Subcatchment Assessment WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Colligan-Mahon Subcatchment MONLOUM_SC_010 Code 17_2 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 07 Jan 2019 1 Generated by WFD Application Assessment Purpose This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the second cycle of Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies, and with support from RPS consultants. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. They are based on information available to the end of 2015 but may be subject to change until the final 2018-21 river basin management plan is published. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues Two of the seven water bodies in subcatchment 17_2, Belle Lake and Leperstown Stream_010, are at Moderate and Poor status (2010-2015) respectively and are deemed to be AT RISK. In the case of Bell Lake elevated Total Phosphorus concentrations are driving the Moderate ecological status while in Leperstown Stream_010 Poor invertebrate status is the driver of the historically Poor ecological status. Agriculture is the significant pressure on both Belle Lake and Leperstown Stream_010. The remaining five water bodies in this subcatchment are unassigned and unmonitored river water bodies, Monloum_010, Ballygunnermore_010, Ballymabin_010, Knockacurrin_010 and Cooltegin_010, the potential significant pressures include agriculture and urban diffuse and these water bodies have been placed in REVIEW.

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.

    Suir Catchment Assessment 2010-2015 (HA 16) 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 Suir 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. A published paper on Source Load Apportionment Modelling, which can be accessed at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3318/bioe.2016.22 4.

  • C7 Viking-Activity-In-Ireland-By-County
    1 A COUNTY BY COUNTY REFERENCE LIST FOR VIKING ACTIVITIES IN IRELAND AS DESCRIBED IN THE ANNALS The following list is a preliminary attempt by Lenore Fischer to put together a geographical reference for events involving Vikings that happened in specific areas. Given the resources for onomastic research in Ireland, there are many place names which have still to be identified with a degree of certainty so this is merely intended as a basic introduction. For further reading on these issues, see C. Etchingham, Viking raids on Irish church settlements in the ninth century : a reconsideration of the annals (Maynooth 1996) – especially the Appendix and Clare Downham, “The Vikings in Southern Uí Néill to 1014”, Peritia 17-18 (2003-2004) 233-55. The following is essentially a list organised by county and its focus are Scandinavian activities outside the main urban enclaves. The evidence for the Viking settlements of Dublin, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford has been omitted as making the attached file too large to be of use. As Ireland’s larger lakes border on several counties, it was found more convenient to place them separately at the end. A list of abbreviations for the sources used will also be found there. Co. Antrim (see also L. Neagh listed separately at the end) Coleraine 932 Airmedach, superior of Coleraine killed by Vikings (AU, AFM 930). Connor, 970 either sacked by Vikings or else inhabited by Vikings and sacked by Irish (AU, AFM 968). Dal Riata coast, 986, three shiploads of Vikings attacked this area but were defeated, and 7 score hanged or sold into slavery (AU, AFM 985).
