Consequently in order to determine the long-term run-off from each of the catchments at the possible discharge points, an average annual rainfall of 1336mm is assumed. This is the average rainfall on the Feale catchment, which is the closest catchment to the River Tyshe with recorded data. The catchment lies in Hydrometric Area 23 in which the estimated annual losses due to evapo-transpiration are 490mm. Thus, the average annual run-off is 1336 – 490 = 846mm/annum, which is equivalent to an average daily flow (ADF) (846 x 1.0 x 106) (1000 x 365.25) = 2,316 m3/d/km2 (0.027 l/s/km2) of catchment area. In the absence of recorded river dry weather and 95 percentile flow data, it is necessary to attempt to calculate what the flows might be for the River Tyshe using the estimated average daily flow.

I first joined the Volunteers at Kilflynn when they were first formed there in the year 1913. Two Ten, ex-British soldiers named Collins and Sheehy, were the drill instructors. The strength of the Company was about 100 men. About August, 1914 our two drill instructors as well as a number of men in the Company were called up as they were on the British Army Reserve. This, as well as Redmond's call on the Volunteers to defend the shores of Ireland, was the cause of the breaking up of the Company and it ceased to exist. It was not, until early 19l7, that the Volunteers were reorganised at Learn, Lixnaw. I and a few other men in the area had got into touch with members of a Volunteer Company which had been in existence in Tralee for some time previously, so we decided to reorganise the Lixnaw Company. Our first Company Captain was Tom Shanahan.
