The study has been carried out in a pleasant academic environment for which I am mainly grateful to Ms. Mary MacCague, Head of School of Humanities. Needless to say, other academic and support staff (mainly in the Library and Reprographic Services) at GMIT have also contributed to the successful completion of this investigation. I would also like to express my gratitude for the financial assistance this study obtained from GMIT’s ‘Internal Research Development Fund 2005: Sub Programme B, Masters Research Funding Programme’. I am also indebted to the many stakeholders who provided information through informal meetings or recorded interviews. I would like to particularly thank Ms. Marie Mannion, Heritage Officer with Galway County Council, for sharing with me her knowledge and fine expertise of the genealogical industry in County Galway and for donating 300 brochures of the Galway County Cultural Trail (that were presented to the respondents to the questionnaire survey), and to Mr. Jim Higgins, Heritage Officer with Galway City Council, for an informative interview about his views on Irish genealogy. My special thanks go to Ms. Joan Sharkey, a member of APGI, and a GAS advisor, for giving me an ad-hoc interview in the National Library of Ireland and assisting with organising the survey of genealogy tourists in the National Archives of Ireland, and to Ms. Aideen Ireland, for conducting the survey therein on my behalf. Other stakeholders who kindly gave me their time to discuss their views with me and to whom I am very grateful are: Ms. Kellyann McGrory, representing IGL, Ms. Maire MacConghail, member of APGI and a GAS advisor, Ms. Sarah Gillespie, Director of the Galway City Museum, Ms. Mary Murray, Manager of Galway Family History Society West Ltd. and Ms. Siobhan McGuiness, Genealogist therein, Mr. Pat Bergin, Manager of Training Centre, Community Services, FAS in Galway City, Ms. Sorcha Murray, Marketing Manager of Galway East Tourism, who also donated 70 brochures of the Galway East Visitor Guide (that were presented to the respondents to the questionnaire survey), Ms. Ciara O’Mahony, Tourism Officer, Ireland West Tourism (who also assisted in obtaining a permission to carry out the questionnaire survey from the Ireland West Tourism), Ms. Josephine de Courcey, one of the Directors of Connemara Tourism, Ms. Monica Hynes, Manager of East Galway Family History Society Ltd. and Ms. Mary Whelan, Genealogist therein, Ms. Karen Smyth, former Marketing Manager of Galway East Tourism and currently Sales & Marketing Manager of Aran Islands Direct, Mr. Bernard O’Hara, Registrar in GMIT and President of the Galway Archaeological and Historical Society, and Ms. Nicola Allen, Planning Manager of Tourism Ireland. Thanks are also due to all the staff at Ireland West Tourism, who were very supportive throughout the course of the questionnaire survey that I conducted at the Ireland West Tourism premises in Forster Street, Galway City. My thanks also go to Ms. Mary Ellen Grogan, representative of TIARA, for her arrangements regarding a focus group interview with some of the researchers participating in the 2006 TIARA genealogical research trip to Dublin, to Mr. George B. Handran, expert on Griffith’s Valuation, for sharing with me his expertise knowledge on the subject, and to all those North-American genealogy researchers who talked with me about their hard work as well as joy and disappointments when researching their ancestry in Ireland. These visitors provided comprehensive feedback on both their genealogical research and their visitor experience, and therefore brought much light into this investigation. I am also very grateful to Sr. Theresa Delaney, Chairperson of Western Family History Association, for an opportunity to meet up with their members, and for inviting me to give a presentation on this research to their AGM in January 2007 in Oranmore, County Galway.

  • Appendix C Chapter 8 Public Participation
    Public Participation Overview Extensive information-gathering sessions were held in the community during the data collection and analysis phase of the Downtown Strategic Plan. Individual and small group interviews were held throughout April 2008, a project website (coordinated by the Village) was created to inform citizens about the planning process and allow public feedback via email, and a three-day Main Street Design Studio and Charette event was held at 476 Main Street. In addition, a Downtown Advisory Committee (DAC) was formed by the Village Board to serve as a “sounding board” for feedback on ideas prepared by the consulting team. The DAC is comprised of many volunteer community stakeholders including: merchants, property owners, other business representatives, members of various community and Downtown organizations, and citizens. Public participation is an important component of the entire planning process, including post-plan adoption implementation. Interviews One- to two-hour interview sessions were held with various individuals and organizations. In general, the shorter meetings were held in one-on-one settings, and the longer meetings were held in group settings. General and organization-specific questions were prepared for each interview to provide a guide to the discussion; however, open-ended discussion was encouraged as well. In addition, a Downtown Glen Ellyn map and red markers were made available for participants to put their thoughts about the Downtown on paper. Participant List The following individuals and groups participated in interviews at the Glen Ellyn Civic Center. The one exception was the location of the Go Downtown! group interview, which was held at Figo Ristorante on Main Street.

ENEAS MACKAY, STIRLING 1911 PRINTKD AT THE " NORTHERN OHRONIOLB " OFFICE, INYBRNESS PREFACE The following Etymology of the Principal Gaelic ISTational Names, Personal Names, and Surnames was originally, and still is, part of the Gaelic EtymologicaJ Dictionary by the late Dr MacBain. The Disquisition on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland first appeared in the Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, and, later, as a pamphlet. The Publisher feels sure that the issue of these Treatises in their present foim will confer a boon on those who cannot have access to them as originally published. They contain a great deal of information on subjects which have for long years interested Gaelic students and the Gaelic public, although they have not always properly understood them. Indeed, hereto- fore they have been much obscured by fanciful fallacies, which Dr MacBain's study and exposition will go a long way to dispel.
