How sad to think that it may have 4 News been the the final wish and sentiment of so many down through the ages who through emigration or for whatever reason spent their lives abroad and never got to return home. 5 And Another Thing While visiting Denny during his illness, I paid a visit to the nearby National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire. The Arboretum is remarkably impressive, dedicated to honour the thousands of men and women who 6 Locating Living Descendants - sacrificed their lives in service during the Great War and others. There are Part Three thousands of names inscribed on various plaques, walls and memorials throughout the Arboretum and it is emotional to see the many Irish surnames of those who died so very far away from home. 10 Tracing Your Donegal Ancestors The National Library launched the digitised images of the microfilmed Catholic parish registers in July.

It will commence from the existing Portlaoise Bypass and tie in with the N7 Castletown–Nenagh road scheme, south of Borris in Ossory, and the M8 Cullahill–Cashel Motorway scheme, south of Cullahill. The M7/M8 scheme is the largest infrastructural project to be undertaken in County Laois. The proposed motorway is routed through a rural landscape, with the existing land use being almost exclusively agricultural. Villages and settlements in the environs of the motorway include Borris in Ossory, Cullahill, Ballycolla, Aghaboe and Clogh. The landscape is characterised by well-drained, gently undulating, broad valleys, giving rise to good-quality pastureland and pockets of bogland.

Much of its work for 2002 does not get underway until July onwards and no doubt more points could be gained if planning took account of June/July adjudication dates. Nevertheless, Stradbally has had considerable benefit from the Tidy Town Committee's undertaking of manageable projects from year to year. It is a most pleasant village to visit and has much of interest particularly in its historic connections with 19th. century industrial architecture and machinery. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT The trees towards centre of village give a welcoming introduction to the village. The Garda station looks fine and the trees along footpath past Credit Union Building are maturing well. Redevelopment work is ongoing at the stone works premise beside the Market House Square. Market House roof is in need of repainting. No doubt the grain mill with its unusual skyline silo will be recognised as an unusual example of 19th century industrial architecture while the Malt House on the opposite side has already achieved this status.
