Ireland's Ancient East Three-Day Itinerary from Cork Ireland’s Ancient East three-day Itinerary from Cork Ireland’s Ancient East – your own immersive journey of discovery of 5,000 years of Europe’s history. Starting in Cork, one of Europe’s great trading cities for over 1,000 years, this tour explores the rich diversity of Ireland’s Ancient East. Explore the pathways of Medieval Ireland, from Viking Waterford – Ireland’s oldest city – to the iconic Rock of Cashel, which looms dramatically above a rolling green landscape. This is where ancient Gaelic kings chose as their throne and which was later transformed into one of Ireland’s greatest monastic sites. Villages along the way host festivals of food, culture and heritage throughout the year and are the jumping off points of tours of all kind - on foot or on horseback, by car, boat or barge. Let your imagination take flight amongst the walls of our castles and historic abbeys which await your discovery around every bend. You will leave not only refreshed but illuminated by these many ancient wonders and the stories of how they came to this rich land and how Irish life today has been shaped by their immensely powerful influence.

  • Proposed Littleton Wind Farm Introduction
    April 2021 Naturally Driven Proposed Littleton Wind Farm Introduction Bord na Móna is an iconic commercial semi-state company that was established almost 90 years ago to develop Ireland’s peat resources for the economic benefit of Ireland and to enhance security of energy supply. In recent times, the business has gone through radical change, announcing the new “Brown to Green” strategy, moving away from peat, and focusing on renewable energy, recycling, and peatland rehabilitation operations. A key objective of this strategy involves using the land to continue to underpin Ireland’s energy independence by developing green, sustainable energy sources to assist with Ireland’s commitment to achieve 70% renewable electricity by 2030. Bord na Móna is committed to investing to deliver low carbon energy solutions in Ireland, thereby continuing its pivotal role in contributing to the State’s energy security. To achieve this Bord na Móna will significantly increase its existing renewable energy asset base beyond the current installed capacity of almost 400 MW. The company has been a leader in the Irish renewables sector for some time, having been involved in the development of Ireland’s first ever commercial wind farm on its Bellacorick Bog in Co Mayo in 1992. As part of the company’s Brown to Green Strategy, Bord na Móna has identified Littleton Bog Group as having the potential for the development of a wind farm. November Photo Competition Winner Philomena Brady 2 The Proposed Development - Littleton Wind Farm The Development Study Area (as shown in Figure 1 below) for the proposed wind farm is part of the Littleton Bog Group located in County Tipperary.
