Bathing Water Details: Map 1: Bathing Water Location & Extent Bathing Water location and Bunmahon beach is located on the south coast of Ireland in county Waterford 25 km east of between extent: Dungarvan town. The beach is immediately west of the mouth of the River Mahon and it lies within the coastal body of the South East River Basin district. The designated bathing area is approximately 500 metres long and 100 metres wide (at low tide). Main features of the Bathing Type of Bathing Water: Bunmahon is a sandy beach with a gentle slope down to the low water mark and Water: variable slope below the low water mark. Currents can be very variable with sometimes challenging conditions for swimmers. The advice of lifeguards and locals should be asked for newcomers to the beach. Flora/Fauna, Riparian Zone: There is an interesting area of dunes on the road side of the beach with associated marine dune flora (plants) and fauna (animals). Above the cliffs areas of heath, improved grassland, unimproved wet and dry grassland, and woodland occur. On the beach low tide gives access to rock pools towards the western end of the beach which are home to a variety of plants and animals such as shrimp, crabs, small fish and anenomies. Water Depth: Water depth is generally shallow but underwater and beach channels can form due to the variable currents so water users should be cautious. Tidal Range: The tidal range is medium and approximately 75% of the 100 metres wide beach is covered at high tide. Sensitive Area: Bunmahon Beach lies along a spectacular stretch of coastline known as the “Copper Coast”. The whole coast displays a series of geologically important volcanic and sedimentary phenomena illustrating ancient geological developments. Copper minerals and associated mineworkings occur in several places. The United Nations Economic Social and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has recognised the south coast of the county between Garrarus and Ballyvoyle Head as a GeoPark; one of a network of European sites of exceptional geological interest . The coastal area is also a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the E.U. Birds Directive, of special conservation interest for the following species: Chough, Peregrine, Cormorant and Herring Gull. Sea cliffs are the predominant habitats for these birds. The coastal area is also a proposed natural heritage area pNHA, which confers habitat protection. Beach user numbers: The average number of visitors to the beach is approximately 75, with an estimated maximum of 300 on some days in high season. Given its expanses, the beach does not get overcrowded. Lifeguards are present at the beach during July and August. Activities available at the In addition to swimming, surfing and kayaking are popular activities at Bunmahon. There are also many Bathing Water: interesting sights within walking distance of the beach to explore, such as the geological park, the spectacular coastal scenery and the old mining features.

The bathing water is tested at least every 30 days. In the table posted at the beach and on the council and EPA Beaches website you can see when the water has been analysed and how many bacteria were found. A small number of bacteria tell you that the water is very clean - a high number of bacteria tell you that the water may be polluted and could contain bacteria from sewage. Statistical analysis of the past four years' results is used to determine the classification for the following year -GOOD, SUFFICIENT or POOR. The latest water classification at Bunmahon for 2017 was SUFFICIENT. 3.

Waterford SURVEY OF PRE-1923 COUNTY WATERFORD INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Waterford County Council, supported by the Heritage Council, commissioned Dublin Civic Trust in July 2007 to compile an inventory of the extant pre-1923 industrial heritage structures within Waterford County. This inventory excludes Waterford City from the perimeters of study, as it is not within the jurisdiction of Waterford County Council. This survey comes from a specific objective in the Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006 – 2011, Section 1.1.17 which requests “…a database (sic) the industrial and engineering heritage of County Waterford”. The aim of the report, as discussed with Waterford County Council, is not only to record an inventory of industrial archaeological heritage but to contextualise its significance. It was also anticipated that recommendations be made as to the future re-use of such heritage assets and any unexplored areas be highlighted. Mary Teehan buildings archaeologist, and Ronan Olwill conservation planner, for Dublin Civic Trust, Nicki Matthews conservation architect and Daniel Noonan consultant archaeologist were the project team.

THE FATES OF THE TANKARDSTOWN MINERS: SOME EXAMPLES by Des Cowman Abstract: As Tankardstown was developed in the early 1850s there is evidence that famine and pre-famine emigration con- tinued regardless of employment opportunities. Economic factors greatly influenced accelerating departure rates through the 1860s and 1870s. The fates of only a tiny proportion of those who left can be sketched without knowing whether they were exceptional or the norm. Finally the fate of a few of those who tried to stay in the area is suggested. Journal of the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, 5, 2005, 47-52.

My parents were farmers and I, too, have been a farmer all my life. Since I was a young chap of sixteen years of age, I was always interested in Gaelic football and hurling, so I joined the local G.A.A. club and played with the boys until I got too old to play in competitions. I still take a great interest in Gaelic games. About the year l9l4 when a Company of the National. Volunteers formedin this district, I joined up along with a crowd of the local lads. Our O.C. was a man named Michael Veale (deceased) and a man called Norris was Secretary of the Company. We had practically no arms or ammunition, only one rifle, a shotgun or two and a few .22 rifles. This Company was known as the Dunhill Company. When the split in the Volunteers came only James Norris and myself stood by the Irish Volunteers. We had no idea what was happening in Easter, 1916, so we took no part in the Rising. I re-formed the Dunhill Company after the 1916 Rising, with myself as Captain and a man named Billy Burns as second in command.

William, the 4th Duke of Devonshire (1720-1764) married Lady Charlotte Boyle (1731-1754), heiress of the 3rd Earl of Burlington and through this marriage the Irish estate mainly situated in counties Waterford and Cork became part of the estates of the Dukes of Devonshire. The Irish estates were administered from Lismore Castle, Lismore, County Waterford by agents living and working from Lismore Castle and responsible for all the Irish estates of the Dukes of Devonshire with a sub-agent located in Bandon to administer the lands and properties located in the areas surrounding Bandon in county Cork. The seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is Chatsworth in Derbyshire, England. The Dukes visited Lismore on occasion, in particular, to hunt and fish but were not permanent residents of Lismore Castle. Instead, the estate was administered by agents who were closely supervised by the Dukes of Devonshire through a series of detailed and, in some cases, daily, correspondence. During the period covered by these papers there were a number of holders of the title of Duke of Devonshire who held the Lismore estates. William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire (1748-1811) who married Lady Georgiana Spencer; William Spencer Cavendish, the 6th Duke (1790-1858), 2 Lismore Castle Papers known as the “Bachelor Duke”, who extensively remodeled Lismore Castle.
