In 1824, commissioners were appointed to inquire into the state of education in Ireland. As part of their work, the commissioners directed Catholic bishops to gather information about schools in their respective dioceses. In turn, bishops delegated this task to their parish priests, who were to complete survey forms comprising fifteen questions about all schools in their parishes, including schools of all religious persuasions, hedge schools and Sunday Schools.
The original forms were returned to the commissioners and their content was published in summary and partial form in the Second Report of the Commissioners of Irish Education Inquiry (1826). It is understood that the original forms no longer exist. However, for the Dioceses of Kildare & Leighlin, a number of duplicate forms are preserved in the Diocesan Archive. In 1824, the incumbent bishop, Dr James Doyle (JKL), had directed his priests to forward duplicate returns to him.
The parishes for which duplicate returns are extant are listed below. Most of these returns are available for research at the Delany Archive, however, several are closed awaiting conservation treatment. All available information about schools in Kildare & Leighlin, taken both from the duplicate returns and the 1826 report, has previously been published and is available in Schools of Kildare & Leighlin A.D. 1775-1835 (Dublin: M.H. Gill and Son, Ltd., 1935) by Rev Martin Brenan.
Duplicate returns are extant for the following parishes in the Diocese of Kildare:
Allen, Caragh, Carbury, Clane, Clonaslee, Clonbullogue, Kilcock, Kildare, Kill, Killeigh, Monasterevan, Mountmellick, Newbridge, Portarlington and Emo, Rhode and Edenderry, Philipstown (now Daingean), Rosenallis, Suncroft
No returns are extant for the following parishes in the Diocese of Kildare:
Balyna, Naas
Duplicate returns are extant for the following parishes in the Diocese of Leighlin:
Abbeyleix, Ballinakill, Ballon, Ballyadams, Borris, Carlow, Clonegal, Doonane, Dunleckny (now Bagenalstown), Graiguenamanagh, Hacketstown, Mountrath, Paulstown and Goresbridge, Rathvilly, Stradbally, Tullow
No returns are extant for the following parishes in the Diocese of Leighlin:
Leighlin, Arles, Baltinglass, Clonmore, Killeshin, St Mullins, Myshall, Maryborough (now Portlaoise), Raheen, Tinryland
It should be noted that parish structures have changed in some instances since 1824. For example, the Newbridge return includes data about schools in Two Mile House which was erected as a parish in 1981.

