The first team recorded here were known as the Killana Shamrocks from the Greenpark area of the parish. Names such as O’Brien, Corcoran and Dillon were instrumental in the formation of this team in 1887. Around this period and in the early nineteen hundreds there were also teams established in Rathfeigh, Ross and Oberstown. Documentary evidence informs us that a Skryne team made its debut in the 1895 Senior Football Championship. Significantly this was the first time that Skryne appeared as a definitive team in an official Championship. Skryne, unfortunately had no great success in those early decades, although they did reach the Junior finals of 1910 and 1912, going down narrowly to Navan O’Growneys and Carnaross respectively. In 1931 Fr. McManus was transferred to the parish. He took a keen interest in the GAA and the development of the Skryne team. At this time many of the Skryne players featured with Curraha and Donaghmore. Fr. McManus managed to coax all the defecting players back to Skryne. Under Fr. Michael McManus’s management, Skryne reached the junior semi final of 1932 but lost to Navan De la Salle by a small margin. In 1933 Fr. McManus changed the Skryne jerseys from green and gold to the now famous blue. The enthusiasm within the Club knew no bounds as they swept through to the final of the Intermediate Championship. The final proper against Rathkenny ended in a draw, the replay did not take place until Easter Sunday 1934. Skryne emerged decisive winners and triumphantly brought the first Meath Championship title ever to the Club and the parish. Skryne qualified for the Feis Cup final against Martry in 1934. Interest in the final was so great that it is 2 SKRYNE GFC STRATEGIC PLAN 2014–2018 claimed to have been the biggest attendance ever at a Feis Cup final. The spectators were not disappointed – after a thrilling game the Tara men won their first Feis Cup by three points. Fr. McManus was transferred to Longwood in 1935, which was a devastating blow to the Skryne club. He returned to Skryne in 1937 as a guest of honour when the new pitch was opened in his name (Fr. Mc Manus Park). With the loss of a few prominent players, Skryne dropped back to Intermediate level in 1936. They bounced back to win the title in 1937 and thus regained Senior status in 1938, a position still jealously guarded to this day. Skryne won the Senior Championship for the first time in 1940 and now remarkably, 75 years later, the Club can celebrate their jubilee. In the golden era of the 1940s they won five more titles, 1941, 44, 45, 47 and 48 and collected the Feis Cup on six occasions. Although a formidable team in the 1950s, they managed only one senior title in 1954, losing in the final on seven occasions. The great Syddan and Navan O’Mahonys teams thwarted them on most occasions. The following decades of the sixties, seventies and eighties were barren except for one Championship win in 1965 and six Feis cups during this period. As All- Ireland champions in 1967, Meath were invited to tour Australia to represent Ireland. This was the first of the now regular international series. Skryne were represented on that pioneering trip by Paddy Mulvany, David Carty and Paddy Cromwell. Skryne had a powerful team in the eighties, contesting five finals, and were very unlucky not to have brought the Keegan Cup home on any of these occasions. After 27 years it all came good again for Skryne in 1992 when they won the Senior Championship for a ninth time. They retained the cup in 1993 beating Navan O’Mahonys in a final for the first time. Skryne added another title in 1999 beating neighbours Dunshaughlin. In the new millennium, Skryne captured the Keegan Cup on two occasions, 2004 and 2010 to give a grand total of thirteen titles. In underage football Skryne were just as successful. They won their first juvenile title in 1954. The most productive period was in the 1970s with all the underage championships coming their way, at under 14, 16, minor and under 21 levels. With the increase of Leagues and Championships, Skryne were well to the fore in winning many of those titles right up to 2015. The game of hurling flourished during the 30s, 40s and 50s. Under the name of Oberstown, the junior hurling championship came to the Club in 1936 and 1939. They added the Intermediate title in 1940 and only bad luck stopped them from winning a senior title during that period. Many of the Skryne players won Senior hurling medals with the combination outfit, St. Patricks, in 1953 and 54 and in later years with Kilmessan. As one of the king pins of Meath football, Skryne have a record never likely to be surpassed in the royal county. Meath’s historic first All Ireland Senior football championship win in 1949 was captained by a Skryne man, Brian Smyth. The team also included the legendary Paddy O’Brien and his cousin Michéal O’Brien. Skryne are the only club in Meath to have been represented on each of the seven All Ireland winning teams and also the seven National Football League winning teams. Eleven players from the Skryne club have amassed a total of eighteen All Ireland Senior football championship medals. In the Leinster Championship, the first medals were won by four players in 1939. Since that historic day the Club has gone from strength to strength. 24 players have won 64 Leinster Senior Championship Medals. It is a great honour for the Club to have dual All Ireland medal winners in Michéal O’Brien and Brian Smyth, Junior Hurling in 1948 and All Ireland Senior Football in 1949 and 54. Michéal holds the record having played in fourteen Senior finals and three replays with Skryne, a feat never likely to be repeated. Five players from the Skryne club – Colm O’Rourke, Kevin McCabe, Liam Hayes, Trevor Giles and John McDermot – have won twelve All-Star awards between them. Colm, in1991, and Trevor, in 1999, were named as the Texaco Footballer of the Year. Trevor was also chosen as the All Stars Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1999. The proud history of the GAA in Skryne is one of resilience and inspiration. SKRYNE GFC STRATEGIC PLAN 2014–2018 3 Skryne GFC Club Crest In 1984, to celebrate the Centenary of the GAA, Skryne adopted the Tara Brooch as their club crest. The team proudly donned jerseys with the crest for the senior final and the supporters also wore jumpers with the newly incorporated Tara Brooch displayed on the front. On reading the history of Skryne GFC, The Blue Kings of Tara, we can see that one of the earliest clubs in Skryne Parish, Killana Shamrocks (our predecessors), used a shamrock as the crest on their jerseys. This was as far back as the late 1880s so we can confidently state, and we have photographs to prove it, that Skryne GFC were the first club in Ireland to proudly sport a crest on their football shirts. The Tara Brooch is a celtic brooch dating back to around 700 AD and can be seen in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. It was not until the early 2000s that most modern clubs began to introduce their own crests to add to the GAA logo which had been used up to then. After that the GAA logo and the club crests were both displayed on the front of the team jersey. Nowadays the team sponsors have been allowed to have their names on the front of the jersey plus a second sponsor on the sleeve and the club name on the back. Modern technology has made all of this possible without cluttering or compromising club colours. In 2008 the Skryne crest was redesigned to include the date on which football was first played on an organised basis in Skryne. So the year 1887 was incorporated into the crest and we now have a slightly smaller version of the brooch with the year in the centre. C.L.G Scrín dates from 1887. It is one of the premier GAA clubs in the country having retained its Meath senior status since 1937. It is right and fitting that ‘The Blue Kings of Tara’ should proudly wear the Tara brooch logo on their football crests. 4 SKRYNE GFC STRATEGIC PLAN 2014–2018 Message from the President of the GAA Táim brea sásta an deis seo a bheith agam mo chomhgairdeas a ghabháil oraibh ar fad ar an lá iontach seo do gach éinne bainteach le Scrín CLG agus an plean seo a cur le chéile. It gives me great pleasure to pen these words to mark what is a momentous occasion in the continued success story of Skryne GAA and the work of everyone connected with the Club.

  • Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance Leaflet On
    Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance leaflet on the National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 March 2015 1 National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 is the vetting legislation passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas in December 2012. This legislation is part of a suite of complementary legislative proposals to strengthen child protection policies and practices in Ireland. Once the ‘Vetting Bureau Act’ commences the law on vetting becomes formal and obligatory and all organisations and their volunteers or staff who with children and vulnerable adults will be legally obliged to have their personnel vetted. Such personnel must be vetted prior to the commencement of their work with their Association or Sports body. It is important to note that prior to the Act commencing that the Associations’ policy stated that all persons who in a role of responsibility work on our behalf with children and vulnerable adults has to be vetted. This applies to those who work with underage players. (The term ‘underage’ applies to any player who is under 18 yrs of age, regardless of what team with which they play). The introduction of compulsory vetting, on an All-Ireland scale through legislation, merely formalises our previous policies and practices. 1 When will the Act commence or come into operation? The Act is effectively agreed in law but has to be ‘commenced’ by the Minister for Justice and Equality who decides with his Departmental colleagues when best to commence all or parts of the legislation at any given time.

  • The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development Vs. Heritage
    L . o . 4 .0 «? ■ U i H NUI MAYNOOTH Qll*c«il n> h£jf**nn Ml Nuad The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway; Development vs. Heritage. Edel Reynolds 2005 Supervisor: Dr. Ronan Foley Head of Department: Professor James Walsh Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. (Geographical Analysis), Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. Abstract This thesis is about the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to investigate the planning process. It has been found that both the planning process and the Environmental Impact Assessment system in Ireland is inadequate. Another aspect of the conflict that was explored was the issue of insiders and outsiders. Through the examination of both quantitative and qualitative data, the conclusion has been reached that the majority of insiders, people from the Tara area, do in fact want the M3 to be built. This is contrary to the idea that was portrayed by the media that most people were opposed to the construction of the motorway. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Ronan Foley, for all of his help and guidance over the last few months. Thanks to my parents, Helen and Liam and sisters, Anne and Nora for all of their encouragement over the last few months and particularly the last few days! I would especially like to thank my mother for driving me to Cavan on her precious day off, and for calming me down when I got stressed! Thanks to Yvonne for giving me the grand tour of Cavan, and for helping me carry out surveys there.

  • 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.
