  • 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.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • “I Wish You a Happy National Bank Holiday Weekend” ……
    Parish of Kilmovee Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly Conception, Kilmovee St. Patrick’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church Glann Urlaur MISSION STATEMENT he Parish of Kilmovee is a Christian Community, committed to making everyone welcome through meeting in liturgy, prayer and friendship as we bear witness to the love and compassion of Jesus T Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 2nd Sunday of Lent – 16th March 2014 “I wish you a happy National Bank Holiday Weekend” …… I was in the car today and heard a well known Radio Presenter close his show with those words. It seemed a contrived and long-winded way of saying “Happy St Patrick’s Day”!! Of course, to do that, might be considered politically incorrect and, possibly even more of an offence, an indication that something of our Sacred Story was being acknowledged. It is quite common in some countries to exchange the greeting “Happy Holidays” around the third week of December!! Again, political correctness, secular tipp-ex, seems to distance, through silence, the reason for the holiday. So where are we with this? Will we celebrate “Paddys”, “Paddy’s Day”, “Drown the Shamrock” …. ? Or, will we let the name be heard? It’s not just a choice for this week. It’s a choice we are called to make each day. Let the name - the Holy Name be spoken! Let our voice be heard! Rtin Directors: Fr. Kieran Holmes, Killala opportunities for adults and school Diocese and Fr.

  • Principal's Message
    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Welcome to the Ballyhaunis Community School Yearbook 2019. Once again Mr. Ginty has assembled a crack squad of students and teachers to chronicle the more memorable events of the past academic year. This is indeed a mammoth task given the scope and number of activities that have occurred since last September. But once again they have all risen to the task and I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing through the pages of this year’s publication. What promised to be one of the most exciting year’s in the School’s history unfortunately turned out to be one of the darkest. On a foggy morning in January our dear colleague Anne Grogan was involved in a serious car accident that would ultimately lead to her life being cut tragically short. Her untimely passing had a profound effect on the whole school community which reflected the high regard in which Anne was held by all. Anne was an excellent teacher and a wonderful colleague. We miss her good humour, her wonderful sense of fun but above all we miss her friendship. Our loss is huge but pales into insignificance when compared to that of the Grogan and Keane family’s. They are all in our prayers and we ask that God sustains them in the days and years ahead. Although Anne may be gone her spirit lives on in BCS. It lives on through the dedication and professionalism of the teaching staff. It lives on through the kindness and generosity of the student body. These are all qualities that were synonymous with Anne and we honour her by living up to these on a day to day basis.

  • Lost and Found
    Parish of Kilmovee Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly “A family of families” Conception, Kilmovee St. Patrick’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church Glann Urlaur MISSION STATEMENT he Parish of Kilmovee is a Christian Community, committed to making everyone welcome through meeting in liturgy, prayer and friendship as we bear witness to the love and Tcompassion of Jesus Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 18th August 2019 20th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME LOST AND FOUND he gospel at Mass on Tuesday last was about the shepherd with one hundred sheep, losing one and searching for it until he found it. The image presented was of a man, happy with the find and T pleased to restore the sheep to the flock. It is said that the shepherd can identify each sheep - the Lord would say, by name and Pope Francis often reminds bishops and priests that they should know “the smell of the sheep” - in other words, know their people. There is something important being said in that; something about knowing the lives of the people among whom we live. In thinking about that gospel I had an image of a field filled with things and people that are important to us. Maybe family, health, friendship, love, faith, peace, joy, strength and so much more. Imagine something going missing from that field. For example friendship with someone. The shepherd in all of us is asked to leave the field and search for what is missing. This may well mean leaving the other gifts behind in the field so that the searching may be done.

  • How Lucky Am I???
    Parish of Kilmovee “A family of families” Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly Conception, Kilmovee St. Patrick’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church Glann Urlaur MISSION STATEMENT he Parish of Kilmovee is a Christian Community, committed to making everyone welcome through meeting in liturgy, prayer and friendship as we bear witness to the love Tand compassion of Jesus Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. First Sunday of Lent - 5th March 2017 HOW LUCKY AM I??? Did you ever get one of those emails asking you to share your bank details so that someone can lodge a few million euro in your account and, in return, will give you a percentage of the fund? What brought that on? You might well ask. I just got one as I’m working on the newsletter. The poor girl’s dad has died but he left her $9million and if I can send her a letter, inviting her to come and live here, she will lodge the funds to my own account and give me 20% for my trouble. It’s deleted of course but you wonder why people keep sending these messages and the answer lies in the truth that some people respond. Even one in a few thousand must make it all worthwhile. We are warned not to engage with scams like this and to be vigilant. I noticed a message along theses lines on kilmovee.info during the week and on the twitter account. It was about people calling and asking “Can you hear me?” and if you say “Yes” the caller tries to scam you.
