Attachment E.2 River Rye Monitoring the Water Quality of the River Water Attachment E.2 River Rye Monitoring The water quality of the river water was monitored on the basis of the Irish standard S.1 294 of 1989, taken from the EC (Quality of Surface Water Intended for the Abstraction of Drinking Water) Regulations, 1989. These Regulations categorise surface water as Al, A2 or A3, depending on the suitability for the abstraction of surface water for drinking water. Al requires very little treatment and A3 would require more treatment. All reported parameters for each monitoring point are within the limits set out for surface waters in categories Al, A2 and A3. The results obtained for this monitoring event are indicative of a good quality surface water environment. It is noted that the quality of the surface waters sampled from the River Rye are broadly similar both upstream and downstream of the Intel Ireland Site, indicating the surface water discharges from this site have no significant impact on its quality.

The survey incorporates a physical, chemical and biological assessment of the river. The methods employed are outlined again for completeness in the ‘Materials & Methods’ section. They have remained consistent from year to year thus allowing true comparisons to be made with the data. The extent of the ecological information now available on the Rye is invaluable and any changes in the ecology of the river will thus be apparent. This report was compiled by AQUENS and commissioned by Intel Ireland Ltd. It is the eleventh report, presenting findings of the 2004 annual limnological survey of the Rye Water.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF LANDS IN THE TOWNLANDS OF COMMONS WEST, BOYCETOWN AND KILCOCK (ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING BRAYTON PARK ESTATE), KILCOCK, COUNTY KILDARE ON BEHALF OF: RYCROFT HOMES LIMITED CASE REF.: ABP-302746-18 AUTHOR: ROSS WATERS DECEMBER 2019 IAC PROJECT REF.: J3417 Kilcock SHD, Archaeological Assessment Co. Kildare DOCUMENT CONTROL SHEET DATE DOCUMENT TITLE REV. PREPARED BY REVIEWED BY APPROVED BY Archaeological Assessment of 16.12.19 1 Ross Waters Grace Corbett Faith Bailey Kilcock SHD Co. Kildare i IRISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSULTANCY LTD Kilcock SHD, Archaeological Assessment Co. Kildare ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Rycroft Homes Limited, to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed strategic housing development at lands in the townlands of Commons West, Boycetown and Kilcock (adjacent to the existing Brayton Park estate), Kilcock, County Kildare (ITM 687736/739821). The report was undertaken by Ross Waters of IAC Ltd. There are no recorded monuments within the proposed development, the closest is a bawn (KD005-019) situated c. 440m to the southwest. The Pale ditch is thought to have traversed the landscape to the south, west and northwest of the town of Kilcock. Although its route is unconfirmed, there is potential that it may have crossed the north east side of the site. The only archaeological discovery from previous investigations in the surrounding area was of two pits, one of which contained burnt bone, c. 285m to the north. The proposed development lay across a series of open fields throughout the post-medieval period, situated in a rural landscape on the periphery of Kilcock.

  • 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.
