  • The Lord Morrow of Clogher Valley MLA
    The Lord Morrow of Clogher Valley MLA Legal Counsel The Electoral Commission 3 Burnhill Row London EC1Y 8YZ 10th March 2015 Dear Sir/Madam In line with the Electoral Commission’s policy, this is notification to appeal the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland to close Moygashel Polling Station, in the constituency of Fermanagh-South Tyrone. This decision will undoubtedly result in fewer people voting at a time when the electorate are being urged to use their franchise. It also demonstrates differential treatment in this constituency. A polling station, in a predominately nationalist area, in which electoral staff were intimidated in keeping open longer than it should, has been was never subject to the sanction proposed for Moygashel. The Chief Electoral Officer’s decision is I believe irrational, unreasonable and discriminatory, and will result in voter suppression in what is the most marginal Westminster constituency in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. Michelle Gildernew MP has led a campaign for the closure of this Polling Station. It should be remembered that she holds the seat of Fermanagh-South Tyrone by a mere four votes and only after a re-court (having lost the first count). The closure of this Polling Station in a predominantly Unionist community and transfer of voting to a more distant and inappropriate site, is to push down the Unionist vote in the constituency. An Act of Voter Suppression Part of Sinn Fein’s campaign involved making a series of claims and accusations about events at the polling stations. A number of these allegations fell when subjected to the scrutiny of a court of law.

  • A Seed Is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA from the Earliest Times, The
    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.
