  • A World Without Stone, March
    A World Without Stone, March ’98 There are no hills and the only rock of substance – a sixty ton granite colossus – has been discovered deep under the earth by a great digger boring back under the Elbe. It was transported here by moving ice during an ice age, the newspaper says and it will be put on show for one and all. This absence of rock has troubled me through the years. I’d love to find worry-stones in different shapes, or even a handful of pebbles, but sand is soft here. I’ve had to accept this, as I’ve had to accept that stones in shop windows are proper stones. Not that I’ve wanted to. But people talk of size, shape and healing power and I feel I should too – perhaps! I have known the need for death and depend on solace and hard colours for comfort and some foothold. Terry McDonagh A World Without Stone New And Selected Poems Source: irishliteraryrevival.com/writers/terrymcdonagh/aworldwithoutstone.odt Terry McDonagh is a poet and dramatist from Cill Aodain, Co. Mayo. “Cill Aodáin & Nowhere Else” Today we journey along a new and technologically washed terrain. Holding what we have made and not losing what we have been offered by our past is difficult in slippery seasons. The poet or the painter is always transformed by making art, but not simply so; the words and the images become in turn agents of transformation, changing the air we breathe and the hills we walk. But things unveiled for us through art can open our brave new world, can reveal that place our bodies come from, where our souls are shaped.

Meetings were held regularly every three weeks; occasionally weekly meetings were held. The principal matters discussed at the meetings were, land division, methods to be adopted to compel landlords to sell holdings to the tenant farmers, which included cattle driving, breaking walls and the firing into the houses of landlords and their supporters. Also at the meetings the suitability of persons proposed for membership was thoroughly examined. The strange thing about it was that immediately after joining the organisation, members were questioned by the police about agrarian incidents, although never questioned before. In fact, the police never questioned anyone except members of the I.R.B. The older members of the I.R.B. were in the for the of organisation solely purpose obtaining land and had no national outlook.

  • Field Guide to the I. G. S. Post-Symposium Tour, August 2008
    Field guide to the I. G. S. post-symposium tour, August 2008 Paul Dunlop School of Environmental Sciences, University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland A. C. Fowler MACSI, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, Limerick, Republic of Ireland August 19, 2008 1 Preamble The tour will involve some mild overland walking in possibly wet fields and hillsides. A little climbing over gates and at least one barbed wire fence will be necessary (but not obligatory). Waterproof boots are recommended, and as the weather is changeable, rain gear should be brought, and a warm pullover. Bring also swimwear and towel, as there will be several opportunities to swim (and the water may be warm). Insect spray may be useful, as midges, mosquitoes and sandflies may be out and about, and can be very irritating. Etymology Two of the features we shall see on the tour, drumlins and eskers, both take their names from Irish words. Druim is an Irish word meaning hill or ridge, and the suffix -lin indicates small, thus a small hill or ridge. Apparently the term was coined in 1833. The Irish word eiscir also means a ridge, esker is the anglicisation. 2 Itinerary OS references are to Ordnance Survey maps (see OS in reference list). 23 August, 2008 8.30 Bus leaves university from the Stables. 10.30 Coffee at The Poppy Seed, Clarinbridge.

  • Galway to Dublin Greenway Public Information Leaflet
    Galway City Galway County Roscommon County Westmeath County Council Council Council Council Galway to Dublin Greenway Public Information Leaflet A greenway is an off-road route designed for cyclists and pedestrians. In 2012 the NRA was directed by the Department of Transport to progress the design of a national greenway from Galway to Dublin. This will be an important national tourism asset, attracting walkers and cyclists from all over Ireland, Europe and beyond. It will also provide recreational opportunities for local communities along the route. Westmeath County Council in partnership with Roscommon County Council, Galway County Council and Galway City Council have engaged Roughan & O'Donovan - AECOM consulting engineers to carry out the preliminary design and develop the scheme. A preliminary study for the western sector was made in 2013-14. This identified a preferred corridor linking Galway, Oranmore, Clarinbridge, Craughwell, Loughrea, Kilreekil, Aughrim, Ballinasloe and Athlone. Between the towns and villages this is a 'greenfield' or cross-country route, avoiding existing roads. The purpose of this leaflet is to inform the public of the proposal and to invite all interested parties to our Public Consultation meetings. We are seeking opinions and observations on route selection within the corridor and on any matters of concern to individuals, interest groups or communities. The information you give us will be recorded and considered during the detailed route design phase of the project. Public Consultations If you want to make
