Please note that event details may change and you should make contact with the name listed before attending any of the events. Welcome… The purpose of Social Inclusion Week is to highlight and create more awareness of people who may be excluded from taking a full and active role in society and their community. This may be because they are older and vulnerable, have a disability, identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender, live in a rural area, are a member of the Traveller community, are young, are unemployed, are from a foreign Country or for a number of other reasons. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate and promote the work that community groups are involved in. There are over 50 events happening all around County Galway this year. We would like to thank all the individuals, groups and organisations for taking part in Social Inclusion Week 2014. Your work on the ground supporting and helping people in our communities is invaluable. The activities and events listed are just a sample of the work that groups and organisations are all involved in on a daily basis and we hope that you will join in and celebrate these exciting events. The week will be officially launched on Monday 13th October by the Cathaoirleach of the County of Galway Cllr. Mary Hoade at 1.30pm in Oranmore Library. Finger food and entertainment will be provided and all are very welcome. For more information on any of the events please contact us on 091 509587 or 091 509580 or email [email protected].

Galway Age Friendly Programme Making Galway City and County a great place to grow up and grow old in. Micheál O’Mhuircheartaigh launched the Galway Age Friendly Strategy on Tuesday 20th May 2014 in NUI Galway. The Strategy Document and Action Plan was developed to address the feedback received from consultations with older adults which took place throughout the City and County. Speaking at the launch Micheál said “it is so important that we feel that we can continue to make a contribution to our community, no matter what age we are”. He added, “all worthwhile achievements start with a great idea, and this strategy is a great idea...The first person to reach age 150 has already been born" The Age Friendly Alliance responsible for developing the strategy is made up of Senior Management from Galway City & County Councils, HSE, An Gardaí Síochana, NUI Galway, Galway Roscommon Education Training Board, and Local Development Companies. Each organisation has committed to working together to find ways to improve the lives of older people in terms of health, housing, and social and personal well being in their communities. An Older Persons Council has also been set up which represents the voice of older persons in the community and bring issues and potential cost effective solutions to the attention of the Alliance Group and implementation group for consideration. If you would like to get involved in the Age Friendly Forum, join the Older Persons Council or just find out more about it contact Bernie Donnellan, Galway County Council on 091 509578, email [email protected], check out the website www.agefriendlyireland.ie and our facebook page www.facebook.com/galwayagefriendly. 2 Monday 13th October 2014 Fáilte Isteach Launch of Social Developing a programme Inclusion Week locally; A presentation by By the Cathaoirleach of Third Age Ireland the County of Galway Time: 12.30pm – 1.30pm Cllr.

  • Herdsmen Around Loughrea in the Late 19Th Century[1]
    A ‘spirit of self-preservation’: herdsmen around Loughrea in the late 19th century [1] Dr John Cunningham Thanks to the spirit of self-preservation, based on the principles of trades unionism for mutual protection, these long-deserving toilers have unaided from any other source succeeded in putting their many grievances in such a manner that the owners of the flocks and herds felt constrained to recognise and atone for in many instances.[2] The above tribute to the Loughrea-based South and East Galway Shepherds’ Association was prompted by the tenth anniversary celebrations of a remarkable organisation, at once the defender of the traditional prerogatives of its members and the vindicator of the legitimacy of their calling. The Loughrea Herds’ League*, as it was generally known, was one of the more durable trade unions in the history of rural Ireland, but it was also a contending party in the land war of the late 19th century. The League first came into public view at an open-air meeting in the village of Bullaun on 8 June 1882. It was an appropriate venue —bullán may be translated from the Irish as ‘bullock’ — a place long associated with pastoral farming, and the centre of an extensive grazing district. The large and representative meeting had been widely-advertised by placard and word-of-mouth all over East Galway, and it succeeded in its purpose, which was to place the nascent League on a regular footing. Given the circumstances of the time, the authorities took a close interest in the proceedings, having been alerted by Oliver Dolphin junior, son of Oliver Dolphin of Turoe House, a grazing farmer of over 1,000 acres in his own right, and the employer of several herdsmen.[3] The gathering at Bullaun was but the biggest in a series of organisational meetings held in the area during May and June 1882.

    ROINN COSANTABUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 1,379 Witness Peter Howley, Limepark, Ardrahan, Co. Galway. Identity. Captain Ardrahan Company Irish Volunteers, Co. Gaiway, 1915 -; Battalion Vice-Commandant later. Subject. Ardrahan Company Irish Volunteers, Co. Galway, 1914-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2693 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY PETER HOWLEY, Limepark, Ardrahan, Co. Gaiway. I was born in Limepark in the parish of Peterswell on the 12th April, 18914, and was educated at Peterswell National School until I reached the age of about sixteen years. I then left school and went to work on my father's farm at Limepark about the year 1910. At that time conditions were very unsettled in my part of County Galway. Holdings were small and rents were very high There were many evictions for non-payment of rent. The landlords had little mercy on the tenants who could not afford to pay the high rents, and evictions were carried out with the assistance of the R.I.C., a most unpopular force for that reason. I remember that in the year 1909 my four brothers were working on my uncle's farm at Capard. One evening on their way home to Limepark from capard they stopped at the village of Peterswell for refreshments. On leaving Hayes's publichouse one of my brothers saw an R.I.C. man with his ear to the door in a listening attitude. My brother struck him and he ran to the barrack, which my brothers had to pass on their way home.
