One hundred and sixteen people registered for the event, so many An Óige hands were needed to ensure that all went well. For safety reasons also a Red Cross ambulance and Mountain Rescue was on hand in case of an emergency. Initially the temperature of the day was cool and some found themselves shivering as they waited around before the start at 7am. However, after a kilometre or two on the road out to Keadeen mountain temperatures were very comfortable indeed. This year the usual ascent to Ireland's biggest hillfort, Brusselstown Ring, was not on the route so the nearest we got to it was a view from the nearby road.

This percentage of forested land is one of the lowest in Europe. Much of this land is state owned and planted in the ‘50’s however, there has been a considerable increase in afforestion from the private sector since 1989 (Figure 1) Private forestry comprised of 253,088 hectares for 2000. Total new planting for 2000 was 15,695 hectares (13,669ha of conifers and 2,026ha of hardwoods). The private sector planted 14,231ha and the state planted 1,464ha. The Kings River catchment was chosen as a Study Area (SA) because of the overall significance of forestry in the upper Liffey catchments and the limited information available on the effects of commercial forestry activities on a river system. Figure 1: Growth in Forestry Ireland The basic objectives of the study comprised: 1. To define the nutrient export load generated in an active forestry catchment. 2. To examine the effects of commercial forestry operations on water quality. 3. To examine compliance with Forestry and Fisheries Guidelines (Code of Good Practice). The project worked in close co-operation with Coillte in the operational activities that were taking place in the catchment and with the EPA in choosing suitable hydrometric monitoring sites to compliment the water quality sites.

Wicklow 11 May 2019 FINAL REPORT Foreword This safety investigation is exclusively of a technical nature and the Final Report reflects the determination of the AAIU regarding the circumstances of this occurrence and its probable causes. In accordance with the provisions of Annex 131 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Regulation (EU) No 996/20102 and Statutory Instrument No. 460 of 20093, safety investigations are in no case concerned with apportioning blame or liability. They are independent of, separate from and without prejudice to any judicial or administrative proceedings to apportion blame or liability. The sole objective of this safety investigation and Final Report is the prevention of accidents and incidents. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that AAIU Reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the safety investigation nor the reporting process has 1 been undertaken for that purpose.

  • A Catalogue of Irish Pollen Diagrams
    SHORT COMMUNICATION A CATALOGUE OF IRISH POLLEN DIAGRAMS F.J.G. Mitchell, B.S. Stefanini and R. Marchant ABSTRACT The fi rst Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists’ Journal in 1927. Since then over 475 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and time spans. The data from these pollen diagrams can be used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics over long timescales and so facilitate the investigation of climate change impacts, plant migration and the scale of human-induced landscape change. In this paper we collate the available data from Irish pollen sites into the Irish Pollen Site Database (IPOL) to illustrate their distribution and range. It is intended that this database will be a useful research resource for anyone investigating Irish vegetation history. The database also links to the European and global research agenda surrounding impacts of climate change on ecosystems and associated livelihoods. The IPOL database can be accessed online at www.ipol.ie. F.J.G. Mitchell (corresponding author; email: fraser.
