  • Cork Planning Authorities Joint Retail Strategy
    Cork City Council Cork County Council Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Strategy December 2013 Midleton Town Council Cobh Town Council Draft Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Strategy 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Retail Planning Guidelines (RPG's) for Planning Authorities (2012), issued by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, require Local Authorities to prepare retail strategies and policies for their areas and to incorporate these where appropriate into their development plan. The guidelines note that certain development plans and local area plans must be informed by joint or multi authority retail strategies which should assess retail activity and demand needs that transcend planning authority boundaries. The guidelines specifically identify that Cork City and County Councils should prepare a joint retail strategy. 1.2 John Spain Associates were commissioned in August 2012 by Cork City Council and Cork County Council to prepare a joint retail study for Metropolitan Cork. The strategy set out within this document is based upon the findings of the retail study which will replace the existing 2008 Cork Strategic Retail Study. The Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Study is available online at www.corkcity.ie and www.corkcoco.ie It is envisaged that this joint retail strategy for the planning authorities in the City and County will be incorporated into the review of their respective development plans commencing in 2013. The strategy will form the agreed basis on which each authority will be able to formulate appropriate development plan objectives or policies for retail development in its areas and will be used in the determination of applications for planning permission.

  • 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-).

  • 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.
