    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

    Catherine Murphy, T.D. Dáil Éireann Kildare Street Dublin 2 - D02 A272 9th July 2020 Dear Deputy I am writing to you concerning the matter you raised in Parliamentary Question No. 935 on 3 June last to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, which has been referred to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for reply. Royal Canal Greenway The Royal Canal Greenway is a key element of the Dublin - Galway National Cycle Route, running through Dublin City, Fingal County and Kildare County Council areas. Within the Greater Dublin Area, the scheme is being developed by those local authorities in collaboration with, and funded by, the NTA. The alignment of the scheme parallels the Canal, swapping between the northern and southern sides so as to minimise impacts to the receiving environment. Construction of Phase 2 (between Sherriff Street Upper and North Strand Road - a distance of 0.72 km) began last year and is due for completion shortly. This section includes a new bridge, ramps, underpass and linear park. Phase 3 (between North Strand Road and Phibsborough Road) is currently at detailed design and will progress to construction in 2021. Phase 4 (between Ashtown and Cross Gunns Bridge) is also at detailed design and sections will progress to construction later this year. Consideration is being given to options for the development of the section between Castleknock and the border of Fingal / Kildare and the outcome of that work is expected to progress to planning later this year. Page 1 of 3 The remaining section, which extends from the Fingal / Kildare boundary to Maynooth has Part 8 planning approval.

  • Arthur's Way Heritage Trail
    HERITAGE TRAIL Arthur’s Way is a heritage trail across northeast County Kildare that follows in the footsteps of Arthur Guinness. In just 16 km, it links many of the historic sites associated with Ireland’s most famous brewers – the Guinness family. Visitors are invited to explore Celbridge - where Arthur spent his childhood, Leixlip - the site of his first brewery and Oughterard graveyard - Arthur’s final resting place near his ancestral home. The trail rises gently from the confluence of the Liffey and Rye rivers at Leixlip to the Palladian Castletown House estate and onto Celbridge. It then departs the Liffey Valley to join the Grand Canal at Hazelhatch. The grassy towpaths guide visitors past beautiful flora and fauna and the enchanting Lyons Estate. At Ardclough, the route finally turns for Oughterard which offers spectacular views over Kildare, Dublin and the Province of Leinster. R o yaal l C a MAAYNOOTHYNOOTH nnala l R .

  • The Grand Canal
    ENVIROKIDS WORKSHOPS OUR CANAL SYSTEMS Our Canal systems – Ireland once had a canal network of 25 canals and combining the rivers that connected these canals, nearly every part of Ireland could be reached. Today in Ireland we have 7active canals and 18 that are not in use. Canals were built to transport goods in bulk from one part of the country to another. The construction of the first canal started in 1731 in co Tyrone in the north of Ireland. In this part of Co Tyrone there was a huge coal mine called Coalisland, so to transport coal to Dublin by using the road system, a horse and cart could only carry 1 ton but the same horse could pull a Barge full of coal weighing 70 tonnes. The Newry canal was finished in 1742 and was 18 miles long, and with 14 loughs climbing through a mountain, this was a huge engineering task for the time. This new canal proved to be a huge success and opened the door for the construction of more canals throughout the country. In this issue we will take a look at 2 canals in particular, the Grand and the Royal canal and their construction, that changed Ireland and helped one company to expand. We will also look at the canals today and what has happened to some of them, we will look at the Lough systems, and why canals are so important to our wildlife and the people that use them. 1 B Barge A Working Barge Horse drawn Barge The Grand Canal After the success of the Newry canal system the Irish government were looking to link Dublin with the River Shannon to open what is called a trade route.

    Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade Capital Project 966 Step 4 Consultation 31 August 2021 to 22 November 2021 EirGrid Transmission Development Plan · 2020-2029 Page a Who are EirGrid – and what do we do? EirGrid is responsible for a safe, secure and reliable supply of electricity – now and in the future. We develop, manage and operate the electricity transmission grid. This grid brings power from where it is generated to where it is needed throughout Ireland. We use the grid to supply power to industry and businesses that use large amounts of electricity. The grid also powers the distribution network and supplies the electricity you use every day in your homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and farms. About this update We want to hear what you have to say about the 4 underground cable route options we are considering for the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade. This update is for you as stakeholders, communities, landowners and members of the public interested in finding out more about the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade. This document provides information about the project, and we hope it will help you take part in this consultation. We are on Step 4 of a 6-step process (see page 3). Please read this document to understand our thinking and to understand how you can give us your feedback. The consultation is open from 31 August 2021 to 22 November 2021. We are consulting on four underground cable route options (see page 6) for the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade. We will consider feedback on all four route options before deciding on what the best route option is to take forward to detailed design.

L I r LJ By L Marie Dromey Brigid Johnston r s Sinead Keane L I E s L I El r LI s s LI s .7 U r-I r-I r-I SUMMARY 1. Part 1 contains the report of an ecological survey of LJ theGrand Canal carried out over one full growing season in 1991. The main objectives were to assess the value of the canal corridor for natureconservation, and to make r-I recommendations for the management of the canal takingthese values into account. The Circular Line, the Mainline, the rl Barrow Line and the Edenderry Branch are all fully navigable. LJ The Naas Braanch is navigable as far as Naas itself, but the section between there and the harbour at Corbally isblocked by a low bridge just outside Naas. This unnavigable stretch of canal is called the Corbally Branch in the report, to distinguish it from the navigable part of the samebranch line. The Milltown Feeder links the canal with Pollardstown L Fen, which is the main source of water for theGrand Canal system. The Kilbeggan Branch was closedto navigation in r--1 1961, and is almmost dry. The possibility of re-opening this LJ branch is being discussed at the present.
