Introduction 1.1 Requirement for Remedial Natura Impact Statement With the coming into force of the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 in August of that year, Section 4(4) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended was amended to the effect that if peat extraction activities required either Environmental Impact Assessment or Appropriate Assessment then any exemption afforded by the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 as amended was from that point de-exempted and such activities now require planning permission from the coming into force of this provision in September 2012. Any doubt as to the applicability of Section 4(4) to peat extraction activities was extinguished by High Court judgements in respect of Friends of the Irish Environment Ltd v. Minister for Communications, Climate Action and the Environment [2019] IEHC 646 and IEHC 685 delivered in September and October 2019 which set aside the EU (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Peat Extraction) Regulations 2019 and the Planning and Development Act (Exempted Development) Regulations 2019 which provided exempted development provisions for peat extraction activities. Therefore, from October 2019 peat extraction activities of the scale that Bord na Móna operate, in excess of 30ha (threshold for EIA requirement), require planning permission. In addition, any peat extraction activity since September 2012 in excess of 30ha needs to be regularised by means of the substitute consent process. On May 1st 2020, An Bord Pleanála granted Bord na Móna leave to apply for Substitute Consent under Section 177C(2)(b) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, (as amended) and under Part 19 of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001 (as amended). Substitute consent is effectively a form of retrospective consent and is being applied for with the aim of regularising the planning status of historic peat extraction carried out by, or on behalf of, Bord na Móna on 38 individual bog units. In accordance with Section 177E of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) the Board has directed that the application for substitute consent must be accompanied by a remedial Natura Impact Statement (rNIS). Section 177G of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires that a remedial Natura Impact Statement (rNIS) shall contain the following: “(a)

    Appendix A: River Basin District Maps The numbers on the maps correspond to the WWDL Registration Number of each agglomeration e.g. 34 is D0034-01. The full list of numbers is located at the end of Appendix A. To view a larger version of each map go to www.epa.ie/downloads/pubs A pass (green circle) indicates that the agglomeration complied with effluent quality and monitoring frequency standards. Agglomerations that failed due to effluent quality are divided into those that failed with <50% of samples taken over the limits for any parameter in the Directive (amber circle) and those plants with ≥50% of samples over the limits for at least one parameter (red triangle). This separates plants with occasional failures from those with persistent effluent quality failures throughout the year. Agglomerations that failed due to lack of secondary treatment in place (as per the Directive) are also shown (red square). A fail due to inadequate sample numbers taken is shown as a red circle. Agglomerations with no treatment (black square), preliminary treatment (black triangle) and primary treatment (black circle) are also indicated on each RBD map.

  • Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. 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.
