Written Answers 1 July 2014 Written Answers. The following are questions tabled by Members for written response and the ministerial replies as received on the day from the Departments [unrevised]. Questions Nos. 1 to 8, inclusive, answered orally. Questions Nos. 9 to 60, inclusive, resubmitted. Questions Nos. 61 to 67, inclusive, answered orally. 01/07/2014WRA00600Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries 01/07/2014WRA0070068. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he will provide an update on his plans to set up a commission of investigation into mother and baby homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28014/14] 01/07/2014WRA00800Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy Charles Flanagan): The Government has undertaken to establish a Commission of Investigation into concerns regarding conditions and related practices in Mother and Baby Homes. I have also publicly confirmed that the in- tended scope of this investigation will go beyond the home operated by the Sisters of Bon Sec- ours in Tuam, Co. Galway and these announcements have been widely welcomed. I wish to acknowledge the constructive contribution of Government Deputies and opposi- tion spokespersons with whom I have met in recent days. I look forward to continuing engage- ment across the House with a view to achieving all-party consensus as the necessary arrange- ments are finalised. I have also met with representatives of a number of key advocacy groups and Church lead- ers, including the Adoption Rights Alliance, First Mothers Group, Bethany Homes Survivors Group, Cúnamh, Adoption Loss and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. I also hope to meet with Archbishop Jackson at his earliest availability. The submissions made to me during these constructive discussions, together with those received through my Department’s dedicated e-mail facility, will feed into the process. I am confident that this inclusive approach in the essential scoping phase will assist in establishing an inquiry which is capable of effectively addressing these important matters in a sensitive and timely manner. I am consulting with Government colleagues in relation to the detailed approach to the Commission. We have been well served by the output of the Cross Departmental Review Com- mittee which concluded its output by the due date of the 30th June. In parallel I intend continu- ing engagement with Opposition spokespersons so that they too have an input into the process. I can assure the House that I am committed to taking the most appropriate approach to 105 Questions - Written Answers establish the truth in respect of these deeply tragic and disturbing events. It is my intention to bring a resolution before both Houses before the summer recess to facilitate the making of an order to formally establish the Commission. 01/07/2014WRA00900Bullying of Children 01/07/2014WRA0100069. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the ex- tent to which his Department is in a position to respond to concerns arising from cyber or other forms of bullying inside or outside the school environment; if he is satisfied regarding the extent to which victims can have access to support services at an early stage; if child psychiatric ser- vices are readily accessible or available in such circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27993/14] 01/07/2014WRA01100Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy Charles Flanagan): As Minister for Children & Youth Affairs, I am committed to working with colleagues in Government to ensure that integrated policy responses to combat bullying are high on our agenda. I do not have spe- cific legislative responsibilities in this area. Where a crime may have been committed it falls to An Garda Siochana to investigate. The Department of Justice and Equality also has respon- sibility for the Office for Internet Safety which takes a lead responsibility for internet safety in Ireland, particularly as it relates to children. The Action Plan on Bullying is being led by the Department of Education and Skills. Na- tional anti-bullying procedures place a requirement on schools to record, investigate and ad- dress incidences of bullying and cyber-bullying, both in and out of school. The procedures highlight the need for parents and young people to understand how to protect themselves at home, in school, or in the community. The Minister for Communications Energy & Natural Resources recently published the Re- port of the Internet Content Governance Advisory Group and announced the establishment of an implementation group to be chaired by his Department to oversee consideration of the re- port’s recommendations including on issues to do with bullying and harassment on line. There are a range of support services in place to support children and young people who are coping with bullying situations. Webwise.ie , a Department of Education and Skills initiative, provides information for parents and teachers about the risks involved and how to protect chil- dren against cyber-bullying. Many of the youth services, funded by my Department, provide services to address bullying issues, increase awareness about internet safety and social media and to promote young people’s wellbeing. Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children provides that serious incidents of bullying should be reported to the Child and Family Agency. Following assessment and where required, appropriate support will be put in place. In addition to support for the family and the child which can be provided by the Child and Family Agency in relation to serious incidents, there are also a range of services provided by the HSE, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health services which may be relevant depending on the nature of the condition being experienced by a child. Services provided by the HSE fall within the remit of the Minister for Health. I can assure the Deputy that my Government colleagues and I are actively engaged in ad- dressing the issues raised, as is evident in the Action Plan for Bullying and the very recently launched Report of the Internet Content Governance Advisory Group. 106 1 July 2014 01/07/2014WRA01200Child Care Services Funding 01/07/2014WRA0130070. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs his plans to reinstate the 2009 cuts to the early childcare supplement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28006/14] 01/07/2014WRA01400Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy Charles Flanagan): The Early Child- care Supplement was introduced in April 2006 to assist parents with the costs of caring for children in their pre-school years. Due to the need to reduce public expenditure, a number of reductions were made to the Early Childcare Supplement from 2009 and the then Government took a decision to abolish the Early Childcare Supplement with effect from the 31st December 2009. At its peak the payment cost €480 million in 2008. Some of the funding previously avail- able to support the provision of the Early Childcare Supplement was re-directed to provide for the Early Childhood Care and Education programme, or free pre-school year, at an annual cost of €175 million. The redirection of resources to this more targeted and child-centred policy is in line with the generally held principle that pre-primary education is a key determinant of student performance at all levels of education as it leads to improvements in motivation and the propensity to learn, which in turn raises the social and private returns from all future investments in their education. It also addressed the general criticism of the Early Childcare Supplement that it directed re- sources away from a more targeted and beneficial investment in early years care and education, in particular in the form of pre-school education. While I believe the last Government missed a great opportunity to re-direct more money from the Early Childcare Supplement into promoting greater quality and accessibility for early childhood care and education, this Government has no plans to re-introduce the Early Childcare Supplement. Even if such funding was available from the Exchequer, its re-introduction would not be a good use of resources which would yield much greater benefits if used to directly sup- port quality early years services. This Government has made a very significant commitment in maintaining the pre-school year on a universal and free basis despite the current budgetary situation. The Early Child- hood Care and Education programme, which represents an investment of almost €175 million annually, is funded by my Department through the provision of capitation grants paid directly to participating services. It is a fundamental principle of the programme that the pre-school provision is available to parents free of charge. In the region of 68,000 children benefit from the free pre-school provision each year. There is significant international evidence of the benefits for children’s outcomes of the pro- vision of quality education and childcare in the earliest years. The provision of targeted funding to support specific early years childcare programmes is considered the best option for the use of the available resources and the Government will continue to fund these programme with an emphasis on improving the quality of the services provided. 01/07/2014WRA01500Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries 01/07/2014WRA0160071. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if the Magdalen laundries and Bethany homes including Ovoca House, Westbank Orphanage and the Church of Ireland Magdalen home, Leeson Street will be included in the terms of reference of the statutory inquiry into mother and babies homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27897/14] 107 Questions - Written Answers 01/07/2014WRA01700Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (Deputy Charles Flanagan): The Government has undertaken to establish a Commission of Investigation into the disturbing revelations on conditions and related matters in Mother and Baby Homes.

