Cork Situated in the province of Munster, County Cork is the largest and southernmost county in Ireland. It is also the third most populated county in Ireland. The southwest region, including West Cork, is one of Ireland’s main tourist destinations. The county is sometimes known as the “People’s Republic of Cork” because of the county’s frontline role in the Irish War of Independence (1919-21). Both Gaelic Football and Hurling are popular sports in County Cork, and the Cork teams are among the best in the country. The county colours are red and white, and the Gaelic Football and Hurling teams wear these colours when they play against other counties. Cork is home to the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle. Legend has it that kissing the Blarney Stone will make you a skilful, persuasive speaker. Cobh is also a popular destination, as it was the port where many Irish emigrants boarded for their voyage to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or the United States. County Cork has the only wildlife park in Ireland, Fota Wildlife Park located on Fota Island.

    The Kellys The Kellys he Kelly family has Irish roots. An examination of Irish records shows that as recently as 1900, TKelly was the second most common name in Ireland (Murphy was fi rst) and there were Kellys located in many areas of Ireland. According to the “Irish Family Names Directory,” Kelly was predominantly found in the counties of Derry, Galway, Leix and Meath, with Galway being the largest concentration. Signifi cant numbers can also be identifi ed with Counties Donegal and Roscommon. These are all areas that are in the midlands to northern regions of the country towards the West. There are also some Kellys who hailed from West Cork where the famous IRA revolutionary Michael Collins called “home.” All of these areas were Gaelic-speaking well into the 1800s. Prior research about the Kellys was unclear about the exact location of their home in Ireland. It remains unspecifi ed but we have made progress (see below). Various individual recollections formed most of the evidence, including my aunt & cousin Bessie Kelly Beirne (1893-1986). Some of these indicate that our Kelly ancestors declared that they were from Clonakilty, County Cork, Ireland. The Immigration and Naturalization Service and several census year records indicate the year of immigration but not the specifi c birthplace. Some local cemeteries and headstones as well as some newspapers record the Kelly origins as Ireland, County Cork and/or Ballymacarder (sic). It should be noted that none of our immigrant ancestors could read or write and may have responded to census and INS questions with the last location that they recall in Ireland.

  • Topical Issue Debate with Minister Ross
    Topical Issue Debate Transport Infrastructure Provision 3:00 pm Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) Link to this: Individually | In context | Oireachtas source I welcome the opportunity to speak to this matter. The R630 is a regional road linking Whitegate with the N25, a national primary road at Midleton, and Lakeview roundabout in east Cork, which serves the Cork to Rosslore Europort via Waterford city. This regional road from Whitegate also carries traffic from adjoining areas such as Upper Aghada, Lower Aghada, Rostellan, Saleen, Ballycotton, Clyne and Ballinacurra, just to mention a few locations. Whitegate village can boast to be the home of the only oil refinery in Ireland but the most startling fact is that it accounts for over 40% of Cork's road tonnage, and it travels on the R630 all year around. There is also Aghada power station, which is Ireland's largest, and this means the regional route is extremely busy. The Minister can understand why. Unfortunately, all this traffic must enter the N25 at Lakeview roundabout at Midleton, which is constantly choked with long tailbacks every morning. Midleton town council had approached what was then the National Roads Authority, now Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, a number of years ago about having an extra slip lane at the junction between the R630 Whitegate route and the N25 to alleviate this very problem. Unfortunately, over the years nothing has happened. The commuters who use this route day in and day out have grown very frustrated with the lack of progress. More worrying is the question of safety in the area, particularly with regard to emergency services and the ambulance service in Midleton.
