Connacht Schools Athletics Champions 1937-2021 Connacht Schools Athletics Champions 1937-2021 On 3 March 1937 at a meeting of the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union in Jury’s Hotel, this Schools Athletic Union transformed itself into the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union on a motion that was passed unanimously. In so doing the championships arranged by the D.S.A.U. in 1937 were thrown open to all schools within Leinster. The intent of the formation of Leinster Schools’ Athletics Union was to encourage schools and colleges in the other provinces to form corresponding provincial schools’ athletic unions. Subsequently in April the NACAI invited the schools to control the All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships. By the middle of May 1937 Munster and Connacht Schools' Athletic Unions had been formed and meeting between representatives of the provincial bodies took place to form the Irish Schools Athletic Association to control and organise All-Ireland Schools Championships. Prominent driving forces to form the Connacht Schools’ Athletic Union (now the Connacht Schools’ Athletic Association) were Fr Jack Flannery of St Joseph’s Garbally College, Ballinasloe and Fr Martin McDonagh of St Mary’s College, Galway. The first President of the C.S.A.U. was the Rt Rev Monsignor Joseph Walsh (President of St Jarlath’s, Tuam), who became Archbishop of Tuam (1940–1969), the first Treasurer Fr Martin McDonagh and the first Secretary Fr Flannery. The inaugural Connacht Schools Athletic Championships were held at St Jarlath’s College, Tuam on Wednesday 26th May 1937 in ideal weather conditions and were very much the brainchild of Fr Flannery. Five schools participated – St Joseph’s College, Ballinasloe, St Jarlath’s College, Tuam, St Mary’s College, Galway, St Ignatius’s College, Galway and St Muiredeach’s College, Ballina. There were seven events for senior boys, five for junior boys and two for minor boys. Eight of the fourteen events were won by athletes from Garbally College. St Jarlath’s College withdrew the following year because ‘such athletic activities infringed upon the academic pursuits of students’ and next competed in the championships in 1949. In the late 1930’s/early 1940’s a cup for the best overall school/college at the Connacht Schools Championships was presented by Francis Patrick “Frank” Fahy who served as a Galway TD from 1921 to 1953 [1st Dáil to 14th Dáil] and was Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann from 1932 to 1951. What eventually happened to the Frank Fahy Cup is unclear but it ceased to be presented. In 1970 the Most Rev Dr Joseph Walsh promised to put up a cup for the best overall school. That year Garbally College won but the cup was not presented because it was not ready in time. The first official presentation was in 1971 when St Jarlath’s College, Tuam, took the laurels. It was the start of a remarkable period of overall dominance by St Jarlath’s, retaining the Walsh Cup an unbroken 25 times. In the nascent years of the C.S.A.U. the first All-Ireland title to be won by a Connacht athlete was in Shot Put by Thomas Fahy (St Mary’s College, Galway) in 1938, while the first All-Ireland track title was won by Kevin Ryle (Garbally College) in 1940 in the half mile. Kevin Ryle went on to the priesthood and returned to St Patrick’s Garbally as a teacher. Over the following years he provided coaching in many of the schools in the province. In 1954 Garbally College became the first Connacht school to win the Royal College of Science Cup at the All-Ireland Schools Championships held at the Iveagh Grounds, Crumlin in Dublin. Eighteen years passed before another Connacht school, St Jarlath’s Tuam, hoisted the RCS trophy in 1972, went on to retain it the following year and regained it in 1975. Forty-two years passed before St Mary’s Galway in 2017 became the next and third Connacht college to win Royal College of Science Cup.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

    Clár Oifigiúil ORÁID AN CHATHAOIRLIGH A Cháirde Gael Fáilte mhór romhaibh uilig inniu chuig an lá is mó dúinn sa bhlian seo, le cluichí tabhachtacha ar an deireadh seachtaine chéanna sa dá chód. This has been a year like no other. We need not rehearse the difficulties faced by society, by our friends, our families, our neighbours, but we as an Association have stepped up and led in our communities. The second wave is not the fault of the GAA. No organisation has had the same profoundly positive effect on Irish society as the GAA. We have been a provider of recreation and enjoyment to young and old, a creator and enhancer of community spirit, an unrivalled machine for the production of joy which has done more to improve the mental and physical health of the nation than any initiative in Irish history. We salute the communitarian spirit and ethos of all our clubs, for delivering food parcels, and allowing our games to flourish safely when permitted. We are responsible and we value our well- deserved reputation, which is why we welcome you virtually to our games this weekend. We are delighted to link up with BeoSport for the Joe McDonough Cup game with Westmeath. Since we were last together, we have had an exceptionally successful and safe club championships, and we applaud all of our county champions for providing such joy to their communities. We are exceptionally proud of our county hurling team, who performed heroically last week in Portlaoise in the league final to win promotion to the top tier of hurling.

