  • 1. Introduction
    1. Introduction The name O’Donnell is an old one in Ireland: “O'Donnell comes from the Irish Ó Domhnaill, "descendant of Domhnall", a personal name meaning world-mighty. Given the popularity of this name, it is not surprising that the surname based on it arose simultaneously in a number of areas, among them west Clare and east Galway, where they were part of the Uí Máine, the sept grouping under the control of the O'Kellys. The most famous O'Donnells, however, are undoubtedly those based in Donegal. The O'Donnells were not prominent in early times, inhabiting a relatively small territory around Kilmacrenan. From the late middle ages, however, their power and influence grew steadily until, by the 14th century, they were undisputed lords of Tír Conaill, roughly identical to modern Co Donegal. Their dynasty continued for more than three centuries, culminating with their involvement in the Nine Years' War, in which Red Hugh O'Donnell (1571- 1602) and his brother Rory, First Earl of Tyrconnell (1575-1608) played a famous part, almost inflicting a decisive reverse on the progress of English rule. The defeat suffered by the alliance of the remaining pre-eminent Gaelic families was the beginning of the end for the old order in Ireland. Rory O'Donnell was one of those who took part in the "Flight of the Earls", the departure from Lough Swilly in Donegal in 1607 of the most powerful remaining Irish leaders.” (from the web) We do not know where our branch of O’Donnell’s comes from. The earliest we can get back to is to a village called Golden, near Tipperary, in the South of Ireland, and only back to around 1790.

  • The Findings of the Workers Inquiry Into the Wollongong Leukaemia and Cancer Crisis
    Cancer and Industrial Pollution The Findings of the Workers Inquiry into the Wollongong Leukaemia and Cancer Crisis September 9, 1997 © September 1997 Socialist Equality Party All rights reserved PO Box 367 Bankstown NSW 2200 Summary The Workers Inquiry into the Wollongong leukaemia and cancer crisis was held at Port Kembla on the weekend of July 19-20, 1997. The six inquiry commissioners have found that: The staggering number of leukaemia and lymphoma deaths among former 1 Warrawong High School students since 1989 is not a mysterious coincidence but part of a wider pattern of cancers and ill-health, particularly among young peo- ple, throughout the Wollongong area. BHP, the owners of the Port Kembla copper smelter and other major compa- 2 nies are responsible for the rising leukaemia and cancer toll. There is a direct link between cancer and the industrial contamination of the air, soil and water of the region. The report prepared by the Illawarra Public HealthUnit was a whitewash, 3 organised by the Labor government to protect the interests of the companies involved. Political responsibility for years of official cover-up lies with the Labor and trade 4 union leaders. 2 Cancer and Industrial Pollution Introduction In 1989, young people in the working class suburbs surrounding BHP’s steelworks began dying of leukaemia or lymphoma, beginning with Bill Neskovski, 25, in 1989 and Samah Maarbani, 19, in 1990. Both were former students of Warrawong High School. They were followed by several members of the Warrawong High class of 1991. Jimmy Veljanoski, 19, died in June 1995, Goce Ilioski, 21, in August 1996 and Melissa Cristiano, 20, in February 1997, just a day after one of her former teachers, Bob Churton, died aged 41.

  • LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday, 2 December 1994
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday, 2 December 1994 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. ABORIGINAL RECONCILIATION Mr FAHEY (Southern Highlands - Premier, and Minister for Economic Development) [9.00]: I move: That this House: (1) notes that in 1991 the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia unanimously enacted the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation Act 1991 to promote a process of reconciliation between the indigenous and wider Australian communities; (2) supports the concept of constructive reconciliation between indigenous and wider Australian communities; and (3) in acknowledgment of this support, adopts, as a vision shared by this House, the vision of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, namely, "A united Australia which respects this land of ours; values the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, and provides justice and equity for all". This motion will, I trust, be accepted unanimously here today and its sentiments added to those of the nation's other legislative changes where similar motions have been adopted as resolutions. The success of the reconciliation process depends upon the goodwill and good faith of everyone involved. The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation was established by a unanimous vote of the Commonwealth Parliament in 1991. It is working to achieve reconciliation by engendering respect in the community for the culture and achievements of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders and an understanding of their unique position in our society. The people of New South Wales are represented on this council by the Hon. Helen Sham-Ho, MLC, who is chairperson of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Aboriginal affairs.

Home was the Navuso Agricultural School established in 1924 by the Australian Methodist Church’s Overseas Missions with my Father as the Principal and for Mike and myself a 400 hectare playground. Before writing about our life, however, I need to write something about Methodism, because it was all around us, and somewhat all-pervading. I also need to briefly discuss my parents as their influence was of course equally pervading. Methodism First, Methodism. There were two features of Methodism that tended to distinguish it somewhat from other Christian denominations and indeed explained why there was a Navuso Agricultural School at all.
