Kathleen Leddin Mayor of Limerick Mayors Book 2014:Layout 1 24/04/2014 23:45 Page 1 Mayor’s Foreword Limerick, founded by the Vikings nearly 1100 years ago, is one of the oldest and most historic cities in Ireland. In addition, Limerick City Council is one of the oldest local authorities in Ireland and Britain, and can trace its origins back to the charter of 1197. From June 2014, it will be merged with Limerick County Council to create a new Limerick City and County Council. This momentous event has prompted the holding of an exhibition and the production of this booklet, both entitled '1197-2014. A Retrospective of Limerick City Council.' In the midst of the hectic amalgamation process, it is appropriate to pause and reNlect on the legacy of Limerick City Council. In general it has Nilled two major roles in recent decades: as a representative political institution and as a service provider. In both, it has made a very signiNicant impact. The City Council has provided the city with, among other things, a large amount of social housing, a modern water supply, a sewerage system, a network of roads, an outstanding Nire service and a number of Nlagship cultural institutions such as the Limerick City Gallery of Art, Limerick City Museum and Archives and the City Library. Just as important is the role of the City Council as a representative body, which it has fulNilled since the introduction of democracy to local government in 1899. In this decade of anniversaries, it is important to remember how in 1916 its members registered their anger at the execution of the Easter Rising leaders and in 1920, they broke away from British rule and declared their allegiance to the Nirst Dáil. Since independence, the City Council has continued to be a democratically elected institution, something which we often take for granted, but which is still denied to millions of voters world-wide. As the latest in a series of Provosts and Mayors of Limerick that dates back 817 years, I am delighted that the area formerly administered by the City Council will become a metropolitan district within the merged City and County Council whose councillors will continue to elect a Mayor. In this year when Limerick is enjoying the role of Nirst national City of Culture, I look forward to the future with conNidence. I know that for Limerick, the best is yet to come. Cllr. Kathleen Leddin 11 9 7 Mayor of Limerick - 2 0 1 L 4 ICK CITY COUNCI ER IM L A RETROSPECTIVE 1 Mayors Book 2014:Layout 1 24/04/2014 23:45 Page 2 Conn Murray Manager Limerick City and County Councils 2 Mayors Book 2014:Layout 1 24/04/2014 23:45 Page 3 City and County Manager's Foreword In June 2014, a new political and administrative structure will be created as a result of the merging of Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council into a single local authority. Limerick City Council can trace its origins to 1197 and County Limerick was created in the 1250s, so this merger is indeed a historic event. Accordingly, it is Nitting that we should review the long and proud history of Limerick City Council in both the current exhibition and this booklet. One of the most striking features of Limerick City Council is its sheer longevity. When it was established by John, Lord of Ireland in 1197, King Richard the Lionheart was aged 40 and St Francis of Assisi was 15. Limerick City Council was nearly 300 years old when Columbus Nirst landed in America, nearly 600 years old when the United States of America came into existence and 725 years old when the modern Irish state achieved independence. Yet, throughout this enormous timespan, it did not remain the same but was always adapting and changing. The Medieval Corporation differed greatly from that of the Georgian Era; the right to vote, once conNined to a tiny propertied minority, was extended to all adults after 1935; while the range of services provided has waxed and waned in accordance with changing systems of governance. Yet, a constant feature throughout was the partnership between the local authority and the people of Limerick, which was sometimes fraught and other times fruitful. In conclusion, it is worth noting that although Limerick City Council will no longer be a separate local authority, the area it formerly administered will become a metropolitan district, whose councillors will retain the right to elect a Mayor. In this manner, the identity and traditions of the ancient city of Limerick will continue into the future.

Soon afterwards, Limerick Corporation (renamed Limerick Council in 2002) was established by a charter issued by John, Lord of Ireland on 18 December 1197. The constitution created by this and eleven subsequent charters remained essentially unchanged until 1841. Only a minority of the population could vote and engage in the commercial life of the City. They were known as the Freemen and were generally male property owners. The following were the principal categories who could become Freemen: eldest sons of Freemen; persons who married the daughters of Freemen; persons who completed a seven-year apprenticeship with a Freeman and persons who were given the privilege by vote of the Common Council. There were three different representative bodies in the city. The Freemen of Limerick met weekly in the Hundred Court (combined city council and law court) and at a special annual meeting elected the Mayor and (after 1413) the two Bailiffs to serve for one year each. The Gild Merchant was an association of merchants analogous to the modern Chamber of Commerce. The Common Council was like the modern City Council and consisted of the aldermen (usually former Mayors) and councillors recruited by co-option rather than elected. The executive arm consisted of the Mayor and two Bailiffs nominally elected by the freemen assembled in the Hundred Court, although in practice they were chosen by the civic elite from amongst the membership of the Common Council. They served for one year but could be re-elected. In 1609 the two Bailiffs were given the higher title of Sheriff in consequence of Limerick city becoming an administrative county. In 1672, under the provisions of the New Rules introduced by the Dublin government, the right to elect the Mayor and Sheriffs was removed from the Hundred Court and vested in the Common Council. The Mayor governed the city with the assistance of the Bailiffs/Sheriffs, Common Council and a small number of ofNicials such as the town clerk. Limerick Corporation was a perpetual body corporate, with a common seal and its own legal personality separate from individual members of the Hundred Court and Common Council. The Corporation governed an area consisting of the city proper and a large rural hinterland in both Counties Limerick and Clare called the 11 9 North and South Liberties. In 1578 Scattery Island, situated 60 miles from the city in the Shannon Estuary was 7 - 2 also placed under the jurisdiction of Limerick Corporation. 0 1 L 4 ICK CITY COUNCI ER IM L A RETROSPECTIVE 7 Mayors Book 2014:Layout 1 24/04/2014 23:46 Page 8 1987.0276 1983.0090 Map of Limerick, 1829 Siege of Limerick 1690.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

