D. Loading Operations D. Loading Operations D.1 Purpose of the Operation The Port of Waterford Company was originally known as Waterford Harbour Commissioners and was established in 1816. In 1999, the organisation was incorporated as the Port of Waterford Company, and now operates in the commercial semi-state sector in Ireland, reporting to the Department of Transport. Since its foundation, the organisation has played a vital role in the development of the city and the region. In the 1990's, commercial shipping operations moved to Belview, some 5 miles downstream of Waterford City, and closer to the sea. The Port now offer facilities for bulk and breakbulk, liquid bulk and container cargoes and is the closest Irish multi-modal port to continental Europe. The River Suir catchment, which comprises dry mineral soils, is subjected to varying degrees of runoff and soil erosion. In the lower reaches of the river there are vast quantities of sediment being eroded, held in suspension and deposited through the ebb and flood tides in the estuary. Thus when a channel is deepened by dredging there is an immediate and natural response as sedimentation takes place to restore equilibrium. These high spots, river and tidal deposits bring the bed levels of the navigation channel and berths above the advertised depths, which gives rise to repeated requirement for dredging in order to maintain the required minimum depths. The navigation channel into Waterford Port has for the most part good water depths but there are sand bars at Duncannon and Cheekpoint that restrict navigation into the Port. These, in conjunction with the berths at Belview, are the primary dredging areas and require dredging at least twice a year Reference Attachment D.1). Maintenance of the navigation channel through these bars is essential to maintain and improve the competitiveness and efficiency of the Port. A disposal at sea permit is required to allow for the regular disposal of the maintenance dredged material from the navigation access channels and berths within the Port’s harbour limits. Maintenance dredging ensures the safe navigation of trade, commercial and recreational vessels in the area. © Anthony D Bates Partnership LLP 27 | P a g e Attachment D.1: Port of Waterford Register of Loads Dumped at Sea 2006-2012 © Anthony D Bates Partnership LLP 28 | P a g e Port of Waterford Register of Loads Dumped at Sea 2006 -2012 Register of Loads Dumped at Sea 2012 Cheekpoint Belview Duncannon Great Island Dates Total Lower Bar Berths Bar Power Station February 9th -

    Inspector’s Report ABP-309266-21 Development To construct a wheelchair accessible ramp access with entrance gate and associated works to access proposed pontoon facility. (An NIS included.) Location Main Quay, Cheekpoint, County Waterford. Planning Authority Waterford City and County Council Planning Authority Reg. Ref. 20217 Applicant(s) Cheekpoint Boat Owners Ass. Type of Application Permission Planning Authority Decision Grant with conditions Type of Appeal Third Party Appellant(s) 1. Sean Doherty 2. Pat Moran Observer(s) None Date of Site Inspection 25th of March 2021 Inspector Caryn Coogan ABP-309266-21 Inspector’s Report Page 1 of 26 1.0 Site Location and Description 1.1 The site is located in Cheekpoint Harbour which is located within the Lower Suir Estuary on the southern bank of the River Suir in Co. Waterford. Cheekpoint is a coastal village, located east of Waterford City, at the confluence of the River Barrow and the River Suir. The village commands scenic views of Waterford Harbour. On the opposite side of the river along the north banks there is the Great island Power station in Co. Wexford. 1.2 The built heritage of the Harbour, consists of elements of the late 18th Century harbour such as the small stone pier and low quay walls, a row of 18th Century renovated single storey fisherman’s cottages, Daisybank House (1765) and the Mount (1750). The harbour/ pier is L-shaped. 1.3 Cheekpoint Harbour is prone to silting. In 1995 a series of groynes were built 200metres out in the river to divert the Cheekpoint Bar, which was a mudbank impeding large vessels traveling up the river, which resulted in Checkpoint silting up and now Waterford Port has to regularly dredge the river in the vicinity of Cheekpoint to ensure access to the quay.

