North Kerry public will have chance to ask questions on local water quality at upcoming meeting
The event has been organised by the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), which works on behalf of Ireland's local authorities to protect and restore good water quality in rivers, lakes and estuaries, ground and coastal water.
LAWPRO experts will take attendees through the work that has been carried out through its River Basin Management Plan and what is being planned for the future in Listowel Municipal District.
Those in attendance will have opportunities to ask questions and talk to members of the Agricultural Sustainability Support and Advisory Programme and the LAWPRO Farming for Water European Innovation Partnership project team.
Ahead of the public meeting, Anthony Coleman, director of services with LAWPRO, said that his organisation would like to take the opportunity to welcome members of the public to come and find out more about what is happening in their local waterbodies and river catchments.
'We hope to engage as many people as possible at this meeting in Kerry because public participation and support is key to achieving water quality improvements,' Mr Coleman said.
'We would also like to thank all those whether in a voluntary or paid capacity, working in their local areas to help make a difference to their natural waters and the biodiversity that live in and around them.'
The information meeting will take place from 7pm to 9.30pm at Kerry Writer's Museum on June 10.

Water quality of Wexford's rivers discussed at special meeting – ‘We can do a lot better'
Representatives from the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) provided an update on the work they are carrying out under the Water Action Plan which is part of the EU Water Framework Directive. There was also information on new farming initiatives, including the €60 million Farming for WaterEIP, Tiran's Slaney Farming for Water and the Teagasc Better Farming for Water initiative. Chaired by Frank Burke, Climate Action Coordinator with WCC, the meeting featured a presentation from Eoin Kinsella, executive scientist with WCC, who outlined the work being carried out by his team, from agricultural inspections to managing litter on the blue flag beaches. Discussing the Bann catchment area, Dr Fran Igoe of LAWPRO said: 'The glass is only half full when it comes to water quality in Wexford and we can do a lot better. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that the River Bann is a significant contributor of nitrates to the Slaney, and that combined with the other tributaries amounts to high nitrate loading to the Slaney. "This needs to be addressed as EPA monitoring shows there is an excessive nitrate impact on the estuary and Wexford Harbour. Clean water is important for Wexford's tourism, shellfish production and maintaining the health of the River Slaney generally. Most of the River Bann is also important for salmon and trout spawning and the water quality needs improvement.' Tirlán chairperson John Murphy spoke about its commitment as a dairy processor to improving water quality in the area with their Slaney Farming for Water Project, which aims to encourage farmers to install measures funded through the Farming for WaterEIP and Tiran's own suitability programme. Cathy Lee of the Friends of the Ahare River Biodiversity and Development Group, provided examples of the activities the group have carried out in the area, including biodiversity signage along the river, school visits to the river and family fun days at the Cloon beach. Ross Finlay project officer with the Slaney Rivers Trust spoke about its objective to improve salmon stocks in the Slaney and plans for further community engagement. The Slaney Rivers Trust is working with Inland Fisheries Ireland on the new barrier removal programme.

