  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2019 Updated November 2019
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2019 Updated November 2019 To be forgotten is to die twice In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”.

  • 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.

In total, 77 sites were visited, and an area of 437.5m2 was surveyed. Lampreys were present at 49% of the sites investigated. • Juvenile lampreys have a patchy distribution in the Corrib catchment. A total of 33 out of the 38 survey areas (87%) that had lampreys present were tributaries and sub-tributaries of the Lough Corrib sub-catchment. Lampreys were present at five sites investigated in the Lough Mask sub-catchment (13%), and no lampreys were recorded in the Lough Carra sub- catchment. The general distribution recorded during the current the survey is broadly similar to that recorded by Byrne et al (2000). • Only one species of lamprey was confirmed from the Corrib catchment: brook lamprey Lampetra planeri.

  • Historical Documents & Artefacts
    Historical Documents & Artefacts 55 Guidon of Costello Volunteers, County Mayo. An 18th century silk swallow tailed flag of a form typically carried by light cavalry regiments. The obverse with black ground with scalloped, shamrock-bordered cartouche centred by a mounted Volunteer offering his services to Hibernia, beneath Gaelic script ‘Mo Rish agus mo Thir’, which roughly translates as my king and my country; the reverse with red ground and a gilt Maid-of-Erin harp beneath ‘Costello Volunteers’, within a border of shamrock. The Costello family who gave their name to the Barony of Costello in County Mayo were originally Nangles, or de Angulos who came to the area with the Normans in the 12th century. The first reference to this family is in the Annals of the Four Masters in 1193. The sons of one of the first Nangles, Gilbert de Nangle, became known as the Oistealb, and gave rise to the surname Mac Oisdealbh, later MacOisdealbhaigh, anglicised to MacCostello. It was the first recorded instance of a Norman family assuming an Irish ‘Mac’ name. Thenceforward, they became thoroughly Irish. The MacCostello land was in the part of Mayo now known as the Barony of Costello until the end of the 16th century. In 1565, their seat of power was near Ballaghaderreen (now part of County Roscommon). Their name, although the Mac has now been dropped, is a common surname in both Mayo and County Galway where it is usually spelt with an extra ‘e’ at the end. The Costelloes were one of the many great Irish families [which, during the seventeenth century destruction of everything Gaelic, produced famous rapparees who fought against Oliver Cromwell and the parliamentarians.

Roscommon Liam Ó hAisibéil Introduction Roscommon is one of five counties comprising the province of Connacht, bounded to the west by the counties of Galway and Mayo, by Sligo and Leitrim at all points to the north, and by Leitrim, Longford, Westmeath to the east, and counties Offaly and Galway to the south. Around two thirds of the boundaries of Roscommon are defined by two significant rivers, namely the River Shannon to the east, and the River Suck which forms the southern and south-western boundaries of the county, formally established in the late-sixteenth century. Extensive tracts of peat, moorland, and areas of upland comprise its western and northern boundaries. Writing in 1832, the topographical writer Isaac Weld, describes the geographical character of the county as follows: ‘The mountains on the borders of Lough Allen, the Curlew mountains in the same district, the great sand- stone ridge of Slievebawn, extending through the baronies of Ballintobber and Roscommon, and Slievealuyn in the west, afford sure indications that the surface of the county is not devoid of inequality and variety.