  • Archaeological Evidence for the Different Expressions of Scandinavian Settlement in Ireland, 840-1100
    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS OF SCANDINAVIAN SETTLEMENT IN IRELAND, 840-1100 Patrick F. Wallace nstead of speculating on what exactly the Irish chroniclers who described the Imid-ninth-century Scandinavian fortresses in Ireland äs longpbuirt (literally 'ship fortresses') meant by the term, it is intended here merely to provide an overview of the archaeological evidence äs it presently exists for the different types of Scandinavian- inspired settlements which existed in Viking Age Ireland. Best understood and most enduring are the towm of Dublin, Waterford, Limerick and Wexford. In their developed form in the tenth-, eleventh- and early twelfth-century Hiberno-Norse phase, these consisted of large defended settlements at the tidal conflu- ences of main rivers and their tributaries. They were located on high ground traversed by ascending streets which, together with laneways and intramural accesses, formed irregulär rather than gridded networks. Boundary fences radiated from the streets forming rows of contiguous rectangular or trapezoid plots into which settlements were divided. The archaeological record preserves rieh evidence for the buildings and layout of plots particularly at Dublin, Waterford and Wexford äs well äs at Cork where recent excavations have unearthed what had hitherto been regarded äs urban houses of Hiberno-Norse type in an indigenous urban settlement of the later eleventh- and early twelfth-century period. It appears that access through individual plots was controlled. Main buildings had their narrow ends to streets or laneways, had pathways leading to the entrances and from back entrances to lesser outbuildings and sheds in the yards at the back of the plots.

  • A Case Study of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland
    POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jessica E. Greenwald August 2005 This thesis entitled POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND by JESSICA E. GREENWALD has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences GREENWALD, JESSICA E. M.A. August 2005. Geography PowerU In Place-Names: A Case Study Of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland (85U pp.) Director of Thesis: Timothy Anderson This study investigates the present day toponymns of Waterford County, Ireland. By using the Land Ordnance Survey of Ireland maps, a database was created with the place names of the county. This study draws upon both traditional and contemporary theories and methods in Geography to understand more fully the meaning behind the place names on a map. In the “traditional” sense, it focuses on investigating changes in the landscape wrought by humans through both time and space (the naming of places). In a more “contemporary” sense, it seeks to understand the power relationships and social struggles reflected in the naming of places and the geography of those names. As such, this study fills a void in the current toponymns and cartographic literature, which are both focused mainly on patterns of diffusion and power struggles in North America.

  • Bureau of Military History, 1913-21. Statement By
    BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 1,020 Witness Jeremiah Cronin, 32, The Glen Waterford. Identity. Member of Irish VOlunteers, Fermoy, Co. Cork, 1917 -; 0/C. Waterford Flying Column; Waterford Battalion Commandant. Subject. Waterford City Battalion, 1918-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S2337 Form B.S.M.2 2. The Waterford Volunteers found themselves unable to cope with the hooliganism and rowdyism of the Redmondite gangs, the latter being composed mainly of ex-British soldiers and their wives plus the famous pig-buyers from Ballybricken, Waterford. It was impossible for the Sinn Féin election workers to do their job under the protection of the local Volunteers who were too few in number to protect them from assault by the followers of Redmond, so it was decided to call in the aid of Volunteers from other counties. About twenty of us came to Waterford by train from Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, a day Or so before polling day. Some of us were quartered in premises owned by Pierce Durand (himself a Volunteer) in Parnell St. and some in the Volunteer Hall situated in Thomas St., Waterford. We slept on stretchers and were provided with food by members of the Cumann na. mBan. Our duties in Waterford consisted mainly of guarding the polling booths on the polling day for fear of any interference of the poll by the Redmondite gangs. We stayed Waterfordin for two or three days, returning then by train to Fermoy. In October 1918 I left Fermoy and came to Waterford City as an assistant in the drapery firm of Robertson, Ledlie, Ferguson & Co.
