The Daingean model (Model 1) is comprised of several reaches that have been designated as HPW and MPW. The HPWs are located within a close proximity to the western edge of the Daingean AFA boundary and include the Ballyowen, Daingean Town Park and Kilcrow Rivers. These watercourses flow in a generally easterly direction, draining into the Ballyowen River near the western edge of the AFA boundary. The Ballyowen River continues through the Daingean AFA where it meets the Philipstown River. The HPW section of the Philipstown River generally flows along the southern and eastern edge of the AFA, and is joined by the Daingean Town Centre River and the Town River, both of which are located within the AFA. The Philipstown River continues downstream for approximately 2km until its confluence with the River Figile. The separately modelled River Slate (Rathangan Model 2) also enters the River Figile a further 11.5km (approx.) downstream. The River Figile continues to flow until its confluence with the Black River. Approximately 34km downstream from Daingean the Black River meets the River Barrow just outside the separately modelled Monasterevin (Model 7). The contributing catchment of Model 1 is 622 km2 and it is predominantly rural (1.7% urbanised). The downstream limit of this model is at HEP 14_1820_25_RPS. The Daingean model has one gauging station located on the River Figile just downstream of its confluence with the Philipstown River (14004, Clonbulloge). This station has been listed for Rating Review, the results of this exercise are summarised in Section 4.5.5 (4)(b) of this report. The Clonbulloge gauging station has an FSU classification of A1 and therefore has a reliable rating up to approximately 1.3 x Qmed which is 20.2 m3/s based on 53 years of data up to 2009. A rating review was undertaken at station 14004 as part of the Study which did not indicate any uncertainty in the rating at the Qmed value (see HA15 Hydrology Report). Two other gauging stations associated with Daingean include Clonarrow (14037) and Ardra (14017). Further details regarding gauging stations are located in Section 4.5.5 (a) and (c). The gauged Qmed value at Station 14004 was then used to adjust FSU catchment descriptor based estimates of Qmed at each HEP within Model 1 as appropriate. The HEP representing the Slate River tributary used Station 14011 as its pivotal station as it is located on the Slate River itself. Rainfall run-off models (NAM) have been developed of the contributing catchments to selected gauging IBE0601Rp0017 4.5 - 1 F02 South Eastern CFRAM Study HA14 Hydraulics Report – DRAFT FINAL stations throughout HA14 in order to simulate longer AMAX series and increase confidence in the Qmed where required. These NAM models were calibrated against the low to mid range continuous flow traces at each gauging station where corresponding gauge-adjusted radar-based hourly rainfall sums (or gauge data with high temporal resolution) for the catchment are available. Using the adjusted radar-based rainfall sums, and observed rainfall sums from surrounding rain gauges, a continuous flow trace was simulated, generally for the period 1954 to 2010. All the rivers that have been included in this model have been modelled as 1D and 2D using MIKE11 and MIKE21. The 1D and 2D hydrodynamic models were then integrated into one modelling system using MIKE FLOOD.

Figure 4.5.2 shows the AFA extent. The figures illustrate that the Daingean model contains six HEP upstream limits. There are three gauging stations associated with the Daingean model - Clonarrow (14037), Ardra (14017) and Clonbulloge (14004). These are discussed in more detail in Section 4.5.5(4). There are nine point sources in the BND file relating to HEP tributaries and a total of six HEP check flow points (including the gauge 14004_RPS).

Buildings within the Daingean AFA are illustrated in black and are also represented as land value 300 m. This method allows for the provision of more realistic flood levels and overland flow routes throughout the grid. It should be noted that IBE0601Rp0017 4.5 - 5 F02 South Eastern CFRAM Study HA14 Hydraulics Report – DRAFT FINAL this image depicts a rectangular model grid. Therefore, there will be a slight off-set between the spatial extent of the actual building and its model representation; this is discussed in greater detail in Section 3.3.2 of this report. The grey area within this grid represents the land value of 300m, - land values were applied to this 2D surface to reduce model run times. Figure 4.5.4 shows an overview of the model schematisation for Daingean, demonstrating the surveyed cross-section locations, AFA boundary, river centreline and the area covered by the 2D model domain. Figure 4.5.5 and Figure 4.5.6 show more detailed views of the areas where there is the most significant risk of flooding and include the surveyed cross-section locations, AFA boundary and river centreline.

