  • Killyclogher, Omagh. Co. Tyrone
    Important Information about Zest: Killyclogher, Omagh. Co. Tyrone First of all, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the generous people of the area who have made it possible for us to deliver our services in the Killyclogher office. Your kindness and generosity are an example to all communities in taking responsibility for addressing the problems of self-harm and suicide. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity. We, at Zest, believe it is important to point out that our office in Killyclogher is a therapy centre and not a drop-in centre. There are 2 reasons for this: 1. Firstly, and the most important reason, is confidentiality. It is essential that all our clients feel safe and that their meetings with us for counselling remain private. This would be very difficult to guarantee if the office was open to the general public on a drop-in basis. 2. Secondly, due to the size of the unit, we are only able to accommodate a small number of people at any given time. However, we can overcome these difficulties. If anyone who wishes to make enquiries for information or who would like to be seen for support, you can telephone the Derry office on 028 71 266999 an appointment will be given to be seen in Killyclogher. You may also call into the Killyclogher office on Friday mornings between 10.30am and 1.30pm to talk to a staff member. We can also arrange to meet small groups at any time, outside of the therapy times. We currently have 4 counsellors seeing clients in Killyclogher, 2 counsellors on Wednesdays and 2 on Thursdays (from 9.00am – 4.00pm each day).

  • The RUC Handling of Certain Intelligence and Its Relationship with Government Communications Headquarters in Relation to the Omagh Bomb on 15 August 1998
    Investigation Report The RUC handling of certain intelligence and its relationship with Government Communications Headquarters in relation to the Omagh Bomb on 15 August 1998 Public Statement by the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland arising from a referral by the Chief Constable, in accordance with Section 62 of the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 1998 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 On 4 May 2010, I received a Referral from the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) concerning a number of specific matters relating to the manner in which the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Special Branch handled both intelligence and its relationship with Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in relation to the Omagh Bombing on 15 August 1998. The referral originated from issues identified by the House of Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. 1.2 In 2013 the Chief Constable made a further Referral to my Office in connection with the findings of a report commissioned by the Omagh Support and Self Help Group (OSSHG) in support of a full Public Inquiry into the Omagh Bombing. The report identified and discussed a wide range of issues, including a reported tripartite intelligence led operation based in the Republic of Ireland involving American, British and Irish Agencies, central to which was a named agent. It suggested that intelligence from this operation was not shared prior to, or with those who subsequently investigated the Omagh Bombing. 1 1.3 On 12 September 2013 the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers M.P. issued a statement explaining that there were not sufficient grounds to justify a further inquiry beyond those that had already taken place.

  • A Seed Is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA from the Earliest Times, The
    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo
    The Cobanes in Ireland by Shirley De Renzo Family tradition passed down among the Cobanes in Ireland indicates the family had early origins on the European continent, most likely the country of France. They were said to be French Huguenots who fled the country because of religious persecution. Webster’s Dictionary describes Huguenots as, “French Protestants, adherent of a Swiss political movement begun in 1532 by Swiss political leader Besancon Hugues and active in the 16th and 17th centuries.” The original name of the Cobanes is said to have been De Gobienne, but over the years we have seen the surname spelled many different ways: Cobane, Cobeans, Cobain, Cabane and even Cobine. They are all believed to be of the same family. The Cobane family arrived on the eastern shores of Northern Ireland around the year 1640. They traveled up the Blackwater River and settled in the area of Aughnacloy, Ballygawley and Skey in the Parish of Carnteel. Records have been discovered which document the presence of Cobanes in Carnteel Parish in the mid-1700’s. There are two leases filed with the Registry of Deeds, the first of which is dated 13 January 1748 and the second 14 January 1748. The first document states that one Acheson Moore, Esq. who was then owner of all of Skey Townland, agreed to lease to Thomas, Joseph, and Samuel Cobane (Cobeans) sixty acres plantation measure for and during their natural lives for the yearly rent of twelve pounds six shillings sterling. The second lease was identical in text except that the grantees were John and James Cobane (Cobeans) for another sixty acre plot and was for the duration of the lives of the above two and for and during the natural life of John’s son, also named James, who was approximately two years of age at the time.
