Kerry Catalogue Fourth Series.Pdf Irish Life and Lore Fourth Series Kerry Collection NAME: JIMMY 'THE YANK' O'SHEA, AGE 91, BALLINACOTA, VENTRY Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 1 Subtitle: A returned Yank Recorded by: Maurice O'Keeffe Date: March 2007 Time: 67:06 Description: Jimmy 'The Yank' O'Shea was born in Pennsylvania and his father worked on the building sites until 1920. His parents had emigrated there from Cahiratrant, a village in West Kerry in 1902, and when Jimmy was 4 his family returned. I recorded his memories of his early days growing up in the village. His recollections were of Killfarmogue, Reenellen and Cahiratrant. He recounted all the local field names and the meanings associated with them. He recalled the major historical events which took place in his lifetime. He sighted the first solo transatlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh - the plane flew low over his house. He also spoke about the 'black flu', which had a devastating effect on the population. The recording finished with an introduction to his wife Kathleen Boland, who grew up on the foothills of Comaleigue. NAME: SEAN O'SHEA, TRALEE (Part 1) Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 2 Subtitle: A return visit to the home place Recorded by: Maurice O'Keeffe Date: March 2007 Time: 53:56 Description: Sean O'Shea, a native of Cahiratrant, brought me back to his home place to rekindle old memories. While driving towards the village of Ventry, we visited a small townland called Cahirbeshinnea, a village of 16 small farm holdings, where Sean spoke about the families which lived there. We continued our journey to Church Farm, a place which Sean had often frequented during his childhood. There, he described his emigration to New York and the difficult life he experienced there. He spoke about his return to live in Ballyheigue, where he brought up a family by selling fish and running a small tour bus, which brought people to Mass on Sundays. This marked the end of the first recording.

Sean spoke about his great-grandmother, who was Cait Brown, a woman of great strength, both physically and mentally. Our final destination was Fion Tra, looking across at Ceann Tra, we discussed local stories handed down to Sean about this place of spectacular beauty. NAME: MIKE O'SHEA, AGE 95, PITTSBURGH Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 4 Subtitle: Tracing the O'Sheas Recorded by: Sean O'Shea Date: 1993 Time: 62:30 Description: Sean O'Shea, my previous interviewee, visited Mike O'Shea in 1993 in Pittsburgh, where he recorded him as he discussed the genealogy of the O'Sheas of Cahiratrant. This recording is unique in its content and clarity. Mike O'Shea had qualified as a schoolteacher and taught in Wexford in the early part of the last century, and because of restrictions on his teaching Irish he left teaching to emigrate to Pittsburgh, where he worked in the steelworks, as did many other Irish emigrants. This recording greatly compliments the other recordings made of this part of West Kerry.

He married in 1962, and began to practice in Dingle, in a practice once owned by Murty Burke. This interview focuses on Peter's ownership of the Great Blasket, and his disputes with the Office of Public Works. He speaks passionately about the preservation of this heritage site. NAME: MONS PADRAIG O FIANNACHTA, AGE 81, DINGLE Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 6 Subtitle: The life story of a great scholar Recorded by: Maurice O'Keeffe Date: February 2007 Time: 45:54 Description: It was a great privilege to have had the opportunity to record Mons Padraig O'Fiannachta at the presbytery in Dingle. A native of Ballymore, he is one of eight brothers and sisters, and he recalled the tragic death of his two brothers, who drowned while fishing for lobster. The life story of this scholarly man was recounted from his time at Maynooth, studying for the MA and BD simultaneously, and studying the Greek and Latin classics and Irish. He spoke about the mammoth task of translating the Bible into Irish, and continued with his memories of his time in Coolea, West Cork, and his eventual destination, Dingle itself. This was a very informative and frank interview with a man who has achieved so much in his lifetime. NAME: MOSSIE O'SCANLAN, AGE 53, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 7 Subtitle: A musician's fond memories Recorded by: Maurice O'Keeffe Date: January 2007 Time: 44:30 Description: Mossie O'Scanlan, a native of Baile an Lochaigh, Ballydavid is one of thirteen children born into a tradition of music and song.

We ventured out into the wind and the rain to travel to the Ferriter's castle, situated on a promontory nearby. This recording, made in 1997, encapsulates the history and the atmosphere of the Ferriters family's existence in the area over many generations. NAME: HUGH O'FLAHERTY, DUBLIN Title: Irish Life and Lore Kerry Collection 4th Series, CD 9 Subtitle: The life story of a former High Court Judge Recorded by: Maurice O'Keeffe Date: January 2007 Time: 45:02 Description: Hugh O'Flaherty is a native of Caherciveen where he was brought up by his aunt, Bridie Sheehan, along with his sister Pearl.

In this interview Hugh talks about his interest in political life and the many speeches he wrote for the late Taoiseach, Jack Lynch. He then concentrated on the old traditions of the Law Library, a very conservative institution. He spoke openly about his involvement in the Sheedy case, and recalled his time as a journeyman barrister as he worked around the country.

He got a job working in the quarries in Kells, Co. Kerry at the age of 14, and at the same time was involved in cycle racing for money. His racing career began in earnest in 1957 and he spoke about his many great adventures while cycling and working part-time for circus companies.

  • Fenit Port & Marina
    Fenit Port & Marina For centuries the Old Port of Fenit was Barrow Harbour. The port was key in medieval times to monastic settlements in Ardfert. Blennerville Quay became the primary area port built in the middle of the 17th century until silting compromised its viability. Tralee Ship Canal, a town port was completed in 1846, superseding Blennerville, but before long silting and the increasing size of incoming ships doomed its viability. A deep-water port was established in Fenit in the late 1880’s. The modern-day Fenit Viaduct & Harbour was upgraded in the early 1950’s. The old wooden structure was replaced when it was discovered that during construction some wooden piles hadn’t been treated with creosote. The non-creosoted piles were damaged by sea worms and were rotting leaving the pier in a dangerous condition.2 The old wooden structure was replaced and opened in 1955. Fenit remains an important international port to this day, and the modern structure includes a deep sea pier of approximately 175 meters.

Fossils are not the ancient organisms themselves.2 On a coastal walk in Ireland most of the fossils evident in rocks are of marine animals without a vertebral column (invertebrates), such as sea- lilies, corals, and bivalves.3 In the Fenit area Crinoid Columnals and Ammonite are numerous. 1 Fossil Definition.
