  • A History of the O'shea Clan (July 2012)
    A History of the O’Shea Clan (July 2012) At the beginning of the second millennium in the High Kingship of Brian Boru, there were three distinct races or petty kingdoms in what is now the County of Kerry. In the north along the Shannon estuary lived the most ancient of these known as the Ciarraige, reputed to be descendants of the Picts, who may have preceded the first Celts to settle in Ireland. On either side of Dingle Bay and inland eastwards lived the Corcu Duibne1 descended from possibly the first wave of Celtic immigration called the Fir Bolg and also referred to as Iverni or Erainn. Legend has it that these Fir Bolg, as we will see possibly the ancestors of the O’Shea clan, landed in Cork. Reputedly small, dark and boorish they settled in Cork and Kerry and were the authors of the great Red Branch group of sagas and the builders of great stone fortresses around the seacoasts of Kerry. Finally around Killarney and south of it lived the Eoganacht Locha Lein, descendants of a later Celtic visitation called Goidels or Gaels. Present Kerry boundary (3) (2) (1) The territories of the people of the Corcu Duibne with subsequent sept strongholds; (1) O’Sheas (2) O’Falveys (3) O’Connells The Eoganacht Locha Lein were associated with the powerful Eoganacht race, originally based around Cashel in Tipperary. By both military prowess and political skill they had become dominant for a long period in the South of Ireland, exacting tributes from lesser kingdoms such as the Corcu Duibne.

  • Bibliomara: an Annotated Indexed Bibliography of Cultural and Maritime Heritage Studies of the Coastal Zone in Ireland
    BiblioMara: An annotated indexed bibliography of cultural and maritime heritage studies of the coastal zone in Ireland BiblioMara: Leabharliosta d’ábhar scríofa a bhaineann le cúltúr agus oidhreacht mara na hÉireann (Stage I & II, January 2004) Max Kozachenko1, Helen Rea1, Valerie Cummins1, Clíona O’Carroll2, Pádraig Ó Duinnín3, Jo Good2, David Butler1, Darina Tully3, Éamonn Ó Tuama1, Marie-Annick Desplanques2 & Gearóid Ó Crualaoich 2 1 Coastal and Marine Resources Centre, ERI, UCC 2 Department of Béaloideas, UCC 3 Meitheal Mara, Cork University College Cork Department of Béaloideas Abstract BiblioMara: What is it? BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.

  • Ruins, Runes and Tunes
    2020 Spirit of Ireland: A Healing Journey Ruins, Runes and Tunes Glenveigh Castle, Glenveigh National Park, County Donegal, Ireland Tour Dates: June 13-24, 2020 Tour Destination: This year’s trip will take us to County Donegal (with a day in County Antrim and the Giant’s Causeway) to see many magical sights which we don’t normally visit on the Spirit of Ireland Tours, as well as immerse in the wonderful Irish culture. This is a tour NOT to be missed. What Makes Our Tours So Special: We come together on this sacred pilgimage as a group of healers, from all walks of life, to bring healing energies of love and compassion to the energetic Celtic ley lines (also known as farie lines) located at various sacred sites in Ireland. We participate in several sacred ceremonies including poetry, music, meditation and songs to connect heart to heart in this most magical place called the Emerald Isle. Traditional music is a big part of this tour, for the most authentic Irish expereince. People often say that traveling to Ireland is like stepping back in time to a land steeped in rich culture, history and spirituality; a less rushed lifestyle in a magical setting, where people meet you with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. Everyone who has traveled with us on previous excursions describes this trip as a life-changing event in their lives; the memories and friendships forged will last a lifetime. Tour Itinerary: Our tour itinerary is still being finalized, but sights on the agenda include the Beltane Stone Circle, Glenveagh National Park, Slieve League, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle, Leo’s Tavern, and lots of great traditional Irish music.

Glasra 2: 43-48. publication date 5. v. 1978 ABSTRACT. Biographical notes on the Irish botanist, H. W. Lett (1836-1920), are given. His bryophyte herbarium, containing c. 15,000 specimens, is at Glasnevin (DBN). About three quarters of the collection is Irish, the rest being foreign material acquired by exchange.

INTRODUCTION The herbarium of Canon H. W. Lett was acquired by the Irish National Herbarium [Then at the National Museum of Science and Art.] in 1921. It contained about 1,000 specimens of flowering plants and “a large, number” of bryophytes, The flowering plants were given the Reg. No.435 as was a collection of c. 600 Sphagnum specimens named according to the Warnstorfian system by J. A. Wheldon (vide Johnson, 1923, 55-61). This Sphagnum collection, already incorporated in the general herbarium at DBN was revised and annotated by Miss E. M. Lobley in 1968 (Lobley and Fitzgerald, 1970).
