Dear Sir or Madam, I refer to our letter of 26thOctober , 2010 regarding Waste Water Discharge License application for Kilmacthomas , Co. Waterford, and submit hereunder additional information. (1) We have assessed the likelihood of significant effects of the waste water discharges from the agglomeration on the relevant European sites by referring to Circular L8/08, issued by Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and have concluded that there will be no significant effects and it is therefore not necessary according to L8/08 to assess the impacts. /… F:Groups:Sanitary:Maread:TBourke:Letters10 EPA Export 27-07-2013:00:19:29 -2- I attach hereunder a screening flow diagram adapted from Circular L8/08:- Kilmacthomas WWD Screening Flow Diagram.

Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. I attach herewith the relevant section of part of our Draft County Development Plan 2011 to 2017 dealing with the Habitats Directive, which mentions the Seven Villages Sewerage Scheme of which Kilmacthomas forms part. I also attach herewith a document prepared in 2005 for the proposed W.W.T.P. for Kilmacthomas titled “Determination whether Kilmacthomas Sewerage Scheme would or would not be likely to have significant effects on the environment”. The River Clodiagh SAC is at least 8 km. away and is a different water body with no interconnection. The Commeragh Mountain SAC is at least 6 km. away and up gradient and no adverse affects are envisaged . The Coastal Zone SPA is at least 9 km. away and no adverse affects are envisaged.

Waterford SURVEY OF PRE-1923 COUNTY WATERFORD INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Waterford County Council, supported by the Heritage Council, commissioned Dublin Civic Trust in July 2007 to compile an inventory of the extant pre-1923 industrial heritage structures within Waterford County. This inventory excludes Waterford City from the perimeters of study, as it is not within the jurisdiction of Waterford County Council. This survey comes from a specific objective in the Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006 – 2011, Section 1.1.17 which requests “…a database (sic) the industrial and engineering heritage of County Waterford”. The aim of the report, as discussed with Waterford County Council, is not only to record an inventory of industrial archaeological heritage but to contextualise its significance. It was also anticipated that recommendations be made as to the future re-use of such heritage assets and any unexplored areas be highlighted. Mary Teehan buildings archaeologist, and Ronan Olwill conservation planner, for Dublin Civic Trust, Nicki Matthews conservation architect and Daniel Noonan consultant archaeologist were the project team.

THE FATES OF THE TANKARDSTOWN MINERS: SOME EXAMPLES by Des Cowman Abstract: As Tankardstown was developed in the early 1850s there is evidence that famine and pre-famine emigration con- tinued regardless of employment opportunities. Economic factors greatly influenced accelerating departure rates through the 1860s and 1870s. The fates of only a tiny proportion of those who left can be sketched without knowing whether they were exceptional or the norm. Finally the fate of a few of those who tried to stay in the area is suggested. Journal of the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, 5, 2005, 47-52.

My parents were farmers and I, too, have been a farmer all my life. Since I was a young chap of sixteen years of age, I was always interested in Gaelic football and hurling, so I joined the local G.A.A. club and played with the boys until I got too old to play in competitions. I still take a great interest in Gaelic games. About the year l9l4 when a Company of the National. Volunteers formedin this district, I joined up along with a crowd of the local lads. Our O.C. was a man named Michael Veale (deceased) and a man called Norris was Secretary of the Company. We had practically no arms or ammunition, only one rifle, a shotgun or two and a few .22 rifles. This Company was known as the Dunhill Company. When the split in the Volunteers came only James Norris and myself stood by the Irish Volunteers. We had no idea what was happening in Easter, 1916, so we took no part in the Rising. I re-formed the Dunhill Company after the 1916 Rising, with myself as Captain and a man named Billy Burns as second in command.

  • 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.

While “The Code” is primarily aimed at the sports club environment, the guidelines below may also be useful for parents to apply to other sporting activities their children participate in. Parents/Guardians have the primary responsibility for the care and welfare of young people. As such there are a number of steps you can take to ensure a fun and safe sporting environment for children. 1. Examine the role you can play to enhance the quality of your child’s involvement in sport. Encourage your child to: ¾ Put in their best effort – have a go ¾ Improve their skills ¾ Make friends ¾ Play by the rules ¾ Appreciate/accept everyone in the group, regardless of ability, race, religion, gender etc.
