  • Directory of Local Parenting Programmes
    Email: [email protected] Phone: 053 9259821 Email: [email protected] Phone: 053 9421374 Dear Service Provider “Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People is a National directive whose aim is to provide one clear pathway to services for all children and young people with a disability, focusing on the needs of the child/young person and their family”. As part of this directive the HSE formed a Local Implementation Group comprising of HSE personnel involved in the delivery of Paediatric Services. Parent, Department of Education and Section 39 Voluntary agency representatives will also become involved in this process as we move forward. While reviewing current service provision it became apparent that there was a lack of awareness of all the support services that are available for children and their parents in the Wexford area. In order to address this deficit we have put together the attached directory of local supports both Voluntary and HSE run in County Wexford. This directory includes: Parenting Programmes Advocacy Groups Mother and Toddler Groups National Disability Organisations This list while comprehensive is not an exhaustive therefore we would appreciate it if you could inform us of any new developments or groups which may not have been included. We would be grateful if you could distribute this directory to any group or parent whom you feel would benefit from the information. Yours Faithfully Lucy O’Hagan and Louise Smyth Local Leads Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People Directory of Wexford Parenting Programmes – October 2013 1 Directory of Parent Supports in Wexford Developed by: Louise Smyth L.O/EIT Lucy O’Hagan Senior SLT Disclaimer Information, contact names, telephone numbers, addresses and web links provided in this Directory are for your convenience only and should not be considered as official, endorsed or recommended.

  • Subcatchment Assessment
    WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Owenavorragh Subcatchment Cahore_SC_010 Code 11_1 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 03 Jan 2019 1 Generated by WFD Application Assessment Purpose This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the second cycle of Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies, and with support from RPS consultants. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. They are based on information available to the end of 2015 but may be subject to change until the final 2018-21 river basin management plan is published. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues Three of the eight river waterbodies, Aughnaboy_010, Cahore Canal_010 and Blackwater Wexford_010 are At Risk. Ecological status at two of the river waterbodies (Aughnaboy_010 and Blackwater Wexford_010) declined in the 2013- 2015 WFD monitoring cycle cycle. Phosphate and Ammonia are elevated in all three At Risk waterbodies. On Aughnaboy_010 and Cahore Canal_010 he significant pressures are agriculture (both point and diffuse sources) and septic tanks. Wastewater discharge from unfinished housing estates is also a pressure on Aughnaboy_010. On Blackwater Wexford_010 the significant pressures are diffuse urban, wastewater and hydromorphology. The remaining five RWBs are unassigned due to a lack of monitoring data and were revised to review pending determination of the water quality by Wexford County Council. An unmonitored lake, Kilmacoe, was revised to Not at Risk due to the lack of pressures inputting to the lake.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • Kilmuckridge a Project by Michael Fortune
    About This Place – Kilmuckridge A Project by Michael Fortune Below are the notes from the Google Map produced by Michael Fortune between June and November 2015. The Google Map features over 130 sites from around the village. This is a living resource and this is a living document. Please contact Michael if you have any more sites to add, or information to change. Let the conversation begin. Michael by phone on 087 6470247 or by email [email protected] ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Proposed Airfield Ned Kavanagh told me that this long, flat stretch of land was earmarked as an airfield for Major Brian who owned Upton House. One of his family members flew and this would have been a direct way to bring clients to Upton House in its day. Any further information on this appreciated. 52.52959, -6.22099 © Information by Michael Fortune, 2015. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Raheen - Ballywater A fine example of a raheen (ringfort). It has been cleared somewhat but the outline is still clear. In the mid- 19th century a farm once stood very close by. The small fields were let into one big field towards the latter part of the 20th century. It's quite a big raheen in comparison to the other ones close by. 52.53607, -6.24765 © Information by Michael Fortune, 2015. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Raheen - Ballinoulart A fine example of a raheen (ringfort). This raheen is interesting as in the old OSI maps we see it had a square perimeter around a rough circle. It is generally accepted that Norman enclosures, of which there are many in the area, were square/rectangle in shape, while the Irish ones were circular.
