  • Carlingford Lough Boat Trail
    Carlingford Lough Boat Trail LOUGHS AGENCY EARNING A WELCOME 1. Please be friendly and polite to local residents and other water users. 2. Drive with care and consideration and park sensibly. 3. Change clothing discreetly (preferably out of public view). 4. Gain permission before going on to private property. 5. Minimise your impact on the natural environment and use recognised access points. There are many unofficial access points which could be used with the owner’s consent. 6. Be sensitive to wildlife and other users regarding the level of noise you create. 7. Observe wildlife from a distance and be aware of sensitive locations such as bird nest sites, bird roosts, seals on land and wintering wildfowl and wader concentrations. 8. Follow the principles of ‘Leave No Trace’. For more information visit:- www.leavenotraceireland.org 9. Keep the numbers in your party consistent with safety, the nature of the water conditions and the impact on your surroundings. 10. Biosecurity: sailors must help stop the spread of invasive species threatening our waterways and coasts! Wash and thoroughly dry boats, trailers and all other kit after a trip. Desiccation is effective against most invasive species, countering their serious environmental and economic impacts. WILDLIFE Carlingford Lough is frequented by otters and seals. In 2016, a bow head whale was spotted off the mouth of the lough and basking shark and dolphin have been reported. Boat fishing for Tope (a shark) and other species is popular in the area. Waders and wildfowl (often breeding in the arctic) winter here, feeding on mudflats as the tide recedes.

  • EU Freshwater Policy
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 83/13 18th May 2012 NIAR 306-12 Des McKibbin EU freshwater policy 1 Overview . This paper provides an overview of EU water policy since the adoption of the Water Framework Policy in 2000; . It examines the implementation of the water framework Directive in Northern Ireland; and . It provides an assessment of the possible policy changes made as a result of the fitness check of water policy and the forthcoming blueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Waters. 2 Background EU water policies comprise a large body of legislation covering areas as diverse as flood management, bathing-water quality, chemicals in water, clean drinking water, groundwater protection and urban waste water. The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), adopted in 2000, was introduced to streamline the EU's water legislation into one over-arching strategy. Ten years on from adoption of the WFD, EU water policy was chosen as a pilot area for a policy ‘fitness check’ to ensure it continues to be fit for purpose. This forms part of the European Commission’s Smart Regulation Policy, announced in its Work Programme for 2010. The purpose of the fitness checks “…is to identify excessive burdens, Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 306-12 Briefing Paper overlaps, gaps, inconsistencies and/or obsolete measures which may have appeared over time”1.2 The results of the fitness check are due to be published this year (2012)3 and will provide a building block of the Blueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Waters, due be published in November 2012.

Miss Statement of Drogheda City Status Group is as follows: “To procure City Status for Drogheda to enable its unique hisory, location and potential to be appreciated and promoted in indusry, sinss touris education, health and quality of life to the benefit and advantage of its citizens and ths of the South Louth and Eas Meath region.” Drogheda City Status preliminary study came to the conclusion that Drogheda’s problems stemmed from the lack of understanding and appreciation by policy makers of the importance and potential of the town and region.
