What is unusual about this run is that there is no club and no committee, just Donal, his wife Mary, daughter Ann and another friend of Donal’s. They do a huge amount of work and the only reward they seek is a good entry and to raise as much money as possible for the charities and see everyone enjoy themselves. This year we were to travel from Dunmanway to Bantry, spend a few hours in Bantry House and gardens and then return to Dunmanway via the Pass Keimaneagh, Ballingeary and Inchigeela in time for a meal at 4.00pm. This of course is God’s own country. Every year entries number eighty to one hundred and it makes for a very enjoyable day out. However, like so many shows, displays and runs this year the rain ruined the day, but did not dampen the spirits totally. At the end of the day over €8000 was raised. Well done Donal! and long may you have the health to do your good work and of course visit us in Galway for WestRun. Donal first came to WestRun twenty years ago with his wife Mary and only missed one year since, that was 2006 when his son’s wedding day clashed with our event. Ford Model T Run: The 18th Annual Ford Model T Run was held in Galway on August 11th and 12th. Thirty five Model Ts took part including one of the first three Squad cars purchased by the Irish Free State for the Civic Guards. The car, pictured right, is currently owned by Garda Pat O’Connor with registration number YI 4017. The organisers of the run were our own William Fennell and John Malone. 8 Holidays Abroad – National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire, England Few car museums in the world can match the unique collection of the world renowned National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.

Battalion Vice-Commandant. Subject. Activities of Ballymoe Company, Glenamaddy Battalion, North Galway Brigade, 1917-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No S.2749. Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. MARTIN RYAN Kilcroan, Kilsallagh, Castlerea, Co. Galway. I was born in the month of June 1889, at Kilcroan, Kilsallagh, Castlerea, Co. Galway, and educated at Kilcroan National School until I reached the age of about 15 years. I attended the same school during winter months for a few years afterwards. My first association with the Irish Volunteers was in the year 1917. I cannot be more exact with regard to the date. The place was Roscommon town. I remember that I got an invitation to attend a meeting there called for the purpose of reorganising the Volunteers. Accompanied by John Harte from my own locality and Owen O'Neill and Michael Hurley from the Glynsk area, I attended the meeting which on a was held Sunday in a hall in the town. The organisers, as far as I remember; were either Dublin men or they came to the meeting from Dublin. I remember distinctly that there was a force of about 20 R.I.C. outside the hall while the meeting was in progress. They did not interfere with us during or after the meeting, but of course they would know us again. The Ballymoe company was formed soon after, and I became a member of it.

Age after age have they dwelt by the side of Galway Bay. asserting and main- taining supreme control over its fishing—a right which is theirs by a prescription older than the oldest tradition. For ages long they have been the near neighbors of the people of Gal- way, yet are even now as distinct from them, as jealous of their intrusion amongst them, and as strongly marked in their pecu- liarities as they ever were. Time, and the resistless force of modern "progress," maybe silently softening down some of the prejudices to which they were so obstinately wedded, and effacing some of the broadest lines of separation between them and their neighbors, but, intrenched in the stronghold of their harsh patois, and entirely devoted to their hereditary avocations, the main features of their character remain the same as in ages past.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • The Irish Workhouse Centre Portumna Co. Galway
    Mountbellew Conference, 21 October 2017 Why the Workhouse system... The Architect in theory... George Nicholls The Architect in practice... George Wilkinson The Workhouses of Co Galway – Part One Ballinasloe, Clifden, Galway, Gort, Loughrea, Tuam The Workhouses of Co Galway – Part Two Glenamaddy, Mountbellew, Oughterard, Portumna Emigration from the Workhouses After the Great Hunger The end of matters... There was work available in England but little work available in Ireland (no industrial revolution). The housing in Ireland was pitiable... Irishmen began to flock to England in search of work and the government needed to stop this. They sent over George Nicholls to find a solution to Ireland’s poverty. After six weeks he recommended the Workhouse System. The Irish Poor Law Act became law in 1838. It divided the country in 130 unions, with a further 33 added during the Great Hunger. George Nicholls - Family of builder architects in Oxfordshire. - Had been involved in the construction of a number of workhouses in England. - Only 24 when appointed as architect to the Poor Law Commission in 1839. - He was a flawed character and architect, notwithstanding level of detail. Galway: Ballinasloe, Clifden, Galway, Glenamaddy, Gort, Loughrea, Mountbellew, Oughterard, Portumna, Tuam. Mountbellew Electoral Divisions: Annagh, Ballynakill, Caltra, Castleblakeney, Castleffrench, Clonbrock, Cloonkeen, Cooloo, Derryglassaun, Killeroran, Killian, Mountbellew, Mounthazel, Taghboy. George Wilkinson • If people couldn’t afford to support themselves they came to the workhouse. • In the workhouse, they had to do work in exchange for food. • In Ireland, people had to stay and live in the workhouse. • That is why it was called ‘Indoor Relief’.
