ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO.W.S. 1,371 Witness John McCormack, Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick. Identity. Commandant Second Battalion, East Clare Brigade. Subject Irish Volunteer activities, Clonlara, East Clare, 1915-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2686 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JOHN McCORMACK Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick formerly Commandant, 2nd Battalion and Captain of Clonlara (A) Company, 2nd Battalion, East Clare Brigade. I was born on 23rd September 1898, at Cappavilla House, Clonlara, Co. Clare, where my father was an extensive farmer. I believe it was while I was attending the Christian Brothers Schools in Limerick city that I joined the Fianna Boy Scouts. About the commencement of 1917, I became a member of the Irish Volunteers when a company was established his in Clonlara by Michael Brennan immediately after release from jail in England. I was the first captain of that company. Though I served right through the Anglo-Irish struggle up to the Truce in July 1921, as a company and battalion officer and as a member of the East Clare flying column, and participated in all the major engagements of that brigade, I do not feel fit enough to attempt an account of my experiences in the fight for independence. There was one encounter, however, in which I happened to be in charge of the I.R.A. forces about which my memory is quite clear and I am prepared to record all that I know about it.

Curses on the Mcinerney Family of Co Clare: a Folktale from Sixmilebridge
N.M.A.J. vol. 50, 2010 1 Curses on the McInerney family of Co Clare: A folktale from Sixmilebridge LUKE McINERNEY An early nineteenth-century folktale from Co Clare is translated and published for the first time. The historical context and main themes of the story are outlined and a possible historical basis is suggested. A translation of the original Irish language is provided and a comparison made with other tales from the area. Introduction The fortuitous recording of a folktale in 18251 has been preserved amongst the collection of family documents relating to the O’Briens of Leamanagh and Dromoland, Co. Clare, in the National Library of Ireland.2 The collection comprises a miscellany of verse, Ossianic poetry and tales in English from the oral tradition compiled by Sir Lucius O’Brien in c.1842. What is remarkable about this particular folktale is that it was committed to paper prior to the establishment of ethnographic folklore as a field of research. The folktale was recorded almost a century prior to the work of notable Co. Clare folklorists such as T.J. Westropp and Séamus Ó Duilearga, and prior to the Ordnance Survey visitation to Clare in 1839 which provided a ‘digest’ of folklore and topographical history of the county. Antiquarian interest in the folklore of Co. Clare has a strong tradition. It was noted by John O’Donovan in 1839 when compiling the Ordnance Survey that the ‘ancient traditions [of Co. Clare] are very vivid’.3 O’Donovan remained enthusiastic that the history of Clare was not extirpated due to transplantation and upheaval but still resonated on account that the “ancient proprietors were never driven out”.4 A landed Gaelic gentry, though anglicized but conscious of its past, were sometimes sympathetic to rural traditions.
