For most towns and villages Commerce and Trade (retail, accommodation, restaurants etc.) is the biggest employment sector. More than 1 in 4 working people work in this sector in Ballaghaderreen, Cloonfad, Termonbarry, Strokestown, Boyle, Frenchpark and Monksland. Professional Services (education, health, accountancy etc.) is the next biggest for most towns and villages. For Creagh (Ballinasloe), Elphin and Loughglinn it is the biggest sector. ‘Other Services’ generally tend to be the third largest sector but for Strokestown and Ballinlough it is the biggest employment sector. It is also important in Castlerea, Termonbarry and Frenchpark. The towns which have the highest percentage working in Manufacturing are Cloonfad, Monksland, Lanesborough/Ballyleague, Ballinlough and Ballaghaderreen. Public Administration is an important source of employment in most towns and villages. It is particularly important for people living in Knockcroghery, Roscommon, Strokestown and Monksland. Construction continues to be a significant employment sector especially in Frenchpark, Ballaghaderreen, Creagh (Ballinasloe) and Cloonfad. Transport and Communications is most important in Monksland given Athlone’s central position. It is also important for Knockcroghery, Loughglinn and Boyle. Agriculture is particularly important for people living in Elphin, Creagh (Ballinalsloe), Strokestown and Lanesborough/Ballyleague. 2 Profile of Roscommon Town Prepared by the Western Development

Many thanks for your application form with additional information. There are a number of easy ways in which you could enhance the presentation of your application form. In the first instance it is recommended that you use the electronic form over the hardcopy. This will give you all the space you need to describe your projects clearly and succinctly. The second point is to do with your additional information. The adjudicator welcomes the use of photos but these should be limited in number and be specifically related to projects undertaken. It is best to leave long descriptions out in favour brief captions which refer back to the application form. If presenting before and after photographs one of each is quite sufficient. Your additional information was tied together rather loosely in four different collections and this presented the adjudicator with a rather unwieldy volume of material. You could use a small ring binder or, better still, insert the photos digitally into the application form, thereby eliminating the need for loose pages.

  • Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary
    ..;.. BALLAGHADERREEN AND THE MAYO-ROSCOMMON BOUNDARY h Map Location of Ballaa:haderreen: In 1824 the British Parliament authorised a survey of the whole island of Ireland, at a scale of six inches to one mile. This undertaking was entrusted to the military Board of Ordnance, and the survey became known as the Ordnance Survey. The beautiful 6" maps, produced as a ,result of the survey, were published over the years 1833 to 1846. The maps for County Roscommon appeared in 1837; those for County Mayo in 1838. If one wishes to find the map of the Ballaghaderreen area in that first Ordnance Survey, one turns to Mayo, sheet 74. After the first survey, the Ordnance Survey - as the surveying body became known - continued the work of mapping the country. It produced maps at different scales, and it published revisions of earlier maps. A major revision of the original 6" maps took place in the early years of this century. If one wishes to find the map of Ballaghaderreen area in this edition, one must now tum to Roscommon, sheet 8. Clearly by that time Ballaghaderreen had moved to County Roscommon. The Ordnance Survey does not, of course, decide the county boundaries. It simply follows the boundaries laid down by the bodies, who organise local government in the country. These bodies, sometime near the end of the last century, decided that the boundary between Counties Mayo and Roscommon should be re-drawn, so as to bring the Ballaghaderreen area from Mayo into Roscommon. Since the boundary was over three hundred years old at that time, it seems of interest to ask who made the change, and why they made it.

  • Mary O'flanagan
    Hidden gems and Forgotten People COUNTY ROSCOMMON ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY Mary O’Flanagan Early in the 1940s Castlerea and its surrounding areas were still without any post- primary educational facilities. It is recognised that, at that time secondary education was still reserved for the privileged few. However, Mary O’Flanagan, who was joined by her sister Bea, was to change all that. A native of Cloonfower, Castlerea, Mary O’Flanagan was educated at Cloonbonniffe NS and later at the Dominican Convent, Eccles Street, Dublin. She went on to attend University College Galway where she obtained a BA a B.Com, her H. Dip and an MA. She taught for a short time in Navan, Tubbercurry and in France before returning to Castlerea to set up the first co-educational school in the town, a system of education that was very controversial at the time. On September 4th, 1940 Mean Scoil Iosef Naofa was founded at St. Patrick Street. It opened with 13 students, but by the end of the year the number had increased to 26. Mary O’Flanagan later purchased a building further down Patrick Street which was to become the school’s permanent home until free education was introduced in 1968 and then the numbers doubled. Mary O’Flanagan remained principal until her retirement in 1979. In 1983 it amalgamated with the Vocational School, which subsequently amalgamated with the Convent Secondary School in 1993 to form Castlerea Community School. Past pupils tell many stories of Mary O’s exploits – and she will go down in the history books as the woman who patrolled the streets to make sure that none of her students were out after 5 pm.

  • The Subjection of Connaught
    The Subjection of Connaught The O’Conors of Connaught an Historical Memoir, compiled from a MS of The Late John O’Donovan, LL.D. with additions From the State Papers and Public Records By the Rt. Hon. Charles Owen O’Conor Don (1891) A.D. 1476-1503. Owen (Caech) “ O’Conor Don,” Son of Felim Geancach. A.D. 1474-1485. BETWEEN the death of Felim O’Conor in 1474, and the death of his son Owen in 1485, little reference is made to the latter in any of the public records of the period, from which we may safely conclude that he was more peacefully inclined than some of his predecessors. He did not immediately succeed to the chieftaincy after his father’s death, as he was in captivity at that time, and, as mentioned above, the O’Conor Don sept was for a short period represented by a certain Teige O’Conor. This Teige was killed in 1476, when Owen, surnamed Caech, or the short-sighted, assumed the chieftaincy. He married Dervorgilla, [1] the daughter of Felim Finn, O’Conor Roe, and ac- cordingly we find him and Felim Finn close allies in all the family conflicts which sub- sequently arose. These conflicts were varied by attacks made by O’Donnell upon O’Conor Sligo and the English, and for several successive years little is recorded in the Irish chron- icles save the exploits of O’Donnell. In 1478 the annalists record that disputes arose “ between Felim Finn and O’Conor Don on the one side, and the young sons of Teige O’Conor, the descendants of Felim, and the sons of O’Conor Roe on the other,” and Turlough Roe, the son of Roderic, the son of Felim, “ a choice son of a king, was slain.” At this period the English influence in Connaught was very slight.
