Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution.

  • Water Quality - Existing Status & Management System
    Catchment Monitoring Water Quality - Existing Status & Management System Conclusions Lake water quality is in a satisfactory condition in the upper reaches of the River Shannon. Progressive increases in the levels of planktonic development are noted in lakes downstream of the oligotrophic Lough Allen to Lough Ree, and in Lough Key on the Boyle River, attesting to increasing nutrient inputs to the inflowing rivers. While many of these lakes are still classified as mesotrophic (Table 13) they are at the upper boundary limit of this category and if current trends are maintained these lakes will soon be classified as eutrophic. Lough Forbes already has planktonic algal developments consistent with such a category. Lough Ree has been classified as strongly eutrophic in recent years and the findings of the recent monitoring point to a continuation of the decline in the water quality of this lake. The unsatisfactory water quality of a number of rivers in the catchment, noted in 1993-94, still persists and the nutrient loads carried by these rivers support the excessive algal growths recorded in the lake. No improvement in the water quality of Lough Ree can be expected until the sources of the nutrients are significantly reduced or eliminated. Increased light penetration and reduced planktonic algal populations were recorded in Lough Derg in 1997 indicating a considerable improvement in the water quality of the lake, particularly in the middle and lower sections of the lake, compared to previous years (further improvements in these parameters were noted in July 1998). This welcome improvement in water quality in the lake may be attributed to two developments.

    APPENDIX 6: ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES Reference Title Location Description TN020-031---- Bridge BALLYVILLANE, A bridge is mentioned in the Civil Survey of Co. Tipperary, 1654-6 (Simington NENAGH NORTH, 1934, vol. 2, 279). There is now a disused road bridge (Wth 5.1m; L 37.8m; wall WELLINGTON T 0.45m) over the Nenagh River located beside the modern bridge where the approach road to Nenagh town has been straightened. The disused bridge consists of four arches of roughly cut voussoirs set on edge. The two central arches are semicircular with a lower segmental arch flanking either side. Two cutstone pointed breakwaters are visible on the upstream side with evidence that one of the central arches has been altered by the heightening of its arch. There is evidence of lime rendering and shuttering on the underside of the vault along with the widening of the bridge on the downstream side by 1.9m. The bridge was originally c. 3.8m in width. The parapet walls (wall T 0.4-0.45m; H 1m) were constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble capped by crude limestone blocks which in places is capped by a modern concrete addition. TN020-033---- Ritual site - NENAGH NORTH Situated in a slight hollow on the S bank of a river. A stone-faced square-shaped holy well well (dims. 1m x 1m x 0.75m D) with a stream flowing out of the N face into the nearby river. The well is contained within a large concrete wall. It is dedicated to St John whose feast day is the 24th of June and there is a statue of St John over the well.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION in December 2004, Environmental Resources
    1 INTRODUCTION In December 2004, Environmental Resources Management Ireland Limited (“ERM”) in association with ERA-Maptec Ltd was commissioned by North Tipperary County Council to prepare a Landscape Character Assessment of North Tipperary. The objective of the study was to complete a thorough assessment of the character, value and sensitivity of North Tipperary’s landscape in order to provide the basis for policy formulation and informed decision-making regarding landscape management in the County. North Tipperary (shown in Figure 1) contains a variety of landscapes. The extensive upland areas of the County rise dramatically above the fertile limestone plains. These upland zones support a variety of habitats and land uses ranging from blanket bog to coniferous forestry. The geological faults around the Silvermines led to the deposition of metallic deposits that were to be exploited by humans 400 million year later. The low lying pastoral plains provide important communication corridors between the upland zones and the less accessible raised bogs areas in the north and eastern extremities of the county. To the west, Lough Derg and the River Shannon provide further landscape variety within the County and are important recreational, tourism and ecological resources for North Tipperary. As a landlocked county, North Tipperary is bounded by a number of counties with landscape features providing many natural boundaries. For example, the River Shannon and Lough Derg, define the boundary between the counties of Clare, Galway and Offaly. Extensive raised bog defines the eastern boundary with Counties Laois and Kilkenny. The valley between the Silvermines and Slieve Felim mountains offers a further natural boundary with Counties Limerick and South Tipperary.