  • Still Life With-Press 09-04-10
    Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 Press Release For immediate release Contact: Pippa Little, LCGA [email protected] 061 310633 Opening at the Hunt Museum, 3 June 2010. Exhibition from 4 June - 11 July 2010. http://www.connolly-cleary.com/Home/still_life_with http://www.gallery.limerick.ie The project is inspired by Patrick Hennessy’s magnificent Still life painting from the permanent collection of Limerick City Gallery of Art. Still life with... reconstructs the original Still life as a 3 dimensional set, inviting you to step right into the painting. It provides a meeting place for pixels and pigments, for moving and fixed images, for shimmering light and hard matter, for young and old. Depending on the visitor’s reaction, the exhibition can be a drawing exercise, a performance, a dialogue between old and new, a reflection on pictorial space... or simply a game. Still life with... / Cleary & Connolly / LCGA / MIC / Hunt Museum / AIB Prize 2009 In Ireland, we have a theatrical culture that allows us to imagine what is behind the scenes, but if I were to ask you what is behind the picture, you might be forgiven for replying ‘the wall!’ ‘Pictorial space’ is not in our everyday language. All the more reason to explore it. Still life with… offers us a walk through an imagined space behind the picture plane. Like Alice through the Looking Glass, the work invites the spectator to step through the frame into that imaginary space behind the painting. It makes a bridge between old media - painting and sculpture - and new media - computers, video and digital printing.

  • Special Collections, Hartley Library
    1 Special Collections, Hartley library Archives Information Sheet 8 - resources relating to Ireland The Special Collections contains two substantial collections of papers relating to the Irish estates owned by the Temple and the Parnell families. As well as a rich source for the study of estate management, these two collections provide a wealth of material relating to the politics, social and cultural history of Ireland. Further Irish political material can be found in the semi-official papers of the first Duke of Wellington, who was Chief Secretary, 1807-9, and Prime Minister, 1828-30. Two other small collections, those of the Earls of Mornington and Richard Wellesley, first Marquis Wellesley, contain complementary material on estate management. (MS62) The Broadlands Archives The Temple (Palmerston) family have held estates in Ireland – County Sligo in the west of Ireland and Dublin – since 1701 when they were left to John Temple, father of Henry Temple, first Viscount Palmerston, on the death of Margaret Trapps. The main series of Irish estate papers cover the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and includes title deeds, rentals and other estate papers including correspondence with estate managers and other individuals. There are additional documents spread throughout the personal papers of members of the Temple, Cowper Temple, Mount-Temple and Palmerston families concerning estate management, legal documents – such as wills – concerning their estates, and records of their political and legal careers both in and concerning Ireland.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

In particular, it focuses on the major employment areas within the region and assesses these areas in terms of key features and infrastructure, agency supported employment, public sector employment and other employment. Major Employment Areas Table 1.1 below highlights the numbers employed in the major employment areas (areas with over 1,500 employees) in the Mid West Region. There are also a number of other key employment areas in the region that have over 500 employees but less than 1,500 employees. They have been grouped together under ‘ key employment clusters’ for the purposes of Table . The last available figures for the numbers employed per area are CSO (POWCAR) 2006 figures. In 2006 there were approximately 160,500 The largest employment employed in the Region. area in the Mid West Region is Limerick City However, based on the QNHS Q3, 2009 ( Principal Economic Statues figures ), employment in the Region was 148,900, a decrease of followed by the approximately 7.2%.

  • Physical Regeneration for Moyross
    LIMERICK REGENERATION 5.1 Physical Regeneration for Moyross Delmege Estate Regeneration Physical 77 LIMERICK REGENERATION Castle Park House and Delmege Estate St Nessan’s Community Watch House Cross College Limerick Institute of Technology Thomond Park 78 LIMERICK REGENERATION 5.1 Physical Regeneration for Moyross 5.1.1 CONTEXT Chapter Two of this document outlines the Strategic Context in which this programme must be consistent with as the regeneration moves forward. The Physical Programme is at this stage indicative only and very much a ‘work in progress’. The details of the various projects proposed will need to be flexible and in a position to respond to the changes that occur within the fluid environment which they operate. From a land-use and planning perspective, matters are changing on a regular basis, for example the Regional Planning Guidelines are due for review shortly as are some of the relevant local authority Delmege Estate Development Plans. In addition the changing economic and social circumstances of the country may have some implications for population growth and development options which may in turn impact on the approaches taken with regard to Regional Development. Therefore as we move forward this Regeneration Programme must continue to complement the strategies and different elements of the various National, Regional and local levels as outlined in table 1 (page 19). 5.1.1.1 Introduction Moyross Chapter 3 set out the Social Regeneration element of this programme and Chapter 4 has dealt with the economic proposals to underpin these. This Physical Programme deals with the buildings, spaces and environment in which these programmes will be grounded and on which they depend to achieve the transformation of Moyross.
