I remained with that company until 1918 when I moved to Ballineen, where I joined the local company under Company Captain Timothy Francis. Warren. Shortly after joining the company I was appointed Company Adjutant. During 1918 and the early days of 1919 the company was. being trained and in 1918 we had preparations made. to resist conscription. I attended meetings of the Battalion Council (Dunmanway Battalion) along with the Company Captain. The Battalion Council discussed the organisation and training in each company area. In May, 1919, the Ballineen Company destroyed Kenniegh R.I.C. barracks. which had been vacated by the garrison.. Orders were issued by the brigade through each battalion that the local R.I.C. garrison was to be boycotted by all persons in the area. This order applied to traders, who were requested to stop supplying the R.I.C. All the traders obeyed the order, with the exception of one firm, Alfred Cotters, Ballineen, who continued to supply the R.I.C. with bread. The whole family were anti-Irish and the R.I.C.

    History of Mizen Head Signal Station 1810 Only three lights on the southwest coast – Loop Head, Clear Island and the Old Head of Kinsale. 1826 2 lighthouses were erected on the Great Skellig 1847 SS Stephen Whitney, a 1034 tonnes liner, went down off Cape Clear with the loss of 100 lives and it was decided to build a lighthouse on the Fastnet or Fastness Rock as Cape Clear lighthouse was too far inland 1848 – 53 the Corporation of the Port of Dublin built a cast iron 63’ tower on the Fastnet at an estimated cost of £20,000. 1854 The Fastnet Rock Lighthouse was commissioned. The seas around the Fastnet were so strong that the structure needed constant strengthening and the costs soared to £27000. 1867 The ‘Dublin Port Act’ transferred the lighthouse powers to the Commissioners of Irish Lights. 1876 More repairs were carried out at the Fastnet Light 1881 Calf Rock (off Dursey Island) Lighthouse which was a similar construction to the Fastnet was carried away in a gale. The same gale broke the glass in the Fastnet lantern 148’ above sea level. 1883 The Fastnet was equipped with an explosive fog signal 1891 The Irish Lights Board decided that the Fastnet light was not powerful enough and proposed a 147’ granite tower to house a biform oil light. 1899-1903 The building of the Fastnet lighthouse at a cost of £84,000. 1905 There was a demand from ship owners, who fund the Lighthouse Service through harbour dues, that there should be a lighthouse at Mizen Head.

  • Bochum Paper
    A NEW ARCHAEOASTRONOMICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IRISH AXIAL-STONE CIRCLES CLIVE L.N. RUGGLES, University of Leicester, UK and FRANK PRENDERGAST, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland Abstract This paper presents the preliminary results of a project undertaken in 1994 to investigate the astronomical potential of the axial-stone circles (ASCs) of seven or more stones in Counties Cork and Kerry, south-west Ireland. This group of sites is of particular interest in that the monuments in the group bear a striking resemblance to the recumbent stone circles (RSCs) of Aberdeenshire, eastern Scotland, which appear to exhibit a strong pattern of alignment in relation to prominent hilltop summits and the rising and setting position of the moon. The first indications from the Irish data are that similar patterns of alignment are not evident in the Irish ASCs. The Irish sites show no preference for orientation upon prominent hilltops and no clear astronomical trends. Introduction Astronomical alignments were quite extensively incorporated into monumental architecture at different times during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the British Isles. Examples such as the solar alignment of the passage grave at Newgrange (Patrick 1974) and the solar axial orientation of Stonehenge in its later phases (Ruggles 1997a) are well known. Contrary to popular belief, the sites concerned were not “observatories” in the modern sense of the word, and there is no convincing evidence that the alignments were of any great precision (Ruggles 1997b). The astronomy was, rather, symbolic; studying the nature of this symbolism, and its manifestations in different groups of prehistoric monuments, gives us valuable insights into changing customs and beliefs in Britain during the third and second millennia BC (Ruggles and Burl 1995).

  • 5/1 Chapter 5 the SOUTH-WEST Counties East, South and North-West CORK -- KERRY -- West LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island T
    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork. They agree with O'Connor [2] : It was not alone the miserable paucity of accommodation and utter indifference to the comfort of the passengers, that made the voyage an intolerable evil. Though it usually occupied but three or four days, frequently as many weeks were expended in making it. It was once our lot to pass a month between the ports of Bristol and Cork; putting back, every now and then, to the wretched village of Pill, and not daring to leave it even for an hour, lest the wind should change and the packet weigh anchor..
