Brendan is considered to be the first Irish visitor to North America. He was born in Ireland around 489. Some say he was born near Tralee; others say he was born near Killarney. St. Brendan became a Smonk. In the 6th century, many Irish monks were traveling to Europe to establish monasteries as centers of study. They traveled also to lonely islands where they could live close to nature. Legend tells us that St. Brendan and 17 companions left Ireland in an open, leather-covered boat for a voyage of seven years in the North Atlantic, looking for a promised land. It brought them to strange, new lands where they had marvelous adventures. RESOURCES HANDOUTS St. Brendan’s Voyage St. Brendan and His Companions Tim Severin Recreating the Voyage of St.

  • Rationing in Emergency Ireland, 1939-48
    Rationing in Emergency Ireland, 1939-48 by Ciarán Bryan Thesis for the degree of PhD in History Department of History National University of Ireland Maynooth HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: Professor Marian Lyons Supervisor of Research: Dr Jacinta Prunty September 2014 Contents Acknowledgements ii Abbreviations iv List of figures vi List of tables ix Introduction 1 Chapter I The practical, political, economic, and legislative 22 underpinnings of rationing in Ireland Chapter II Shortages and rationing in Ireland, 1939-45 62 Chapter III State and voluntary welfare mechanisms, 1939-45 129 Chapter IV The Catholic Social Service Conference, 1941-48 187 Chapter V Nutritional science and its social application, 1912-48 230 Chapter VI The Long Emergency, 1945-48 281 Conclusion 323 Bibliography 331 Acknowledgements From start to finish, my supervisor Dr Jacinta Prunty, provided great encouragement, wise counsel and invaluable support that helped me bring this thesis to fruition. I want to record my heartfelt thanks for her unfailing attention, patience and generosity. Our meetings always provided me with plenty of food for thought and thanks to Jacinta’s kindness I rarely left our meetings on an empty stomach. This I think is something of an irony considering the nature of the topic, but it was always a welcome boost! On a more serious note I want to record that as my supervisor Jacinta brought great intellectual rigour tempered with the human qualities of generosity and kindness. Special thanks must also go to Professor R.V. Comerford who encouraged me down this path and to Professor Marian Lyons, Professor Jackie Hill, Professor Raymond Gillespie for their invaluable suggestions and clarity of thought always willingly provided when sought.

These transactions bring our annual volumes to £165m which is down from the £305m traded in 2017. Activity However if we take out the single largest transaction of 2017, being the £123m sale of Castlecourt then the drop is much less pronounced, though still down on our 5 year average of £300m which is unsurprising in the current macro environment. NI investment volumes are traditionally dominated by retail and the sector, as a result, has been particularly hit by cost price inflation and tenant defaults over the last 12 months. Northern Ireland therefore, like the rest of the UK, has seen investment volumes and investor appetite drop off, especially outside of prime pitches.
