W.S. 1.133 STATEMENTBY MISS ANNIE BARRETT, Killavullen, County Cork. I was born at Killavullen, County Cork, on 24th September, 1888. My father was a Fenian. He escorted O'Neill Crowley from his hiding place in Glenagare to Kilclooney Wood in 1867. I was educated at Killavullen National School where I attended until I was about 16 years of age. I then went to the Munster Civil Service College where I remained for about 11/2years. I entered the Post Office Service as a telephonist at Killarney in 1906.. After about six months I was transferred to Mallow. Early in 1919 I was appointed Supervising Telephonist at Mallow and I continued to serve in this capacity until I was superannuated in 1945. In the years prior to and following 1916 I took a keen interest in the national cultural organisations in the district. I was a member of the Gaelic League and was Captain of the Thomas Davis Camogie Club in 1914. My first contact with the Irish Volunteer Organisation was made through my brother who was a wireless operator. This was early in 1918 when he put me in touch with Tom Hunter and Danny Shinnick who were the Volunteer leaders in the Castletownroche-Killavullen area at the time.

  • Dovecote, Ballybeg Priory
    Hidden gems and Forgotten People BALLINCOLLIG HERITAGE ASSOCIATION THE DOVE-COTE, BALLYBEG PRIORY, CO CORK Ballybeg Priory is a 13th century priory situated near the town of Buttevant, County Cork, which lies between Cork and Limerick on the N20. It was founded by Philip de Barry in 1229 as an Augustinian order and named after the martyred archbishop of Canterbury, St. Thomas à Becket. Ballybeg was an extensive foundation, the priory church measuring some 166 feet (51 m) in length and 26 feet (7.9 m) in width. The priory is now in ruins but located away from the main ecclesiastical buildings, standing intact in the middle of a field is the most noteworthy remaining structure on the site, a round tower dovecote. It is a truly remarkable structure. Inside, the walls are built in square compartments in regular tiers to a height of fifteen feet. There are some 352 niches, divided into eleven tiers each containing 32 compartments. It opens to the sky. The dovecote was important as a source of revenue for the priory as its main agricultural purpose was the production of fertiliser. Pigeon fertiliser was essential for herb gardens and economically more highly valued than equivalents produced by cattle, sheep or pigs. It was also essential for the successful growing of hemp, which was widely used for cloth, rope and sack making. A string course around the circumference of the building served not only as a structural strengthening of the building but also to prevent weasels, or other vermin from scaling the walls to the entrances.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.
