Report production: July 2009 Consultation: August 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat that has been shown to play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at landscape level. However, ponds are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. In 2007, the biodiversity importance of ponds was recognised when high quality ponds (Priority Ponds) were added to the list of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats.

  • Lough-Beg-Wetlands-A6-Road-103190.Pdf
    Disrespecting 'everyday miracles and the living past' The Lough Beg wetlands are magnificent If you stand on Aughrim Hill or visit Church Island, you will be touched by this ancient and beautiful landscape, and most likely you will be alone. The Lough Beg wetlands are hidden from view and, apart from the calls of Whooper swans and other birds, they are silent. Until now. It is a matter of urgent concern that a motorway is proposed for these wetlands. It is “a terrible mistake, one that in future years will seem as incomprehensible as it is careless”1. This road poses an unfathomable threat. It will rise high above existing ground level to forever fragment and ‘desecrate’ this landscape. Drawing in other developments in its wake, the serenity and ecology of this once intact wetland will become industrialised and we will have lost a global treasure. This is an urgent briefing, a final appeal to our government to urgently review this section of road, to revise the Environmental Impact Assessment and not to take any further decision until we have a new government and an elected Minister in place. We also appeal to the international community to help save this global treasure. This is urgent because the government seems determined to push this through. As we write this briefing we do not have a government. There is a legal challenge taken by Chris Murphy that may succeed but the High Court is not permitted to look at the merits of the case. The context behind our concerns: Why this route when there are better alternatives? There are much better alternatives to this 4 miles of route and these other options were not properly considered.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution.

  • Council Grants Comparison Council Grants Comparison
    COUNCIL GRANTS COMPARISON The Review of Public Administration and Local Government Reform, the development of community planning, the Social Investment Fund, and other political and administrative changes in Northern Ireland mark a unique opportunity to reassert the principles of community development and good relations and, in particular, where these sit within local authorities. In recognition of this opportunity, the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland has recently completed a substantial research project through its Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. This series of 5 ‘In-Brief’ publications summarises the findings from this research and some of the policy implications. This series of 5 In-Brief publications has been completed through the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland’s Causeway Communities Engagement Programme. The Causeway Communities Engagement Programme (CCEP) is a pilot initiative to build community capacity and engagement in selected areas in each of the four Council areas involved in the proposed Causeway Coast & Glens Council (Ballymoney, Coleraine, Limavady and Moyle). It began in January 2012 and is scheduled to run until December 2014. The Programme is funded by the International Fund for Ireland, Atlantic Philanthropies and the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland. The key aims of CCEP are: — Developing relationships and capacity, sharing and learning, meeting local needs; — Addressing future political and administrative changes; — Linking local communities and groups with agencies and Council functions; — Tackling community tensions and divisions; — Addressing the legacy of the conflict; — Sharing the process model and policy lessons with other Council areas and policy makers. There is a huge variation in community development and good relations grants and support programmes across the current 26 District Councils.
