  • The Land League (1879-82)
    Oughterard and Kilannin: The Land League (1879-82) Please check the following page(s) for clarification. Issues are highlighted in [red] in the transcribed text. Michael Davitt (1846-1906) Davitt, founder of the Land League, was the son of an evicted Mayo tenant. He was imprisoned for fifteen years in 1870 on charges of Fenian conspiracy in England. Released from Dartmoor prison in 1877 on ‘ticket of leave’, he returned to Ireland. He staged a mass meeting at Irishtown, Co. Mayo, on 20th April, 1879. This demonstration was called to protest against excessive rents and was attended by over 10,000. Other large meetings followed and the movement quickly spread from Mayo to Connaught and then throughout the country. The Irish National Land League was founded in Dublin on 21st October, 1879, with C. S. Parnell as its president. The objects of the Land League were 1) to reduce rack rents and 2) to obtain the ownership of the soil by its occupiers, i.e. tenant ownership. During the Land War (1879-82), Davitt wrote that the landlords were “a brood of cormorant vampires that has sucked the life blood out of the country.” The Land League was a non-violent mass movement but it used the methods of publicity, moral intimidation and boycott against landlords and land grabbers who broke the Land League code. This popular movement achieved a remarkable degree of success. Within a generation of its founding, by the early 20th century, most of the tenant farmers of Ireland had become owners of their farms and the landlord system, which had dominated Ireland for centuries, had been ended.

Doolough Pass The pass is on the R335 road, between Cregganbaun and Delphi, in County Mayo. It Introduction is a good riding road set between scenic mountains and beside a stunning lake. The Wild Atlantic Way is the coast road Doolough Pass is shown on the cover of this on the west coast of Ireland and what a guide. stunning place it is to ride! As it has become more popular in recent years, I have often been asked what are the best parts of the road to ride. Here are my top ten, in order of north to south. Other people may have other thoughts about places that are equally as good, but these are my favourites that I have ridden and seen for myself. 2. Sky Road, Clifden Immediately to the west of Clifden in County Gary France. Galway is Sky Road which runs around a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Sky Road route takes you up among the hills overlooking Clifden Bay and its offshore islands, Inishturk and Turbot. Be sure to ride around the whole Sky Road loop and I have found clockwise to be the best direction. www.tour1.co.uk 1 3. The Connemara 5.

  • Submission Re Application FS006566 for Foreshore Lease in Galway Bay
    Submission No. 301 From: Sent: 09 September 2016 09:05 To: foreshore Subject: Submission re application FS006566 for Foreshore Lease in Galway Bay 9 Sept 2016 Dear sir / Madam, I am objecting to the granting of application FS006566, “Application for a Foreshore lease for the construction of an Offshore Electricity Generating Station” for the following reasons; Firstly I have been deprived of an Environmental Impact Statement and as a result I do not have the information I require to assess the impact this development will have on the community and the wellbeing of the local and visiting tourists. Therefore I request that an Environmental Impact Study is conducted and circulated to the community before a decision is made with regards to this application. The impacts of the proposed development on the sensitive area of Galway Bay, its legally protected species and Habitats, have not been Appropriately Assessed as required by law. Ihave not been properly informed and Ihave not been consulted and included in the decision making process with regard to this application as required under the Aarhus Convention. Galway bay is known worldwide and with the Wild Atlantic Way bringing more tourists to the area which generates much needed jobs and income locally I am at a loss to understand why the impact on tourism has not been considered in this application. I am requesting that this is addressed before a decision is made with regards to this application No consideration has been given to the fact that Galway (City and County) has been selected as the European Capital of Culture for 2020.
