W h ether we are aware of it or not this plays an important part in our everyday lives and the landscape is a special and unique resource. European Landscape Convention 2000: “an area as perceived by people, whose visual features and character are the result of the action of natural and / or cultural (that is human) factors…landscapes evolve through time as a result of being acted upon by natural forces and human beings” “As a key element of individual and social well being and quality of life, landscape plays an important part in human fulfi lment and in reinforcement of (European) identity.

  • A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background
    Investing In Our Transport Future: A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background Paper Eight Impact of Previous Transport Investment in Ireland Issued by: Economic and Financial Evaluation Unit Department Of Transport, Tourism and Sport Leeson Lane Dublin 2 Ireland Background Paper Impacts of Previous Major Projects Over the last decade land transport investment in Ireland formed a key part of programmes for government and development strategies. These strategies1 prioritised significant investment in roads and public transport. The main drivers of this investment were reducing travel times, improving environmental conditions, increasing safety and the obvious links between transport investment and economic growth2 - in particular in terms of increasing our competitiveness. These priorities saw transport investment increase from an average of 1.02% of GDP (1953 - 1997) to an average of 1.43% of GDP (1998 - 2008). In real terms this meant the scale of capital formation increasing from, for example, €838m (2012 prices) in 1996 to €2.6bn (2012 Prices) by 2006. A great deal of this increased investment came as a result of the National Development Plans 2000-2006 and 2007-2012. The following sections give an overview of some of the major transport infrastructure projects that have been completed in the past decade. A brief summary of major projects under the categories of road, heavy rail, light rail and bus are provided. Following this, there will be an in-depth analysis of two major infrastructure projects; the M4/M6 and the LUAS. 1. Road A key part of transport strategy was to upgrade the road network, particularly national roads, as illustrated by investment in this area of approximately €9.1 billion between 2006 and 2010.

  • What Kind of Irish Was Spoken in Westmeath?
    What kind of Irish was spoken in Westmeath? AENGUS FINNEGAN By the time of the Gaelic Revival at the end of the 19th century, the Irish language as a vernacular had largely disappeared across Leinster. The small extent of the language which remained was probably confined to the most remote and out-of-the-way townlands, and scattered among a generation who had been largely forgotten by the outside world – with the possible exception of a small part of Co. Louth. It is no wonder, then, that it is primarily to the north, west and southwest areas of Ireland that scholars of the language in all its varying forms have since directed their attention. It is in these regions that the language continued to be spoKen into the 20th century, and indeed continues to be spoKen, though much less extensively than heretofore. This focus, however understandable, has left a large gap in our understanding of the historical distribution of the dialects of Irish across the eastern half of the country. The only means of filling this gap is to carry out a detailed study of the scant remains of the language, as found in word lists, folKlore collections, the later manuscript tradition (if available), everyday speech, and, last but by no means least, in placenames, including both townland and minor names. The great advantage of evidence from placenames to the historial dialectologist is the universal distribution of the placenames themselves. This means that aspects of the language which come to light in the placenames of one area can safely and easily be compared with developments in another.
