24 4 Deel[Newcastlewest] SC 030 Subcatchment Assessment WFD Cycle 2.Pdf WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Shannon Estuary South Subcatchment Deel [Newcastlewest]_SC_030 Code 24_4 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 1 Generated on: 09 Jan 2019 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 This sub-catchment is split along the main channel of the River Deel, and shared with subcatchments 24_1 and 24_14. Significant pressures are mostly agricultural with intensive farming (mixed and dairy). Land spreading, urban wastewater, septic tanks and urban run-off could also be potential pressures here, some of which are in the inputting bodies. Upstream pressures are likely to be having an impact on the lower reaches of the Deel so improvements upstream should also positively impact downstream. The Owenskaw_010 is a tributary to the Deel and is AT RISK. It has no EPA monitoring data but older local authority biology data indicates Poor/Moderate status is likely. There are large dairy farms in the subbasin and agriculture is the likely pressure. The Deel (Newcastlewest)_070 is at REVIEW with Good ecological status but with elevated phosphorus; alum dosing from a water treatment plant was previously a pressure but this activity has stopped. There are likely nutrient inputs from the Bunoke Stream and any improvements here should also improve this part of the Deel. The remaining Deel water bodies are all AT RISK. The Deel (Newcastlewest)_080, Deel (Newcastlewest)_090 and Deel (Newcastlewest)_100 are all at Moderate ecological status likely due to intensive agriculture and urban wastewater discharges. The Deel (Newcastlewest)_110 is at Poor ecological status with elevated phosphate, again likely due to intensive agriculture.

  • Proposed Record of Protected Structures Newcastle West Municipal District
    DRAFT LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 Volume 3B Proposed Record of Protected Structures Newcastle West Municipal District June 2021 Contents 1.0 Introduction Record of Protected Structures (RPS) – Newcastle West Municipal District 1 2.0 Record of Protected Structures - Newcastle West Municipal District ................................. 2 1 1.0 Introduction Record of Protected Structures (RPS) – Newcastle West Municipal District Limerick City & County Council is obliged to compile and maintain a Record of Protected Structures (RPS) under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). A Protected Structure, unless otherwise stated, includes the interior of the structure, the land lying within the curtilage of the structure, and other structures lying within that curtilage and their interiors. The protection also extends to boundary treatments. The proposed RPS contained within Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022 - 2028 Plan represents a varied cross section of the built heritage of Limerick. The RPS is a dynamic record, subject to revision and addition. Sometimes, ambiguities in the address and name of the buildings can make it unclear whether a structure is included on the RPS. Where there is uncertainty you should contact the Conservation Officer. The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is responsible for carrying out surveys of the architectural heritage on a county-by-county basis. Following the publication of the NIAH for Limerick City and County, and any subsequent Ministerial recommendations, the Council will consider further amendments to the Record of Protected Structures. The NIAH survey may be consulted online at buildingsofireland.ie There are 286 structures listed as Protected Structures in the Newcastle West Metropolitan District.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS.WITNESS DOCUMENT NO. W.S. Witness Seamus de Roiste (James Roche), Kilscannell, Ardagh, Co. Limerick. Identity. Captain, Templeglantine Company 2nd Batt'n. West Limerick Brigade. Subject. Templeglantine Company Second Battalion West Limerick Brigade, 1913-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2598 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JAMES ROCHE Kilscannell, Ardagh, Co. Limerick. I was born in the parish of Templeglantine in September 1894. I was sent to the local National School until I was 15 years of age. My school teacher was a man named Neligan who had three sons, Maurice, Jack and Dave. The latter joined the Dublin Metropolitan Police and subsequently figured prominently as an intelligence officer for I.R.A. Headquarters After leaving school I went to work on my father's farm. A company of Volunteers, which I joined, was formed in the parish in the Autumn of 1913. Our organiser and drill instructor was an ex-British soldier named Patrick White. We drilled with wooden rifles at the time. The company ceased to exist around the latter end of 1914 following John Redmond's famous speech in the House of Commons about that time. In the Summer of 1915, Ernest Blythe visited the area and reorganised the company. I rejoined. Our strength was about 40 men. Maurice P. Leahy became the first company captain; Thomas Sextion, 1st Lieutenant, and Thomas Boucher 2nd Lieutenant. We immediately started off drilling and subsequently accompanied Ernest Blythe to Monegay, Ardagh, and Meenahela, and helped in reorganising the companies in these places.

  • The Marian Year Jubilee
    The Marian Year Jubilee 1954 – 2004 Limerick’s contribution to a celebration of Faith Foreword The earliest apparition of the Blessed Virgin is said to be as early as 40 AD, probably before she died, to James the Apostle in Saragossa, Spain. There have been numerous apparitions since then, but the first in Ireland was on August 21st, 1879, in Knock, County Mayo. Margaret Beirne and thirteen others saw a beautiful woman, clothed in white gar- ments, wearing a large brilliant crown. County Mayo had suffered great distress in the 1870s. Partial famine, poverty and forced evictions had created another wave of Irish emigration. It was in this environment that the apparition occurred. The Church’s response to the apparition was typically circumspect. The Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. John MacHale set up a commission to gather testimonies of those claiming to see the apparition and then a record of purported cures was maintained until 1936. The Commission reported that their evidence was “trustworthy and satisfactory”. The Report was published in the newspapers and pilgrims began to travel from afar. One of the first organised pilgrimages to Knock Shrine came from Limerick. Further reports of cures to Limerick people strengthened the connection with Knock. On June 5th 1880 The Munster News reported the story of a woman from Shanagolden, County Limerick, “who arrived in Kilrush to take the steamer across the Shannon on her way home from Knock. Having lost her sight some years previously she had walked all the way to Knock with her young son and during her stay there, recovered her sight.
