Drumraney Battalion, I.R.A. Centre, Drumraney Circle, I.R.B. Subject. Activities of Drumraney Battalion, Irish Volunteers, Athlone Brigade, 1914-1921, and Brigade Flying Column, 1920-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2819 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENTBY MICHAEL McCORMICK, Drumraney, Athlone, County Westmeath. I was born in Drumraney and was educated at the local school there. There was nothing taught in school then that would serve as a foundation or build-up in young boys any deep sense of patriotism. father had been in Australia and there he had come in contact with many of the men who had been deported or had to leave Ireland because they loved it too well, according to English standards When we were children, he regularly discussed Irish History with us and enlightened us on the many crimes and wrongs perpetrated on our country by the English invader, and he often sang traditional folk songs for us. Thus we grew up in an atmosphere in which there was a love for everything Irish and with a great desire to see the country independent and in commandof her own destiny. I think my father was a Fenian. I had read and studied books such as "The Jail Journal" and "The last Conquest". In 1907 I became a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Peter Malinn was organising the I.R.B. in County Westmeath at this time and later on w brother John continued to push the.

Athlone Town Walls and Defences Conservation Plan
Athlone Town Council ATHLONE TOWN COUNCIL ATHLONE TOWN WALLS AND DEFENCES CONSERVATION PLAN OXFORD ARCHAEOLOGY NOVEMBER 2005 Athlone Town Council Athlone Town Council FOREWORD Athlone, Co. Westmeath is one of the primary locations in the history of Ireland and possesses standing remains of the defences that enabled it to survive to the present day. It straddles the River Shannon and was an important crossing point and gateway on the waterways of the centre of the country. For this reason, it was a critical strategic location and played a role in every important invasion of Ireland. A bridge was built and a castle to guard the bridge, in medieval times. Subsequently, stone walls were constructed round the east side of the town, sealing it to the bank of the river. In the 17th century earthen ramparts were constructed around the west side of the town, and bastions were added to the walls of the east town. Further defences in the form of batteries were added to the west town in the early 19th century. However during the 19th and 20th centuries, the walls and defences have gradually been pulled down and removed, through the growth of the town. Only small sections remain, together with indicators of the positions of the walls. It is imperative to preserve these to ensure the survival of the physical elements of the history of Athlone. A conservation plan has been prepared to create policies for the conservation of the walls and defences and to put forward strategies to raise the image and public awareness of these important monuments.

This initiative will act in support of the regeneration of these rural towns and villages and will prioritise projects for development in each of the seven areas. Action planning for rural towns and villages has been set out in the LEADER Local Development Strategy for County Westmeath under the sub- theme of Rural Towns. This sub-theme supports the regeneration of rural towns, promoting them as attractive places to visit, live and do business in. This is to be achieved by building on the economic strengths and infrastructure of the area while also addressing the key challenges for business, community and recreation. The process involving all seven villages took place over six months between January and June 2018. Blue Moss used a participatory facilitation process called Outcomes Based Accountability or OBA with all 7 villages; a process that is interactive and aimed at turning words into action. Process Stages: i. Development of a Vision Statement and underpinning values- What is good about living in the village and what would the group like to see in the future? ii.

Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891).

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
