Introduction This report relates the results of an underwater archaeological impact assessment (UAIA) of a proposed outfall pipe in Ballycotton Harbour, Co. Cork. The report comprises an addendum to the Archaeological Screening Assessment (ASA) of Ballycotton Sewage Scheme by Tobar Archaeological Services (2018) and should be read in conjunction with it. Furthermore, for brevity sake and the avoidance of unnecessary repetition, this study does not include an in- depth archaeological and historical background of the wider cultural heritage background as it was already comprehensively included in the screening report. 2. Scope of Assessment The assessment explores the archaeological context of Ballycotton Bay and investigates the character, significance and sensitivity of its archaeological heritage. The aim of the assessment was to determine the significance of the known archaeology, identify previously unrecorded archaeology on the seabed/foreshore, to assess the potential for impacting previously unrecorded archaeology during the proposed construction works and to recommend mitigation measures to minimise negative impacts on any archaeological remains. 2.1 Desktop study • The Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) compiled by the Archaeological Survey of Ireland comprises lists, classifications of monuments and maps of all recorded monuments with known locations and zones of archaeological significance. The monument records are accessible online from the National Monuments Section (NMS) of the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht (DAHG) at www.archaeology.ie. These were used to establish the wider archaeological context of the site. • OSI: Ordnance Survey Ireland historic and contemporary maps were examined to measure the changing landscape of the river bank and the development of the village. • The Excavations Bulletin online database (www.excavations.ie) which contains summaries of all archaeological excavations in Ireland, was consulted to review archaeological investigations done previously in the area. • Wreck Inventory of Ireland Database (WIID) and Wreck Viewer: The information contained within the inventory was gathered from a broad range of cartographic, archaeological and documentary sources, and each entry in the Inventory gives information on the ship’s name, type of vessel, port of origin, owner’s name, cargo, date of loss and other relevant information where available. The Record of Piers and Harbours is a draft unpublished document compiled by the DAHG. It draws on various historical sources dealing with historical piers and harbour development in Ireland. • Cartography: Several historic maps and charts were examined (see references below for a full list). • Aerial Photography: A variety of low and high altitude aerial photography was examined (see references below for full list). 3 • Documentary sources: Several sources were examined. For a full list of all sources examined see Bibliography below2.2 Site Inspection. Site Inspection The site of the proposed outfall was inspected during July and again in August 2018. A visual inspection (wade) survey in tandem with a handheld metal detection survey was undertaken in the proposed outfall area. Any features of potential archaeological significance were recorded including scaled drawings, written and photographic record. 3. Constraints and Technical Difficulties The metal detection survey was slightly hampered by the presence of moored vessels as well as a buried linear ferrous object running close to and parallel to the pier. No detailed drawings or description of the proposed development was available during the preparation of this report. The initial survey undertaken in July 2018 was impeded by the presence of a dense carpet of sea-lettuce which had accumulated at the south-eastern corner of the harbour and

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • D16---Cloyne.Pdf
    Representative Church Body Library, Dublin D 16 Records of the diocese of Cloyne. 1634-1934 A miscellaneous collection of loose papers and a few bound volumes, relating to the diocese of Cloyne, from the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth century. This includes eighteenth-century visitations and rural deanery returns; as well as many items relating to the administration of the diocese, c. 1634 - 1934. Much of the early material relates to the achievements of a succession of bishops (including George Synge, Edward Synge, William Pallister, John Pooley and Charles Crow), in regaining control lands belonging to the diocese of Cloyne, which had been unlawfully granted out of diocesan control to the Fitzgeralds and other families, by a fee-farm lease, dated 1575. The wide range of miscellaneous material in the collection includes an unusual book of oaths, which records oaths sworn by new incumbents and lay officers 1675-1717, and a rare astrological chart. The collection also contains material relating to the Archer, Purdon, Hanby, Uniacke, Barry, Longfield and related families, of counties Cork and Dublin, as well as routine diocesan business.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
