Decorating Killasser Church for Christmas We will be decorating the Church for Christmas from 4pm to 9pm or 10pm or until we have finished on Thusday 14th Dec in Killasser Chruch. We are very grateful to the families of those who will be making 1st Communion next April who have offered to help us during this time as well as those who always helps us. Anyone else may help as well. Offertory Collection for last week amounted to €1,138.95. Thanks to all who contributed. Work at Killasser Church in advance of Jubilee Plans are at an advanced stage for the preparation for the 150th celebrations to be held on the 3rd November 2018. It is also proposed to have a gathering in mid August and other events to celebrate the occasion. Work is due to commence in early January on the exterior to include demolishing the existing toilet and building a New Disabled Toilet, Boundary Walls with Entrance and Exit facility, Natural Stone Pillars. This project has been awarded to the Goldrick Brothers. Cost is over 30,000 Euro. Further discussion will take place on the interior of the Church. If all PAYE and self-employed workers would sign the Revenue Certificate available at the church door, this would be a great help towards the funding of the project. It will not interfere with their taxes and will not involve any contact between them and Revenue. The Revenue office will repay to the church, which is a registered charity, a percentage of all monies the taxpayer has paid to Revenue. St Stephen's Day Walk The annual walk on St Stephen's Day will begin this year at the Killasser Community Centre at 12 noon. We hope that everyone will join in this fun event and enjoy some refreshments afterwards in the Community Centre. The proceeds from the walk will be given to the Killasser Church Jubilee fund to help with the refurbishment work which will begin soon. Killasser/Callow Annual Christmas Party is on Dec 17th in Frank's place. Three course meal served at 6 o'clock followed by music and dance.

  • The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850
    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity. THE POTATO CROP THE POTATO CROP PERSECUTION Mayo Constitution (11-11-1845) TO THE EDITOR OF AND STARVATION The Telegraph (19-8-1846) In some cases the damage is found, on THE CONSTITUTION Rathbane, 29th December, 1845 digging out the potatoes, to be only On Monday last upwards of 500 poor, partial, in other cases the injury and loss wretched, emaciated human beings are, very great.

  • Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy
    Draft Mayo County Development Plan 2021-2027 CHAPTER 2 CORE AND SETTLEMENT STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy for the County Development Plan has been prepared through extensive collaboration between the Forward Planning team, Elected Members and all relevant sections of the Council. It has also been informed by the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Northern and Western Region, the UN Sustainable Goals and the Strategic Economic Drivers influencing the sustainable future growth of County Mayo over the lifetime of the plan and beyond. The challenge is to build on the unique dispersed settlement characteristics of Mayo, in order to provide a balance, link and synergy between the rural countryside and urban settlements of the County. This will be realised through the following vision for County Mayo and the strategic aims set out below. 2.2 Vision of County Mayo ‘To create a sustainable and competitive county that supports the health and well-being of the people of Mayo, providing an attractive destination, as a place in which to live, work, invest, do business and visit, offering high quality employment and educational opportunities within strong and vibrant sustainable communities, whilst ensuring a transition to a low carbon and climate resilient county that supports high environmental quality.’ 2.3 Strategic Aims The strategic aims which relate to the advancement of this vision, are set out hereunder for each chapter of Volume 1 of the County Development Plan. The Plan aims to build on previous successes and to strengthen Mayo’s strategic advantage as a county, to ensure that we meet the needs of our citizens, communities, built and natural environments, infrastructure and economic/employment development to their full potential, while combatting and adapting to climate change.

  • Address to the Clan Egan 2008
    ADDRESS TO THE CLAN EGAN MEETING - JUNE 29, 2008 BY CHARLES EGAN. Clan Egan 2008 The Famine in Mayo An Egan Story First of all, this is a slightly different story. It is not a story of the Egans as lawyers or anything else like that. It is the story of a poor - a dirt poor - family in County Mayo. A totally different story. • Introduction – Egan Family 1590 -1945 • Famine in Mayo 1845 -1847 Unlike most of you, I was never interested in genealogy. Quite the reverse. I think most of you get to the stage when you retire, you have a bit of time on your hands, and you suddenly start thinking - ‘Hey, not only do we not know where we are going, we don’t even know where we came from!’ Well, I am afraid with me it wasn’t like that. I had no interest in genealogy whatsoever. Genealogy came after me. It did that twice. It tapped at my shoulder and said ‘Hey you, come here, I want you.’ It did that in such a way that on one occasion it surprised me, and on the second occasion it shocked me. So as I say, I would prefer to get away from it all, but it just never let me. The first time it did that was back in about 1962, and the second time was in about 1990. Michael J.S. suggested that I should show you where we are talking about. Most of the Egans are from up here around Offaly and North Tipperary, and we are now just there, right on the banks of the Shannon.
