An informal group, the Schull Harbour Users’ Group, was formed by the local interested bodies. Following a number events and consultation with local groups, County Council planners and engineers, and both local and national politicians, a plan has evolved to include the following: - Extending the existing pier to the east and northeast to allow for permanent berths for the trawlers in all weathers and provide much improved facilities for the inshore fishing boats and the Ferry Operators.

I am beginning to feel that, having lived on three continents and seen much, I have seen a lot. Many of you in the Diocese have known me longer than I have known myself! But even those of you who are around longer haven’t seen it all, it would seem. When have we ever seen it all? Never. But we do learn lessons from the past in order to live now. We are truly living in strange and bewildering times. When I say that people have lived through such times before, in our communities locally, nationally, and worldwide, that is not in any way to diminish our own sense of anxiety and vulnerability at this time. Almost certainly by the time this issue of the Diocesan Magazine gets to you (however it does) things will have changed again; they are changing by the hour, yet alone the day.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY WILLIAM CROWLEY Kilsarlaught, Aughadown, Skibbereen, Co. Cork. I was born on 2nd February, 1894, at Kilsarlaught. My father was a farmer. I was educated at Lisheen national school. After leaving school, After age of fourteen years, I went to work with local farmers as an agricultural labourer at ninepence per day. I was interested in the national movement from my childhood. My home was the meeting place for all those interested in the freedom of Ireland in the district. My earliest recollections are of the stories of the Fenian movement being told by the local seanacaidhe at the fireside chats in my home. These stories naturally created in my mind an interest in the story of Ireland's fight for freedom, and as I grew up, I read every available story and book I could lay hands on, which related to Ireland's story. When the Trish Volunteers were formed in Lisheen in July 1914, I was one of the founder members. Practically all the local young men joined the company at the invitation of the parish priest, Fr. O'Sullivan. The instructors who took charge were Henry Alcock, North Street, Skibbereen, and a retired R.I.C.
