Description: <abstract>Construction began on the Shannon Hydro-Electric Scheme in 1925 attempting to harness the power of the Shannon as an energy resource for the region. The project was an amazing feat of engineering for its time and through its opening in1929 provided electricity for many rural homes across the southwest and further afield through the development of the national grid. Today the canal and its associated structures are a testament to the skills of those who created it and this survey records the remaining structures and their condition.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>
This dataset is based on the publication ‘The Ecclesiastical Heritage of County Galway and should be used as a companion to this publication. The map and publication explore the various spaces of the church and their function. From the approach into the church grounds, through the entrance porch that prepares the entrant for the holiness within, to the aisle that leads towards the holy heart of the building, the altar, set within the most sacred space of the church. It explores the artwork that adorns the churches, and how its form has changed with time. Symbolism inserted into the stonework, stained glass and metalwork by the various artists, relaying the teachings of the church is examined. Where possible, the talented
artists, from the county and further afield, whose works fill the churches with colour and beauty are identified.
