Annagh 2005, the Twenty-Eighth Issue of the Ballyhaunis Tparish Magazine Christmas Greetings t seems such a short year since last Christmas and yet we are moving fast towards the IChristmas season again. The year gone by has been a year of high drama, beginning with the awful tsunami tragedy on St. Stephen’s Day. This has been followed by all the other tragedies of the year, the hurricanes in the US, the terrors in Baghdad, the earthquake in Pakistan and many more. I suppose one event that will always stand out in the minds of Catholics was the death of our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. His final illness and death brought home to us how he dignified pain and suffering by his endurance and acceptance. His funeral captured the attention of the world because he was respected by world leaders everywhere for standing up for what he believed. Then we had the election of Pope Benedict XVI and a new era in the church began. It is our prayer that the coming year will be a better year, that peace will take the place of war and violence around the world, and that people everywhere will escape natural disasters and flu pandemics. As always, I avail of the pages of Annagh Magazine to wish you all, on my own behalf and on behalf of Fr. Burke, a very happy and holy Christmas and every blessing and every happiness in the New Year. Wherever you are, at home or abroad, you will be remembered in our Masses on Christmas Day. Joseph Cooney Canon Joseph Cooney, P.P. and Fr. Kieran Burke, C.C. offer Benediction at the Square during the Corpus Christi procession, Sunday, 29th May.

We hope this year’s magazine reflects the vibrant and evolving community that is Ballyhaunis in the twenty-first century. We have reached the half-way stage of the first decade of the new century. We live in a fast moving, wealthy (for some) economy where massive changes have taken place and will continue to take place in the future. It is twenty years since the first flight took off from Knock Airport (now Ireland West Knock), inspired by the visionary and late Mons. Horan. Our telephone service went automatic that year. We had not yet heard of the internet, mobile phones, or the Euro; nor had our first woman President, Mary Robinson – a Mayo native – been elected. Computers twenty years ago were few and far between. Annagh was printed in black and white by Ballyhaunis Junior Chamber in 1985. At that time in Ballyhaunis we hadn’t heard of Midwest Radio, the Millennium Spire, the Claremorris-Knock bypass road and other local infrastructural improvements; the enterprise centres, the townland signage, the many new estates and the people from many countries who have become part of our community, as the pages of this magazine will testify. As with all organisations in the parish we have lost many valued members, and this year we sorely miss the wisdom and wit of the late Gerry Cribbin. We dedicate this magazine to his memory, especially remembering the great work Gerry did in chronicling the past and preserving it for us. All through the changes in Ballyhaunis, with the advent of new businesses and many changes that have occurred in older businesses, our loyal readers supported us by buying the magazine; our generous patrons, both at home and abroad, defrayed the rising cost; our writers visited the well of inspiration, and twenty-eight years later we still have a magazine. Our voluntary committee continues to produce the magazine year after year. Every year there is a fear that we mightn’t have enough material to fill a magazine, yet, every year we seem to receive more than we are able to publish. Inevitably, contributions of articles and photographs have had to be held over due to lack of space. Change continues to occur in all our lives; our voluntary organisations try to respond to some of the changes; they are some of the real heroes and heroines of modern Ireland, for without them our quality of life would be the poorer. Monsignor Horan had a vision that has borne fruit. As we face the future of a changing society, the important thing to remember is how we manage the changes. In a few weeks time work will be getting underway on next year’s Annagh Magazine. As always we welcome contributions of articles and photographs of Ballyhaunis interest. So that we can have the magazine printed in good time for Christmas, we would ask that articles, photographs or other items for publication be submitted to any committee member (listed below) before Friday 20th October 2006. Finally, greetings to all our readers wherever they may be. You can contact Annagh at [email protected]; or you can view our website at www.annagh.com.

  • Flood Analysis of the Clare River Catchment Considering Traditional Factors and Climate Change
    Flood Analysis of the Clare River Catchment Considering Traditional Factors and Climate Change AUTHOR Pierce Faherty G00073632 A Thesis Submitted in Part Fulfilment for the Award of M.Sc. Environmental Systems, at the College of Engineering, Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Ireland Submitted to the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, September 2010 .... ITUTE Of TECHNOLOGY DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY September 2010 The substance of this thesis is the original work of the author and due reference and acknowledgement has been made, when necessary, to the work of others. No part of this thesis has been accepted for any degree and is not concurrently submitted for any other award. I declare that this thesis is my original work except where otherwise stated. Pierce Faherty Sean Moloney Date: 1 7 - 01" 10__ Abstract The main objective of this thesis on flooding was to produce a detailed report on flooding with specific reference to the Clare River catchment. Past flooding in the Clare River catchment was assessed with specific reference to the November 2009 flood event. A Geographic Information System was used to produce a graphical representation of the spatial distribution of the November 2009 flood. Flood risk is prominent within the Clare River catchment especially in the region of Claregalway. The recent flooding events of November 2009 produced significant fluvial flooding from the Clare River. This resulted in considerable flood damage to property. There were also hidden costs such as the economic impact of the closing of the N17 until floodwater subsided. Land use and channel conditions are traditional factors that have long been recognised for their effect on flooding processes.

II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

  • Church and Society in Twelfth-Century Suffolk: the Charter Evidence'
    CHURCH AND SOCIETY IN TWELFTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK: THE CHARTER EVIDENCE' by CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILL, B.A , PH D., ER.HIST.S. EVERY LOCAL HISTORIAN is well aware of the great value of charters, or title deeds; they are an invaluable source of information for genealogy, topography and the descent of estates. Those familiar with late medieval and early modern documents might, however, be excused for thinking them useful but tedious, couched as they are in stereotyped legal formulae. This is certainly not the case with 12th-century charters. It is not merely that in the period up to 1250 the student of diplomatic can trace the gradual evolution of important legal concepts relating to tenure and inheritance. These early charters also abound in colourful and intimate detail, and often reveal the sentiments of donors in a way which, in a later age, is obscured by the strait-jacket of common form. Indeed, it is possible to appreciate more fully the realities of life in the 12th century through charters than through the majority of chronicles.2 The sentiment behind so many gifts to religious houses can be illustrated by two examples relating to the Bigod family, Earls of Norfolk, who held extensive Suffolklands. When Matilda, daughter of Roger Bigod, died, her husband, William d'Albini, weeping and wailing, gave to his newly-founded priory at Wymondham, where she was buried at an impressive ceremony attended by the bishop and the leading ecclesiasticsof the county, the manor of Happisburgh, granted for her salvation and that of all his kindred and of the king and queen.
