Subcatchment Assessment WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Lower Shannon Subcatchment Shannon[Lower]_SC_080 Code 25D_6 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 11 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 Of the 11 surface water bodies in this subcatchment, four are NOT AT RISK, the Ardcloony_010, Bridgetown (Clare)_010, Lough Derg Highly Modified Water Body (HMWB, SW_25_191b) and Kilmastulla_050. Three water bodies are at REVIEW: Grange (Tipperary)_010 and Kilmastulla_020. Four water bodies are AT RISK: Lough Derg TN (SH_25_191a), Kilmastulla_010, Kilmastulla_030, Kilmastulla_040 and the Shannon (Lower)_010. There are a number of significant issues in this subcatchment. The Grange (Tipperary)_010 Stream has no biology data but satisfactory chemistry data, however the stream was shortened by developers at one point and will likely require engineering works to slow the flow and prevent gravel/bank erosion; there is also livestock access. Derg Lough is a HWMB identified as such during the first WFD cycle due to power generation. It has Good ecological status and is therefore NOT AT RISK. Derg is linked to the Shannon (Lower)_050 which is at Moderate ecological status and also receives wastewater discharges as a pressure (eutrophication and main suspected cause of pollution). Irish Water are doing work in this area however, notably in relation to the Parteen Basin and Dublin Water Supply Project; additionally however fish are also impacted due to the impoundment on this water body. Lough Derg TN is one of the largest lakes in Ireland, however only the southernmost 50m of the lake are present in this subcatchment. Lough Derg is currently at Poor ecological status (2010-2015). There are a large number of pressures on the lake, principally diffuse agriculture, hydromorphology and fish passage issues, invasive species (approximately 14 species, including zebra mussel and Asian clam), urban wastewater and the inputting river, the Shannon (Lower)_050. The Kilmastulla River (made up of 4 water bodies) as well as the Garryard water bodies are within the vicinity of the old lead and zinc mine at Silvermines. As a result of the historic mining activities these water bodies have very high concentrations of zinc (up to 11,000ug/l for example), as well as highly elevated lead, nickel, suspended solids, and cadmium to a lesser extent. However zinc remediation shows signs of working as salmon have been detected coming back to these rivers in small numbers; it will need to be discussed with the Department on whether less stringent WFD objectives would be more appropriate for these water bodies. There is one High status water body, the Ardclooney_010, based on macroinvertebrates and hydrology (2010-2015) which is currently achieving its High Status Objective. 3 Map Subcatchment Risk Map 4 River And Lake Waterbodies: WFD Risk The following river and lake waterbodies are in the subcatchment.

  • THE SHANNON SCHEME and ITS EFFECT on the SHANNON FISHERIES Andrew Reale
    THE SHANNON SCHEME AND ITS EFFECT ON THE SHANNON FISHERIES Andrew Reale With Thanks to Limerick Civic Trust, and FÁS. This unpublished document is the result of research carried out by Andrew Reale when working as a researcher with the History and Folklore Project, Limerick Civic Trust (September 2009 – March 2011) Project Coordinator: David Lee Assistant Coordinator: Debbie Jacobs 1 Introduction In 1922 Ireland went through dramatic changes, the withdrawal of British gave the Irish nation a chance to initiate programs that would change Ireland forever. One of the most important projects was the erection of a Hydro-Electric dam at Ardnacrusha, this project would prove innovative and a catalyst for the economic growth of the nation. As a rural nation in the 1900s many Irish people on the lower Shannon gained their living from farming or fishing; places like Castleconnell and Killaloe had vibrant angling tourism industries and it’s clear that anyone involved in fisheries in the region enjoyed economic security. The Shannon also contributed to the richness of the soil along its banks and riverside farms and gardens were very productive. Today it’s easy to forget that the Shannon Salmon generated huge financial returns for Fisheries owners, in the 1930’s the management of the Lower Shannon Fisheries was directed by the Limerick Board of Fishery Conservators. The Board was responsible for policing and directing fisheries polices in the Limerick region, and were involved in the fishery until 1934 when Minister Sean Lemass introduced the Shannon Fisheries Bill to Dáil Éireann. It was proposed that the Electricity Supply Board would in future be responsible for the management of the fisheries of the River Shannon.

Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC) are the key structure identified by Government to plan and co-ordinate services for children and young people in every county in Ireland. The Clare CYPSC was established in December 2016 and we are still getting organised. The overall purpose of the committee is to improve outcomes for children and young people, aged between 0 – 24 years, through local and national interagency working. The committee provides a forum for joint planning to ensure that children, young people and their families receive improved and accessible services. The work of the Clare CYPSC over the past year has involved an extensive research and consultation process to gather information from children, parents and professionals about the key needs and challenges they for children and young people linked to the 5 nationals outcomes set out in Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures National Policy Framework 2014-2020. As part of the research process commenced this year, the Clare CYPSC commissioned this report from the All Ireland Research Observatory (AIRO). The report provides a detailed mapping and statistical analysis of the socio-demographic trends in Co. Clare. The report focuses on children and young people’s data with five sections comprising: Demography, Economy, Education, Health and Security.

  • Siemens Company History Phase 1
    Opening of the hydro power plant in Shannon July 22, 1929 Ireland was almost “untouched by electric power” in the early 1920’s outside of a few larger cities such as Dublin and Cork. The total capacity of all public electric plants was around 27,000 kilowatts (kW). The Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) had almost no coal deposits, so the ambition was to use domestic water General view of the Ardnacrusha power for electrification and economic hydroelectric power plant on the development of the country. Back then, some Shannon, 1929 three million people lived in the area that was to be supplied with power, which, at 70,000 square kilometers, was about the size of Bavaria. The idea of harnessing the energy from the lower part of the River Shannon, with its steep fall, originated with Thomas McLaughlin, an Irish physicist and electrical engineer who had worked at Siemens-Schuckertwerke (SSW) in Berlin starting in late 1922. With the support of hydroelectric power experts from Siemens, he convinced the Irish government that the project was technically and economically feasible. The initial talks between Siemens and government representatives of the Irish Free State began in early 1924, and the German electrical engineering company was asked to prepare proposals on power generation Thomas Anthony McLaughlin, and distribution. undated © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history Frankfurt.

  • The Parteen Eviction
    THE PARTEEN EVICTION henever there is talk of the Land War in Clare, one regularly hears mention of the evictions at Bodyke, Kildysart and Miltown Malbay. Little is heard of a brutal eviction in south-east Clare, where a farmer, his wife and their ten children were savagely forced out of their home in late September, 1887. Michael Lane of Firhill, Parteen, was a tenant on the 600 acre estate of Colonel Thomas J. McAdam of Blackwater. He and his wife, Joanna, had lived on their 321h acres farm for 14 years. Michael had inherited the farm from his father, who had toiled there for over 30 years. The valuation was £38.10.0. Initially, the rent was £40 a year, rising to £50, and eventually to the exorbitant rate of £102 a year. The bad economic times of the 1870s and early 1880s led many farmers to look A watercolour of Parteen by E. Hawker. for a reduction in their rents.
