In May, 1919, the Ballineen Company destroyed Kenniegh R.I.C. barracks. which had been vacated by the garrison.. Orders were issued by the brigade through each battalion that the local R.I.C. garrison was to be boycotted by all persons in the area. This order applied to traders, who were requested to stop supplying the R.I.C. All the traders obeyed the order, with the exception of one firm, Alfred Cotters, Ballineen, who continued to supply the R.I.C. with bread. The whole family were anti-Irish and the R.I.C.

  • 5/1 Chapter 5 the SOUTH-WEST Counties East, South and North-West CORK -- KERRY -- West LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island T
    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork. They agree with O'Connor [2] : It was not alone the miserable paucity of accommodation and utter indifference to the comfort of the passengers, that made the voyage an intolerable evil. Though it usually occupied but three or four days, frequently as many weeks were expended in making it. It was once our lot to pass a month between the ports of Bristol and Cork; putting back, every now and then, to the wretched village of Pill, and not daring to leave it even for an hour, lest the wind should change and the packet weigh anchor..

Tipperary. I was born at Aherla, Co. Cork, on 4th April, 1899, the sixth son of James and Emily Foley. There were eleven children in all, of whom five boys and four girls are at present alive. My brother John was drowned at sea in January, 1921, and my brother James, column leader, was shot at Farran on the 1st March, 1921, while on active service. After finishing at Kilbonane National School I did the secondary course at North Monastery C.B.S., Cork, and passed the Junior, Middle and Senior Grades in 1914, 1915 and 1916 respectively. I was then offered a teaching post by the Christian Brothers and taught at Sullivan's Quay C.B.S. for almost one year. I did not like the profession and secured a clerical post with the firm of Eustace & Co., extensive wholesale hardware, timber, iron, paint and oil merchants of Watercourse Road, Cork. I was with this firm over three years and enjoyed the work until pressure of I.R.A. work forced me to resign in March, 1921. My brother, James, had been Vice Commandant, 3rd Battalion, and whilst leading the Flying Column was accidentally shot at Farran on 1st March, 1921.

  • GAA Club – Overview
    CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.

  • Cork ETB Newsletter June 2016 (Volume III)
    Cork ETB Newsletter June 2016 (Volume III) CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S WELCOME I am delighted to welcome you all to the final edition of the Cork ETB Newsletter for the 2015/2016 academic year. As always, at this time of year, our focus is on our students and learners who are sitting examinations and undergoing assessments during the months of May and June. Many of our students are also making important decisions about how they will progress their education and learning, start or change their careers, or prepare for another year of study in their current school, centre or college. We are proud that, for many of our students and learners, progression will mean enrolling in or returning to one of Cork ETB’s Further Education colleges, centres or services, and we look forward to welcoming them in September. In the meantime, I wish each of our students and learners every success in the weeks ahead, and hope that their hard work and dedication over the past year is rewarded. Mise le meas TERENCE MACSWINEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE Terence MacSwiney Students perform with U2’s ‘The Edge’ at Sistine Chapel A choir of seven Music Generation Young Ambassadors, including two young singers from Terence MacSwiney Community College, joined U2 guitarist The Edge in making history as they performed live at the Sistine Chapel, Rome, on Saturday, 30th April as part of a conference on regenerative medicine, Cellular Horizons. The ground-breaking performance broke tradition by becoming the first ever by a contemporary artist at the Vatican. Music Generation Students Claudia Sheehan and Nicole Alcock were part of a seven person choir who performed backing vocals to The Edge’s performance on acoustic guitar and vocals, including a cover of Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will as well as versions of U2 songs Yahweh, Ordinary Love and Walk On.
