In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

  • World War I in 1916
    MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 In a front line trench, France, World War I (Library of Congress, Washington) World War I in 1916 When war was declared on 4 August 1914, there were already over 25,000 Irishmen serving in the regular British Army with another 30,000 Irishmen in the reserve. As most of the great European powers were drawn into the War, it spread to European colonies all over the world. Donegal men found that they were fighting not only in Europe but also in Egypt and Mesopotamia as well as in Africa and on ships in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean. 1916 was the worst year of the war, with more soldiers killed this year than in any other year. By the end of 1916, stalemate on land had truly set in with both sides firmly entrenched. By now, the belief that the war would be ‘over by Christmas’ was long gone. Hope of a swift end to the war was replaced by knowledge of the true extent of the sacrifice that would have to be paid in terms of loss of life. Recruitment and Enlisting Recruitment meetings were held all over the County. In 1916, the Department of Recruiting in Ireland wrote to Bishop O’Donnell, in Donegal, requesting: “. that recruiting meetings might with advantage be held outside the Churches . after Mass on Sundays and Holidays.” 21 MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 Men from all communities and from all corners of County Donegal enlisted. They enlisted in the three new Army Divisions: the 10th (Irish), 16th (Irish) and the 36th (Ulster), which were established after the War began.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.

  • LOCH CHONAILL RAILWAY WALK and the Route Went from Derry City to Burtonport
    The Railway It was constructed by the Lough Swilly Railway Company LOCH CHONAILL RAILWAY WALK and the route went from Derry City to Burtonport. The construction of the railway brought hope to many following years of hardship. The terrain to construct a Railway on was difficult to say the least, negotiating Granite rocks, hills, valleys and bogland. End This route was the second largest narrow gauge Railway ever constructed. The entire building materials were sourced locally i.e. the timber from locally grown trees, the lime, sand and the stone was quarried at the top of the hill. The stone from the quarry at the Mullach Bhan was also used for road building and constructing the rail track. It is now to be used as an overflow car park for the walkway. Loch Chonaill N56 The Train You are here Locally the train was called the Mhuc Dhubh (the black Start pig) as it chugged its way through the landscape. The train first came to this area in 1903 and stopped running in 1940. It was innovative of its time and its Rd to Crolly primary function was to take fish out of Burtonport and Station house transport goods and people in and out of North West Donegal. Burtonport and the offshore islands especially N56 Inis Mhic an Doirn (Rutland) were a hive of activity at this time. The ruins of the factories are still visible today. The train ceased to run as lorries were being used to transport fish and goods much faster than the train. The route of the train did not go through populated areas Rd to Annagry so it was of little benefit for transporting people.

Conditions,if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2644 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY PHILIP BOYLE, Marameelan, Dungloe, Co. Donegal. I joined the Irish Volunteers in November, 1918. At that time a company was organised in my area. It was known as C. Company, 1st Battalion, West Donegal Brigade. Ernie O'Malley came to the area as organiser. The first Captain of the Company was Joe Carr. He was an ex soldier of the British army. Carr remained as Captain until January, 1919. When orders were received from the Brigade to enforce a boycott of the R.I.C. and their friends, Carr was not prepared to go through with it and he was released from his post. was appointed Captain to replace Carr. The Company strength at that time was twenty-four. Late In 1920 - it may have been August - our Company collected any shotguns held by civilians in the area. At the time, the Ancient Order of Hibernians was fairly strong, and they resisted the taking up of guns, but we had not to use force when they realised that we were determined to get the guns. The main work of the Volunteers in our area in 1918, 1919 and early 1920 was concerned with drilling and training.
