  • The Cork to Passage Railway
    THE PROPOSED CORK TO PASSAGE RAILWAY 1837 Brendan Hall The Parliamentary Committee to consider the Bill for the construction of a railway between Cork and Passage West met over three days in April 1837. The members of the Committee were Mr. O'Connell, Mr. D. Callaghan1, Mr. Jephson, Mr. Serjeant Jackson, Mr. Longfield2, Mr. Roche3, Mr. Vesey, Sir Andrew Agnew, Sir R. Bateson, Mr. Barry4, Mr. Cole, Colonel Thomas, Mr. E. Buller and Sir Richard Musgrave. There were several petitions against the Bill. One was from a group of Cork (city and county) inhabitants, alleging that the proposed railway would be harmful to the navigation of the river Lee and to trade in Cork city. No evidence was put forward to support these allegations and the claim was rejected. A petition forwarded by a consortium interested in constructing a competing railway service between Cork and Cove was also rejected. The Committee looked sympathetically on a protest by William Wise, on whose land it was proposed to build a railway terminus on the side of the river Lee. Traffic from Cork to Passage (1837) Statement showing the present annual amount of traffic, and the expected annual traffic by the Cork and Passage Railway, in Passengers and Goods - Present avg.

  • Proposed Extension to Gibbon's Quay Storm Outfall, Kinsale, County Cork
    Proposed Extension to Gibbon’s Quay Storm Outfall, Kinsale, County Cork Archaeological Assessment Prepared by: John Cronin & Associates Burnside St. Oran’s Road Buncrana Co. Donegal F93 RW84 On behalf of: RPS Innishannon, Ballincollig, County Cork May 2019 Executive Summary This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment of known and potential archaeological constraints in the vicinity of a proposed pipe outfall at Gibbon’s Quay, Kinsale, Co. Cork (Figure 1). The proposed works are still in the design phase but will generally comprise the installation of an approx. 40m long outfall pipe that will extend from an existing outfall within the quayside to beyond the Low Water Mark within a subject area shown on Figure 2 of this report. Indicative plan and section drawings of the potential extent of the proposed outfall works at the time of writing are presented in Appendix 2. Construction of the outfall shall involve dredging of the sea bed to create a trench to contain the pipework and a concrete surround. Following installation of the pipework, surround and armour, the trench shall be backfilled with dredged material. The study area reviewed for this desk-based study comprised the subject site and an area extending for 500m in all directions from its boundary. There are no designated archaeological sites within the subject site or within its close environs and the nearest recorded example is an 18th century Custom House (CO112-058----) located approx. 115m to the north. The subject site is located within an area of Kinsale developed during the 18th century and is located c.440m to the south of the zone of archaeological notification surrounding the medieval core of the town (CO112-034001-).

Community Academic Research Links (CARL) is a community engagement initiative provided by University College Cork to support the research needs of community and voluntary groups/ Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). These groups can be grass roots groups, single issue temporary groups, but also structured community organisations. Research for the CSO is carried out free of financial cost by student researchers. CARL seeks to: • provide civil society with knowledge and skills through research and education; • provide their services on an affordable basis; • promote and support public access to and influence on science and technology; • create equitable and supportive partnerships with civil society organisations; • enhance understanding among policymakers and education and research institutions of the research and education needs of civil society, and • enhance the transferrable skills and knowledge of students, community representatives and researchers (www.livingknowledge.org). What is a CSO? We define CSOs as groups who are non-governmental, non-profit, not representing commercial interests, and/or pursuing a common purpose in the public interest. These groups include trade unions, NGOs, professional associations, charities, grass-roots organisations, organisations that involve citizens in local and municipal life, churches and religious committees, and so on.
