The Waste Water Works and the Activities Carried Out Therein Until the sewer upgrade in 2007 the sewer network served only the eastern part of the combined area and discharged to a septic tank which has an outfall that discharges to the River Sullane. The existing sewers had inadequate capacity and some of the older pipelines had been laid at a relatively flat fall and so could not achieve self cleansing velocities.

Lithologically the Gun Point Formation consists of purple and green medium to coarse-grained and cross- stratified sandstones with interbedded sequences of thin purple siltstones and fine- grained parallel and cross-laminated sandstones (GSI 1997). The Castlehaven Formation conformably overlies the Gun Point Formation in the project area. The formation outcrops only on the south limb of the Macroom Syncline where it is less than 160 m in thickness (Williams et al 1989). The formation is characterised by the purple mudstones and siltstones with interbedded fine grained sandstones. 5.4. Hydrologeology According to the GSI aquifer classification system, the aquifer underlying the Nutricia site and within the surrounding area is classified as locally important (L1) (which is generally moderately productive in local zones) and a Poor aquifer (P1) (which is generally unproductive except in local zones).

  • The Kilmichael Ambush - a Review of Background, Controversies and Effects
    The Kilmichael Ambush - A Review of Background, Controversies and Effects (Seamus Fox – September 2005) On the cold wintry evening of Sunday 28th November 1920, two Crossley tenders, each with nine cadets of the Auxiliary Division of the RIC on board, were travelling from their base in Macroom towards Dunmanway when they were ambushed about 1.5 miles south of the village of Kilmichael, Co Cork by the Flying Column of the 3rd (West) Cork Brigade of the IRA, led by Column Commander Tom Barry. While a number of details remain unclear and many others are disputed, what is clear and undisputed is that by the end of the ambush, nineteen men lay dead. Sixteen of the dead were Auxiliaries and three were IRA men. (For the casualties and details of the personnel – both Auxiliary and IRA involved, see Appendix. Also given in the Appendix is the disposition of the ambushers – the disposition assumes importance when the controversies that arose from the Kilmichael ambush are discussed below.) This essay will look at (1) The background to the ambush (2) The controversies that arose from the ambush and (3) The effects of the ambush. 1.0 Background The Auxiliaries1 arrived in the town of Macroom in early September 1920 (Twohig 1994, pg 126). According to Hart, they arrived in a "district whose police chief declared it to be 'practically in a state of war'. … Almost all the outlying police barracks had been evacuated and burned down … The [British] army had stepped in in May [1920] to try to restore order and found itself embroiled in a vicious little war in the Muskerry hill country west of the town with the Ballyvourney I.R.A.
