  • 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.

  • Understanding Water Levels on the River Shannon
    Understanding water levels on the River Shannon Shannon Catchment-based Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Study Introduction In line with government policy, the Office of Public Works (OPW ) is in the proces s o f un der ta king t he Shannon Catchment-based Flood Risk Assessment a nd Ma nagemen t (CF RAM ) S tudy to g ive us a clear and comprehensive picture of flood risk in the Shannon a rea and set out how the risk can be managed effectively and sustainably. Based on technical work and information from stakeh olde rs and lo cal comm unitie s, we will gener ate detailed flood maps (due by the end of 2013) showing wh er e curr en t and f utu re floo ding is likely to occur. By 2015, we will produce Flood Risk Management P lans ( FRM Ps ) wh ich will set out specif ic programmes of measures and how the OPW, local aut horities and oth er sta keholders, inc luding the ESB and Waterways Ireland, should work together to address flood risks in the catchment. In the meantime, a lot of work needs to be done to help us fully understand the risks of flooding and ensure that the flood maps and subsequent plans are properly informed, accurate and reliable. An important part of this early work is to research and understand the current operations of structures (e.g. weirs and sluices) along the River Shannon, who has responsibilities for water levels and how this impacts flood risk management.

First Contact with Volunteer Movement: About March, 1917, a Company of the Irish Volunteers was formed in Kilgeffin, Co. Roscommon. I joined this Company at its unauguration. The Kilgeffin area was always strong and to the fore in any Irish freedom movement and had a great record during the Land League days. The Company when formed was attached to the Longford area and acted as a bridgehead for the Shannon. Pat Madden was the first O.C. of the Company. Luke Duffy was 1st Lieutenant and I was 2nd Lieutenant. Our strength was about 30 all ranks. We had no arms except a few shotguns and a few small type revolvers. Luke Duffy's father, who had served in the British army, acted as our instructor. This was the time of the North Roscommon elections.
