  • The County Clare Surname Culligan
    The County Clare surname, Culligan, also written as Quilligan Author: [email protected] The author is the voluntary administrator of a Colgan surname (including Culligan) male DNA project and would welcome the participation of males who bear the Culligan surname in the study; of course, the initiative for participating in the simple, and inexpensive DNA test may be taken by female relatives or Culligan families acting collectively to cover the testing fee by FamilyTreeDNA.com. Prefatory Note Is Culligan a version of Colgan? MacLysaght writes: “Quilligan, Ó Cuileagáin - This Thomond [regional] name is equally well known in its variant form, Culligan” [McLysaght, A Guide to Irish Surnames, 1994]. In Edward MacLysaght’s Supplement to Irish Families, 1994, he wrote: “Culligan, Quilligan – Both these variants of Ó Cuileagáin are Clare names and are mainly found in that county and.. Limerick city … A century ago Culligan was much more numerous that Quilligan but the numbers are now about equal. Woulfe regards the name as an attenuated form of O’Colgan (which is said, without evidence, to be more correctly MacColgan). This implies that the sept immigrated westwards from Offaly which is to some extent corroborated by a fiant of 1588 where one of that name living in King’s County obtained a pardon. An earlier fiant shows another O’Colligan among the many O’Connors whose location is not mentioned. They were, however, well established in West Clare in the 17th century .. as Cullegane is returned in Petty’s Census as a principal name in the barony of Clonderalaw, Ennis”. This, the author’s Colgan Chronology does not include the surname Quilligan within its ambit.

I was born in January, 1897, in the townland of Lickeen in the parish of Kilfenora. My people were farmers. I received my education at Cahershertin national school which I attended until I was about fifteen years of age, having reached the sixth standard. Our house was one in which the neighbours used to gather at night to discuss the events of the day and talk about old times. Some very old men comprised the gatherings and, as a youth, I was very interested in their accounts of Daniel O'Connell and his times, the Fenians, the various evictions in different parts of the locality, Parnell and Michael Davitt, the Land League, the Plan of Campaign and the Moonlighters. About the activities of the Lickeen Moonlighters, their trial and sentence, these old men told all they knew, and it was from them that I learned that my own people Were prominently connected with the physical force side of the Land League movement. My Uncle Michael was, in fact, one of the leaders of the Moonlighters in the district. As a consequence of what I had been listening to in the course of these fireside talks, I concluded that, if Ireland could get rid of the landlords, the "peelers" and the informers, the.

Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2386 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY ANTHONY MALONE, Ennis Road, Miltown-Malbay, Co. Clare. (Formerly Vice 0/C., 4th Battalion, Mid-Clare Brigade) I was born 64 years ago in the townland of Glendin, a like Mi1iltown-Malbay. My father was small farmer who, his people before him, never had to my knowledge any connection with national movements of the past. On the maternal side I had an uncle who was a member of the Fenian Brotherhood and he emigrated to Australia when he was a young man. At present I am the Rate Collector for the Miltown- Malbay district and my wife runs a grocer's shop at the above address. Along with the majority of the young men in the Miltown- Malbay district, I became interested in the movement for native government during the Home Rule agitation in the years prior to 1914. In those days I had a big regard for the national leader of the time John Redmond, and I became a member of the National Volunteers in Miltown-Malbay in 1914. Our instructors were British army reservists who rejoined the colours when the First World War broke out and their departure resulted in the cessation of the National Volunteer movement in the district.

  • Subcatchment Assessment
    WFD Cycle 2 Catchment Mal Bay Subcatchment Doonbeg_SC_010 Code 28_3 2UGQDQFH6XUYH\,UHODQG$OOULJKWVUHVHUYHG/LFHQFH1XPEHU(1 Generated on: 07 Nov 2018 1 Generated by WFD Application Assessment Purpose This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the second cycle of Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies, and with support from RPS consultants. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. They are based on information available to the end of 2015 but may be subject to change until the final 2018-21 river basin management plan is published. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues Four of the seven river water bodies in this subcatchment, as well as the one lake, are Not at Risk: Doonbeg_010, Doonbeg_020, Doonbeg_040, Doonbeg_050 and Namina Lough. The Kilmihil Stream_010 has Poor 2010-2015 ecological status and is noted to have increasing annual average concentrations of nutrients, particularly orthophosphate, and is therefore At Risk. Urban wastewater discharges are identified as the significant pressure, however the wastewater treatment plant is noted to have since been upgraded. The Investigative Assessment will monitor for a decline in nutrient concentrations as a result. Doonbeg_030 also has Poor 2010-2015 ecological status, and therefore the water body is At Risk. Chemistry data indicates nutrients are not an issue, however as the monitoring station is on a tributary in the upper reaches of the subbasin, the impacts are likely related to siltation from forestry operations.