(National Political Institutes of Education (German: Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten; officially abbreviated NPEA, commonly abbreviated Napola for Nationalpolitische Lehranstalt meaning National Political Institution of Teaching) were secondary boarding schools in Nazi Germany. They were founded as "community education sites" after the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933.), Wikipedia
History
1288 an estate was detectable in this area. 1614 the estate with fields, meadows and vineyards was acquired by the Habsburg monarchy, was first described as a Favoritenhof 1623 and served as the widow's home for the Empresses Anna of Austria-Tyrol, Eleonora Gonzaga and Eleonora Magdalena Gonzaga of Mantua-Nevers. For this, the estate was remodeled in 1642 according to plans of Giovanni Battista Carlone to pleasure palace with pleasure garden called Favorita.
The emperors Leopold I, Joseph I and Charles VI. served the Favorita as a preferred summer residence. During this time, extensions were built, the in the second Turkish siege in 1683 originated ravages repaired and sold some of the fields.
Charles' VI. daughter, Maria Theresa, heiress to the throne in the Austrian dominions, in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary and since 1745, when her husband became Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, as Empress was dubbed, preferred as summer residence the Schönbrunn Palace and had it expanded. To this decision may have contributed that the Favorita, concerning location and architecture, with Belvedere Castle could not compete, which the for Habsburg victorious commander Eugene of Savoy, of Charles VI. richly endowed, had built about 800 meters to the east form here using a prominent hillside.
The baroque Favorita (it was by now called New Favorita, the Old Favorita had been in the Augarten) in the suburb of Wieden handed Maria Theresia to the Jesuits - with the condition in it to establish an educational institution, a knight's academy for the benefit of the universal essence, but especially the noble youth. Main task should be the raising of educated and loyal government officials and diplomats. In the 18th and 19th Century followed various extensions and increases in the building.
1783 dissolved the reformer Joseph II in the Austrian hereditary lands all knights academies, as well as the Theresianum. In 1797 Emperor Franz II as sovereign approved the reopening under the management of the Piarists. The facade was rebuilt in the classical style. After the revolution of 1848, Emperor Franz Joseph I. disposed the admission of sons of the middle class as students.
The Oriental Academy, founded by Maria Theresa in 1754, was since the 19th Century in the Theresianum. In 1900 renamed, moved the Consular Academy in 1904 in its newly constructed own building (9, Boltzmanngasse 16, since 1947 Embassy of the United States). It was in 1938 by the Nazi regime canceled. Its role was in 1964 by the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna (see below) resumed.
After the "Anschluss" of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938, the Nazis dissolved the Theresianische Academy and established on 13 March 1939, exactly one year after the "Anschluss", in the buildings a National Political Education Institute (Napola). 1944/1945, the plant was badly damaged by bombs and grenades. 1945, the buildings in the occupied postwar Austria were by the Soviet occupying power monopolised, in the four-sector city of Vienna the 4th district controlling. It handed the Theresianum over to the USIA, the administration of Soviet Property in Austria.
After the State Treaty of 1955, the Austrian State resp. the Foundation Theresianum got the property on 20 September 1955 refunded, and in September 1957, the school system of the private school with public status could be resumed. The re-establishment of the in the war damaged buildings was carried out by the State from 1956 to 1964. In 1964 in a part of the buildings the by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs established Diplomatic Academy of Vienna started operations, with which the Viennese educational establishement for this topic after 60 years returned into the Theresianum .
Since 1989, in the high school female students are accepted, too.
The gymnasium in the presence
In addition to general education, the focus of the school is placed on language education - the compulsory subjects include other than German, English, French, Latin, Russian and mathematics - and in the education to internationality. Special emphasis is placed on politeness and good appearance. An additional service is available in the areas of sport, art, creativity, information and communication technology and music, and economic projects. The school is run as half-and full boarding.
The school campus is 50,000 square meters and includes a soccer field, and a fun court, two other soccer fields, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a running track, two beach volleyball courts, a basketball court, a large, divisible gymnasium and a smaller, older hall, in both of the are climbing walls as well as other sporting items available.
Currently nearly 800 students attend the Theresianische Academy. Many come from more distant states or from abroad and have the opportunity to live in a boarding school in this case.
The selection of professors is made by the respective school management in cooperation with the Vienna Board of Education. The boarding school, as well as some activities are shared with the Lycée Français de Vienne.

In 2010/2011, Langston & Tasker purchased foru double deckers, all Volvo Olympians. Odd man out in the four is P751 SWC, new to Dublin Bus as RV355 and more recently with Souls of Olney. It was seen in Buckingham on 21st March, 2014.
The Tornado project aimed to complete the task of building the locomotive from scratch, with no recovered/restored parts, a feat never achieved in the preservation movement before, and not completed in Britain for a main line locomotive since 1960. This was considered by the trust to be the next logical step in the steam heritage movement, after the restoration of Standard 8P Pacific No.71000 Duke of Gloucester, which due to its final state, had involved building a large quantity of new parts.
Building an A1, based on the LNER Peppercorn Class A1 would fill the 'missing link' in the otherwise preserved examples of East Coast main line traction, such as the Stirling Single, Ivatt Atlantics, LNER A4, A3 and A2 Pacifics, Class 40s and Deltics, and more modern examples.
The original target date for completion was 27 September 2007, the 175th anniversary of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, at a projected cost of £1.6m, with construction taking 10 years. With inflation and material cost increases, the actual spend has increased to £3m.
The trust has financed the Tornado project with a system of regular and one off covenants and industrial sponsorship, as well as negotiating generous terms from several manufacturers. Significant costs were saved in the project by securing parts from companies for free or at significant discount. The trust has also issued bonds to investors in return for financial contributions. Bond holders in return receive interest, and a repayment of the bond on maturity. By 2005 the trust's monthly income was over £10,000 and rising.

I promised Steve (misterpexies57) some low-loader progress a while back, to be honest there hasn't been much to show really.
Until now, shown here are some of the 16 new wheel bearing's, 16 new brake shoe pull-back springs, and 4 new push-rod springs I've had to have made, and 4 relined shoes.
This trailer was in pretty good condition to say it's 60 years old, unfortunately water ingress has knackered all the wheel bearings, corrosion has also made the big compression springs fall to pieces as well, the shoe pull-back springs are out of shape and have to be replaced.
A friend of mine is engaged in refurbishing, renewing a former home of hers. Throwing out the old and bringing in the new with a flourish. I visited for a while yesterday...wandering through the old farm house, trying to document the works in progress. It's a bit daunting to realize the amount of work to be done, but then at the same time it's overwhelming to take in what she has accomplished already.
And as you can see, she's adept at multi-tasking.
