Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015

Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

THE FATES OF THE TANKARDSTOWN MINERS: SOME EXAMPLES by Des Cowman Abstract: As Tankardstown was developed in the early 1850s there is evidence that famine and pre-famine emigration con- tinued regardless of employment opportunities. Economic factors greatly influenced accelerating departure rates through the 1860s and 1870s. The fates of only a tiny proportion of those who left can be sketched without knowing whether they were exceptional or the norm. Finally the fate of a few of those who tried to stay in the area is suggested. Journal of the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, 5, 2005, 47-52.

Nil File No. S.2344 Form STATEMENTOF JAMES POWER, Ballycraddock, County Waterford. I was born in Ballycraddock, Co. Waterford in the year 1886. My parents were farmers and I, too, have been a farmer all my life. Since I was a young chap of sixteen years of age, I was always interested in Gaelic football and hurling, so I joined the local G.A.A. club and played with the boys until I got too old to play in competitions. I still take a great interest in Gaelic games. About the year l9l4 when a Company of the National. Volunteers formedin this district, I joined up along with a crowd of the local lads. Our O.C. was a man named Michael Veale (deceased) and a man called Norris was Secretary of the Company. We had practically no arms or ammunition, only one rifle, a shotgun or two and a few .22 rifles. This Company was known as the Dunhill Company. When the split in the Volunteers came only James Norris and myself stood by the Irish Volunteers. We had no idea what was happening in Easter, 1916, so we took no part in the Rising. I re-formed the Dunhill Company after the 1916 Rising, with myself as Captain and a man named Billy Burns as second in command.
