Before being rehoused in the locality, residents would need a certificate of eligibility. Eviction orders would be enforced and welfare payments would be linked to contracts of accommodation. President Mary McAleese welcomed the plan, saying "Today is about communities saying we're done with the past, we're not doing it again, and the future is going to be very different." In 2009 President McAleese officially opened Southill Area Centre, a new purpose built area centre for the Southill community. However, on 21 January 2012, plans were suspended due to the recession, and remain postponed indefinitely.

Bukovo, Cerkno

Bukovo () is a settlement in the Municipality of Cerkno in the traditional Littoral region of Slovenia.
Geography.
Bukovo is a scattered village along the southwest slope of Mount Kojca () on the saddle between the valleys of the Bača and Idrijca rivers. It also includes several hamlets southeast of the village center: Krtečne, Kojca, Selc, Žabže (or Žabče), and Laharn (from north to south). The soil is sandy and marly. The tilled fields lie on steep slopes, which traditionally necessitated carrying the last furrow plowed to the top of the slope by hand, or using oxen or a block-and-tackle system.
History.
Kojca is the oldest of the hamlets comprising Bukovo. In 1652 it was mentioned as the seat of a district that also included Bukovo, Krtečne, Žabže, and Selc. Most of the hamlet of Selc burned in 1935 because of a lightning strike. During the Second World War, German forces burned two houses and a hayrack in Bukovo and looted the village on November 1, 1943. The hamlet of Žabže was burned on June 10, 1944; during the attack, three men were killed and four women burned to death.
Names.
The name "Bukovo" is derived from the word "buk" 'beech'. Like similar names (e.g., "Bukovica, Bukovec, Bukovci"), it originally referred to the local vegetation. The hamlet of Kojca shares its name with Mount Kojca; the hamlet name is believed to derive from the mountain, presumably derived from "koza", meaning 'goat', thus 'goat mountain'. It was attested as "Cosiza" in historical sources and is derived via diphthongization and reduction (*"Kozca" > *"Kojzca" > "Kojca"). The hamlet name "Žabže" is a result of reduction. It was attested as "Sapulsach" (a locative form) in historical records and is derived from "*Zapolže" (> *"Zapuže" > *"Zapže" > "Zabže"). The hamlet name "Laharn" is of unclear origin. It is probably not derived from "Lah" 'Italian', as claimed by some sources, because old transcriptions ("Lochar" in 1566 and "Locar" in 1600) indicate that the first vowel was originally an "o".
Church.
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Koper Diocese. It stands on a small rise west of the village. It was built in the 18th century and consists of an octagonal presbytery walled on three sides, a broad rectangular nave, and a belfry. The furnishings include a 19th-century altar from the workshop in Idrija. The church is surrounded by a cemetery, which also contains a Partisan memorial.
Other cultural heritage.
There is a Partisan memorial on the main road southeast of the settlement, between the houses at Bukovo no. 33 and 33a. It consists of six upright stone blocks and was designed by Nande Rupnik. It was erected in 1982.

Slovenska Vas (; ; previously "Nemška vas", ) is a small village northeast of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Traditional agricultural activity of the village is linked to growing potatoes and oats and raising cattle, as well as some orchard and beekeeping activity.
Name.
The name of the settlement was changed from "Nemška vas" (literally, 'German village') to "Slovenska vas" (literally, 'Slovene village') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove German elements from toponyms. The former Slovene name and the German name "Deutschdorf" mean 'German village', referring to a settlement of ethnic Germans in what was otherwise Slovene ethnic territory. According to Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, the original name of the village is a reference to German and Carniolan refugees that fled here after an attack by the Venetians.
Church.
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Andrew and belongs to the Parish of Pivka.

Agglestone Rock

Agglestone Rock, also known as the Devil's Anvil, is a sandstone block of about 400 tonnes weight, perched on a conical hill, approximately 1 mile from the village of Studland, south Dorset. Formerly an 'anvil' shape with a flat top, it fell onto one end and side in 1970, leaving the top at an angle of approximately 45°.
Legend has it that the devil threw the rock from The Needles on the Isle of Wight with the intention of hitting either Corfe Castle, Bindon Abbey or Salisbury Cathedral. "Aggle" was taken into the old Dorset dialect as meaning "to wobble".

The rock is an "eroded relic of iron-cemented, Tertiary sandstone, the Agglestone Grit". It used to be anvil-shaped, but has since changed form due to erosion and been toppled.
Visiting the rock was listed by the Dorset Echo as one of the "25 Things To Do In Dorset Before You Die".

The , lake was created during the last ice age and is at a height of 883 m AA. Underground springs fill the lake with crystal-clear water. Hintersteiner See is privately owned by the Tiroler Wasserkraft AG and is cautiously used to generate electricity. It drains into the Weißache river.
There is a public bathing beach on the lake.
The legend of Hintersteiner See.
In Hinterstein, there lived some high-spirited, wealthy farmers, who used to play bowls with lumps of butter on their luscious meadow, which was where the Hintersteiner See is today. It was a brightly moonlit night as they played once more. Then suddenly, the earth heaved beneath their feet and they sank with their farm and everything on it into the depths. For their wanton behaviour however, the farmers were banished onto the Scheffauer peaks and, to atone for their sins, they were condemned to play bowls as long as the Kaiser mountain exists. Their bowling alley can be found just below the peak of the Scheffauer in a small corrie which is covered with a fine carpet of moss.
According to the legend, the wealthy Hintersteiner farmers had a huge argument about a spring. Even on the solemn festival of Corpus Christi they argued the entire day, which then ended in an unseemly scuffle. Bright and early the very next day, the dairymaid for the farmers, a very proper, sober woman who had long found the argument quite absurd, set off across the meadow to milk the cows and saw a small puddle of water in front of the house, which had never been there before. She shook her head as she saw it, but went on her way. It took her a long time to find the cows and she was surprised to find them huddling together in a dip in the landscape. She milked them quickly so as to get back to the farm and get on with her work, but when she walked up out of the dip, she was confronted with a lake where only the tip of just one house peeked out of the water.