  • In Association with 4 HUMAN BEINGS This Section of the Environmental
    Bandon River (Bandon) Drainage Scheme in association with 4 HUMAN BEINGS 4.1 INTRODUCTION This section of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) describes the potential impacts of the proposed Bandon Flood Relief Scheme (FRS) on human beings and has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out by the Environmental Protection Agency in ‘Guidelines on Information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements’ (EPA, 2000). One of the principle concerns in the development process is that people, as individuals or communities, should experience no diminution in their quality of life from the direct or indirect impacts arising from the construction and operation of a development or project. Ultimately, all the impacts of a development impinge on human beings, directly and indirectly, positively and negatively. The key issues examined in this section of the EIS include population, employment and economic activity, land-use, residential amenity, facilities and services, tourism, and health and safety. Reference is also made, in this chapter, to nuisance impacts on human beings that are dealt with in other sections of this EIS such as flooding from Chapter 7 - Hydrology and Hydrogeology; dust and noise from Chapter 8 - Air and Climate; and traffic from Chapter 11 - Material Assets. 4.2 METHODOLOGY The following sources of information and literature pertinent to the area were utilised in the preparation of this section: • Interim Bandon Electoral Area Local Area Plan, August 2011 • Cork County Development Plan, 2009; Cork Area Strategic Plan (Update) 2008 • Regional Planning Guidelines for the South West Region 2010 • Census of Ireland2002, 2006 (www.cso.ie) • Preliminary 2011 Census Data (www.cso.ie) • Cork County Council Website • Local Websites www.bandon.ie and www.mytown.ie • The economic impact of salmon angling in the SW of Ireland.

This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 License A Treasury of Resources Eamon Maher and Paul Butler John McGahern: His Time and His Places John McGahern was a writer who always demonstrated a keen sense of place. Readers of his fiction inevitably note strong similarities between the figures and landscapes it evokes and the people and places the writer knew in real life. He was acutely aware of how important it was to write from personal knowledge, from everyday experience, in order to capture the beauty that can be found in the ordinary experiences of people going about their daily lives in small rural communities, mostly located in the Leitrim/Roscommon area where McGahern spent the majority of his life. His characters and settings are at times painfully real, whether it be the stoical Elizabeth Reegan in The Barracks (1963), who, on the threshold of a painful death from cancer, really “sees” the beauty of nature for the first time; or the uncertain groping towards adulthood of young Mahoney in The Dark (1965); the tyrannical actions of the patriarch Moran in Amongst Women (1990); or the unrelenting womanizing John Quinn in That They May Face the Rising Sun (2002).

  • 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.
