He was the harbinger in developing a new power, inspiring new life, and creating new ^ interests, in this now charming, once neglected > locality—consequently, his memory should be en- shrined in the hearts of those who know, thA through his devoted energy, genius, liberality, ana perseverance (to the exhaustion of the vigour and — ; iv Introd/uction. strength of his youth and the premature decline of his manhood), he made Dalkey what it is 'to-day,—even though obstructed at every step in every movement which he originated—in a spirit of honour, courage, and honesty of purpose—for its advancement. Your father fortunately lived to witness some portion of his boyhood's prophecy relative to this place fulfilled; then he "passed away" in peace and hope to the silent tomb, leaving *' That which should accompany old age Honour, love, obedience, troops of friends."

MADE INTEKESTING. INTRODUCTION. The present work is in great part based on a lecture delivered by the Author before a highly influential, intelligent, and fashionable audience in the Concert Room of the Queen's Royal Hotel, Dalkey. The lecture had its origin from a conversation on Dalkey, its ancient port, holy wells, and its seven castles, with Mr. Henry Parkinson, T.C., and Mr. J. Burke. By thesegentlemen, the idea of delivering the lee- tureen the antiquarian and historical associa- tions of the place, in connexion with the beauties of the Bay of Dublin, was firsfe suggested. The welcome with which /the lecture was received, the warm approval Elicited through- out its delivery (manifesting ihe intensity of the interest felt on the subject), and the express desure of many resident ladies and gentlemen of influence, that matters of so much local concern should assume a more permanent form than that of a mere lecture, have induced the the Author to compile and publish the foUowing pages containing the substance of the lecture, vi Introduction. and very many additions, which he hopes will render the work more acceptable and entertaining, and more worthy as an historic record of the just celebrity of this and other localities on the shores of our charming Bay. The Author has used every exertion, and spared himself no labour of research to attain these objects.

Site selection was carried out using the Forest Inventory Planning System 1998 (FIPS) and local knowledge. Surveys comprised the recording of site species lists and information at the site level on topography, management, grazing, natural regeneration, geographical situation, adjacent habitat types, invasive species, dead wood and boundaries. Relevés were recorded in each of the main stand types identified at each site. For each relevé, data were recorded on vascular plant and bryophyte cover abundance, soil type and soil chemistry, notable lichens, stand structure, and natural regeneration. Data were also incorporated from a number of external sources. This resulted in a database with data from 1,320 sites and 1,667 relevés. The relevé dataset was analysed using hierarchical clustering and indicator species analysis. Four major woodland groups were defined: Quercus petraea – Luzula sylvatica (260 relevés), Fraxinus excelsior – Hedera helix (740 relevés), Alnus glutinosa – Filipendula ulmaria (296 relevés) and Betula pubescens – Molinia caerulea (371 relevés). Further analysis of the dataset divided these four groups into twenty-two vegetation types. For each vegetation type a synoptic table of the floristic data was produced, together with a list of key indicator species, a list of example sites, summary environmental and stand structure data and a distribution map.

We are, therefore, combining the two years 1978 and 1979 in this issue, Octocentenary Eight hundred years ago two documents of the greatest importance to students of the ‘churchscape’ in the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough, issued from the Lateran Palace in Rome. I refer to the Papal Bulls of April 20th and May 13th 1179, in which Pope Alexander III, at the request of Laurence, Archbishop of Dublin and Malchus, Bishop of Glendalough, confirmed to them their rights over the churches in their respective dioceses. These documents occur among the great number of ‘records of Church interest collected and annotated by Alen, Archbishop of Dublin, 1529-34. Collated and edited, these records are known to students of the medieval Church as “Archbishop Alen’s Register”. In the introduction to his edition, Dr. Charles McNeill calls it “one of the precious pre-Reformation records of the See of Dublin... records transcribed into it...from originals still extant in Archbishop Alen’s time...beginning in 1155 and continuing down to 1533”.

  • Archaeology & Cultural Heritage
    Chapter 4: Archaeology & Cultural Heritage Golf Lane SHD Environmental Impact Assessment Report Chapter 4 – Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 4.0 ARCHAEOLOGY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE 4.1 INTRODUCTION 4.1.1 GENERAL The following chapter details a pre-planning archaeological assessment undertaken for a proposed residential development at Golf Lane, Glenamuck Road in Carrickmines Great, Dublin 18 (Figure 4.1, ITM 721600, 723950). This assessment has been carried out to ascertain the potential impact of the proposed development on the archaeological and historical resource that may exist within the area. The assessment was undertaken by Maeve Tobin and Jacqui Anderson of IAC Archaeology. The site partially lies within the zone of notification for Carrickmines Castle and associated features (DU026-005), a National Monument in local authority ownership. Archaeological testing was carried out within this part of site in 2007, although no archaeology was found at this time (Ministerial Consent C207, Registration No. E003332). Pre- planning consultation with the NMS noted that further testing should be carried out to inform this impact assessment; however, the current site conditions meant that this is not currently feasible (Figure 4.4). Detailed relating to all recorded monuments in the study area are included in Appendix 4.1. The archaeological assessment involved a detailed study of the archaeological and historical background of the proposed development site and the surrounding area. This included information from the Record of Monuments and Places of County Dublin, the topographical files within the National Museum and all available cartographic and documentary sources for the area. A field inspection has also been carried out with the aim to identify any previously unrecorded features of archaeological or historical interest.

The Newsletter: This month, the article will concentrate on the oldest part of the site here: St. Begnet’s Church and Graveyard. St. Begnet’s church was founded around the 7th century, in common with many Early Christian churches. Originally, the church was a wooden structure but was later rebuilt from stone. The majority of the surviving building is Anglo-Norman and is built with granite. The church served the Catholic community until the Reformation of Henry VIII when there was great upheaval. Over the centuries, it served both Catholic and Protestant congregations. The Church was reported to be ‘ruinous’ by 1630. The parish was united with Monkstown in 1689 and St. Begnet’s fell into disuse. The Nave is the oldest part of the church building. Incorporated into the north wall of the nave are two features which were part of the earlier church. One is a small round-headed window on the interior and the other is a stone with a cross picked into the surface on the exterior. The Twin Belfry dates to the 13th or 14th century. The bellcote contained two bells. Access to the belfry was made by climbing up the outside and the bells were struck by hand.

In the consultations conducted throughout the country in the development of the National Childrenʼs Strategy (2000), the need for improved play and recreation facilities was the single biggest concern cited by p.1-2 children and young people. The report based on the research, was launched by the Minister for Children, Brendan Smith TD, at Larkin Community College on September 10 2007. Teenspace recognises that young people donʼt always want to participate in structured activities and that hanging out is a valid and important aspect of teenage life. ʻTeenspace promotes new initiatives and the need for interagency co-operation but also outlines a strategic approach to existing investmentʼ said the Minister. ʻTo invest wisely in the future, we need to involve young people in helping us to plan and design the facilities, which are most relevant to themʼ he added. Liz Canavan, Principal Officer in the Office of the Minister for Children, said: p.2 ʻitʼs fantastic to see the kinds of recreational innovations which are already happening and seem to be hitting the mark with young people. We need to mainstream these projects and foster more interagency collaboration by the way we invest in the futureʼ.
