  • 1 INTRODUCTION in December 2004, Environmental Resources
    1 INTRODUCTION In December 2004, Environmental Resources Management Ireland Limited (“ERM”) in association with ERA-Maptec Ltd was commissioned by North Tipperary County Council to prepare a Landscape Character Assessment of North Tipperary. The objective of the study was to complete a thorough assessment of the character, value and sensitivity of North Tipperary’s landscape in order to provide the basis for policy formulation and informed decision-making regarding landscape management in the County. North Tipperary (shown in Figure 1) contains a variety of landscapes. The extensive upland areas of the County rise dramatically above the fertile limestone plains. These upland zones support a variety of habitats and land uses ranging from blanket bog to coniferous forestry. The geological faults around the Silvermines led to the deposition of metallic deposits that were to be exploited by humans 400 million year later. The low lying pastoral plains provide important communication corridors between the upland zones and the less accessible raised bogs areas in the north and eastern extremities of the county. To the west, Lough Derg and the River Shannon provide further landscape variety within the County and are important recreational, tourism and ecological resources for North Tipperary. As a landlocked county, North Tipperary is bounded by a number of counties with landscape features providing many natural boundaries. For example, the River Shannon and Lough Derg, define the boundary between the counties of Clare, Galway and Offaly. Extensive raised bog defines the eastern boundary with Counties Laois and Kilkenny. The valley between the Silvermines and Slieve Felim mountains offers a further natural boundary with Counties Limerick and South Tipperary.

I was born in the year 1892 at Finnahy, near Upperchurch, in the County Tipperary. My father was a staunch follower and supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell, and in my early years he was interested in the Sinn Féin movement, then in its infancy. Papers and periodicals, such as "Scissors and Pasted and "The Irish Peasant", came regularly through the post to my father, and, through reading these papers and books like "Speeches from the Dock", I cultivated an interest in Irish history and in Irish affairs. After Mass on a Sunday in July, l9l4, a public meeting was held in Upperchurch at which a company of Irish Volunteers was formed. I cannot now recall who the speakers were at that meeting, nor can I recall the names of the officers of the company when it was formed) but I was one of at least one hundred men and boys who joined it that day. On going home and relating to my father what had occurred in Upperchurch, he warned me to be careful about the organisations which I joined, for, at the time, he was very distrusSful of any movements with Which the late John E.
