Location Main Quay, Cheekpoint, County Waterford. Planning Authority Waterford City and County Council Planning Authority Reg. Ref. 20217 Applicant(s) Cheekpoint Boat Owners Ass. Type of Application Permission Planning Authority Decision Grant with conditions Type of Appeal Third Party Appellant(s) 1. Sean Doherty 2. Pat Moran Observer(s) None Date of Site Inspection 25th of March 2021 Inspector Caryn Coogan ABP-309266-21 Inspector’s Report Page 1 of 26 1.0 Site Location and Description 1.1 The site is located in Cheekpoint Harbour which is located within the Lower Suir Estuary on the southern bank of the River Suir in Co. Waterford. Cheekpoint is a coastal village, located east of Waterford City, at the confluence of the River Barrow and the River Suir. The village commands scenic views of Waterford Harbour. On the opposite side of the river along the north banks there is the Great island Power station in Co. Wexford. 1.2 The built heritage of the Harbour, consists of elements of the late 18th Century harbour such as the small stone pier and low quay walls, a row of 18th Century renovated single storey fisherman’s cottages, Daisybank House (1765) and the Mount (1750). The harbour/ pier is L-shaped. 1.3 Cheekpoint Harbour is prone to silting. In 1995 a series of groynes were built 200metres out in the river to divert the Cheekpoint Bar, which was a mudbank impeding large vessels traveling up the river, which resulted in Checkpoint silting up and now Waterford Port has to regularly dredge the river in the vicinity of Cheekpoint to ensure access to the quay.

  • A Case Study of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland
    POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Jessica E. Greenwald August 2005 This thesis entitled POWER IN PLACE-NAMES: A CASE STUDY OF PRESENT DAY WATERFORD COUNTY, IRELAND by JESSICA E. GREENWALD has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences GREENWALD, JESSICA E. M.A. August 2005. Geography PowerU In Place-Names: A Case Study Of Present Day Waterford County, Ireland (85U pp.) Director of Thesis: Timothy Anderson This study investigates the present day toponymns of Waterford County, Ireland. By using the Land Ordnance Survey of Ireland maps, a database was created with the place names of the county. This study draws upon both traditional and contemporary theories and methods in Geography to understand more fully the meaning behind the place names on a map. In the “traditional” sense, it focuses on investigating changes in the landscape wrought by humans through both time and space (the naming of places). In a more “contemporary” sense, it seeks to understand the power relationships and social struggles reflected in the naming of places and the geography of those names. As such, this study fills a void in the current toponymns and cartographic literature, which are both focused mainly on patterns of diffusion and power struggles in North America.

Cork, 1917 -; 0/C. Waterford Flying Column; Waterford Battalion Commandant. Subject. Waterford City Battalion, 1918-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S2337 Form B.S.M.2 2. The Waterford Volunteers found themselves unable to cope with the hooliganism and rowdyism of the Redmondite gangs, the latter being composed mainly of ex-British soldiers and their wives plus the famous pig-buyers from Ballybricken, Waterford. It was impossible for the Sinn Féin election workers to do their job under the protection of the local Volunteers who were too few in number to protect them from assault by the followers of Redmond, so it was decided to call in the aid of Volunteers from other counties. About twenty of us came to Waterford by train from Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, a day Or so before polling day. Some of us were quartered in premises owned by Pierce Durand (himself a Volunteer) in Parnell St. and some in the Volunteer Hall situated in Thomas St., Waterford. We slept on stretchers and were provided with food by members of the Cumann na. mBan. Our duties in Waterford consisted mainly of guarding the polling booths on the polling day for fear of any interference of the poll by the Redmondite gangs. We stayed Waterfordin for two or three days, returning then by train to Fermoy. In October 1918 I left Fermoy and came to Waterford City as an assistant in the drapery firm of Robertson, Ledlie, Ferguson & Co.

I was born in the year 1897, at Crobally, Od Parish, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. My parents belonged to the farming community. From my earliest days I was associated with the Gaelic Athletic Association in my native place and, when the Irish National Volunteer movement was started about the year 1914, I joined the local company. There were about 25 men or there- abouts in the company, but, to the best of my recollection, we had no guns of any kind. Our drill Instructors were mostly ex-British army soldiers and the 'rifles' used in' training were woodeb 'dummy' rifles. The so-called Nationi Volunteers were under the control of John Redmond, then leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party in the British flouse of Commons. When the split in the Volunteer movement cam, as a result of Redmond's offering of the Volunteers to help the British Government in the 1914-18 war, myself and about six or eight others broke away tom the Redmondite Volunteer movement and affiliated with the Irish Volunteers.
