Tipperary News Part 6
Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout. -

Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark. -

CURRENT TRENDS 2.0 Introduction This Chapter Examines a Range Of
South Tipperary County Development Plan 2009-2015. CHAPTER 2: CURRENT TRENDS 2.0 Introduction This chapter examines a range of statistics in order to set out the baseline data, which has been considered during the formulation of the policies and objectives contained in the County Development Plan. Trends examined relate to existing and projected population, demographic profiles, employment and education. 2.1 Population The population of South Tipperary exceeded 83,000 in 2006 for the first time since 1926. This increase has been largely influenced by inward net migration amounting to 7,236 persons and representing 8.7% of the county population. The population growth for the county over the period 2002-2006 was 5.2% and the population of South Tipperary now accounts for 18% of the total for the South East Region. From Table 2.1 the growth rate of South Tipperary, in Table 2.1 Census Results 2002 - 2006 comparison with other south east counties, does not appear remarkable Increase but it is recognised that a proportion of Area 2002 2006 Actual % the growth attributed to the other South counties within the region is influenced Tipperary 79,121 83,221 4,100 5.2 by commuting patterns to Dublin and 2 Cork.

The Bowles of Valcartier's Roots in Ireland
The Bowles of Valcartier’s Roots in Ireland by Tom LaPorte March, 2016 At least 10 years ago I was told that the Bowles of Valcartier had a family reference, perhaps in a family bible that their ancestor who came to Canada, John Bowles, had been born about 1790 to parents, Joseph Bowles and Ellen Mackey of Springhill, County Tipperary, Ireland. I have never been able to find any proof of that until this month when the Roman Catholic Church registers kept at the National Library of Ireland were finally made available and searchable on the findmypast.com website. Although there were no records in the database for Springhill I found that the closest Roman Catholic Church to Springhill was at Killenaule. In the Killenaule registers I found that the family tradition was correct. John Bowles bp. Sept. 14, 1790 Killenaule, co. Tipperary; parents: Joseph Bowles and Ellena Mackey Godmother: Maria Phelan One researcher stated that John Bowles was b. between 1788 and 1791 and that he married a Mary Pollard at Gortnahoe Parish and their first child was born there about 1817. Fortunately, the Gortnahoe Parish Registers are also in the newly available Irish Church Records database. I found John Bowles and Mary Pollard’s marriage there in 1814. Feb. 15, 1814 John Bowles, labourer/collier (ie. coal miner) m. Mary Pollard, both of The Commons Feb. 15, 1814 Gortnahoe Parish Witnesses: Patrick Fogarty, Patrick Pollard and David Bowles It’s significant that David Bowles, who must have been a brother or cousin of John’s, signed as a witness at this baptism in a Catholic Church. -

'B' Captain Company 1st Battalion, 3rd Tipperary Brigade, 1917-1921. Subject. Fethard Company Irish Volunteers, Co. Tipperary, 1917-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil S.2718 File No. FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY PATRICK RYAN, Kerry St.. Fethard, Co. Tipperary, Captain 'B' Company, 1st Battn., 3rd Tipperary Brigade. On a night in the early summer of 1917 I attended a meeting which was held in a place called Downey's Barn at Clamps Castle, Fethard. This meeting was called for the purpose of organising an Irish Volunteer company in Fethard and district, and, if I mistake not, the late Paddy Hogan of Cashel, afterwards Commandant of the 2nd Battalion, Was one of those principally concerned In arranging the meeting. He was certainly present that night and was, as far as I can now remember, the principal speaker. The meeting itself was a small one, as for obvious reasons only a selected number of men were invited to attend. I should say, however, that there were about twenty men present, all of whom agreed to become members of the Volunteer organisation In the election of officers which followed I was elected as Captain of the company, James Keating of Brookhill was elected 1st Lieutenant, James Tierney of Fethard was elected Company Adjutant and Tommy Lee of Fethard was elected Quartermaster. Company There was no activity of note at that time. After the company was formed weekly parades were held, generally at Downey's Barn, and training in foot drill was engaged in.
