Phone 087 2505422. 1916-2016 - Remembering the Galway Rebels As announced in our previous newsletters, the contribution of men and women from south and east Galway to the 1916 Rising is being marked by our society this year. So much has been written about the rising in the county already, and so many books and web-pages are available, it is easy to forget that the point of marking the rising is to raise awareness of the men who sacrificed their lives for the country and their ideals. We are fortunate in Co Galway that among the seven men who signed the proclamation declaring independence was one we can claim as our own - Éamonn Ceannt, and some of the events in the county (detailed right) will be specific to him. Pictured above is Ballymoe RIC Barracks in the north-east of the county and the current Garda Station just to the right. Eamonn Ceannt was born at the old barracks in 1881, the son of RIC Constable Jim Kent and the fittingly named Joanne Galway. The man himself was inspired by the 1798 commemoration (in 1898), and the Boer War. In 1899 he joined the central branch of the Gaelic League, and by 1907 he had joined the Dublin central branch of Sinn Fein. During the rising, Ceannt was commandant of the Fourth Battalion of the Volunteers and was stationed at South Dublin Union controlling the area south of Kilmainham around Dolphin's Barn. After the uncondi- tional surrender, Ceannt was brought to Richmond Barracks. He was executed on 8 May 1916. Pictured right is the Irish Independent of 26 April 1916 marking the end of affairs. Meanwhile, back west, there had also been a rising of sorts. Many insurgents had assembled in Galway City on Easter Monday be- fore undertaking a number of separate attacks on the British army and the RIC. Clarinbridge, Oranmore, and Carnmore all saw activity. The main body of rebels reunited at Athenry, onto Moyode Castle (pictured right, Kilconierin parish) and ultimately to Limepark House (Kilthomas). All of these parish areas, and indeed many others, will be marking the rising in their own way this year. Many individual SEG- AHS members will be attending events in Dublin, but all are welcome to join us in Athenry, Gort, the City, and elsewhere with just some of the highlights mentioned on the adjoining page. If you would like to partici- pate in any of the events taking place, please let us know. UPCOMING EVENTS January Galway Rising: What it said in the Papers - Blog 1916 Galway City Libraries will launch a blog and present a selection of articles from local newspapers as reported throughout 1916. The articles featured will reflect all events as recorded during that time, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the serious to the trivial. Galway City Libraries will also organise a series of history seminars bringing history to life, with the ‘History Live’ group for local primary schools. Galway Libraries will organise an inter-schools art competition for primary schools - fifth and sixth classes will sub- mit 3D art group projects on the theme ‘Remembering 1916’. February Locations around City and on a digital platform On dates tbc, a digital map and map tour showing the locations of interest and associated photos/images/maps. March SEGAHS Lecture, March 24th: ‘Degenerate Sons': 'Liam Mellows, Galway and 1916 Rising ' by Dr Conor McNamara. The six hundred or so Volunteers who went out to fight in Easter Week 1916 in County Galway were derided by the Tuam Herald as 'degenerate sons'. This lecture examines the events of Easter Week in Galway in terms of the national dimension to the plans for the Rising and the personal consequences for those involved. SEGAHS is delighted to welcome Dr McNamara to speak to the society for the first time. His books Easter 1916: A New Illustrated History (2015) and , as editor, The West of Ireland: New Perspectives on the Nineteenth Century (2011) are warmly recommended. Volunteers are required for a historical re-enactment of Saint Patrick’s Day 1916 when 700 men and women marched through the streets of Galway. For more information, please e-mail [email protected]. April 1916 Centenary Programme - Constable Patrick Whelan On April 28th the unveiling of a commemorative stone at Carnmore, the site of the engage- ment between the Castlegar & Claregalway Volunteers and the RIC resulting in the death of Constable Patrick Whelan - the only fatality of the Rising in Co Galway. The unveiling of the commemorative stone will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the grave of Patrick Whelan in Bohermore Cemetery. May The Labour Movement and 1916 - A Symposium to Celebrate May Day 2016 The symposium will comprise of a series of short talks on the Irish Labour Movement, social change, and how this political strand influenced 1916. Included will be presentations on James Connolly and Liam Mellows, encompassing social, economic and political aspects of Galway in early 20th century Galway and 1916 in particular (followed by discussion). June Remembering Éamonn Ceannt (pictured right) In association with the Galway Sessions, the leading uilleann and bagpipers from Ireland, Scotland and the USA will be invited to commemorate the life and work of Éamonn Ceannt, during a week-long festival from 13th – 19th June. The commemoration will include a semi- nar alongside a special exhibition in Galway City Museum and additional events. Galwaymen at War Marie Bennett From as far back as the middle of the seventeenth century, when France overtook Spain as the main destination for Irishmen pursuing a military career, Galwaymen have contributed immeasurably to European armies. Thereafter, whether fighting in British, American, and indeed other ranks; men from the county have acquitted themselves with distinction in battle. Drawing on various sources, in this case British and American military records, this series will be marking specific battles involving men from the county and providing additional details where available. 205 Years Ago The Battle of Chiclana (Battle of Barrosa), an unsuccessful ma- noeuvre to break the siege of Cádiz during the Peninsular War, took place on 5 March 1811. A lack of unity in purpose between the British and Spanish saw those allies fail to drive home their superiority over the French on the battlefield. Among the 1,300 British dead and wounded was Galway’s Michael Keenan of the 87th regiment.

Reproductive Loan Fund Lending to the ‘Industrious Poor’ Clans and Surnames Conference, 17 May 2017 What were the Loan Funds • In the period just before the Great Hunger of the 1840s there were more than 300 independent loan funds making small loans available to the Irish poor. • One fifth of the households of Ireland were borrowers from these funds each year, making them one of the most successful microfinance initiatives anywhere in the world. • So what information can be garnered from these funds, why were they established, what can it tell us about Irish life in this era, and what is available for Genealogists? Loan Fund in Ireland • After the famines of the 1820s surplus charitable donations of c. £55,000 were provided to loan associations in the counties worst affected. • Loan funds were independent, charitably-funded organisations lending in their regions. • Loan amounts were from £1 to £10 (average £3), repayable over 20 weeks. • Regulation of many funds, such as it was, from 1837, was through the ‘Loan Fund Board’. • A distinct, unregulated, micro-credit scheme called the ‘Irish Reproductive Loan Fund’ was also established to provide loans to the industrious poor. Roscommon Journal and Western Impartial Reporter, 21 May 1836, advertising their fund. - In 1836, half of the 2,849 borrowers from one Co Mayo fund were small farmers with close to one quarter being weavers & spinners. - While the intent may have been to lend for industry, funds were called upon to meet rent, at high interest rates, and to those had little understanding of money.

The agreement for the sale and purchase of the entire issued share capital of CMNL Limited by INM was executed on 2nd September 2016. In line with the media merger requirements detailed in the Competition Acts 2002-2014, INM and CMNL jointly submitted a notification to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (“CCPC”) on 5th September 2016.
