  • Issue 31 Thursday October 1St.Pub
    Issue 31 Volume 10 : Thursday October 1st 2020 GOODBYE TO A GOLFING LEGEND Ballybunion said goodbye to one of its favourite sons yesterday as former Irish international Tommy Corridan was laid to rest in the family plot at St John’s cemetery. The gentle giant who turned 61 in May, had battled for the past 12 months or so with leukaemia and passed away at University Hospital Kerry in Tralee in the early hours of Monday morning last. A hugely popular character not only locally, but in Irish golf and beyond, the large gathering of officials, past captains, lady captains, presidents and members of Ballybunion golf club forming a guard of honour as his coffin left the church, was testament to his popularity and the esteem in which he was held within the game. Members of Castletroy golf club, old friends, former team mates and golf rivals came too to say their last goodbyes to “Big Tommy” among them former Irish internationals Christy Moylan, Padraig McInerney & Eddie Power, whom he beat to win the Irish Close title in 1983. Continued on page 3 2 A Note from the Editor Hello and welcome to another edition of Ballybunion News. Race Week has come and gone, thankfully without incident, but it was rather subdued ,as to be expected with reduced opening hours and capacities in the pubs and no live music either. Corona Virus continues to threaten the country and although there has been a rise in the number of cases in Kerry, we have been very fortunate in Ballybunion and lets hope it stays that way as we hurtle towards the winter.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

I joined the Volunteers in April 1914 when they were first formed in Duagh. The drill instructors on the formation of the Volunteers were two brothers named Jerry and Thomas Keane - both ex-British soldiers. We paraded and drilled with wooden rifles for a time. After a speech by Jolt Redmond at Woodenbridge in Co. Wicklow when he called on the Volunteers to defend the shores of Ireland, there was a split in the local company, which ceased to parade and drill for a time. The company, however, did not break up but continued to exist in a loose formation. Sometime in the year 1914 a man named Humphrey Murphy was appointed school teacher in the local National School and came to stay at my house. Night after night he and I discussed the Irish Volunteers and Ireland's fight for freedom. Murphy, who was then a member of the I.R.B., was a native of Ballybeg, Currow, Co.

FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENTBY TADHGKENNEDY (deceased) Ardrinane, Ardfert, Co. KERRY. I was born in a thatched house at Annascaul, County Kerry, a village on the main road between Tralee end Dingle, on 20th August 1885. The part of the village in which I was born is in the townland of Ardrinane, and the other parts of the village are in the townlands of Brackloon and Anagap. The name of the village, Annascaul, is derived from the ford at that point where the road to Dingle leads across the river Scál and is a corruption of the word, Átha-na-Scáil, meaning, in English, the River of the Hero, and the hero being Cuchulainn whose grave is reputed to be on the side of the mountain above Droumavalla, north of Annascaul. There was a controversy in the "Leader" years ago about the meaning of the word Annascaul and I remember Dr. Douglas Hyde, "Beirt Fhear" (Mr. J.J. Doyle) and Mr. D.P. Moran, editor of the "Leader", visited Annascaul to carry out investigations locally into it. My grandmother determined it for them as Átha-an-scáil by the way in which she pronounced the word and her traditional knowledge that the lake, about two miles north of the village, is known as Loch-an-Scáil, and is traditionally associated with Cuchulainn.
