  • A Gazetteer of Castles in County Offaly Ballindarra
    BALLINDARRA A GAZETTEER OF CASTLES – Béal Átha na Darach (THE FORD-MOUTH OF THE OAK) NGR: 205309/203554 SMR NO. OFO35-021---- IN COUNTY OFFALY BARONY: Ballybritt TERRITORY: O’CARROLL’S COUNTRY [ÉILE UÍ CHEARBHAILL / ELY O’CARROLL] BY CAIMIN O’BRIEN CIVIL PARISH: Birr 17TH CENTURY PARISH: Birr BALLINDARRA CASTLE Location of Ballindarra Castle in Offaly and the surrounding counties A GAZETTEER OF CASTLES IN COUNTY OFFALY BALLINDARRA SUMMARY Today a modern bungalow stands inside the area of the bawn of the levelled O’Carroll castle. The castle was situated beside the medieval routeway connecting the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr. It was strategically located to guard and control the fording point and bridge over the Little Brosna River which was the gateway to O’Carroll’s Country from the neighbouring lands of Ormond and the Gaelic territory of the O’Kennedys which now forms part of North Tipperary. Ballindarra Castle was a multi-storeyed tower house probably built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the O’Carrolls and was defended by a polygonal- shaped bawn wall. A short section of the upstanding wall, running parallel to the eastern bank of the river, may belong to the original bawn wall. Drawing c.1800, of Ballindarra Castle and Bawn from the Birr Castle archives (A/24) inspired by an account of the 1690 Siege of Birr. This drawing is an artist’s impression of a three storey roofless tower house standing inside an irregular-shaped bawn. It stands guarding the important pass or crossing point over the Little Brosna River which connected the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr.

  • RSE Ireland 2019 and a New Global Vision for Education
    RSE Ireland 2019 And a New Global Vision for Education Introduction Over the last few months it has come to the attention of many Irish parents that after 20 years the Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) curriculum is to be updated for Primary and Post-Primary Schools. Obviously, parents want to know what changes might take place and they have set out to investigate. Before examining the data gathered, it is worth outlining that there are 2 parts to the proposed changes which are running concurrently: 1. Provision of Objective Sex Education Bill 2018 Provision of Objective Sex Education Bill 2018 is currently before Dáil Eireann, and it is in its 3rd stage. ‘Bill entitled an Act to guarantee the right of students to receive factual and objective relationships and sexuality education without regard to the characteristic spirit of the school.’ The bill is sponsored by Paul Murphy, Ruth Coppinger, and Mick Barry. 2. The NCCA The NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) is an advisory body for the Minister of Education and Skills. It is tasked with reviewing the RSE curriculum and its findings are due out in Summer 2019. ‘A paper prepared by Dr Seline Keating, Professor Mark Morgan and Dr Bernie Collins for the NCCA says that, internationally, best practice is moving towards a ‘holistic sex education’ (HSE) approach, which addresses the realities of young people’s lives, the diversity of sexuality and gender identities that have emerged and continue to emerge, and the challenges young people face in navigating relationships in a positive, healthy way.’ Irish Independent 6/2/2019.
