Louth Dundalk is the county town of County Louth. The town is on the Castletown River, which flows into Dundalk Bay, on the east coast of Ireland. It is near the border with Northern Ireland, and is equidistant between Dublin and Belfast Having been inhabited since the Neolithic period, Dundalk was established as a Norman stronghold in the 12th century following the Norman invasion of Ireland, and became the northernmost outpost of The Pale in the Late Middle Ages. The town came to be nicknamed the “Gap of the North” where the northernmost point of the province of Leinster meets the province of Ulster. The legends of the mythical warrior hero Cú Chulainn are set in the district. County Louth is named after the village of Louth, which in turn is named after Lugh, a god of the ancient Irish. The county is steeped in myth, legend and history, and is a setting in the Táin Bó Cúailnge, an epic in early Irish literature. County Louth is colloquially known as ‘the Wee County’ as it is Ireland’s smallest county by area.

5. Economic Development
Dundalk and Environs Development Plan 5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 5.1 Introduction and Context This chapter sets out the Councils policies and proposals, which are aimed at promoting and enabling economic development and tourism within the plan area. This chapter gives effect to the Strategic Objective for Economic Development. SO1 Assist in the development of Dundalk's Gateway status as a Regional Employment Growth Centre & Regional Shopping Destination. 5.1.1 National and Regional Context It is a priority of the National Development Plan 2000-2006 to promote sustainable growth and employment. The National Development Plan identifies key determinants of sustained economic performance, both nationally and regionally, and these include: • Ease of access to foreign and domestic markets. • A modern telecommunications network. • Back-up research and technology infrastructure which is accessible to enterprises in all sectors. • A well developed educational system. • A highly qualified and skilled workforce. • High quality physical infrastructure, including inter-urban transport and energy transmission systems. • An adequate supply of housing. • A good overall quality of life and; • A high quality and sustainable environment. The areas that are best endowed with these characteristics are generally the larger urban centres, which have a strategic location relative to their surrounding territory. These areas possess good social and economic infrastructure and support services, and have the potential to open up their zones of influence to further development. The cities and towns with this capability are envisaged in the National Development Plan as developmental “gateways”, able to drive growth throughout their zones of influence and Colin Buchanan and Partners 43 Dundalk and Environs Development Plan generate a dynamic of development that, which inclusively, recognises and exploits the relationship between city, town, village and rural area.

Types of Higher Education Institutions
Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Types of Higher Education Institutions Ireland’s higher education system is principally a binary system with universities and institutes of technology. In 1997, the Universities Act was passed, the most significant piece of university legislation since the State was founded. For all seven universities in the State, the Act set out the objects and functions of a university, the structure and role of governing bodies, staffing arrangements, composition and role of academic councils and sections relating to property, finance and reporting. The governing authorities are required to see that strategic development plans are in place, and that procedures for evaluating teaching and research are in place. The HEA has an overseeing role on such plans and quality assurance procedures. The legislative framework preserves the academic freedom of the universities and respects the diverse traditions and institutional autonomy of each university. The Institutes of Technology Act, 2006, creates a similar relationship between the Institutes and the HEA as that between the HEA and the universities. It provides for greater institutional autonomy, improved governance and a statutory guarantee of academic freedom for the IoTs. University Tertiary Education There are seven State-supported universities in Ireland. The National University of Ireland has four constituent universities at Dublin, Cork, Galway and Maynooth which are largely independent under the Universities Act of 1997. The University of Dublin with its single college, Trinity College, is the oldest established university (1592). The other two established universities are the University of Limerick and Dublin City University. St.

“Oval forms occur in the natural world and are found in cells, pollen grains, seeds, eggs and skulls. These have structures that have evolved to contain matter and provide protection. My hollow sculpted forms explore the theme of containment. Constructed walls form a ‘taut membrane’, which is pierced and made permeable. Intricacy of surface detail is counterbalanced by Duo, 2016 the simplicity of the ovoid form.” Ceramic stoneware, 17 H x 40 W x 27 D cm Frances Lambe Ireland b. 1961 Frances Lambe studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. She works with a variety of different clays from terracotta through to white stoneware and porcelain. Frances usually leaves her work unglazed except for the occasional application of oxides. A hallmark of her work is the delicate finish, she pays particular attention to ensure that surface texture unites with form. Her source of inspiration is the natural world, in particular the sea. Her ceramic forms describe an underwater world, the sphere, the oval and undulating forms are recurring themes. Their purity of form recalls stones that have been polished by the movement of water and sand. Frances’ work is in public and private collections including the National Museum of Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, the Office of Public Works, and the National Museum of Northern Ireland.

Evidence of Long-Distance Coastal Sea Migration of Atlantic Salmon, Salmo Salar, Smolts from Northwest England (River Derwent)

Read Full License Page 2/12 Abstract Combining data from multiple acoustic telemetry studies has revealed that west coast England Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smolts use a northward migration pathway through the Irish Sea to reach their feeding grounds. 100 Atlantic salmon smolts were tagged in May 2020 in the River Derwent, northwest England as part of an Environment Agency/Natural England funded project. Three tagged smolts were detected on marine acoustic receivers distributed across two separate arrays from different projects in the Irish Sea. One sh had migrated approximately 262km in 10 days from the river mouth at Workington Harbour, Cumbria to the northernmost receiver array operated by the SeaMonitor project; this is the longest tracked marine migration of an Atlantic salmon smolt migrating from United Kingdom.

