    Vol 12 No. 570 January 22, 1917 One Halfpenny TIPPERARY CHAMPIONS. ALL-IRELAND HURLING FINAL. EXCITING STRUGGLE AT CROKE PARK. TIPPERARY, 5-4; KILKENNY, 3-2. “The best hurling final for many years,” was the unanimous decision of those who witnessed yesterday’s game between the above at Croke Park for the final of last year’s hurling championship. Neither county, strange as it may seem, was represented by its best men, and in this connection Kilkenny suffered most, as both the Dickboro’ and Mooncoin clubs were practically unrepresented, while Tipperary were minus the services of the Toomevara players. From 11 o’clock large crowds were streaming into the grounds, and at 12 o’clock, the advertised starting time, it was estimated that about 5,000 spectators were present. The ground was in surprisingly good order, while no fault could be found with the playing pitch. Ald. Nowlan, President of the Association, together with the representatives of the Central Council and members of the Provincial Councils, looked after the arrangements, which, in the hands of the Secretary, Mr. L. J. O’Toole, left nothing to be desired. The game for fifty minutes THE GAME.

  • Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms-Houses
    Background to Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses The familiar red - brick terrace of small hou ses, in their own grounds, has stood in Kickham Street, Thurles, since 1889. Colloquially known in Thurles as “The Widows’ Homes”, their official title is “The Stanwix Hospital and Alms - houses”. The first residents , ten widows, moved in at the beginning of September 1890. There was a M atron to supervise, and by the end of 1898 the 2 nd phase of the complex was completed, with the addition of a further 8 houses. Ever since, they have provided sheltered housing for women in retirement, faithful to th e vision of the founder Emma Sla ughter Stanwix. Emma Stanwix , an English woman, an absente e Landlord, a private and reserved lady, an arti st, lived for many years in Versailles, France. S he i nherited her estate of 14 town s - lands in Moycarkey p arish from her father Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix, a high - ranking Officer in the English army. Wilson’s Di rectory lists Shanbally Castle, near Moycarkey, as the residence of Thomas Sla ughter Stanwix , though he rarely, if ever, lived there. Away on army duties, he was commissioned a s Lieutenant - General in 1806 . Going further back in history, during the Cromwellian Wars (1649 - ’52 ) , Cromwell and his forces spent over six months in Mid Tipperary. His cannon shelled Moycarkey Castle, doing considerable damage. Moycarkey Castle was the home of the Cantwell family, An glo - Normans, at the time. William and John Cantwell held substantial lands, and these were confiscated in the Cromwellian Plantation (1653).

  • Report by Commission of Investigation Into Catholic Diocese of Cloyne
    Chapter 1 Overview Introduction 1.1 The Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation was established in March 2006 to report on the handling by Church and State authorities of a representative sample of allegations and suspicions of child sexual abuse against clerics operating under the aegis of the Archdiocese of Dublin over the period 1975 - 2004. The report of the Commission was published (with some redaction as a result of court orders) in November 2009. Towards the end of its remit, on 31 March 2009, the Government asked the Commission to carry out a similar investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne. 1.2 During the Cloyne investigation the Commission examined all complaints, allegations, concerns and suspicions of child sexual abuse by relevant clerics made to the diocesan and other Catholic Church authorities and public and State authorities in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. 1.3 This report deals with the outcome of the Cloyne investigation. In Chapters 2 – 8, the report outlines how the Commission conducted the investigation; the organisational structures of the Diocese of Cloyne and the relevant State authorities, that is, the Gardaí, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the health authorities; and the general background to the handling of complaints including an outline of the canon law and procedures involved and the financing of the costs involved. 1.4 Chapters 9 – 26 describe the cases of 19 clerics about whom there were complaints, allegations or concerns in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. Below the Commission gives an overview of what these cases show.

  • Annerville Awards to the 2008 Tipperary Sports Stars
    Tiobraid Árann Abú - United Sports Panel 1959-2009 in conjunction with Bulmers Ltd Golden Jubilee Presentation of the Annerville Awards to the 2008 Tipperary Sports Stars 1 in Hotel Minella, Clonmel on Saturday, 31st January, 2009 United Sports Panel 2009: Back Row (left to right) Eamonn Wynne, Johnny O’Loughlin, Dave Hallinan, Seamus McCarthy, David Clancy, Liam Ó Donnchú; Front Row (left to right) Jimmy Cooney, Seamus King, James Holohan, Ken Conway, Richie Blanche. 2 Foreword When a number of sports enthusiasts got together in 1959, little did they realise that they were starting something that would stand the test of time and be still a force 50 years later. Led by Sean Barlow and the late Sean Lyons the United Sports Panel was formed. They felt the time was right to have an Award Scheme in the county to honour amateur sports stars in their chosen sports annually. In fact, one should note that these were the first such awards in the country. As well as honouring Tipperary’s outstanding amateur sportspersons the United Sports Panel had another aim, as expressed by the second chairman, the late Tom Halpin, when he presented the awards in 1964. He expressed the hope ‘that functions such as these, which brought the stars of various sports together, would help to promote unity in sport.’ Like all innovations, it was not without its teething problems. Finding ways to finance it and getting venues were just two of them. In the early days businesses in Clonmel were canvassed to sponsor the trophies. This problem was eliminated for the 1964 awards when Messrs Showerings Ltd.
