The larger towns of Dundalk and Drogheda are both 20 km away. Knockabbey is only a 10 minute drive from the M1 Motorway and Dublin is within a one hour drive to the city centre. History Knockabbey Castle and gardens reflect the constantly changing fortunes of its owners for more than six centuries. The original dwelling which dates back to 1399 was built for the Bellew Family and then known as Thomastown Castle. It was a simple square tower house; however, reflecting their prestige and position, the Bellews enlarged the Castle in 1650 with a six bay, three storey Queen Anne extension.

  • Rathvilly Waste Water Works – Section C 1 SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant the Wastewater
    SECTION C1 Description of the Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant The wastewater treatment plant in Rathvilly was constructed in 1954 on an inclined site approximately 350m west of the town centre. There is no electricity supply on site. A strip of land to accommodate a new access roadway to the site has recently been purchased by Carlow County Council. This new access roadway is parallel to and near the River Slaney and will provide access to the site from the N81 to the south of Rathvilly Bridge. This access roadway is fenced on both sides, and is provided with gates to facilitate access to surrounding fields by the landowner. The area of the original wastewater treatment plant site is 0.19 ha, and with the recent acquisition by Carlow County Council of adjacent land to accommodate the upgraded plant, the total site area has increased to approximately 0.39 ha. The existing wastewater treatment process comprises a traditional twin percolating filter system with primary treatment upstream in an Imhoff tank and downstream secondary settlement in humus tanks. The treatment system was originally designed to treat the wastewater from a population equivalent of 600 and is now receiving a higher estimated loading corresponding to a population equivalent in excess of 1,000. The system operates entirely on gravity flow and incorporates no pumping or electrical equipment. Raw wastewater from the town discharges to an inlet chamber at the head of the treatment plant via two 225 mm diameter gravity sewers (one from Ballyoliver and the other form the town) and a pumped main from the northern bank of the River For inspection purposes only.

Introduction Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths commenced in Ireland in 1864, though registration of marriages of non‐Roman Catholics was introduced earlier in 1845. The Births, marriages and deaths were registered by geographical areas known as Registration Districts (also known as Superintendent Registrar’s Districts). The boundaries of the registration districts followed the boundaries of the Poor Law Unions created earlier under the 1838 Poor Law Act for the administration of relief to the poor.
