Ennis Cathedral
Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery. -

Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1
Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1 Introduction 19.1 In 1995 Archbishop Connell wrote that Fr Jovito “is a confirmed paedophile. He was ordained in 1978, but even before his ordination – as it subsequently appeared – he was engaged in paedophiliac activities with minors”. 19.2 Fr Jovito is probably the most notorious child sexual abuser to have come to the attention of the Commission. The Commission is aware of more than 40 named people who have complained of child sexual abuse by him. He has admitted to abusing many others; while he may not use the term ‘child sexual abuse’, he has admitted to using children for sexual gratification once a fortnight over an eight-year period. That constitutes child sexual abuse. He claims he did not abuse after that eight year period but the evidence suggests that he continued in a similar pattern. His pattern of behaviour is such that it is likely that he has abused hundreds of children. He was convicted in respect of seven complainants. Civil settlements have been reached with 21 complainants. He was laicised in 1995 and is currently living in Dublin. 19.3 Fr Jovito was born in 1954. He was ordained in 1978. The earliest allegations against him predate his ordination. He himself has admitted that he abused before he was ordained but most of the complaints about his activities prior to 1978 did not surface until many years later. It is known that during his time as a seminarian he had a key to the house of another well known abuser, Fr Noel Reynolds (see Chapter 35), and it is alleged that some of the abuse took place in that house. -

The County Clare Surname Culligan
The County Clare surname, Culligan, also written as Quilligan Author: [email protected] The author is the voluntary administrator of a Colgan surname (including Culligan) male DNA project and would welcome the participation of males who bear the Culligan surname in the study; of course, the initiative for participating in the simple, and inexpensive DNA test may be taken by female relatives or Culligan families acting collectively to cover the testing fee by FamilyTreeDNA.com. Prefatory Note Is Culligan a version of Colgan? MacLysaght writes: “Quilligan, Ó Cuileagáin - This Thomond [regional] name is equally well known in its variant form, Culligan” [McLysaght, A Guide to Irish Surnames, 1994]. In Edward MacLysaght’s Supplement to Irish Families, 1994, he wrote: “Culligan, Quilligan – Both these variants of Ó Cuileagáin are Clare names and are mainly found in that county and.. Limerick city … A century ago Culligan was much more numerous that Quilligan but the numbers are now about equal. Woulfe regards the name as an attenuated form of O’Colgan (which is said, without evidence, to be more correctly MacColgan). This implies that the sept immigrated westwards from Offaly which is to some extent corroborated by a fiant of 1588 where one of that name living in King’s County obtained a pardon. An earlier fiant shows another O’Colligan among the many O’Connors whose location is not mentioned. They were, however, well established in West Clare in the 17th century .. as Cullegane is returned in Petty’s Census as a principal name in the barony of Clonderalaw, Ennis”. This, the author’s Colgan Chronology does not include the surname Quilligan within its ambit. -

With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside
With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside A unique and compelling collection of writing on the theme of ‘the outsider’, edited by Trust Director and Co-founder, Alice Leahy and including contributions by Maeve Binchy, Christy Moore, Con Houlihan, Gene Kerrigan, Justice Michael Moriarty, Anita Reeves and many more… Alice Leahy has brought together a remarkable and hugely diverse range of contributions, from a number of well-known and not so well known figures in Irish society, including one man, a poet, who is homeless. Alice and her colleagues at Trust work hands on in the front line, providing human contact and health care to those who have become homeless, the most marginalised in Irish society. Alice considers that hands on approach to be Trust’s greatest strength, believing that “it gives us the motivation to continue to challenge the bureaucracy that is stifling the initiative of others in front line care who try the put people first.” As Alice says, “My work over the years on the margins of Irish society would not have been possible without the support of people in many walks of life. This is highlighted by the diversity of people who generously gave of their time to produce some thought provoking and in some cases provocative pieces for this book – a book we hope may help us to be a little more understanding of those who are different.” With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside published by TownHouse Dublin and available in bookshops at €12-99. However, to facilitate Building Trust in the Community initiative it can be obtained for €10 by post by sending a cheque to TRUST, Bride Road, Dublin 8. -

Learn to love humility, For it will cover all your sins. All sins are abhorrent before God, But the most abhorrent of all is pride of the heart. The Creator of the heavens obeyed a carpenter; The God of eternal glory listened to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this? Do not consider yourself learned and wise; Otherwise, all your efforts will be destroyed, And your boat will reach the harbour empty. Attribute to God every good that you have received.

Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B
Topography of Killaloe Parishes Reverend Philip Dwyer, A.B., • Bindon Street, Ennis, March 23, 1878 The parishes are taken in the order in which they stand under the several rural deaneries, as set forth in the Regal Visitation of 1622, and the particulars to which attention is directed appear in the following order throughout, viz. : — 1°. The name or names of the parish. 2°. The meaning or etymology of the name, as given by some competent authority in Irish literature. 3°. The size, with the actual and relative situation of the parish in each case. 4°. The ecclesiastical and other principal ancient remains and documents ; also brief notes of men of mark, old families, natural curiosities, or any historical incidents of importance connected with the parish ; also the inscriptions on old church plate. I. The Rural Deanery O’Mullod. This is the same as the territory or cantred of O'Mullod, so called from “M‘Blod, the son of Cas.” KILLALOE PARISH. The name is usually interpreted as Kill-da-lua,orKill-O’Mollua, from a famous saint of the 6th century, who is believed to have fllourished here. (Lanigan, quoted at Clonfert-Mollua, infra.) The parish is situated on the western side of the Shannon, in size 13,045 acres ; and is bounded on the north by the parish of Ogonello and Kilno ; on the west by that of Killokennedy ; on the south by Kiltenanlea ; and on the east by the Shannon, which separates it from the county of Tipperary. The ecclesiastical remains are the cathedral, and the stone-roofed oratory, or duirthrach,tothe north of it, which is not unlike Saint ColumKille’s house at Kells, or Kevin’s kitchen at Glendalough.
