  • Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Access To
    Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Area Information Killybegs is situated on the North West Coast of Ireland with the newest harbour facility in the country which opened in 2004. The area around the deep fjord-like inlet of Killybegs has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The town was named in early Christian times, the Gaelic name Na Cealla Beaga referring to a group of monastic cells. Interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly in a region not short of native saints, the town’s patron saint is St. Catherine of Alexandria. St. Catherine is the patron of seafarers and the association with Killybegs is thought to be from the 15th Century which confirms that Killybeg’s tradition of seafaring is very old indeed. The area is rich in cultural & historical history having a long association with marine history dating back to the Spanish Armada. Donegal is renowned for the friendliness & hospitality of its people and that renowned ‘Donegal Welcome’ awaits cruise passengers & crew to the area from where a pleasant travel distance through amazing sea & mountain scenery of traditional picturesque villages with thatched cottages takes you to visit spectacular castles and national parks. Enjoy the slow pace of life for a day while having all the modern facilities of city life. Access to the area Air access Regular flights are available from UK airports and many European destinations to Donegal Airport which is approx an hour’s drive from Killybegs City of Derry Airport approx 1 hour 20 mins drive from Kilybegs International flights available to and from Knock International Airport 2 hours and 20 minutes drive with public transport connections.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.

  • Fintown Valley LCA 29 an Gaeltacht
    Fintown Valley LCA 29 An Gaeltacht Fintown Valley Landscape Character Area is a distinctive inland LCA defined by a chain of mountains in the North West and framed by Aghla and Screig Mountains along the south east, these upland areas are separated by Lough Finn and the River Finn on the valley floor mirroring the orientation of Gweebara Fault. The R252 through Carra Gap connects Doochary to the northwest via the R250 to Fintown on the shore of Lough Finn in the southeast of this LCA. High bog covered mountains overlook Lough Finn creating a dramatic and emotive landscape, particularly when viewed from the R250 along the Lough and the old Fintown railway, Donegal's only operational narrow gauge railway. This sparsely populated area has isolated residential dwellings on the fringe of agricultural land and along the regional roads with most of the development contained within the village of Fintown. Landscape Character types 149 Seascape Character Units Map/list Seascape units Part of Seascape Unit 12 encroaches on the very west of the landscape character area adjacent the Gweebara River. Key characteristics uses: Agricultural, tourism, forrestry and fishing. Coastal edge : There is no coastal edge within this LCA. Visibility: There are intermittent views from the coastal road. Special featuress significant buildings, landmarks, biodiversity and cultural features: Gweebarra salmonoid river, fresh water pearl mussel catchment area.

    YOUR DONEGAL FAMILY A GUIDE TO GENEALOGY SOURCES CULTURE DIVISION, DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL Donegal County Museum Collection The information contained in this publication was correct at the time of going to print. May 2020 A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Genealogy is the study of one’s ancestors or family history and is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors, they are able to make connections to historical events. Family History is the biographical research into your ancestors. The aim is typically to produce a well-documented narrative history, of interest to family members and perhaps future generations. It involves putting flesh on the skeleton of what is produced by genealogy and involves the study of the historical circumstances and geographical situation in which ancestors lived. As custodians of the collective memory of County Donegal, genealogy/ family history resources are an important Culture Division service. This booklet was produced by the Library, Archives and Museum Services of the Culture Division, Donegal County Council to provide a brief introduction to resources available within these services and to other resources and agencies that can help to guide researchers in tracing their Donegal family tree. While Donegal County Library, Donegal County Archives and the Donegal County Museum are happy to provide guidance and assistance, they are not genealogical institutions and in general they cannot conduct detailed research for individuals.

  • West Donegal Resource Survey
    WEST DONEGAL RESOURCE SURVEY Part 2—Some Aspects of Production—Crops, Livestock and Fisheries Published by An Foras Taluntais, 33 Merrion Road, Dublin 4 Price: 10/- March 1969 FOREWORD The continuing decline in population and the various physical, economic and social problems that beset many of our western counties have concerned people at all levels for more than a century now. Various studies of the problems have been conducted from time to time, remedies have been proposed and solutions sought and different approaches have been tried. Considerable national effort and finances are being devoted in various ways in an attempt to overcome the problems but these areas are still largely underdeveloped. The economic, social and cultural well-being of the people of these areas and of the entire nation stands to benefit from any development that can be achieved. Some of the most adverse conditions obtaining in the whole western region of Ireland are those to be found in West Donegal - an area poorly endowed in physical resources and reflecting all the ills of a high rate of emigration, an adverse population structure, an underdeveloped agriculture, low income levels and several other rural problems. Against this background, the Council of An Foras Taluntais decided that the com­ plex situation prevailing in West Donegal should be examined and appraised in a systematic, scientific manner and, having thoroughly analysed the findings and within the context of modern knowledge and techniques, some models for the agricultural development of the area should be established. While there was a certain background of experience and information on such problems as emigration and farm resources and income this knowledge was of a general nature, the position in this respect being akin to that for many other areas of the country.
