INTRODUCTION Corvus Consulting was commissioned to compile the Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for a site proposed for development at Haggardstown, Blackrock, Co. Louth. Remit & Scope Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive1 establishes an obligation to put concern for potential effects on Natura 2000 sites at the forefront of decision making – assessment pursuant to Article 6(3) must be undertaken for all implicated plans and projects to determine the nature and significance of any impacts which may arise on the integrity of the Natura 2000 network of sites. To this end, a Natura Impact Statement (NIS) must be compiled for all implicated plans and projects. While it is the responsibility of the competent national authorities to undertake the formal assessment, it is the responsibility of the project proponent to collate and provide all of the necessary information, in a Natura Impact Statement (NIS). It is the function of this report to provide the required information and thereby assist the competent authority in the completion of formal Appropriate Assessment. The NIS represents the final stage in the iterative, pre-application design and assessment process. Summary Conclusions The NIS in Section 4 demonstrates, on the basis of precautionary, objective scientific assessment, that the development proposals can be consented without causing significant adverse effects on the integrity of Dundalk Bay SAC or Dundalk Bay SPA. Assessment has demonstrated that the required measures to avoid, mitigate and otherwise reduce the significance of adverse impacts on the integrity of the Natura 2000 sites are technically feasible and attach a high level of confidence in implementation and success. The proposed development will not interfere with any key relationships or elements within the environment which define and control the structure and function of any Natura 2000 sites and will not result in significant adverse impacts on the integrity of the Natura 2000 network or any associated/underlying designations. Personnel Assessment has been conducted by Mr Gareth Grindle B.Sc. (Hons.) M.Sc. L.L.M. M.I.Env.Sc. M.C.I.E.E.M., who has compiled the NIS and is the primary author of this report. Mr Grindle a Director of Corvus Environmental Consulting Ltd. He holds an Honours degree in Environmental Science (B.Sc. (Hons.), University of Stirling, 2000), a Master of Science in Environmental Change (M.Sc., King’s College, London 2001) and a Master of Laws in Environmental Law (L.L.M., Queen’s University, Belfast 2014). He has over 15 years’ professional experience in the public, private and voluntary sectors and is a full member of both the Chartered Institute of Ecology & Environmental Management (M.C.I.E.E.M.) and the Institution of Environmental Sciences (M.I.Env.Sc.), organisations requiring peer-review for membership and a high standard of professional conduct. 1 Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora EIAR Appendix 4.3: Natura Impact Statement (NIS): Haggardstown, Blackrock, Co.

  • 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.

  • Chief Executive's Summary, Response and Recommendation
    Section 2: Chief Executive’s Summary, Response and Recommendation on Zoning Submissions – Introduction DRAFT LOUTH COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2021-2027 Zoning Submissions Overview In considering zoning submissions as part of the preparation of the Chief Executive’s Report, particular regard was given to the provisions of national planning policy objectives contained within Project Ireland 2040, National Planning Framework and the provisions of the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly and indeed the overarching strategic objectives of the draft Louth County Development Plan. The National Planning Framework sets out national planning objectives for building stronger regions, and for planning growth in our settlements in a compact and sustainable manner. National Policy Objective 3a seeks to deliver at least 40% of all new homes nationally within the built-up footprint of existing settlements and National Policy Objective 3c seeks to deliver at least 30% of all new homes that are targeted in settlements other than the five Cities and their suburbs, within their existing built-up footprints. The national strategic outcomes of such policies are to secure a more sustainable future for settlements and for communities. This is a key tenet of the draft Louth County Development Plan. National Policy Objective 9 also limits the population growth of settlements save for Drogheda and Dundalk to 30% and this is a key consideration when assessing availability of zoned lands already identified in the draft Plan vis-a-vis the introduction of new residential zonings in settlements. The RSES sets out a growth strategy for the region.

From the agriculturally-based economy of the 1900s the country was embracing industrialisation by I960.1 Dundalk was the leading provincial industrial town in Ireland over that period. This thesis sets out examines the effect successive British and Irish government economic and social policies had on the population of the town. It looks at population trends, industry, work, living conditions, class structure, education, housing, family, community and interdenominational relationships and the influence of the Roman Catholic clergy on their congregation. It also examines, at urban, county and national levels, the political and military upheavals from 1916 through to World War II, when the domination of Civil War politics began to wane. Advances in technology, from horse to bicycle to motor car, broadened the scope of social interaction.
