in Ireland in order to see if this equates with the disease called Hansen’s Disease in the twenty-first century.

Alternatives were considered for the future growth of the county that included continuing with existing amount of zoning in the County Development Plan 2005-2011 or reducing the area of zoned land in support of objectives in the Regional Planning Guidelines, Water Framework Directive and national energy policy. The preferred strategy was a reduction in zoned land to an area of 461 ha for residential development. Publication of the South East Regional Planning Guidelines 2010-2022 and provisions of the Planning Act 2000 (as amended) has stipulated the need for alignment of the Core Strategy with the Regional Planning Guidelines population thresholds and consequently a review of the Core Strategy contained in the Draft County Development Plan will commence in 2011. The Environmental Report highlighted key environmental pressures in the county that include water quality with the need to restore surface water quality in Dungarvan Bay, and Waterford Estuary, groundwaters around the River Suir, bathing waters in Ardmore and Dunmore East, continued monitoring of public water supplies and provision of sufficient capacity in waste water treatment plants and the Seven Villages Scheme. The need to maintain water quality is key to conservation of biodiversity and water dependant habitats and species.

  • The South-East of Ireland
    In: Kirk, John and Dónall Ó Baoill (eds) Language links: the languages of Scotland and Ireland. Belfast Studies in Language, Culture and Politics, 2 (Belfast: Queen´s University, 2001), pp. 1-22. The South-East of Ireland A neglected region in dialect study Raymond Hickey University of Essen 1 Introduction The south-east of Ireland is an area which is of considerable significance in the history of Irish English, although it has not been accorded the attention from scholars which it deserves. The reasons for this neglect lie in the interests of the chief scholars working in the field of Irish English studies since the beginning of the 20th century. Those who were concerned with the English of a specific region — like P. L. Henry (see Henry 1957) — oriented themselves towards areas quite far away from the south-east, in Henry´s case the north-west of the Republic of Ireland. Other scholars, concerned with regional differences, have concentrated on the divide between the north and south of the country. While it is true that this is the major Anglophone division in Ireland it has tended to overshadow the remaining regions and hence the neglect of subdivisions within the Republic of Ireland. However, the main subdivision in the south of the country is — in the opinion of the present author — that between the east coast and the rest of the country. The reasons for this have their roots in the history of Anglophone settlement in Ireland. The south-east corner of Ireland was that first occupied by Anglo-Norman and English settlers in the late 12th century (Cahill 1938, Curtis 1919) and the area from approximately Drogheda, north of Dublin, down to Waterford on the east coast formed the fortified region known in the late Middle Ages as the Pale.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

    PARLIAMENTARY GAZETTEER OF IRELAND 1844-44 [WATERFORD EXTRACTS] ABBEYSIDE, a district and town, in the barony of Decies-without-Drum, and suburban to the borough of Dungarvan, co. Waterford, Munster. The district is described by the Commissioners on municipal corporations as one of three parishes which compose the union, or manor of Dungarvan, as forming with Dungarvan- West the parish of Dungarvan mentioned in the ancient charter of the borough, and as now a distinct parish in itself; and it is laid down in one of two maps of Dungarvan in the report on Borough Boundaries, as “Abbeyside parish, now part of East Dungarvan; but, in all the other parliamentary documents before us, both it and ‘East Dungarvan’ are treated as strictly a part of Dungarvan parish.Yet in the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical division, it forms a distinct parish in the dio. of Waterford and Lismore. See Dungarvan.- The town of Abbeyside extends along the north-east or left side of Dungarvan Harbour, directly opposite to the borough; and is included in both the municipal and the parliamentary boundaries. In 1832, it had 40 tenements of value to qualify for the franchise. A very handsome bridge, built solely at the expense of the duke of Devonshire, was erected in 1816 to connect it with Dungarvan; and previous to that time communication could be maintained only by means of a ferry. The ruins of an ancient castle, and of the abbey whence the suburb is named, combine with the harbour to form a pleasant view from the Dungarvan side. The castle belonged to the Magraths, and, along with some adjacent lands, was given by them to the monks.
