Went for a walk in Julianstown tonight and here's what I noticed.

  • Trucks tailgating cars
  • Trucks and cars speeding
  • Litter
  • When you walk throuh Ballygarth Manor many of the houses lights come on automatically

Irish Times Article - Indaver applies to increase size of its incinerator:

Plans for massive capacity and size increase of Duleek incinerator!
Original planning permission
Anti Incineration Campaign

"The company also plans to increase the size of the plant from 35 metres to 45 metres and the stack from 45 metres to 65 metres. The new stack would not be visible from the megalithic Newgrange site and 'nothing would be visible other than the tip of the stack' from the site at Dowth, according to project manager Jackie Keaney. 'The facility will be operated to EU directive and EPA licence limits, ensuring that there will be no negative impact on public health or the environment. The layout of the facility will be redesigned and relocated towards the back of the site to mitigate visual impact.'"

Recieved the following email regarding a rather technical question concerning Ballygarth Castle. Can Anyone help?


Dear Administrator, Julianstown:
Our family is descended from the Pepper family--once occupants of Ballygarth Castle. Because of this, the castle appearance (and existence) is of special interest to us.
As an artist, I am putting together a sketch (to be given to family members) of the castle based upon photographs taken by my son--who visited Ireland two years ago, and a small book of lineage, titled "Descendants of Captain Daniel Pepper of South Carolina". The latter contains a (dim) set of photographs taken in 1974 by a close relative.
As I was working, I realized that it is impossible to determine (from my photographic sources) whether the two architectural features at the extreme ends of the building facade project outwards from the building or are flush with its surface. Thus, I am writing to you to ask this question of you or an associate.
To further clarify what I'm asking.
As far as I can tell, only one crenellated turret projects from the building. It is located to the left of the entrance door as you view/face the facade of Ballygarth Castle. The crenellated turret to the right of the entrance door is flush with the facade of the building. My question: Do the crenellated turrets at the ends of the facade (extreme left turret and extreme right turret) also project out several inches from the building exterior? or are they flush like the turret to the right of the door?
Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can provide.
Warm regards from Virginia, USA,
Donna Bennett
(and James Pepper Bennett, Jr.)

Hi all

Does any know a lady called Louise Cunnigham ?

I recently had a stall at the Craft Fair in Julianstown where the above lady ordered two comissioned art pieces from me.

Unfortunately I seem to have taken her contact number down incorrectly and urgently need her to contact me.

If you are her, or you know her, please ask her to email me asap, artbyjo@eircom.net

Thank you so much

All the best

Jo
