Introduction INTRODUCTION t the age of 83, Grant MacEwan, former mayor of the city of Calgary and lieutenant-governor of the province of Alberta, Can- ada, travelled from that city to Limerick in 1985 for the specific purpose of gathering information about the Nolan family, formerly of Barrington Street. He was particularly interested in Patrick James (Paddy) Nolan, KC., who emigrated from ~imerickto Calgary in 1889. MacEwan has been described as 'a distinguished agriculturalist, historian, public servant, author and lecturer'. He has been the recipient of five honorary degrees, is a Member of the Order of Canada, and is considered to be 'western Canada's foremost historical writer'. Patrick J. (Paddy)Nolan, K.G., There could hardly be any greater tribute to Paddy Nolan than this journey of a of Calgay, Alberta, Canada man of Grant MacEwan's age and (1862-1913).

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Summer 1996 Price: 50P
    RATHKEALE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Summer 1996 Price: 50p - Right Rev. Dean Thomas Costello. P. P.V.f 1900 - 1996 ?· .- . We nave written elsewhere in this issue of the recent visit of a group of Germans to our town and of the marvellous tributes paid to their hosts: the Community Council and the Palatine Society. They brought w ith them wonderful food and music but they also brought some interesting historical links with the Palatines. They originate in the town of Bornheim which is part of the Palatinate province of Rheinland Psalv and has a population somewhat smaller than Rathkeale although growing at a faster rate. The area is largely agricultural, with particular emphasis on wine production. We have spoken before of the possibility of "twinning" Rathkeale with a foreign town or district and Bornheim would appear ideally suitable in this regard. A good foun­ dation has now been laid and should be built on. The benefits of "twinning" are multifold: social, cultural, educational, sporting etc. and it is especially important in the context of the developing European Union. The Community Council might initiate further action in the matter. 2Japlisms :Oealhs Patrick Joesph Nau~hton John Curley Culligan 1\athlcen Quilligan Bridget Madigan Michael Quilligan Edward Roche John Anthony Lynch Bridget Fitzgerald Nora 0' Brien Christopher Fitzgerard Eimeu Frances 0' Connor Patrick Flynn ora 0' Brien nev.

  • The West Must Wait
    THE WES THE WEST MUST WAIT The west must wait presents a new perspective on the development of the Irish Free State. Through a detailed examination of key local themes – land, poverty, politics, emigration, the status of the Irish language, the influence of radical republicans and the authority of the Catholic Church – it offers a probing analysis of the political and social realities of life in the new state. This book extends the regional historical debate beyond the Irish revolutionary period and raises a series of challenging questions about T how we think about post-civil war society in Ireland. It opens up a new dimension by providing a rural contrast to the Dublin-centred views of Irish MUS politics in the first decade of independence. Significantly, it reveals the level of deprivation in local Free State society which the government had to confront (however inadequately) in the west of Ireland. Drawing on sophisticated rigorous research of a wide range of unexplored sources, Úna Newell studies in some detail the disconnect between the perceptions of what independence would deliver and what was actually achieved by the incumbent Cumann na nGaedheal administration. The book T explores the expectations and frustrations of the local people and examines why Cumann na nGaedheal lost the popular vote in County Galway. W This is a timely study of great originality which will be of central interest to all students, scholars and general readers who wish to deepen their understanding of the nature of politics and local life in post-revolutionary AI Ireland.
