During part of the year 1916 that I was away from school, a young teacher from Spiddal, Seoirse Ó Flaharta, just out of training, acted as substitute in Furbough school. When I returned, I took up duty there again, but the Board of Education refused to recognise me, and requested the Manager, Fr. Lally, to have a teacher appointed in my place. This, he refused to do, though he was not particularly nationally minded, but the clergy of Galway, on the whole, were very strong on the point. Then the National Board withdrew recognition entirely from the school, and refused to pay the salary of the assistant, as well as my own. The Irish National Teachers' Organisation took the matter up, and paid us both grade salary for the period of non-recognition, which extended to April, 1920. In the month of February, 1917, at four o'clock in the morning, we were all awakened by a loud knocking on the door, together with an order to get up at once. My mother opened the door, and in trooped a number of R.I.C.

Identity DIVISIONAL QUARTERMASTER, 4th WESTERN DIVISION. Subject. Activities of West Connemara Brigade, and Brigade Flying Column, 1917-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. NIL. File No S.3000. FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY JOHN FEEHAN, Leenane, Co. Galway. In August, 1913, there was a public meeting held after 11 o'clock outside Kilmeena Church. As far as I can remember, it was the late J.D. Bartley, Clifden, Co. Galway, who addressed the meeting and it was after this meeting that I enrolled in the Irish Volunteers. Shortly afterwards, the late Tom Tarmey, an ex-sergeant of the English Army, was appointed our instructor in drill and boxing at classes held every Wednesday night. Mr. Tarmey continued his instructions up to late 1915. By that time we were fit to carry out the instructions ourselves. In about September, 1915, I was appointed 1st Lieutenant. In October it was arranged to have field manoeuvres and a sham battle between Kilmeena and Westport Companies, under the supervision of the late John McBride. These manoeuvres covered the same ground, almost, as the Kilmeena fight with the Black and Tans in 1921. At this time I was working for the late Willie Sammon, who was Q/M of the company, as a carpenter. Sammon went to Dublin and secured two rifles, which came to us in a crate of glass to the Old Workhouse, Newport, where we had a workshop, and I will never forget our anxiety and pleasure when we opened the crate and found the two rifles with the ammunition for same.

    ____________________________________________________ Introduction ____________________________________________________ The publication of this Directory of Services for Older People in Galway City and County is an initiative of the Galway Age Friendly Older Persons Council. The initiative sits under Strategic Priority 7 of the Galway Age Friendly Strategy which commits to, “…..ensure that older people have the information they need to live full lives.” This Directory of Services for Older People is based on the work of the Directory of Services for Older People completed in 2011 (Galway County) and 2010 (Galway City) which was led by the HSE The Galway Age Friendly Older Persons Council is a registered charity under the Galway Age Friendly Programme. This Programme is nationwide, and is being rolled out by both local authorities Galway City Council, and Galway County Council. The Older Persons Council is a critical part of the Age Friendly structure for Galway and includes representatives from older persons groups throughout the city and county. It meets once a month. Its aims are to represent the voice of older people in Galway city and county across the communities, and to support and participate in the development of Galway city and county as a great place in which to grow old. The Galway Age Friendly Older Persons Council identified the need to update, and print this Directory of Services for Older People in Galway city and county. This identified need is based on direct feedback from the consultations with older people which identified that the existing Galway directory of services was a great asset to older people and should be continued, but that information had become out of date.
