Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways
Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week.

Cave Notes: County Mayo, Ireland
Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2014, 26 (2), 185-200 CAVE NOTES: COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND by JACOB PODESTA ABSTRACT Following the 2012 visit, when wet conditions rendered many of the caves inaccessible or dangerous (Hadfield, 2013), a UBSS team visited Co. Mayo again, focusing mainly on the area in and around Cong. The caves visited are described, and new surveys are presented. INTRODUCTION It has been decided to release an updated and extended edition of the book, The Caves of County Clare and South Galway (Mullan, 2003), with additional sections on the caves of the north of Galway and of Co. Mayo in time for the Society’s centenary in 2019. The majority of the new sites are in the Cong area and two visits have so far been conducted by members of the Society, with further visits planned. The notes from the second of these trips are presented below, along with information on Quealy’s Cave, kindly provided by Tony Boycott and Pat Cronin. By linking this work with other information on the caves around Cong it is hoped that a more comprehensive overview of the region can be produced, allowing future efforts to be better directed. Complete surveys have been produced of Wolves’ Hole, Priest’s Hole, Lady’s Buttery, Horse Discovery and Bunnadober Lake Cave. With the exception of Priest’s Hole, which has no accessible water and no diving potential, all these caves have been surveyed up to the start of the diving lines in the hope being that survey data collected for the dry sections of caves can ultimately be linked with data from surveys of the dived sections.

Site Synopsis
SITE SYNOPSIS SITE NAME: LOUGH CORRIB SPA SITE CODE: 004042 Lough Corrib is the largest lake in the country and is located, for the most part, in County Galway, with a small section in the north extending into County Mayo. The lake can be divided into two parts: a relatively shallow basin in the south, which is underlain by Carboniferous limestone, and a larger, deeper basin to the north, which is underlain by more acidic granite, schists, shales and sandstones. The main inflowing rivers are the Black, Clare, Dooghta, Cregg, Owenriff and the channel from Lough Mask. The main outflowing river is the Corrib, which reaches the sea at Galway City. The shallow, lime-rich waters of the southern basin of the lake support one of the most extensive beds of Stoneworts (Charophytes) in Ireland. These Chara beds are a very important source of food for waterfowl. In contrast, the northern basin contains more oligotrophic and acidic waters. Large areas of reedswamp vegetation, dominated by varying mixtures of Common Reed (Phragmites australis) and Common Club-rush (Scirpus lacustris) occur around the margins of the lake. The lake has numerous islands, which range from relatively bare rocky islets to larger islands with grassland or woodland. The site is a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the E.U. Birds Directive, of special conservation interest for the following species: Greenland White-fronted Goose, Gadwall, Shoveler, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Common Scoter, Hen Harrier, Coot, Golden Plover, Black-Headed Gull, Common Gull, Common Tern and Arctic Tern. The site is also of special conservation interest for holding an assemblage of over 20,000 wintering waterbirds.

Pic 1. Who in Moycullen Would Have Used This Item And
Moycullen Local History Quiz Number Two – Answers We hope you enjoyed this quiz. Pic 1. Who in Moycullen would have used this item and when? Answer: This is an altar stone and would have been used by the local roman catholic parish priest when holding masses outside the parish church, ie at mass rocks, stations, wakes. The altar stone would often be made from marble or slate, it was consecrated and the etching of the five crosses would have represented Christ’s wounds on the cross – two hands, side and two feet. Moycullen parish are lucky to still retain several altar stones from our local past. Pic 2. You might know where in Moycullen this structure is, but what was its purpose? Answer: This pyramid is situate on the shore of Lough Corrib in Annagh townland and is a fishery boundary marker.

The pyramid at Annagh, and a corresponding marker on the opposite side of the lake, indicated the points from where therein to Galway city was Galway Fisheries territory. It is recorded as Register Number 717 on the Record of Protected Structures of Ireland. Pic 3. What did this item do?

Galway in the River Corrib catchment. The lake stretches from outside Galway city to within three kilometers of Maam Cross, a distance of over 50 kilometers (Figs. 1.1 and 1.2). The main rivers draining into Lough Corrib include the Black, Clare, Dooghta, Cregg, Owenriff Rivers and the Cong canal which joins Lough Corrib to Lough Mask. The lake can be divided into two parts; Lower Lough Corrib - a relatively shallow basin underlain by carboniferous limestone in the south, and Upper Lough Corrib - a larger, deeper basin underlain by more acidic granite, schists, shales and sandstones to the north (NPWS, 2004).

Lough Corrib Angling Federation APPELLANT
Appeal No. VA89/0/103 AN BINSE LUACHÁLA VALUATION TRIBUNAL AN tACHT LUACHÁLA, 1988 VALUATION ACT, 1988 Lough Corrib Angling Federation APPELLANT and Commissioner of Valuation RESPONDENT RE: Trout Hatchery and Land Co. Galway B E F O R E Mary Devins Solicitor (Acting Chairman) Paul Butler Barrister Brian O'Farrell Valuer JUDGMENT OF THE VALUATION TRIBUNAL ISSUED ON THE 2ND DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1989 By notice of appeal received on the 14th August, 1989, the appellants appealed against the determination of the Commissioner of Valuation in fixing a rateable valuation of £8.50 (Buildings £8, Land 50p) on the above described hereditament. The grounds of appeal are as follows: "The building is only in use for five months each year as an incubation centre for trout. The trout fry are then placed in nursery streams around the Corrib Lake to supplement the existing stocks of trout in the lake. All the monitoring, care and distribution of the fry is 2 carried out by club members on a voluntary basis. There is no financial reward for any of the participants. We believe that because of the tremendous imput made by club members for the good of fishing and the benefits to be derived by local and tourist anglers without restrictions, it seems unfair that we should be penalised by the imposition of rates. We have to pay for electric current and maintain the building and provide water supply. All this work is carried out for the common good and helps to improve local amenities. The property is held on trust by the Angling Clubs." DESCRIPTION The subject property is comprised of a hatchery building with an external concrete holding tank standing on just under two acres of land.

In total, 77 sites were visited, and an area of 437.5m2 was surveyed. Lampreys were present at 49% of the sites investigated. • Juvenile lampreys have a patchy distribution in the Corrib catchment. A total of 33 out of the 38 survey areas (87%) that had lampreys present were tributaries and sub-tributaries of the Lough Corrib sub-catchment. Lampreys were present at five sites investigated in the Lough Mask sub-catchment (13%), and no lampreys were recorded in the Lough Carra sub- catchment. The general distribution recorded during the current the survey is broadly similar to that recorded by Byrne et al (2000). • Only one species of lamprey was confirmed from the Corrib catchment: brook lamprey Lampetra planeri.
