  • Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View
    37 Manx Place-Names: an Ulster View Kay Muhr In this chapter I will discuss place-name connections between Ulster and Man, beginning with the early appearances of Man in Irish tradition and its association with the mythological realm of Emain Ablach, from the 6th to the I 3th century. 1 A good introduction to the link between Ulster and Manx place-names is to look at Speed's map of Man published in 1605.2 Although the map is much later than the beginning of place-names in the Isle of Man, it does reflect those place-names already well-established 400 years before our time. Moreover the gloriously exaggerated Manx-centric view, showing the island almost filling the Irish sea between Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, also allows the map to illustrate place-names from the coasts of these lands around. As an island visible from these coasts Man has been influenced by all of them. In Ireland there are Gaelic, Norse and English names - the latter now the dominant language in new place-names, though it was not so in the past. The Gaelic names include the port towns of Knok (now Carrick-) fergus, "Fergus' hill" or "rock", the rock clearly referring to the site of the medieval castle. In 13th-century Scotland Fergus was understood as the king whose migration introduced the Gaelic language. Further south, Dundalk "fort of the small sword" includes the element dun "hill-fort", one of three fortification names common in early Irish place-names, the others being rath "ring­ fort" and lios "enclosure".

LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1890. f^*^^''^'^,. >9S 30 U^f '-^ VIClK:!^ PREFACE. I AM at a loss what excuse to make for thrusting my- self into the foreground of this work, except that I have found it too hard to say ' nay ' to its author, whom I have known for years as a scholar who takes the keenest interest in all that relates to the history of his that he had singular facilities for studying everything of the nature of documentary evidence bearing on Manx proper names. Those who happen to have been acquainted with the 'Manx Note Book,' edited with such ability and such excellent taste by Mr. Moore, will agree with me in this reference to him. It always struck me as a pity that he should not place on record the fruits of his familiarity with the official records of the Island; and the expression, on my part, of that feeling on sundry occasions, is the only possible merit to which I could lay claim in connexion with this volume. The ground to be covered by the work is defined by the geography of Man, and so far so good ; but on the other hand, proper names, whether of persons or of ^itcface.

    HOUSE OF KEYS GENERAL ELECTION STEV E Thursday 29th September 2011 Dear Elector RODAN This is a critical Election for you, and for the Isle of Man. At a time of great challenge, those elected to the House of Keys will have to offer vision, leadership, clear policy and critical judgment on the difficult Garff decisions ahead. I believe my experience, and the political principles and policies I have set out in this Manifesto can help in that task. My 16 years of experience include government service, with two years as Chairman of the Planning Committee, five years as Education Minister and two as Minister at the Department Health and Social Security. More recently, after the last General Election in 2006 I was elected Speaker of the House of Keys. My role as Speaker has enabled me to build valuable political contacts at Westminster and in the devolved parliaments at Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. It is vital that the Island is well represented internationally, and I have attended the twice-yearly British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly with enthusiasm. What are my priorities for the Isle of Man? National wealth creation and full employment. The vigorous defence of our national interests and the Manx way of life against unwelcome outside political pressure and interference. To rebalance the public finances following the UK raid on our VAT sharing and indirect taxation income. To maintain the 5 key planks of Manx economic policy viz. Low, internationally competitive rates of corporate and personal taxation A statutory Budget surplus No external government borrowing Build up Reserve Funds Sustain high quality public services STEVE RODAN To enhance and promote our unique parliament, Tynwald – the institution which defines the Isle of Man, and whose legislative BSc (Hons), MRPharmS independence has made possible our unique fiscal, economic and is aged 57, married with social environment within the British Isles.
