Bourke 03/03/2020 from NPWS Natura Impact Statement Page ii Killimor Arterial Drainage Scheme- NIS Executive Summary Ryan Hanley has been commissioned by the Office of Public Works (OPW) to provide environmental consultancy services in relation to statutory arterial drainage maintenance activities for 2019. Following the methodology outlined in Ryan Hanley (2014a), a screening assessment was conducted to assess the likely significant effects on European sites of the proposed drainage maintenance activities in the Killimor Arterial Drainage Scheme in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora). Three “source > pathway > receptor chains” were examined to assess the likely impact of drainage maintenance activities on European sites; surface water, land and air, and groundwater pathways. The results of this screening exercise identified that significant adverse impacts could not be excluded on the following European sites: ▪ Ardgraigue Bog SAC (002356) ▪ Barroughter Bog SAC (000231) ▪ Lough Derg, North-East Shore SAC (002241) ▪ Lough Derg (Shannon) SPA (004058) ▪ Slieve Aughty Mountains SPA (004168) As a result, it was necessary to conduct a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment to further examine the potential direct and indirect impacts of the proposed works on the integrity and interest features of the above European sites, alone and in- combination with other plans and projects, taking into account the site's structure, function and conservation objectives. Further examination of the potential sources of impact on the European sites above, looking at surface water, land and air and groundwater pathways, was conducted. Where potentially significant adverse impacts were identified, a range of mitigation and avoidance measures have been stipulated to help offset them. As a result of this Appropriate Assessment it has been concluded, that given the avoidance and mitigation measures suggested, the proposed drainage maintenance operations in the Killimor Arterial Drainage Scheme will not have a significant adverse impact on the above European sites.

  • The Irish Workhouse Centre Portumna Co. Galway
    Mountbellew Conference, 21 October 2017 Why the Workhouse system... The Architect in theory... George Nicholls The Architect in practice... George Wilkinson The Workhouses of Co Galway – Part One Ballinasloe, Clifden, Galway, Gort, Loughrea, Tuam The Workhouses of Co Galway – Part Two Glenamaddy, Mountbellew, Oughterard, Portumna Emigration from the Workhouses After the Great Hunger The end of matters... There was work available in England but little work available in Ireland (no industrial revolution). The housing in Ireland was pitiable... Irishmen began to flock to England in search of work and the government needed to stop this. They sent over George Nicholls to find a solution to Ireland’s poverty. After six weeks he recommended the Workhouse System. The Irish Poor Law Act became law in 1838. It divided the country in 130 unions, with a further 33 added during the Great Hunger. George Nicholls - Family of builder architects in Oxfordshire. - Had been involved in the construction of a number of workhouses in England. - Only 24 when appointed as architect to the Poor Law Commission in 1839. - He was a flawed character and architect, notwithstanding level of detail. Galway: Ballinasloe, Clifden, Galway, Glenamaddy, Gort, Loughrea, Mountbellew, Oughterard, Portumna, Tuam. Mountbellew Electoral Divisions: Annagh, Ballynakill, Caltra, Castleblakeney, Castleffrench, Clonbrock, Cloonkeen, Cooloo, Derryglassaun, Killeroran, Killian, Mountbellew, Mounthazel, Taghboy. George Wilkinson • If people couldn’t afford to support themselves they came to the workhouse. • In the workhouse, they had to do work in exchange for food. • In Ireland, people had to stay and live in the workhouse. • That is why it was called ‘Indoor Relief’.

  • Killimor Trail
    Killimor Trail An Overview of the Parish and the Village Welcome to Killimor, a village which is situated on the N65 between Portumna and Loughrea and stands roughly in the centre of the parish. Killimor Parish consists of forty six townlands, and covers an area of nine thousand, two hundred and twenty statute acres. The name Killimor is an anglicised form of the Irish Cill Íomair. The initial settlement, that later evolved as Killimor, developed at the intersection of two major topographical features – the Kilcrow river and the esker network, both of which were important routes in earlier times. The early history of Killimor is difficult to ascertain, as very few references exist. What is known, however, is that a religious foundation that sprang up there is reputed to have been established by St. Iomar. The name Cill-Íomair means the Church of Imor. Killimor is also spelled with the letter “e” at the end, and is also known as Killimor-Bologue. Some experts think that the word Bologue means a loaf or a yearling heifer. Again it is said that the word Bologue was post fixed to Killimor to distinguish it from Killimordaly, a parish lying in the barony of Kilconnell near Athenry. Killimor can boast of a wealth of archaeological sites and monuments in the various townlands in the parish such as forts, children’s burial grounds, corn mills, souterrains, stepping stones, bullaun stones, eel weirs, limekilns, and a tunnel which is situated in the townland of Ahanduff. A full listing may be found on archaeology.ie and on the Ordnance Survey Map.

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
