SUMMARY Following the invitation to tender from the Office of Public Works, dated 8th February 2010 and the submission of a Tender proposal on 19th February 2010, TOBIN Consulting Engineers in association with Royal Haskoning Ireland, were commissioned on 10th March 2010 to undertake a Study to : “Identify Measures to address flooding on the Dunkellin River from Craughwell to Kilcolgan to include the Aggard Stream and its tributaries up to Cregaclare”. Following on from this study, Tobin Consulting Engineers in association with Royal Haskoning have proposed a costed package of flood remediation works along the Dunkellin River and the Aggard Stream to Cregaclare, which will accommodate the 100 Year Flood, with an allowance for climate change. These works are based on a developed hydraulic model of the Dunkellin River and the Aggard Stream, which includes the various bridge structures, culverts, and other hydraulic controls, and which has been used to test the proposed measures, in two Strategic Schemes, against the expected benefits of including these measures in the overall package of works. The Report describes the catchment topography, and the channel profile, from the headwaters, through Craughwell, into the Rahasane/Rinn Turlough system, and downstream to the sea at Kilcolgan. It recognises the karstic nature of the limestone bedrock, and draws upon previous work in describing its impact on Rahasane Turlough in particular. The flood events of January 2005 and November 2009 are described, to define the extent of flood damage, traffic and

The proposed school would be serviced by an on-site wastewater treatment facility with percolation area etc. 1.2 The Board will be aware that a permission was granted, upheld on appeal for a primary (“Educate Together”) school complex elsewhere in Kilcolgan, earlier this year. Applicants state in correspondence, on the current file, that the current proposal is being put forward separately from any Educate Together proposal. 1.3 The temporary permission conditioned by the Planning Authority is in response to the submission of the applicant seeking only a temporary permission. Clarification on the purpose of the temporary permission was sought and offered in “further information” at planning application stage. 1.4 I have read the file and visited the site and can now report as set down below.

  • Forest Perspectives Seeing the Woods for the Trees: the History Of
    IRISH FORESTRY 2015, VOL. 72 Forest Perspectives ________________________ Seeing the woods for the trees: the history of woodlands and wood use revealed from archaeological excavations in the Irish Midlands Ellen OCarrolla* and Fraser J.G. Mitchella Keywords: Archaeology, charcoal, pollen, wood usage, woodland change. Introduction Wood has always been a key raw material in the manufacture of furniture, tools, containers and nearly all everyday items (O’Sullivan 1994). Wood and its byproduct charcoal, have been used as fuel for everyday use in Ireland in the past and have been extremely important raw materials both economically and culturally up to recent times. Consequently, the catchment area of woodlands surrounding a settlement were often exploited and managed in the past to provide essential raw materials for a community (Stuijts 2005). The study described herein aimed to reconstruct past woodland landscapes of the midlands region, as well as the anthropogenic exploitation patterns of these woodlands. Reconstructions were based on the analysis of charcoal and wood samples from archaeological excavations which were dated from the Neolithic period (5,000 years ago) to later Medieval times. Pollen cores sampled from close to the archaeological excavations were also analysed and provided complementary proxy information that helped build a picture of the past woodland history of the midlands. Study area The construction of the M6 road improvement scheme, stretching for 64 km from Kinnegad to Athlone across Counties Offaly and Westmeath, provided an opportunity to piece together the origins and species of charcoal remains. Consequently charcoal, pollen and wood from archaeological excavations were used as proxies to reconstruct the vegetation type that existed at that time (Figure 1).

The mound was composed of laminated deposits of burnt stone. Charcoal and animal bone was recovered from the monument. Radiocarbon dating shows that the fulacht fiadh had its origin in two burnt stone spreads deposited in the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. After a hiatus of c. 1000 years, the body of the mound developed in the 12th to 9th centuries BC.
