Infill Retention at Newrath, Kilculliheen, Co. Kilkenny - PL 10.219971 Final, June 2007 1 Summary In December 2005, Purcell Brothers Ltd. applied to Kilkenny Co. Council for planning permission to retain infill on about 1.96 ha of a 5 ha Site at Newrath, Kilculliheen, Co. Kilkenny. The Application (05/1973) also provided for the rearrangement of the remaining wetlands on the Site, the landscaping and planting of a boundary embankment, and the provision of 0.5ha on the other side of the adjacent N9 as compensatory wetland. The retention on the Site of about 0.6 ha of infill had already been approved in 1998 (97/1053).The Site has industrial zoning in the Kilkenny County Development Plan. Objections to the Co. Council were lodged by Mr Brendan McCann of Waterford City and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). In February 2006, the Co. Council requested further information from the Applicant. This was submitted in April & August 2006 and included reports on hydrology, ecology and migratory birds. NPWS withdrew their objection in August 2006, subject to the inclusion of ecological conditions for habitat creation In September 2006, the Co. Council decided to grant planning permission, subject to 15 conditions, of which 10 related to ecology. This was appealed to An Bord Pleanála (the Board) by Mr. Brendan McCann on ecological and other grounds in October 2006 (PL 10.219971). Later that month, the appeal was supported by an observation from Ms Rita Canney. In November 2006, the Applicants and the Co. Council responded to the Appeal and the Observation and the Co. Council also granted a waste permit for the retention and rearrangement of the infill. The Board invited An Taisce to make a submission in January 2007 and the Board then invited the Applicant, the Appellant, the Council and the Observer to respond to the An Taisce submission in February 2007. The Board’s Inspector completed his report in March 2007 and recommended that permission should granted subject to essentially the Co. Council ecological conditions. In April 2007, the Board commissioned Coveney Wildlife Consulting Ltd. to review the ecological issues relevant to this appeal and to assess the likely ecological impacts, with regard to the proposed mitigation measures, the proposed additional infilling and the proposed wetland creation. Recommendations were sought on the need for further information and conditions that should attach to a grant of planning permission, or reasons for a rejection of planning permission The approximately triangular 5 ha Site is located close to the northern bank of the River Suir about 2.5 km northwest of Waterford City. It was formerly part of the floodplain of a tributary of the River Suir, the River Blackwater. However, it was separated from the Blackwater by an embankment when this tributary was diverted in the 19th or early 20th centuries to enter the Suir some 700 m further upstream. It adjoins the current N9 going out of Waterford towards Dublin, the Waterford to Dublin railway line, the River Blackwater, and it is within 10m of the Lower River Suir Special Area of Conservation (code 2137). The Grannyferry NHA (code 833) is also close by. During the 1990’s the Site was largely reedbed apart from the embankment on its southwestern boundary. By 2002, 2.54 ha in the centre of the Site was infilled with inert material, most of it unauthorised. This left 1.27 ha of reedbed at the southern end of the Site and 0.14 ha of reed and sedge swamp at the northern edge of the Site . The remainder of the Site is occupied by 0.75 ha of hedgerow on the embankment on the southwestern boundary and 0.29 ha of grassland. The current area of infill is between 1.17 and 2.8m above the Ordnance Datum (OD), the wetlands are between 0.5 and 1.0 m OD, and the embankment is about 3.5m OD. The detailed review of the ecological review in the Board’s file highlighted the following ecological points:- 1. After rearrangement of the existing wetlands on the Site, the proposed development would result in the net infill of additional 0.25 ha of wetlands, leaving 2.79 ha for future development and 2.21 ha as ecological areas, mainly wetlands and the existing embankment from the River Blackwater. 2. The main wetland, of 0.62 ha, would be at the northern end where it would have more biodiversity because of the brackish influence of the adjacent tidal Blackwater on the ground water underneath it. The existing southern reedbed of 1.27 ha would be lost to infill and a wetland canal. 3. A nearby 0.5 ha area of existing wetland on the Applicant’s lands would be transferred to the Co. Council for integration with compensatory wetlands associated with the N25 Waterford Bypass. Coveney Wildlife Consulting Ltd. 19/12/2007 2 Infill Retention at Newrath, Kilculliheen, Co. Kilkenny - PL 10.219971 Final, June 2007 4. The Applicant stated that the proposed development would enhance ecological status and connectivity of the nearby areas designated for nature conservation. 5. Ecological field work was done in May, September & October 2005 and in April, July & August 2006 as well as a desk study. The Site’s remaining wetlands are of local conservation value. 6. The enlargement of the northern wetland was predicted by the Applicant to have a moderate positive effect while the creation of the wetland canal and the enhancement of the embankment hedgerow would have minor positive effects. The infill of the southern wetland would have a minor negative effect because its ecological quality is degraded – this was later reassessed to no significant effect. No adverse affects were predicted on migratory birds or on the nearby SAC or NHA nor their characteristic species because of the lack of hydrological interactions with these areas. 7. Several good practice measures would be taken to avoid pollution effects during construction. 8. Mr Brendan McCann objected to the proposal and the substantial points made by him were, essentially, that the Site is part of the ecosystem complex in the area, the Site’s industrial zoning did not take account of its ecology, permission would be contrary to Development Plan and objectives to protect ecology, and that the ecological impacts of the unauthorised infill to past and present wetlands on the Site were not adequately assessed. The NPWS objection noted the Site’s location adjacent to the SAC, the illegal infill, and sought more hydrological information. NPWS also objected to the loss of the southern wetland and the overall permanent loss of wetland as contrary to the National Biodiversity Plan 9. After the submission of additional ecological information by the Applicant, the NPWS withdrew their objection subject to the imposition of conditions on habitat creation for butterflies, moths and dragonflies and on the design of the enlarged northern wetland. 10. The Co. Council’s decided to grant planning permission, subject to 10 ecological conditions, which were essentially the inclusion of the Applicant’s and the NPWS’s ecological mitigation measures except for the addition of planting and landscaping conditions. Co. Council reports in the Board’s file detail their success in obtaining a conviction against the Applicant in connection with the unauthorised infill, the imposition of substantial landfill levies and site investigation costs, their belief that the measures they have taken would satisfy national and EU authorities, and that they do not believe that the removal of the unauthorised infill would be warranted. Two months after its decision to grant planning permission, the Co. Council granted a Waste Permit (WMP052/2005). 11. Following the Appeal and the supporting Observation there were two additional submissions by the Applicant and the Co. Council, as well as one from An Taisce, the Appellant and the Observer. There were no substantially new ecological points in any of these submissions. 12. The report by the Board’s Inspector noted that the proposal would result in the loss of a small area of ecologically important wetland but recommended against the removal of the unauthorised infill, largely in view of the Site’s industrial zoning. The inspector also noted the withdrawal of the NPWS objection and recommended that permission should be granted subject to essentially the same ecological conditions as the Co. Council. The Site and the surrounding area was visited on 24 May 2007. Observations of the Site and its and habitats and species were essentially as expected from the review of the Board’s file. However, the nearby works for the nearby N25 Waterford bypass may be encroaching on the proposed 0.5ha compensation wetland. 1.1 Principal Findings 1. The ecological information submitted was seriously inadequate because the ecological impact of the loss of wetland habitat to unauthorised infilling was not assessed. It was also inadequate because the effect of the unauthorised infill on the remaining wetlands on the Site was poorly assessed. 2. The size of the proposed compensation wetland is inadequate. Furthermore, its ecological compensation value is reduced because it is already wetland habitat.

  • Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

  • The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement the Kilkenny Archaeological Society Is Grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for Permission to Re-Issue This Book
    The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book. Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred.

ISBN 0 9501687 8 5 Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

BY JOHN HE1V"ETSON. LONDON: MITCHELL & HUGHES, 140 "\V ARDOUR STREET, ·w. 1901, freface. To the eYident nath·e modesty of my worthy and distin­ g·uished Ancestors may be ascribed, I opine, the non-existenee of "Memoirs of the Hewetson Family;" or the stirring­ timf>s in whieh they lived, <l.emanding· active lh·es, gave them little leisure to uernte to pursuits other than the serious and responsible duties of life, either as dignitaries of the Church of Irehmd, officers in the Army and Navy, or as Members of the Parliaments of their country. Those stirring epochs of the past have vanished, and the hour-glasK of Time recorus the effluxion of four centuries since the advent of John Hewetson of York, so I take pen in hand to rescue a fair portion of the Family History from oblh-iou. In addition to consulting family documents, I have drawn largely from ,t Pe<l.igree made for Colonel Henry Alexander Hewetson, J.P., by John Henry Glascott, Esq., Assistant Heralu to the h1te Ulster King-of-Arms, collated valuable information from State documents, and laid nnder contri­ bution the works of Beetham, Burke, Lodge, and other authors too numerous to mention. Thus I am enabled to avail myself of the privilege to honour my estimable Ances­ tors, and present to their numerous descendants the follow­ ing Memoirs, which, through lapse of time and want of opportunity to undertake tt more minute investigation, must necessarily be somewhat incomplete.

In the medieval period a County Sheriff appointed by royal authority administered the County. The County Sheriff was assisted in the administration of the County by the Grand Jury, the members of whom he chose. The Grand Jury of Waterford County consisted of a number of the larger local landowners in Waterford. Under the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898 the Grand Juries ceased to exist and the functions of the Grand Jury were taken over by Waterford County Council. The local electorate elected the members of Waterford County Council. In 1898 the local electorate consisted of the parliamentary electorate and also women and peers. The parliamentary electorate were property owners, occupiers of property who paid rates direct or through the landowner as an addition to rent and any lodger paying more than £10 rent per annum. Waterford County Council met quarterly in the early days and as the business of the council increased so too did the meetings of the Council until they met, as they do now, once a month. The matters dealt with at these meetings are detailed in the Minute Books. A broad range of information is available in the Minute Books of Waterford County Council relating not only to the work of the County Council but also to events of local and national significance.
