Site selection was carried out using the Forest Inventory Planning System 1998 (FIPS) and local knowledge. Surveys comprised the recording of site species lists and information at the site level on topography, management, grazing, natural regeneration, geographical situation, adjacent habitat types, invasive species, dead wood and boundaries. Relevés were recorded in each of the main stand types identified at each site. For each relevé, data were recorded on vascular plant and bryophyte cover abundance, soil type and soil chemistry, notable lichens, stand structure, and natural regeneration. Data were also incorporated from a number of external sources. This resulted in a database with data from 1,320 sites and 1,667 relevés. The relevé dataset was analysed using hierarchical clustering and indicator species analysis. Four major woodland groups were defined: Quercus petraea – Luzula sylvatica (260 relevés), Fraxinus excelsior – Hedera helix (740 relevés), Alnus glutinosa – Filipendula ulmaria (296 relevés) and Betula pubescens – Molinia caerulea (371 relevés). Further analysis of the dataset divided these four groups into twenty-two vegetation types. For each vegetation type a synoptic table of the floristic data was produced, together with a list of key indicator species, a list of example sites, summary environmental and stand structure data and a distribution map.

Tipperary, Commandant Vlll Battalion, 3rd Tipperary Brigade. 1 was a youth of 17 years of age when the Insurrection took place in Easter Week of 1916. I had just finished my school-going days and had commenced to assist my father in his hardware business in my native town of Carrick-on-Suir. There was then no unit of the Irish Volunteers in Carrick-on-Suir.. There were, however, in the town a. few nationally minded people, such as Dr. Murphy, Maurice Hickey and some members of the Dowley families, who had broken away from the Redmond ite Party and the Irish National Volunteers when the split took place in that body a few years before, but, as far as I am no effort was made to establish an aware, Irish Volun6eer company. On the other hand, Carrick-on-Suir held amongst the towns of Ireland the unenviable distinction of, in proportion to its population, giving the second highest percentage of recruits to the British Army.

By far the largest section is that devoted to the legal work of Bartholomew Cliffe, Exchequer Attorney, who resided at New Ross. Many members of the Cliffe family were sovereigns and recorders of New Ross (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, vol. ix, 1889, 312–17.) Besides intermarrying with their cousins, the Vigors, the Cliffe family married members of the Leigh and Tottenham families, these were also prominent in New Ross life (Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland), [op. cit.]. Col Philip Doyne Vigors (1825–1903) was a Vice President of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland.

    DALKEY - Deilginis ‘Thorn Island’ COMMUNITY COUNCIL Irish Heritage Town "Ireland's longest-running voluntary community newsletter" First Published April 1974 NEWSLETTER No 512 (Volume 26) Deireadh Fómhair (October) 2020 Sunrise from Dalkey Hill Photo: Michael Ryan ❖ DaLkEy caSTLE & hERiTagE cENTRE upDaTE ❖ Dalkey castle Tours are back in action and preparing for schools to visit in the autumn. The Newsletter: This month, the article will concentrate on the oldest part of the site here: St. Begnet’s Church and Graveyard. St. Begnet’s church was founded around the 7th century, in common with many Early Christian churches. Originally, the church was a wooden structure but was later rebuilt from stone. The majority of the surviving building is Anglo-Norman and is built with granite. The church served the Catholic community until the Reformation of Henry VIII when there was great upheaval. Over the centuries, it served both Catholic and Protestant congregations. The Church was reported to be ‘ruinous’ by 1630. The parish was united with Monkstown in 1689 and St. Begnet’s fell into disuse. The Nave is the oldest part of the church building. Incorporated into the north wall of the nave are two features which were part of the earlier church. One is a small round-headed window on the interior and the other is a stone with a cross picked into the surface on the exterior. The Twin Belfry dates to the 13th or 14th century. The bellcote contained two bells. Access to the belfry was made by climbing up the outside and the bells were struck by hand.