Urgent and Emergency Care Provision in Ireland
Urgent and emergency care provision in Ireland What is urgent and emergency care? Urgent and emergency care consists of all the services which contribute to the management of people when immediate care is sought for a health condition along with the processes in place for referring patients between services. When patients need immediate care they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one. Ideally these services would be highly co-ordinated to ensure the time to definitive care is reduced and waste such as inappropriate use of emergency departments is avoided. Current provision in Ireland A wide range of services, public and private, provide emergency and urgent care in Ireland. The services within the emergency and urgent care system (EUCS) include General Practice (GP) (including out-of-hours GP co-operatives), emergency departments (EDs), urgent care centres, acute medical units (AMUs), minor injury units, ambulance services (provided by Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service), and pharmacies. When patients need immediate care, they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one in a single episode of illness. For example, they may phone an out-of-hours GP, be transferred by ambulance to an ED and be admitted to hospital. The combination of these services are defined as an EUCS. The provision of effective emergency and urgent care is critically dependent on all elements of the EUCS of a healthcare system (figure 1). A well-performing EUCS should improve the chances of survival in a patient with an emergency condition and an urgent condition should ideally be managed by a well- performing EUCS without admission to an inpatient bed.

Dundalk's Integrated Development Strategy – Ireland Dundalk's
Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland 1 (by Declan Murphy, Ireland) Description of the approach (aims, delivery, budget etc) Dundalk is on the east coast of Ireland, midway between the two main urban centres on the island, 80 Kms from Belfast in Northern Ireland (UK) and from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. It is the local government centre for County Louth, a county with mixed agriculture, industry and tourism as main economic activities. The town population has grown from 25,000 in the 1970s to 32,000 in 2005 and is projected to double to 60,000 people by 2020. Historically Dundalk had a strong commercial base with industry in footwear (6,000 employed in the 1960s), textiles, cigarettes, brewing, and engineering. The demise of traditional industries and Dundalk’s geographic location on the border (its natural hinterland to the north is in the UK) have posed development challenges. This was exacerbated by poor infrastructure. Dundalk today is designated as a ‘gateway’ for development under the “National Spatial Strategy for Ireland 2002 – 2020, People, Places and Potential”, which emphasises devolved development. Each county has been encouraged to develop a 10 year vision based on wide consultation, research and visioning. In addition Dundalk has undertaken its own assessment of Dundalk as a place to invest, live, work and visit as the basis for developing an economic development plan up to 2010. National policy in the promotion of entrepreneurship and SMEs is the responsibility of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in Ireland. It delegates responsibility for implementing its policies to state agencies.

The Abduction and Murder of Mr. Seamus Ludlow 2Nd May 1976
The Abduction and Murder of Mr. Seamus Ludlow 2nd May 1976 The Abduction and Murder of Mr. Seamus Ludlow, 2nd May 1976 Updated background to the case, January 1999. This is split into the following sections: ● A Profile ● The Investigation ● New Evidence ● Summary ● Case update January 1999 A Profile On the 1st May 1976, Seamus Ludlow returned from work at 1.15p.m. It was a lovely sunny day on a Saturday afternoon. Seamus was employed by Mr. Danny Philips, Timber Merchant, in Ravensdale, Co. Louth. His brother-in-law, Tommy Fox, also worked there as a tree feller. Both men got on very well with each other and enjoyed a bit of 'craic'. Seamus cleaned himself up and headed for Dundalk at about 3.00p.m. which was his customary routine on a Saturday afternoon, where he would enjoy a few pints and play a few games of darts and rings with his friends, frequenting two or three pubs in the town. It was known he drank in the Lisdoo Arms Pub. Leaving at about 11.30p.m. to hitch a lift home to his home at Thistle Cross, Mountpleasant, he was spotted by a number of people hitching a lift between the Lisdoo Arms and Smith's Garage on the Newry Road. Sometime between 11.40p.m. and 12.30a.m. a strange car with strange men stopped and gave him a lift. The journey to his home would have taken 8- 10 minutes, depending on the traffic, Seamus never returned home. On Sunday morning, 2nd May 1976, his sister Nan Sharkey, whom Seamus lived with along with his http://www.serve.com/pfc/ludlow/ludlow99.htm (1 of 6)11/01/2007 12:55:59 The Abduction and Murder of Mr.

Inventory of Salmon Rivers
Council CNL(05)45 Development of the NASCO Database of Irish Salmon Rivers - Report on Progress (Tabled by European Union – Ireland) CNL(05)45 Development of the NASCO Database of Irish Salmon Rivers - Report on Progress (Tabled by European Union – Ireland) Background In order to measure and improve progress in meeting the objective of the NASCO Plan of Action for Application of the Precautionary Approach to the Protection and Restoration of Atlantic Salmon Habitat, CNL(01)51, it is recommended that Contracting Parties and their relevant jurisdictions establish inventories of rivers to: - establish the baseline level of salmon production against which changes can be assessed; - provide a list of impacts responsible for reducing the productive capacity of rivers, so as to identify appropriate restoration plans. At the 2004 NASCO meeting the next steps in the development of the salmon rivers database were identified and agreed, CNL(04)38. The next steps are summarised below ((i) – (iii)) and the progress made by Ireland is identified. (i) Parties should agree to update the original NASCO rivers database annually (via the expanded web-based database) to correct errors and inconsistencies and conform to the new format. Progress On Updating the Original NASCO Rivers Database For Irish Rivers Previously, the Rivers Table on the NASCO rivers database for Ireland listed 192 Irish rivers. This list was drawn up several years ago and, on the basis of new information, it has been revised. Significant revisions follow McGinnity et al. (2003). This project involved identification (consultation with Fisheries Board Inspectors in the 17 Irish Fishery Districts and interrogation of extensive recent and archival juvenile population database) of all salmon (and sea trout) rivers in Ireland and an estimation of their size in terms usable river habitat area.
