Hadden, Ltd., have carried on the family business for over one hundred years and that the Carlow Branch was purchased from Mr. Adam Ford in 1909. Mr. Ford's predecessor was Mr. Luttrell, in partnership with Mr. Burgess of Athlone, and Mr. Luttvell's predecessor was Mr. Henry Banks (a grand uncle of Mr. W. H. Hadden and at one time Chairman of the Carlow Urban District Council) who owned the main part of the present business in the middle of the 19th century. HAD DENS W. & G. HADDEN LTD. CARLOW Cailoviana _____________________________ Journal of th@Old Carlow Society Vol. I. No. 4,s: New Series, Dec. 1956 L. D. BERGIN and W. V, HADDEN, Joint Editors. Looking Forward WHEN the Old Carlow Society was founded, it aimed at contributing to the social history of the district. The Society at once attracted a fair following. Its main­ springs have been the papers written by its members and the annual publication of Carloviana. To make this Journal historically valuable and assure its wide appeal is no easy task. To give it variety we have asked people outside the Society to contribute. Father Hickey, who wrote the history of Carlow Cathedral, gives -~, us in this issue an electoral milestone of the 19th century. EDITORIAL We are conscious that the Journal could be improved, * especially if we had a more varied yearly repertoire of SHAW'S TIES WITH articles to draw on.

DUBLIN ROAD A fine social spirit generated by common interest has * so far guided the Old Carlow Society, and we hope that ACCOUNT OF PAINSTOWN the useful work it is doing will be enhanced in the years * ahead. A FAMOUS ELECTION CAMPAIGN We have lost two founder members by the departure I of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard O'Neill, who leave us a legacy in this issue, the one on George Bernard Shaw's relations THE CHRISTI:N BROTHERS 1, with Carlow-this is Shaw's centenary year-and the other IN CARLOW I a fine paper on the Dublin Road. * If future members can emulate the active interest of BIRTH OF CARLOW I COLLEGE these two members then we can rest easy about the con­ tinuing prosperity of the Old Carlow Society. I SEVEN HE centenary of George Bernard Shaw's birth T occurred on Thursday, 26th July. Shaw's ties with Carlow town and his various gifts to the people make it appropriate that we should pay him some modest Shaw's respect. His first gesture was his gift of the old Assembly Rooms, now the Carlow Technical School in Dublin Street. He offered these premises to the Technical The Civie Instruction Committee through its Chairman, the late Most Rev. Dr. Foley, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, in Improvement 1919. The premises eventually became the property of Fund the Vocational Education Committee. On 13th May, 1944, George Bt:rnard Shaw added to By L. D.

In today’s environment of mobile, financial and human capital, the focus of economic competition is increasingly on city regions. This trend is particularly significant for an open economy such as Ireland which is competing in a global market for investment and talent. In 2014 Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council amalgamated into one body - Limerick City & County Council. As outlined in the Limerick 2030 Vision: An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick report, the objective of this merger was to extend the city boundary to include urbanised parts of the county and was seen as a ‘once in a generation opportunity’ to drive new levels of employment and economic growth. In May 2017 Limerick City & County Council (LC&CC) appointed EY-DKM Economic Advisory Services (formerly DKM Economic Consultants) with MCJ Lemagnen Associates Ltd. (MCJ Lemagnen) to undertake an Economic Profile report of Limerick city (including suburbs as defined by the CSO) and county.

  • A Census of Ireland, Circa 1659 with Supplementing Materials from The
    A Census of Ireland, Circa 1659 With Supplementing Materials From the Poll Money Ordinance as transcribed from Pender’s printed and published edition of the Petty Census of 1659 by Cecilia L. Fabos-Becker, July, 2014 Part 1 of several parts to follow Surnames: Campbells, McCormicks, Wallaces, Wood’s, and Woods NOTE: In 2020, the entire surviving "census," that is, the 1659 Hearth Tax Rolls, were digitized and uploaded by Clan Maclochlainn. You will find the link under "Sources." However, if you want a quick look-up of a number of Scottish names, then these extracts, made before 2020, may be helpful to you. Seamus Pender, 1939, Dublin, Ireland, Published by the Stationery Office, “to be purchased directly from the Government Publications Sales Office, 3-4 College Street, Dublin, Ireland” Introduction (excerpts): In 1864, W.H. Harding announced before the Irish Royal Academy the discovery of what has been called “The Census of Ireland (1659).” He found the manuscripts in the Muniment Room of the Marquess of Lansdowne, at Lansdowne House in London, England. He made (handwritten) copies of the manuscripts before returning them to their owner. The copies are now in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, as paper volumes 12" x 15" in size. .... Five entire counties are missing from the returns since their creation and spoilage: Cavan, Galway, Mayo, Tyrone and Wicklow. Additionally, four baronies are missing from County Corke, and nine baronies are missing from County Meath. Harding believed some sections were literally torn apart and used as kindling for household fires by servants, at times.

This is the only climb of note on this route and the under foot conditions return to paved roads after this section. Continue on this track which used to be the old coach road route (photo left) for a little over a kilometre. Some of the spectacular views from the highest point of this route Turning west at the end of this lane it is necessary to cross the busy N80 road. On the opposite side “Ballinvalley Lane” (signposted L60664) awaits. A short walk uphill will bring you to the highest point on this route with spectacular views at every turn (photos above). A culm stone once used to grind anthracite slack and yellow clay into culm balls for burning on a “raised hearth” grate, a practice unique to the Barrow Valley, is visible from the lane, in one ‘of the gardens halfway along this 3km section.
