Heath - XLII CLIl~lA’l’E OF COUNTY LONGFORD GENERAL Complete records are availablo for only one centre in the county, namely Lanesborough. Records are also available from Ballinamore (Co. Leitrim) and Mullingar (Co. Westmeath). As most of Co. Longford lies in a triangle between these centres the meteorological data which they provide may be taken as representative of the county. The climate of the northern half of the county i.e. Botanical Districts 1, 2A and 4A is best represented by the Ballinamore figures whereas the Lanesborough and Mullingar data would be representative of the southern half of the count.y, i.e. Botanical Districts 2A, 2B, 3, i-tA and 5. TEMPERATURE Longford, being inland, is not; very much influenced by the moderating effects of the sea on temperature. The.winters in the area are significantly colder than those of the maritime counties. Mean daily maximum January temperatures for Lanesborough, Ballinamore and Mullingar are 6.8 degrees C, 6.7 degrees C and 6.5 degrees C respectively. These are among the lowest figures for the entire country. Glerigariff (Co. Cork) has a mean daily maximum temperature for the same period of 9.2 degrees C which illustrates the difference. These low winter temperatures are not compensated by high summer figures. The mean daily maximum summer (July) temperature for Glengarriff is 19.8 degrees C compared to 18.7 degrees C (Lanesborough), 18.3 degrees C (Ballinamor~) and 17.9 degrees C (Mullingar). According to the published figures, only Galway, Mayo, Donegal and Motiaghan have cooler sqmmers than Co. Longford. Maximum daily temperatures very rarely exceed 30 degrees C and generally exceed 12 degrees C. First air frosts occur on average in late Octob~r and last air frosts in Late April. The start of’ the grass growing season i~ about mid March and the end of’ the grass growing season is late November. Snowfalls, in common with the rest. of Ireland, are not ~ significant feature of the climate but th~y appear to persist for longer periods in north Longford than in the more low lying south of the county. RAINFALL There is a significant difference in the rainfall figures for the north and those for the south of the county. The yearly average rainfall for areas within the county varies fr’om the lowest at Ballymahon (Vocational School) — 871, mm — to the highest; at Ballinamuck — 1019 mm. During the period from 1971 to 1980 the area had about 17 “dry spells” (i.e. 15 or more consecutive days to none of which is credited 1 .0 mm or more of rainfall). There were about 9 “partial droughts” (i.e. 15 or more consecutive days to none of’ which is cr’edit;ed 0.2 mm or more) and two “absolute droughts” (i.e. at least; 29 consecutive days the mean daily ranfall of which does not exceed 0.2 mm.) A complete month without any rainfall is quite rare. The rainfall is often made up of small amounts over relatively long periods. The number of wet days (i.e.days with 1.0 mm of rain or more) is around 165. The driest months are usually in spring or’ early summer. XLIII WIND Like all inland areas Co. Lori~Uor’d has lower wind speeds than the coastal areas.

You mention that this is to ensure that the plan of work is adhered to and to deal with any emerging issues and queries. It is good to deal with issues before they become problems. However, we do not appear to have received any plan from you. Last year’s adjudicator thanked you for your village enhancement plan which was spearheaded by your own group. However we note that this plan is now complete. We would encourage you to submit a Tidy Towns plan - a three or five-year plan will focus your mind on what you can hope to achieve - no matter how simple a plan it is. A plan need not be prepared professionally, but you should consult locally in preparing such a plan.

  • 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.

  • Abstract Potent Legacies: the Transformation of Irish
    ABSTRACT POTENT LEGACIES: THE TRANSFORMATION OF IRISH AMERICAN POLITICS, 1815-1840 Mathieu W. Billings, Ph.D. Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2016 Sean Farrell, Director This dissertation explores what “politics” meant to Irish and Irish American Catholic laborers between 1815 and 1840. Historians have long remembered emigrants of the Emerald Isle for their political acumen during the 19th century—principally their skills in winning municipal office and mastering “machine” politics. They have not agreed, however, about when, where, and how the Irish achieved such mastery. Many scholars have argued that they obtained their political educations in Ireland under the tutelage of Daniel O’Connell, whose mass movement in the 1820s brought about Catholic Emancipation. Others have claimed that, for emigrant laborers in particular, their educations came later, after the Famine years of the late 1840s, and that they earned them primarily in the United States. In this dissertation, I address this essential discrepancy by studying their experiences in both Ireland and America. Primarily utilizing court records, state documents, company letters, and newspapers, I argue that Irish Catholic laborers began their educations in Ireland before emigrating in the late 1820s and early 1830s. Yet they completed them in America, particularly in states where liberal suffrage requirements permitted them to put their skills in majority rule to use. By 1840, both Whigs and Democrats alike recognized the political intellects of Irish-born laborers, and both vigorously courted their votes. Indeed, the potent legacies of their experiences in Ireland made many the unsung power brokers of the early republic.

The following pages will, I hope, throw a long-required light on . the history of the most central county in Ireland. I have endeavoured to explain its ancient and modern formation; and no effort of mine has been spared to describe that transition stage when the land of Longford or Annaly passed away from the ancient to the planter owners. At very considerable expense I have secured an accurate copy of the Patent Rolls of James I., showing, as will be found on perusal, who the ancient owners of every townland in Longford County were, and to whom these lands were conveyed by Royal Letters Patent. If the reader is at all of an inquiring turn of mind, it will be very easy for him to fill up the space of two hundred and sixty years with the names of any old families in these townlands, and he lias as accurate an idea as I can give of who are, and who are not, the " old stock " in Longford County to-day. I am aware that many people, from whom better should be expected, have uot hesitated to describe my previous publications on this subject as an attempt to laudato the O'Farrells, as they say, "because I am a Farrell myself." Such an idea can only be harboured by the ignorant.
