    CHAPTER FIVE W.G.Conolly M.A., LL.D., 1893-1903 DR.CONOLLY’S APPOINTMENT The Board of Governors1, formed under the terms of the Scheme drawn up by the Education Endowment Commissioners, held its first meeting, with Lord Bangor in the Chair, on 4 September 1893. Its first task was the appointment of a Headmaster. There had been a large number of applicants for the post, four of which were short-listed: Dr.Conolly, Mr.Dodds, Mr.Maxwell and Mr.Osborne. Dr.Conolly was chosen by a considerable majority.2 William George Conolly was born in County Sligo in 1868, the son of Patrick Conolly a schoolteacher. He was educated at Coleraine Academical Institution and entered Trinity College Dublin on 11 October 1886, aged 18. He graduated B.A. in the summer of 1891, and LL.B. and LL.D. in the winter of 1893.3 He was also, ‘First High Placeman at Entrance, First Classical Sizar, Double Exhibitioner, Classical Scholar, First Honourman and Placeman, Moderator and Medallist at Degree Examinations’.4 In February 1899, Dr.Conolly told the Intermediate Education (Ireland) Commissioners that he had been Headmaster of ‘Bangor Grammar School’ for five years, and that he had formerly been Assistant Master in Coleraine Academical Institution for five months, and Assistant Master in Foyle College Derry for two years and eight months, which means that he began his teaching career before completing his B.A.5 He remained as Principal in Bangor until August 1903. THE LATE VICTORIAN AGE: BANGOR AND BEYOND On the world stage, science and technology took important steps forward during Dr.Conolly’s time in Bangor.

  • Comments on the Reply to Questions from the Party Concerned
    Word copy of Party’s answers to the Committee’s questions, with the Communicant’s responses in red. Re: Communication to the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee concerning compliance by the United Kingdom in connection with provisions of the convention in relation to settlement lagoons adjacent to the River Faughan (ACCC/C/2013/90) General background 1) Please provide a chronological outline of the planning history of the W & J Chambers site (i.e. the activity/site at issue in this case), including any enforcement action taken against the developer/operator and the outcome of any such enforcement action. Please specifically indicate: (a) All planning permissions granted for this site over the years since the development/activity first began operating on this particular site; (b) The precise nature of the activities carried out on this site over the years; (c) Any current (live) enforcement activity concerning this site. A chronology is set out to the best of the Department’s knowledge at Annex A. Refer to RFA comments at Annex A. See also comments and link below to W&J Chambers website for list of activities. On-site operations Taken from the W&J Chambers website: “the business was initially established to produce concrete blocks, but in recent years has expanded into some new product areas: specifically aggregates, sand, ready to use mortar, pre-mixed concrete and pre-packed sand/gravel. W & J Chambers can now offer a wider range of building and concrete products to an expanding customer base. These new product areas have provided a boost to the company’s sales levels.” http://www.wjchambers.com At a time, the business also stored fertilizers on site – see paragraph 1.2 of RFA TAB3.