Mo bhúiochas do gach duine uilig as ucht an obair iontach a rinn sibh ar son Cumann Lúthchleas Gael í gCúige Uladh sa bhliain seo caite. Mo bhúiochas speisialta do hoifigí agus baill an Chomhairle agus don Runaí Dónal O’Murchú agus a lucht oibre. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you here today to County Down, a county steeped in the history of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, for our 2008 Ulster Convention. At the outset I pay tribute to all involved – Down County Board, Newry Shamrocks, and Club Down – on the magnificent refurbishment of Park Esler which was officially opened last summer and which provides this proud county with a modern facility which matches its standing in our Association. Our Convention Booklet for 2008, in addition to the extensive report from our Runaí Cúige and the various Committees of the Council, includes for the first time, commencing on page 69, detailed senior staff reports on the Coaching and Games Development Programmes and an Operational Report on the broad range of other activities undertaken by the Council during the year. Taken together, all of these reports capture impressively the depth and breath of GAA activity in Ulster currently and puts in context our objectives and plans on the one hand, and our achievements on the other. The many and varied challenges which we must continue to meet are also well addressed.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicolas Evans for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 2, 2017. Title: (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Neil R. Davison This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In part, this thesis addresses misperceptions regarding The Leenane Trilogy, which was initially criticized for the plays’ shows of irreverence and use of caricature and cultural stereotypes. Rather than perpetuating propagandistic or offensive representations, my analysis explores how McDonagh uses affect and genre manipulation in order to parody artistic representation itself. Such a confrontation is meant to highlight the inadequacy of any representation to truly capture “authenticity.” Across his oeuvre, this postmodern proclivity is focused on disrupting the solidification of discourses of hyper-masculinity in the vein of postcolonial, diasporic, and mainstream media’s constructions of masculinity based on aggression and violence. ©Copyright by Nicolas Evans June 2, 2017 All Rights Reserved (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh by Nicolas Evans A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Presented June 2, 2017 Commencement June 2017 Master of Arts thesis of Nicolas Evans presented on June 2, 2017 APPROVED: Major Professor, representing English Director of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dean of the Graduate School I understand that my thesis will become part of the permanent collection of Oregon State University libraries.

  • IH Dublin Profiles
    International House Dublin Incorporating High School Ireland Dear Agent/ Parent, I am delighted to introduce this new guide to the very best of our Irish High schools. Ireland has one of the highest participation rates in second and third level education in the OECD and its standard of educational excellence is recognised worldwide. Due to the fact that even private schools are heavily subsidised by the government, Ireland represents exceptionally good value in terms of cost and quality. We present here a selection of carefully chosen public and private schools, together with a short introduction to the Irish Education system. We have expanded our High School Department, in terms both of staffing and partner schools and I am confident that we can provide a superior service to agents and students at a price which you will find competitive. You will also have the comfort that you are working with International House, an organisation internationally recognised for it’s commitment to quality. I would like to thank our High School team at International House Dublin, under the leadership of Tom Smyth, for putting together a guide which is informative, well structured and easy to use. With every best wish from the staff at High School Ireland/ International House, ________________________ Laurence Finnegan, Director www.ihdublin.com Page | 1 International House Dublin Incorporating High School Ireland WHY STUDY IN IRELAND? Ireland is an English speaking country. Ireland has one of the best education systems in Europe. Irish people are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality which greatly contributes to the ease with which overseas students adapt to student life in Ireland.

On this significant day in their family life, I extend on behalf of the University a warm welcome to parents and guardians of our graduands, who are deserving of the congratulations of us all. Since it opened its doors in 1849, over 62,000 graduates have benefited from a Galway higher education, the quality of which is attested to by the eminent positions they held, and continue to hold, not only in Ireland but across the globe. We hope that you will remain in touch with us and that you will return often in the years ahead. President Nóta Faoin Searmanas The Conferring Ceremony Cruinniú Ollscoile atá i gceist anseo.
