Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways
Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week. -
Field Day Review 62
Field Day Review 62 The Journey West The Journey West Patrick Joyce1 At the edge Josef Koudelka called this photograph (Fig. 1), Irlande 1972. It is part of a collection of his work entitled Exiles. The three men kneel at the summit of Croagh Patrick, a site of Christian pilgrimage for over a millennium and a half, and before then, for perhaps twice that time, it has been a sacred place. Below the summit, and in the background, is Clew Bay, the Atlantic Ocean speckled with Clew’s many islands, drowned drumlins marooned by geological time. In the photographs that make up Exiles, Koudelka photographed the margins of Europe, margins which are partly geographical, for Croagh Patrick is at the outermost western limits of Europe, and partly social. He repeatedly returns to images of gypsies, one of Europe’s two great symbols of what it is to be at the margins of an acceptable social life from which they are exiled. Indeed, Koudelka was himself an exile, having fled from Prague after the Russian invasion of 1968, following which he took up a relentlessly peripatetic professional life as a photographer, much of it as a stateless person. To be at a margin, or on a border, is to be both inside and outside, or it is to be neither Fig. 1: Ireland. Croagh Patrick Pilgrimage, 1972.

The scheme was introduced in the early 30's by An Roinn Oideachais (an organization which had responsibility for the promotion of the Irish language at the time) in order to provide a direct economic incentive to families in Gaeltacht areas to maintain Irish as the language of the home. A full statistical digest is included of the available data pertaining to the scheme over the 11-year period 1973/74-1983/84 and assembles a comparable set of statistics relating to school pupil populations over the same years. Chapters 1 and 2 contain a detailed description of the operation of the scheme and bring into focus some important questions relating to the quality and consistency of the data, the very restricted information released about the scheme, and the limited range of other data to which they can be reliably related. -