‘We didn't think it needed that much work': What it's really like to rework one of the oldest cottages in Dublin 18
Asking price: €450,000 Agent: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 2866630 Mechanical engineer David Coleman possesses skills he isn't afraid to apply apply at home, tackling DIY jobs most of us would only fantasise about doing, before looking up the number of a real tradesman to carry them out. Coleman has applied the solutions-based approach of his profession to get the most out of any space. But he came right up against it when he and his wife Rachel acquired one of the oldest houses in Dublin's Shankill. Hillview Cottage on Lower Road seems to date from the mid-19th century although it may have even older origins. 'The papers are confusing and it appears to have been part of another house next door at one point. "The cottage pre-dates the main street of the village which only arrived with the railway. It is one of the oldest houses in Shankill.' When the Colemans moved in to Hillview Cottageback in 2019, David decided to take a little bit of time out from his career and get stuck in. 'I took three months to get the house sorted out. We moved in for a month, but then we had to move out again after I started gutting the place,' he says. 'We didn't think it needed that much work, but we ended up doing a ton once we lifted the floorboards in the front room.' ADVERTISEMENT His challenge was to make the very most of just over 624sq ft. 'I kind of enjoy doing this stuff and I used to work on building sites when I was younger,' he says. 'So I was never afraid to kind of get my hands dirty. We had to damp-proof the place and put in double glazing.' Coleman also stripped the plaster off the gable wall on the outside, and when he saw what was underneath – Dalkey quarry granite – he decided to leave it as a feature. In the bedroom is traditional wall-panelling behind the bed that he did himself. The bathroom, meanwhile, already had 'old stuff', a bath with solid brass taps and shower rail from the 1940s or 50s that was already in situ. 'The house was lived in by an architect in the 1990s and he salvaged the bathroom fittings and put them in, but it wasn't incredibly well done. It was leaking and the floor was rotten, so we had to take everything out and re-seal it. But it all works very well.' In the living room, the stand for the TV was originally a trunk that came from a Cunard liner. Meanwhile there's a hanging sliding door into the kitchen which is a rescue piece. He says: ' We were in Mac's Warehouse salvage yard over in Kilmainham buying cast iron radiators and I spotted the door and thought it was interesting. There is a step up to the kitchen, so I hung it on a rail there.' Coleman added downlighters to the timber-panelled ceiling in the main living room and built the bar in the kitchen, as well as expanding the kitchen storage itself. The kitchen, which was added in the 1990s, has a rustic tiled floor. Though the Colemans arrived as a couple, they soon had two new arrivals – son Kai (6) and two-year-old Chiara. He took advantage of the high ceilings in the second bedroom, building a loft bed for Kai, with storage underneath the stair – so he has his own space, while his sister would sleep in her cot below. There are 50mm of warm board in the walls, double glazing, gas-fired central heating and a wood-burning stove inset into the living room fireplace. 'It's a small house,' Coleman says,' 'But the rooms are well-proportioned so you can have quite a few people over but they are not squished in.' When the extension was added the 1990s, an old back window was retained and now allows dappled light into the kids' bedroom thanks to stained glass. Set back from the village, Hillview Cottage is hidden away at the end of Lower Road ten minutes' walk from the Dart station and close to Brady's Bar and a number of supermarkets. Outside is a courtyard with paving, a raised deck and flower beds, plus a storage unit, build by David. The front door leads straight into the living room with its lofted, timber ceiling and recess lights. The main bedroom is off to the right and also has a high ceiling, timber floors and a sash window. An inner hall on the other side of the living room leads to the bathroom, which has a tiled floor and a freestanding claw foot bath. The kids bedroom is beside this, next to the kitchen dining room, which has a granite worktop, a custom-built bar and integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. David is from Bray originally and Rachel is from Dalkey, so Shankill was a convenient compromise. Next level accommodation may be a challenge in the south Dublin area if they are to get the space they require for their growing family. 'I have loved living here,' says Rachel. 'This house has been so special, located literally between the hills and the sea. Once we close the front gate it is so peaceful and lovely, yet we have absolutely everything we need within walking distance.' 'If it had another bedroom and a garden we would stay put. It is going to be hard to find somewhere,' adds David. Meantime SherryFitzGerald is seeking offers in the region of €445,000.

