Therefore this document reports on the environmental assessment, which was carried out on the Youghal Town Development Plan 2009 - 2015. The report describes the existing baseline environment in the Youghal Town Council area and the scoping exercise carried out. It also looks at the relationship between the proposed plan with other plans and policies and assesses the impact of its objectives and policies and proposes mitigation and monitoring measures. 1.2 Youghal Town Development Plan 2009 – 2015 The creation of this new Development Plan is expected to result in a change of land use in the future and subsequent developments have the potential to impact on the Youghal Town Council area through a number of different criteria such as biodiversity, Population, Human Health, Soils, Surface Water & Wastewater, Traffic & Transport, Waste Management, Cultural Heritage and Landscape & Visual. Therefore this SEA was undertaken in order to outline any potential significant impacts and

PREFACE. 1 HAVE condensed into this little volume a consi- derable part of the local etymologies contained in " The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places." 1 have generally selected those names that are best known through the country, and I have thought it better to arrange them in alpha- betical order. The book has been written in the hope that it may prove useful, and perhaps not uninteresting, to those who are anxious for information on the subject, but who have not the opportunity of perusing the larger volume. Soon after the appearance of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places," I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topo- graphy, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities. I take this opportunity of soliciting further information from those who are able to give it, and who are anxious to assist in the advancement of Irish literature. IRISH LOCAL NAMES EXPLATKED. THE PROCESS OF ANGLICISING. 1. Systematic Changes. Irish prommciation preserved. —In anglicising Irish names, the leading general rule is, that the present forms are derived from the ancient Irish, as they were spoken, not as they were written. Those who first committed them to writing, aimed at preserving the original pronunciation, by representing it as nearly as they were able in English letters.
