Nore Catchment Assessment 2010-2015 (HA 15) Nore Catchment Assessment 2010-2015 (HA 15) Catchment Science & Management Unit Environmental Protection Agency December 2018 Version no. 3 Preface This document provides a summary of the characterisation outcomes for the water resources of the Nore Catchment, which have been compiled and assessed by the EPA, with the assistance of local authorities and RPS consultants. The information presented includes status and risk categories of all water bodies, details on protected areas, significant issues, significant pressures, load reduction assessments, recommendations on future investigative assessments, areas for actions and environmental objectives. The characterisation assessments are based on information available to the end of 2015. Additional, more detailed characterisation information is available to public bodies on the EPA WFD Application via the EDEN portal, and more widely on the catchments.ie website. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the situation in the catchment and help inform further action and analysis of appropriate measures and management strategies. This document is supported by, and can be read in conjunction with, a series of other documents which provide explanations of the elements it contains: 1. An explanatory document setting out the full characterisation process, including water body, subcatchment and catchment characterisation. 2. The Final River Basin Management Plan, which can be accessed on: www.catchments.ie. 3.

streams entering tidal water between its confluence with the River Barrow at Ringwood, and the Barrow railway bridge at Drumdowney, Co. Kilkenny, draining a total area of 2,595km². The largest urban centre in the catchment is Kilkenny. The other main urban centres in this catchment are Abbeyleix, Callan and Thomastown. The total population of the catchment is approximately 94,700 with a population density of 37 people per km². The Nore Rises on the north-eastern slopes of Borrisnoe Mountain, from where it runs northeast over an area underlain by a large gravel aquifer and past Borris-in-Ossory. The southern slopes of the Slieve Bloom Mountains are drained by the Tonet, Delour and Mountrath Rivers which join the Nore east and south of Mountrath. The next sizable tributaries that flow into the Nore are the Cappanacloghy River and the Ballyroan River, which drains the area around Abbeyleix. Downstream of this confluence, the River Gully enters the Nore before the Erkina River joins at Durrow. It then flows over a gravel aquifer which follows the course of the river as far downstream as Kilkenny City. The Owveg River joins the Nore north of Ballyragget before the Nuenna River joins from the west near Freshford. Downstream of this, the Dinin River flows into the Nore near Threecastles. On entering Kilkenny City, the Bregagh River and the Brownstown River join the Nore. There is a sparsity of drainage channels in the catchment south of Kilkenny City as the karstified nature of the bedrock in this location means that much of the rain falling in this area infiltrates underground. The next major tributary to join the Nore is the King’s River, which drains the southern side of the Slieve Ardagh Hills. Flowing south in a steep-sided valley, the

  • History and Explanation of the House Crests
    History and Explanation of the House Crests In August 2014, the first team of House student leaders and House Deans created the original House crests. The crests reveal each House’s unique identity, and represent important aspects in the life of Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers. Members of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers founded O’Dea High School in 1923. These crests help keep the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice alive at O’Dea. Edmund Rice founded some of the earliest Christian Brother Schools in County Dublin. By 1907, there were ten Christian Brother school communities throughout the county. Dublin’s crest’s cross is off centered like the shield of St. John. Blue represents the Virgin Mother and yellow represents Christ’s triumph over death on the cross. Dublin’s motto “Trean-Dilis” is Gaelic for “strength and faithfulness.” The dragon represents strength; the Gaelic knot represents brotherhood; the cross represents our faith and religious identity; and the hand over heart represents diversity. County Limerick was home to some of the earliest Christian Brother Schools, beginning in 1816. Limerick’s crest boasts five main symbols. The River Shannon runs through the center. The flame on the crest stands for excellence. The Irish knot symbolizes the brotherhood, exemplified by Limerick’s caring and supportive relationships. The Irish elk, a giant extinct deer, symbolizes both strength and courage. Limerick’s final symbol is a multicolored shamrock representing O’Dea’s four houses. Limerick’s motto is “Strength in Unity.” County Kilkenny is known as the birthplace of Edmund Rice.

    The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book. Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred. The Place-Names of the COUNTY of KILKENNY The Kilkenny Archaeological Society Rothe House K ilk en n y © The Kilkenny Archaeological Society and Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly, 1985. ISBN 0 9501687 8 5 Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society.
