Lislea Drama Festival Panel Lislea has a theatrical tradition to rival any in the country. In 1904, Lislea Players, a group inspired by local teachers Michael McParland and Eugene O’Callaghan and mentored by Canon Charles Quin, began performing plays in the Pembroke Hall. Although this trailblazing troupe dissolved around 1930, Lislea Rural Drama Festival Committee, 1982 The Committee included Eugene Hannaway (Chairman), Michael McCann (Vice-Chairman), Josephine McParland (Secretary), they were replaced a decade later by Lislea Dramatic Players, Peter McParland (Treasurer), Pat Hannaway, Gerry McParland, Eileen Keane, Tony McParland, Hugh Murphy, Mary Murphy, who are still thriving today. Madge Hannaway, Joe Murphy, Leo Garvey, Denis Crawley, Tommy Keane and Thomas Crawley The Festival owes its existence to this group, and to the vision of one of its leading members, Eugene Hannaway. Sensing a rekindling of interest in rural theatre in the 1980s, he hoped that establishing a drama competition in Lislea Cast of Lislea Dramatic Players Cast of Lislea Dramatic Players in the 2003 production of “All my would boost that renaissance.

  • 1951 Census Armagh County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7s M NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN ffiELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST ; HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Governinent of Northern Ireland was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of m^ore limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid­ night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious profession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

Conditions, if any, stipulated by Witness Nil File No. S.1666 Form Statement by John McCoy, Greenhills, Kill, Co. Kildare. I was born on a farm of about 70 acres in a bowl shaped valley surrounded with mountains in South Armagh. My mother who died when I was 15 years of age was an O'Hanlon. Her family claimed direct descent from the Princes of Orior who before the plantation of Ulster were the traditional standard bearers to the O'Neills, Princes of Tyrone. The last chieftain of the O'Hanlon clan was Redmond 0'Hanlon who at the time of the plantation of Ulster in or about 1670 was serving as an officer in the French Army and had been awarded the title of Count by the French Government. My earliest recollection of my mother was her recounting to me the successes and adventures of her famous forebearer who returned to Ulster to drive the Sassanagh out and deal in particular with the undertakers who had murdered his Ulster kith and kin and taken possession of his family lands in the neighbourhood of Tanderagee, Co. Armagh. I was told how this same Redmond O'Hanlon gathered together a body of men who were prepared to take up the hazardous endeavour of an Irish Rapparee in order to harass and dispossess the planters who had taken over all the rich lands of the area.

The townlands are an historical source that encompasses the mythology of Ireland - the Cattle Raid of Cooley, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - as well as the early Christian period. But above all else they are the repository of the Irish language which was spoken widely by the people up to the 1920's in areas like Dromimee, Killeavy and Mullaghbane.
