    Some aspects of the breeding biology of the swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley 3rd largest Irish county covering 5,585 square kilometers (after Cork and Galway), and with a reputation for being one of the wetter western counties, a total of 1116 wetland sites have been identified in the county. Project Objectives • To investigate the breeding biology of swifts in County Mayo • To assess the impact of weather on parental feeding patterns • To determine the likelihood that inclement weather significantly affects the adults’ ability to rear young • To assess the possibility that low population numbers are a result of weather conditions and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • The Old Coastguard Station, Ross Strand, Killala, Co. Mayo
    The Old Coastgua rd Station, Ross Strand, Killala, Co. Mayo This is a unique opportunity to obtain an important historical building that has been carefully converted into a terrace of six 2-storey homes. The conversion has been very carefully carried out to preserve as many features of the old building as possible and retain its original charm and appearance. The location is truly spectacular, on the edge of the beach of the beautiful Ross Strand. The Strand lies in a sheltered bay close to the estuary of the River Moy. It looks out over the Atlantic to Bartra Island, Enniscrone and the open ocean. This is one of the best beaches in County Mayo with large stretches of soft sand and amazing scenery. The coastguard station is approached from the Price Region: €550,000 beach by original stone stairs. There are five similar townhouses, all with the same layout: A living/dining room, kitchen and guest W.C. downstairs and two bedrooms, each with ensuite shower rooms, upstairs. The sixth house utilises the end lookout tower and has three bedrooms, a ground floor bathroom and a study in the tower. All the properties were finished to a good standard but now need some cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation. Until recently the houses were rented out as self-catering holiday homes and achieved good occupancy rates during the summer months. FEATURES One of the best coastal locations in the West of Ireland. Situated on the beach of what is widely considered to be the best strand in Mayo. Spectacular views of Killala Bay, Bartra Island and Enniscrone.

  • The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850
    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.
