The final holes especially provide a spectacular finish to a satisfying and memorable experience. Caddy hire available. Dress code is neat & casual.

  • The Land League (1879-82)
    Oughterard and Kilannin: The Land League (1879-82) Please check the following page(s) for clarification. Issues are highlighted in [red] in the transcribed text. Michael Davitt (1846-1906) Davitt, founder of the Land League, was the son of an evicted Mayo tenant. He was imprisoned for fifteen years in 1870 on charges of Fenian conspiracy in England. Released from Dartmoor prison in 1877 on ‘ticket of leave’, he returned to Ireland. He staged a mass meeting at Irishtown, Co. Mayo, on 20th April, 1879. This demonstration was called to protest against excessive rents and was attended by over 10,000. Other large meetings followed and the movement quickly spread from Mayo to Connaught and then throughout the country. The Irish National Land League was founded in Dublin on 21st October, 1879, with C. S. Parnell as its president. The objects of the Land League were 1) to reduce rack rents and 2) to obtain the ownership of the soil by its occupiers, i.e. tenant ownership. During the Land War (1879-82), Davitt wrote that the landlords were “a brood of cormorant vampires that has sucked the life blood out of the country.” The Land League was a non-violent mass movement but it used the methods of publicity, moral intimidation and boycott against landlords and land grabbers who broke the Land League code. This popular movement achieved a remarkable degree of success. Within a generation of its founding, by the early 20th century, most of the tenant farmers of Ireland had become owners of their farms and the landlord system, which had dominated Ireland for centuries, had been ended.

  • 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.

STUDIES IN lEISH CKANIOLOGY: THE ARAN ISLANDS, CO. GALWAY.* By PROFESSOR A. C. HADDON. [Eead December 12, 1892.] The following is the first of a series of communications which I pro- pose to make to the Academy on Irish Craniology. It is a remarkable fact that there is scarcely an obscure people on the face of the globe about whom we have less anthropographical information than we have of the Irish. Three skulls from Ireland are described by Davis and Thumam in the “Crania Britannica” (1856-65); six by J. Aitken Meigs in his ‘ ‘ Catalogue of Human Crania in the Collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia ” two by J. Van der Hoeven (1857) ; in his “ Catalogus craniorum diversarum gentium” (1860); thirty- eight (more or less fragmentary), and five casts by J. Barnard Davis in the “Thesaurus craniorum” (1867), besides a few others which I shall refer to on a future occasion. Quite recently Dr. W. Frazer has measured a number of Irish skulls. “ A Contribution to Irish Anthropology,” Jour. Roy. Soc. Antiquarians of Ireland, I. (5), 1891, p. 391.
