Kilmore Quay (Irish: Cé na Cille Móire, meaning 'Quay of the big church')[2] is a fishing village near Kilmore, in County Wexford, Ireland. As of 2016, it has a population of 372.[1] It is a fishing village, but its leisure facilities such as sailing, and sea angling charters are also of economic importance.[citation needed]

Tourism

The village holds a seafood festival during the summer with seafood served every day, live music, and activities such as races and family events.[3]

Architecturally notable buildings in the village include St Peter's Church, which was built in 1875 to a design attributed to architect George Ashlin.[4]

Ballyteige Castle, a 15th-century tower house which was the ancestral home of the Anglo-Irish Whitty family, who lived there until the 1650s, is approximately 1 mile north of Kilmore Quay.[5]

The Saltee Islands lie off the coast near Kilmore Quay, and boat trips to these islands are available from the village. The two islands, Great Saltee and Little Saltee, are known for being Ireland's largest bird sanctuary with gannets, gulls, puffins, cormorants, razorbills, and guillemots living on the islands.[6]

Public transport

Wexford Bus operates several services a day (not Sundays) between Wexford and Kilmore Quay via Johnstown Castle and Bridgetown.[7] Bus Éireann route 383 operates between Wexford railway station and Kilmore Quay on Wednesdays and Saturdays only.[8]

Marina

There is a boating marina located in the harbour. This serves as a jumping-off point for many Irish yachts embarking on journeys to France and beyond. It is also the first landing point for many visitors from Britain and continental Europe.[citation needed]

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution provided a lifeboat for Kilmore Quay in 1847. It was crewed by the local coastguard and kept in their boathouse but fell into disuse by 1857. A permanent Kilmore Quay Lifeboat Station was opened in 1884 and since 2004 the lifeboat has been moored in the marina.[9][10][11]

Point pattern analysis

Point pattern analysis (PPA)[1] is the study of point patterns, the spatial arrangements of points in space (usually 2-dimensional space). The simplest formulation is a set X = {x ∈ D} where D, which can be called the 'study region,' is a subset of Rn, a n-dimensional Euclidean space. Description The easiest way to visualize a 2-D point pattern is a map of the locations, which is simply a scatterplot but with the provision that the axes are equally scaled.