Offaly (Figure 10-1). The assessment was undertaken on behalf of Malachy Walsh and Partners, (MWP) and forms a constituent element of a wider Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) with regard to a planning application to construct the proposed development. The proposed development consists of a 110kV substation and grid connection, refer to Chapter 2 Description of Proposed Development for full details. The assessment is a combination of desk-based research and the results of field walking to identify areas of archaeological / historic architectural / and wider cultural significance, likely to be impacted by the proposed substation. A description of the potential impacts is presented, and a number of mitigation measures are recommended where appropriate. Figure 10-1: Kilcumber Bridge 110kV substation location. 10.2 SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT 10.2.1 General This assessment report essentially comprises of three main parts viz: - (1) desk-based research of a 1.5 km radius study area encompassing the proposed development; (2) archaeological inspection of the location site of the proposed development; (3) mitigation of archaeological and wider cultural heritage impacts. 10.2.2 Statement on Limitations and Difficulties Encountered No particular difficulties were encountered in preparing the assessment.

  • Some Precursors of Bord Na Mona
    132 Some Precursors Of Bord Na Mona By C. S. ANDREWS, B. Coram.. Managing Director of Bord na Mona. (Bead before the Society on 30th April, 1954.) In 1740 William King wrote " We live in an island almost infamous of bogs, and yet, I do not remember, that anyone has attempted much concerning them ; I believe it may be of use to consider their origin ; their conveniencies and inconveniencies ; and how they may be remedy'd or made useful." More than 100 years afterwards J. McCarty Meadows wrote " The fact that we are without coal upon a nationally useful scale and that in its place we have such vast supplies of peat in this country, should stimulate us to the conviction that, in the allotted order of things, the duty assigned to us is that of turning to account the supplies of native fuel so abundantly provided for our use. If coal is not won from its depths without outlays and labours, gigantic in proportion to other industries, can we expect to win our fuel from the moor and bog without giving to it some industrial efforts and attention ? " Another century has passed and yet in 1954 there are still hundreds of thousands of acres of unutilised boglands in the country. Between, before and after King and Meadows many men characterised by abundance of public spirit contributed thought, effort and enthusiasm to the solving of the problem of Ireland's deserts. Their endeavours were dissipated in the unpropitious social, economic and political climate of their times. It is by way of homage to these men that this communication is offered to your Society from those who, living in more enlightened times, have the privilege of beginning the task of turning to profitable use some of the country's waste lands.

    Draft Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (October 2013) Draft Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment October 2013 Page | 2 Draft Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 1. Introduction Flooding is a natural process that can happen at any time in a wide variety of locations. Flooding has significant impacts on human activities; it can threaten people’s lives, their property and the environment. Assets at risk can include housing, transport and public service infrastructure, commercial, industrial and agricultural enterprises. The health, social, economic and environmental impacts of flooding can be significant and have a wide community impact. Understanding flood risk is a key step in managing the impacts of flooding. Spatial Planning has a significant role to play with respect to flood risk management, in particular in ensuring that future development needs avoid or minimise future increases in flood risk. The ‘Planning System and Flood Risk Management’ Guidelines for Planning Authorities issued in November 2009 reinforce the responsibility of Planning Authorities to ensure that flood risk is managed effectively and sustainably as an integral part of the planning process balancing socio-economic needs, environment, and infrastructure and flood risk. As part of the management of flood risk, the guidelines, published jointly by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (DoEHLG) and the Office of Public Works (OPW) set out the requirement for Planning Authorities to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) examining the risks of flooding in order to aid in making informed and sound planning decisions such as the zoning of particular areas for development or the development of land for particular uses.