Government advised to set up slurry register
The Government has been advised to set up a slurry register, similar to the National Fertiliser Database already in place. Since last year, farmers who want to purchase fertiliser must register on the database, which records all fertiliser movements. After the fertiliser spreading season, farmers must report their closing stocks of fertiliser. There are similar record-keeping requirements for agri-merchants, including every consignment of fertiliser going to a farmer. Now, a report to the Government recommends it be used as a template for a wider organic fertiliser database. This arises from the 2022–2025 Nitrates Action Programme published by the Departments of Local Government and Agriculture, which required a review of sludges and biosolids applied to land, to be carried out by the National Technical Implementation Group (NTIG), which oversees implementation of the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP). While the initial review focus of an NTIG working group was on sludges, it became apparent to the group that a wide range of other organic fertilisers is applied to land, and it was agreed to extend their review to include other organic fertilisers. Now, its report says local authorities have difficulty enforcing regulations for land-spreading sludges and organic fertilisers, due to "the lack of timely information sharing". Hence, the working group's recommendation to develop a national register and database for sludges, biosolids, and other organic fertilisers spread on farmland. According to the report: "In the absence of a single national register for all land-spreading, there are gaps in chains of custody, which is problematic in terms of tracking loads being applied to lands from multiple sources, creating a risk of accumulation of contaminants, or a higher loss of nutrients locally. "The absence of a single database or formal process for data-sharing also creates potential for farms or individual fields to receive repeat or excessive loads from multiple sources, which could have a potential negative impact on water quality, and creates difficulties when responding to or investigating complaints. "The tracking and verification of movements requires simple and timely data-sharing amongst all relevant authorities. The need for a centralised organic fertiliser database was discussed by the working group. The new DAFM National Fertilisconer Database for tracking the movement of chemical fertilisers has proven to be successful and could act as a template for a wider organic fertiliser database."A national register and database should "include all steps in the chain, including primary producers, contractors, and importing farms". "It was agreed the DAFM would be best placed to develop this national register/database". But any solutions for the tracking and verification of land spreading "must not be overly burdensome". The NTIG working group also recommended training for local authority inspections should include reviewing and approving of Nutrient Management Plans. "It is imperative that local authorities are adequately resourced to undertake inspections and monitoring of land-spreading locations. An inspection regime to verify land-spreading locations should be incorporated into the local authority and DAFM GAP inspections". According to the report, of all the nitrogen that goes onto land, 57% comes from livestock manure, 38% from chemical fertiliser, and 5% from sewage and other sludges. The report says the new 2025 four-day notification period for movement of farmyard/livestock manures and slurries between farm holdings needs to be improved, for sharing of data with local authorities regarding the generator, contractor, and the receiving farm, and regarding compliance with Good Agricultural Practice. Recommendations were also made for the sewage and other sludges which supply 5% of the nitrogen that goes onto land. The main forms include sewage sludge from urban wastewater treatment plants, sludge from domestic wastewater treatment systems, pig slurry and poultry litter from EPA-licenced installations, anaerobic digestate, industrial wastewater sludges, dissolved air flotation sludge, paunch (organic waste from meat processing), manure from bedding, lairage slurry, dairy sludges, sludge from fish processors, spent mushroom compost, food waste compost, wash water, and contaminated milk. Already, farmers must keep a record of sludges, biosolids and other organic fertilisers imported onto their farms. Their use is controlled by local authorities through registers, inspection, and enforcement. Use of sewage-derived products is prohibited on Bord Bia Sustainable Beef & Lamb Assurance Scheme certified farms. However, local authorities say there is no way for them to check if a farm is Bord Bia-approved. Now, the NTIG working group has recommended closer contact between local authority environment sections with Uisce Éireann, the EPA, and Bord Bia. The Irish Grain Assurance Scheme Code of Practice also excludes grain grown on land treated with organic municipal and industrial material/sludges. The NTIG working group said recycling of sludges to land could be economically favourable for circularity of waste streams. But they may contain contaminants such as metals, pathogens, chemicals (including pesticides), microplastics and medicinal residues. Land spreading concentrated on a small number of farms may pose a more significant risk to individual water bodies. A national assessment of sewage sludge on farm was suggested, in the context of hazardous substances. It was noted some EU member states have more stringent national controls, and they dispose of sewage sludge via alternative routes, such as incineration or landfill. In Ireland, Uisce Éireann relies solely on land-spreading for disposal of biosolids from its plants. With volumes projected to increase, and only a small number of registered farms available, there is increasing pressure on the land bank, storage facilities, and receiving catchments. The impact on sludge storage capacity must be considered, because timing of land spreading is critical in order to minimise nutrient losses to water, with land-spreading on tillage land in the autumn presenting a higher risk. The working group recommended farmer training on use of sludge and other organic fertilisers, and that regulation ensure farmers receive only sludge that is beneficial to agriculture, with the nutrients stated, which does not exceed acceptable limits of contaminants or pathogens. The NTIG Sludges, Biosolids and other Organic Fertilisers working group had representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency; the Department of Agriculture; Department of Environment; Department of Local Government; Uisce Éireann; Local Authority Waters Programme; Food Safety Authority of Ireland; the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland; and the county councils of Kildare, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, and Roscommon.
