SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT KBAU ON THK ITXH DAY OF MARCH, 1859. The Council regret being obliged to announce the demise of three of your most indefatigable members during the past year—namely, the Rev. D. A. O'Sidlivan, P.P., Enniskean, Co. Cork, the Rev. Matthew Kelly, D.D., St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and Dr. Robert Cane of Kilkenny. The CouncU cannot but regret the unavoidable delay of your Publications in their hands, but matters have now been so arranged, that their successors in office wUl henceforth have no difficulty in this respect. The thanks of the Ossianic Society are due to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, for his courtesy in allowing them to collate one of their forthcoming Publications with the original in the Book of Lismore, the property of His Grace ; and also to the President and Council of the Royal Irish Academy, for the facility afforded to the Editor of the forthcoming Volume (IV.) in collating his proofs with the manuscripts in their large and valuable collection. SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT READ ON THB 17TH VAX OF MAJttCH, 1860. Thk Council of the Ossianic Society have much pleasure in stating that their efforts in the cause of our country's ancient literature have been warmly ap- preciated by the public and the press. This is visible in the annually increasing number of Members, many of them eminent in the various paths of know ledge, enrolled upon the Society's list. At the last Annual Report of the Coimcil, the Societj' numbered 659 Members—at present it is composed of 746. To aid and extend the good work, a kindred Society has lately been established in New York, with a Council composed of Irish scholars, which has already remitted a sum of £8 for our Transactions of the past years. We congratulate our brethren in the United States upon their energy and patriotism. The works of the Ossianic Society are well calculated to become popular. Less dry than strictly historical books, they throw open the Portals of the Past to the reader, and bring him among the majestic forests of Ancient Erinn —there to behold the enchantments of Fairy-power, to accompany Finn and the Fianna in the chase and the battle-raid, to admire the chivalry of Oscar, the "gold deeded," the beau-ideal of magnanimity, and to list to the melodious harps and sweet lays of Oisin and the later bards. The fifth volume of the Society's Transactions is already nigh to publication, and will prove to be one of the most interesting of Irish works. It is entitled ]n)ceAcc t)A Ctioit)-óíi)tt)e—" The Proceedings of the Great Bardic Institu- tion," and describes their tour through Erinn. It is taken from a vellum ma- nuscript of the fourteenth century (the book of Mac Carthaigh Riabhach), and appears under the Editorship of Professor Connellan. The power of the bards—their use and abuse thereof, are vividly portrayed, the attributes of the Chief Bard and his School enumerated, and his lays oif praise and satire recorded. Thus, we are yearly laying before the country works which must be of great value to the future historians of Progress in this Island ; showing, as they do, the literary, warlike, and domestic customs of the old inhabitants. Unveiling the characteristics and deeds of Erinn and of her representative men during the daj's of heathenry and the primal Christian ages ; do they not also open to our poets a treasury more vast and varied than the Mabinogion of Wales and those other Celtic legends of Brittany coidd exhibit ; and yet from these has the Poet Laureate elaborated his celebrated " Idylls of the King." It is desirable that all members who are in arrear should discharge the same before the publication of the present book, else their names shall be struck off the rolls of the Society.

  • Architectural Conservation Areas
    A3 Architectural Conservation Areas 415 A3 Architectural Conservation Areas ARDBRACCAN DEMESNE ACA Historical Development Ardbraccan House and demesne occupy an historically important site as it has been the seat of the Bishops of Meath since the fourteenth century. The house is set in mature pasture land with formal and walled gardens. The construction of the house commenced c. 1734 to the designs of Richard Castle and was completed in the 1770’s to the designs of James Wyatt, Thomas Cooley and the Rev. Daniel Beaufort. Built Form The domestic and agricultural outbuildings associated with Ardbraccan House display an exceptionally high level of architectural design. These include piggeries, granary, dovecotes, bell tower, bullock sheds, carriage house, fowl yards, laundry yard, pump yard, slaughter house, vaulted stables, and clock tower. The Demesne structures include the gate lodges, entrance gates and walls, ha-ha, eel pond, ice house, vineries, grotto, and water pump. The detached two-storey four-bay house, possibly the farm manager’s house, was built c.1820, of randomly coursed limestone with roughcast render and raised rendered quoins. The particular interest of this building is in its relationship with the single-storey cottages to the immediate north. Within the demesne are other structures – St Ultan’s Church and graveyard, Infant school, dated 1856, and holy well. Objectives 1. To preserve the character of the demesne, its designed landscape and built features by limiting the extent of new development permitted within the demesne and requiring that any such development respect the setting and special qualities of the demesne. 2. To require that all works, whether of maintenance and repair, additions or alterations to existing buildings or built features within the demesne shall protect the character of those buildings and features by the use of appropriate materials and workmanship.

  • Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge
    Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge David Noel Wilson, B.A. Hon., Grad. Dip. Data Processing, Grad. Dip. History. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts (with Advanced Seminars component) in the Department of History, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne. July, 2004 © David N. Wilson 1 Abstract David Noel Wilson, Honour and Early Irish Society: a Study of the Táin Bó Cúalnge. This is a study of an early Irish heroic tale, the Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of the Cooley). It examines the role and function of honour, both within the tale and within the society that produced the text. Its demonstrates how the pursuit of honour has influenced both the theme and structure of the Táin . Questions about honour and about the resolution of conflicting obligations form the subject matter of many of the heroic tales. The rewards and punishments of honour and shame are the primary mechanism of social control in societies without organised instruments of social coercion, such as a police force: these societies can be defined as being ‘honour-based’. Early Ireland was an honour- based society. This study proposes that, in honour-based societies, to act honourably was to act with ‘appropriate and balanced reciprocity’. Applying this understanding to the analysis of the Táin suggests a new approach to the reading the tale. This approach explains how the seemingly repetitive accounts of Cú Chulainn in single combat, which some scholars have found wearisome, serve to maximise his honour as a warrior in the eyes of the audience of the tale.

    Universidade de Brasília Instituto de Letras Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas Paweł Hejmanowski Espelhos Distorcidos: o Romance At Swim- Two-Birds de Flann O'Brien e a Tradição Literária Irlandesa Tese apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura para obtenção do título de Doutor, elaborada sob orientação da Profa. Dra. Cristina Stevens. Brasília 2011 IN MEMORIAM PROFESSOR ANDRZEJ KOPCEWICZ 2 Agradeço a minha colega Professora Doutora Cristina Stevens. A conclusão do presente estudo não teria sido possível sem sua gentileza e generosidade. 3 RESUMO Esta tese tem como objeto de análise o romance At Swim-Two-Birds (1939) do escritor irlandês Flann O’Brien (1911-1966). O romance pode ser visto, na perspectiva de hoje, como uma das primeiras tentativas de se implementar a poética de ficção autoconsciente e metaficção na literatura ocidental. Publicado na véspera da 2ª Guerra, o livro caiu no esquecimento até ser re-editado em 1960. A partir dessa data, At Swim-Two-Birds foi adquirindo uma reputação cult entre leitores e despertando o interesse crítico. Ao lançar mão do conceito mise en abyme de André Gide, o presente estudo procura mapear os textos dos quais At Swim-Two-Birds se apropria para refletí-los de forma distorcida dentro de sua própria narrativa. Estes textos vão desde narrativas míticas e históricas, passam pela poesia medieval e vão até os meados do século XX. Palavras-chave: Intertextualidade, Mis en abyme, Literatura e História, Romance Irlandês do séc. XX, Flann O’Brien. ABSTRACT The present thesis analyzes At Swim-Two-Birds, the first novel of the Irish author Flann O´Brien (1911-1966).

Introduction Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths commenced in Ireland in 1864, though registration of marriages of non‐Roman Catholics was introduced earlier in 1845. The Births, marriages and deaths were registered by geographical areas known as Registration Districts (also known as Superintendent Registrar’s Districts). The boundaries of the registration districts followed the boundaries of the Poor Law Unions created earlier under the 1838 Poor Law Act for the administration of relief to the poor.
