Like their own St . Columba , in th e exile , who , with tears in his eyes , watched to happy swallows return his dear Eire , the children of St .

A Fo rgotte n Part of Ire land AP 1 CH TER , U B B AP INTROD CTORY, I LIOGR HICAL AN D AL CONFIDENTI . Two years ago I wa s sent as a young i priest to Ach ll Island on my first mission . Up to that time my acquaintance with the island wa s made through the old school for of geography, happily the education youth now discarded , and it merely ena bled me to find its position in the map of l was Ire and , west of Mayo . There , how an its ever, idea abroad that people were savage and primitive and worse ; that it was a modern Nazareth , whence nothing good might be expected to come , and I hon estl a s was y feared , fresh I from theologi c l cal studies , that these bad , in orrigib e A chillmen as , they were supposed to be , could derive no benefit from the sacra mi i ments I came to ad n ster, and ought not to be admitted to them . At the same time I had the boundless confidence and enthu siasm of youth to work a speedy reforma 4 A FORGOTTEN PA RT tion and felt that I had merely to blow my trumpet and the walls of Jericho should } two fil he reu . ial to t g nd I found , after , that my hopes and y extravagant and a equally groundless . With these ide s , to fol however, I came the island and was lowed in a few days by two other fresh ar one for rivals , the who , eleven years , had i m been my genial schoolfellow, and , l ke y self, recently ordained , was to be now my - co . t fellow operator The o her, whose Mass I served for seven years as a boy in to mi my native parish , was be ad nistrator of the island . A happy and harmonious combination we proved , and when we parted it seemed the dissolution of the l good iest fellowship , Whereof this world holds record . After my first and hasty survey of the island , I thought it anything but interest ing and groped about to see if around this dreary waste of bogland the mantle of or history could not be thrown , if, with “ c om Irving, I could not pass from the monpla ce realities of the present and lose myself among the shadowy grandeurs of OF IRE LAND 5 the past . I remember how I devoured the first scrap Of information on its past “ which I found in The Battle Of the Faith “ of in Ireland . The Dark Lady Doom brought to my mind the story Of Grainne a ile one of —Kildown ett U , whose castles - I was pleased to find in the island . One day I' discovered a copy Of the Achill 1844 31st . Herald , dated October , The “ as Of Herald , I learned from the Battle was the Faith , a journal printed and - ff s was published in this far O i land . It a 8 7 Its s a s 1 3 . started far back July , pon derous title tells the purpose and gives a fair idea of the contents Of the various um for n bers , and I make no apology giv ing it in ful l : T H E A OH IL L HERALD AND WESTERN WITNESS : BEING A MONTHLY JOURNAL E' HIBITING T H E PRINCIPLES AND PROGRESS ’ I ' P T H E OF CHR ST S KINGDOM , AND E OSING ERRORS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THAT S E O TION OF T H E R I' AL ‘ KINGDOM OF A NTI OH R IST T H E PAPAOY COMMONLY CALLED . The paper ran into the nineties . For a long time I searched in vain for other O opies , until , to my inexpressible joy, I 6 A FORGOTTEN PA RT came across a complete file in Trinity Col lege Library, Dublin . Meantime , however, a grand pathetic story Of a famishing people I had heard Old from the chroniclers , the men Of the a c island , with whom I made an early Of quaintance . It was the story a battle won . Yes , in this Nazareth , amongst this “ ” i savage people , in th s Forgotten Part Of Ireland, unknown to the outside world , many, whose cries were drowned in the of out wail the ocean , poured their lives ’ for l d Ire an s faith , died and were buried where they fell , e Unw pt , unhonored and unsung . It brought a tear to my eye to think of to m their forgotten fate , and my ind Oliver Wendell Holmes and his beautiful epitaph : Nay, grieve not for the dead alone , ’ Whose song has told their heart s sad story ; Weep for the voiceless who have known The cross , without the crown of glory . I longed to do something towards pre serving and publishing their tale . I n sought every Opportu ity Of speaking to , those venerable and ancient eye-witnesses OF IRELAN D 7 ' ri was and actors of events deSc bed . It a as is labor of love to hear them relate , it to ll all t . record , a they felt and hey saw I hastened to gather up some fragments of their story ere the grave closed over them as forever, they d Wait on the verge of ark eternity, Like stranded wrecks , the tide returning , ” To sweep them from our S ight . l e The ife of Edward Nangl , the Apostle of l e Achi l, transparently prejudic d , but its l as l as valuable for historica data , we l “ ” le the Achill Herald , enab d me to check the stories Of the pe asantry and give them h a historical perspective , whic , otherwise , u not I co ld very easily have done . S O far a tolerably adequate view Of 1834 as as . events far back , when Mr l wa s Nangle came to the is and , opened up before me ; but wishing to penetrate far ther and lift the veil Of history I continued my search .

  • Some Aspects of the Breeding Biology of the Swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley
    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.

    West Coast, Ireland (Slyne Head to Erris Head) GPS Coordinates of location: Latitude: From 53° 23’ 58.02”N to 54° 18’ 26.96”N Longitude: From 010° 13” 59.87”W to 009° 59’ 51.98”W Degrees Minutes Seconds (e.g. 35 08 34.231212) as used by all emergency marine services Description of geographic area covered: The region covered is the wild and remote west coast of Ireland, from Slyne Head north of Galway to Erris Head south of Sligo. It includes Killary Harbour, Clew Bay, Black Sod Bay, Belmullet, and the islands of Inishbofin, Inishturk, Clare, Achill, and the Inishkeas. It is an area of incomparable charm and natural beauty where mountains come down to the sea unspoilt by development. It is also an area without marinas, or easy access to marine services. Self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary, along with careful navigation around a rocky lee coastline in prevailing westerlies. A vigilant watch for approach of frequent Atlantic gales must be kept. Inishbofin is reported to be the most common stopover of visiting foreign-flagged yachts in Ireland, of which there are very few on the West coast. Best time to visit is May-September. 1 24 May 2015 Port officer’s name: Services available in area covered: Daria & Alex Blackwell • There are no marinas in the west of Ireland between Galway and Killybegs in Donegal, so services remain difficult to access. Haul out facilities are now available in Kilrush on the Shannon River and elsewhere by special arrangement with crane operators. • Visitor Moorings (Yellow buoy, 15 tons): Achill / Kildavnet Pier, Achill Bridge, Blacksod, Clare Island, Inishturk, Rosmoney (Clew Bay), Leenane.

Book launch by Sheila McHugh with a response to the book by Hilary Tulloch and reading by Patricia Byrne. The Preacher and the Prelate tells the extraordinary story of an audacious fight for souls on famine- ravaged Achill Island in the nineteenth century. Religious ferment sweeps Ireland in the early 1800s and evangelical clergyman Edward Nangle sets out to lift the destitute people of Achill out of degradation and idolatry through his Achill Mission Colony. A settlement grows up on the slopes of Slievemore with cultivated fields, schools, a printing press and hospital. The Achill Mission colony attracts attention and visitors from far afield. In the years of the Great Famine the ugly charge of ‘souperism’, offering food and material benefits in return for religious conversion, tainted the Achill Mission’s work.
