  • The Few Weeks of My Life That I Spent in Ireland Were a Wonderful Experience and a Good Beginning
    The few weeks of my life that I spent in Ireland were a wonderful experience and a good beginning. The Jane C. Waulbaum scholarship allowed me to have this experience, as the funds were used for travel and living expenses, and I thank the Archaeological Institute of America for this fantastic opportunity. I arrived in Dooagh, the village where the Achill Field School is located, nearly twenty-four hours after I departed from the United States, tired and filled with excitement. Not only was I taking the first step in my archaeological career, but was also in Ireland, the very place that I want to pursue my future intellectual endeavors. We did not begin fieldwork immediately. On the first day we had an introduction to the field school, including lectures about Irish archaeology, the history of the field school, and what we would be doing for the next few weeks. The site that we would be working on was the house of the famous Captain Boycott, dated to AD 1854. When Boycott arrived in Keem, a small village to the west of Dooagh, he needed to construct a house quickly and start farming, so he chose to construct it out of "galvanized iron", which is actually corrugated steel. As far as I understand it, he was able to construct his dwelling in less than a week, and added other phases to the house later, this time made from stone. Phase one, the "galvanized iron" portion of the house, at some point caught fire and was destroyed. It was this part of the house that we were excavating.

  • The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850
    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.

  • Resurrecting the County Mayo Section of the Now Closed Railway Line Built
    Resurrecting the County Mayo section of the now closed railway line built by the Waterford Limerick and Western Railway This guide is for users of graymac’s IWR route for BVE Train Sim who might want to know a little about the original railway on which the route is based. For latest IWR downloads and other information please visit www.iwrsim.graymacimage.com Notes for UK rail enthusiasts Irish Railway operation is in many aspects similar to methods practised in the UK. These differences will be most apparent when using the train simu- lator. The sign instructing the driver to sound the horn/whistle in Ireland is a rectangular board with reflector or light and black and yellow diagonal stripes. Advance permanent speed restriction (PSR) warnings, as per UK rail- ways, are not used in Ireland, large speed reductions being incrementally signed instead. PSR signs are yellow, octagonal, with black border and the limit shown in MPH. AWS is not in use in the Republic, there being other in-cab systems in force. For the benefit of train sim users AWS has been fitted, although not true to prototype. Irish passenger train drivers do not seem to have the need of signs (3-car, 4-car, S, etc) to tell them the stopping place at platforms as none are evi- dent at Claremorris. Obviously they must know the right place and wish to keep it a secret. Mile posts are of a different pattern to UK types. This railway line closed in 1963. In order to re-open it today many au- tomated crossings would be required.

  • Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy
    Draft Mayo County Development Plan 2021-2027 CHAPTER 2 CORE AND SETTLEMENT STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy for the County Development Plan has been prepared through extensive collaboration between the Forward Planning team, Elected Members and all relevant sections of the Council. It has also been informed by the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Northern and Western Region, the UN Sustainable Goals and the Strategic Economic Drivers influencing the sustainable future growth of County Mayo over the lifetime of the plan and beyond. The challenge is to build on the unique dispersed settlement characteristics of Mayo, in order to provide a balance, link and synergy between the rural countryside and urban settlements of the County. This will be realised through the following vision for County Mayo and the strategic aims set out below. 2.2 Vision of County Mayo ‘To create a sustainable and competitive county that supports the health and well-being of the people of Mayo, providing an attractive destination, as a place in which to live, work, invest, do business and visit, offering high quality employment and educational opportunities within strong and vibrant sustainable communities, whilst ensuring a transition to a low carbon and climate resilient county that supports high environmental quality.’ 2.3 Strategic Aims The strategic aims which relate to the advancement of this vision, are set out hereunder for each chapter of Volume 1 of the County Development Plan. The Plan aims to build on previous successes and to strengthen Mayo’s strategic advantage as a county, to ensure that we meet the needs of our citizens, communities, built and natural environments, infrastructure and economic/employment development to their full potential, while combatting and adapting to climate change.
