Atmospheric concentrations of important long-lived greenhouse gases over the last 2,000 years. Increases since about 1750 are attributed to human activities in the industrial era. Concentration units are parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb), indicating the number of molecules of the greenhouse gas per million or billion air molecules, respectively, in an atmospheric sample.(Source: IPCC AR4, WGI, p.124)

Horse and Cart, Deerpark Colliery,Castlecomer.

Transportation of coal above ground was always a problem because of the rolling hills of the Castlecomer Plateau.The earliest overground haulage was a traditional horse and cart.Coal was brought to Leighlinbridge and on to Waterford. Coal was also transported to Dublin by canal, but this was very expensive. Pit ponies were also used for underground haulage. At that time, there were no ponies of the correct height available in Castlecomer, so they were imported from Durham, England.

Ennis Friary, Creagh tomb

Ennis Friary, Creagh tomb. Detail of a scene showing the betrayal of Christ. This is very similar to a number of carvings found on alabaster altar pieces made in England during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is probably a copy of one, that perhaps once decorated the altar at Ennis.

Barn Owl

The Barn Owl is the most threatened species of owl in Ireland and has recently been ‘Red-listed’ in the ‘Birds of Conservation Concern in Ireland’. They are generally seen only at dusk or at night when they hunt a variety of small mammals such as Field Mice, House Mice,Bank Voles and Brown Rats. They are threatened in Ireland by; a loss of nesting sites, less rough grassland habitat, being hit by cars and trains, drowning in water troughs, increased use of pesticides and poisoning from pesticide contaminated prey.
