    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • Brother Jerome Fitzpatrick 1878-1910 by Barry Coldrey
    ROTHER JEROME n 1910, an unusually gifted young Christian Brother died in Dublin of tuber- culosis. In the previous thirteen years he had pro- duced no fewer than eleven textbooks, on his own initiative or in collaboration with others, the first of them when he was nineteen years of age. Yet he was not proclaimed within the order for his achievements, and even the Gaelic League accorded him but a slight remembrance."' There were reasons why Br. Jerome Fitzpatrick was largely ignored within the Congregation at his death in 1910. In the preliminaries for the general chapter of that same year he was considered among the radicals of the order - both in his politics and towards contemporary questions of religious life. He was not elected to the chapter. In the event, that general chapter was deeply divided on some issues and Brother Jerome was associated with the minority group. In a post-chapter atmosphere of divisiveness and bitterness a number of Brothers left the order - and Brother Jerome died. His necrology "Life" was written by a member of the general council. It was short and bland, a mere four pages, quite inadequate to do justice to its subject. When the necrology was printed, in a number of communities, Br. Jerome's "Life" was torn from the book by his friends; better he remain little known that that he be dammed with faint praise. Unaware of these proceedings, but aware of his son's commitment, Brother Jerome's father had remarked: "My son was a great fighter for lost cause^".'^' Man in religious life remains a uolitical animal and the brokenness of the human condition permeates the cloister on occasions.
