A Fractious and Naughty People: the Border Reivers in Ireland
A Fractious and Naughty People: The Border Reivers in Ireland By Trevor Graham King James the Sixth faced a serious problem in 1604. He had just become the King of England the previous year, in addition to already being the King of Scotland. He had recently ordered the border between Scotland and England pacified of the “Border Reivers”, warlike families whose activities of raiding and pillaging had been encouraged (and in some cases, funded) by the Scottish and English governments during times of war. Armies were hard to maintain, but entire families of marauders were cost effective and deadly. But now, with the countries united under a single monarch and supposed to be working together, their wanton destruction was no longer tolerated and was swiftly punished by the English and Scottish March Wardens with “Jeddart justice” (summary execution). He couldn’t hang all those responsible, so James decided to relocate the troublesome families. Recently, rebellious earls in Ireland had fled the country, and plans were set up to settle that land with loyal Protestants from Great Britain. But there were not enough settlers, and many native Irish still lived on that land in the northern part known as Ulster. Hoping to solve both problems at once, James and his government sent many Border families to the plantations around Ireland. Instead of being productive and keeping the peace however, they instead caused a sectarian split within Ireland. This led to nearly 400 years of bloodshed, leaving a scar that has remained to this day in Northern Ireland. To find out how all this fury and bloodshed began, we go back to 1601, when the combined forces of Hugh O’Neil, Hugh O’Donnell, and a Spanish force were defeated by the English at Kinsale.

The Belleek Census Returns of 1901 & 1911 the Belleek Census
UK Belleek Collectors’ Group Newsletter 25/2, September 2004 The Belleek Census Returns of 1901 & 1911 On and off, as time has been available in recent years, I have been analysing the census returns of 1901 and 1911 for Belleek town. The returns are available at the National Archives in Dublin, where I have accessed them, and also at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland in Belfast. The following article is part of that analysis and concerns the Pottery and some other occupational categories of the townspeople as given in their returns to the census enumerator. The years between 1901 and 1911 were difficult times for the pottery and it seems that their concentration on the production of parian ware to the exclusion of other forms of pottery may not have been good policy. They may have made quite a name for themselves with the International Centre Piece at the Paris exhibition of 1900 but, by 1907, the pottery was only considered worthy of a small table at the Irish International Exhibition in Dublin. In that same year Cardinal Logue of Dublin was present at the pottery's Annual General Meeting, for what purpose one can only surmise. In July 1901 a former employee and decorator at Belleek, Eugene Sheerin, writing from a Dublin address to the paper "lreland's Gazette, Loyal & National" about the possible opening of a pottery in Dublin following the discovery of some china clay deposits says "In the making of best white earthenware, or delph, Belleek has elected to fall completely out of the race; so that if a lady or gentleman wanted to buy a dinner or toilet service in Dublin today, it would be utterly impossible to find one of Irish manufacture, hence it will be seen that there is great danger that the art of pottery as a whole will very shortly become extinct in Ireland once more." The two census returns do not, of course, provide answers to any questions about underlying causes for economic or social activity but they can provide valuable evidence on which to base our historical re-enactments.

Sustaining Improvement Inspection (Involving Action Short Of
PRIMARY INSPECTION Brookeborough Primary School, Brookeborough, County Fermanagh Education and Training Inspectorate Controlled, co-educational Report of a Sustaining Improvement Inspection (Involving Action Short of Strike) in March 2017 Sustaining Improvement Inspection of Brookeborough Primary School, County Fermanagh (201-1894) Introduction In the last inspection held in September 2013, Brookeborough Primary School was evaluated overall as very good1. A sustaining improvement inspection (SII) was conducted on 8 March 2017. The purpose of the SII is to evaluate the extent to which the school is capable of demonstrating its capacity to effect improvement through self-evaluation and effective school development planning. Four of the teaching unions which make up the Northern Ireland Teachers’ Council (NITC) have declared industrial action primarily in relation to a pay dispute. This includes non-co-operation with the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI). Prior to the inspection, the school informed the ETI that all of the teachers including the principal would not be co-operating with the inspectors. The ETI has a statutory duty to monitor, inspect and report on the quality of education under Article 102 of the Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) Order 1986. Therefore, the inspection proceeded and the following evaluations are based on the evidence as made available at the time of the inspection. Focus of the inspection Owing to the school’s participation in industrial action: • the inspection was unable to focus on evaluating the extent to which the school is capable of demonstrating its capacity to effect improvement through self-evaluation and effective school development planning; and • lines of inquiry were not selected from the development plan priorities.

Moat Ring, Or Cornashea, Lisnaskea
Hidden Gems and Forgotten People LISNASKEA HISTORICAL SOCIETY MOAT RING OR CORNASHEE, COUNTY FERMANAGH This site that local people call “The Moat Ring” because of its shape is also called Cornashee which means “Hill of the Fairies” and “Skeagoura” which means “Assembly of the White Mare” or “Assembly of the Shield” or “Assembly of the White Thorn”. All are possible translations because this was where the Maguire Chieftain was inaugurated and the white mare as well as the shield and the white thorn were intrinsic to these ceremonies. This is also where Lisnaskea gets its name! The mound is about 32 metres in diameter and topped with the flattened platform of small stones; the photographs do not do it justice! Under the mound is probably a prehistoric grave-site with kerb-stones around the circumference but the only archaeological research has had to be non intrusive and the geophysical results were inconclusive because of the density of the mound. However it was surely a very important place in ancient culture and there are a number of similar sites around Lisnaskea dating from 3,000-4,000 years ago. To mark 400 years after the Flight of the Earls in 1607 the Lisnaskea Historical Society arranged a re-enactment of the crowning of the Maguire Donn Carragh Maguire by the O’Neill from Tyrone their overlords. Four local schools took part and Enniskillen Museum provided the Maguire emblem and the chieftain’s costumes. The bard was played by Seamus Mc Canny and the Chief Herald by John Reihill. The sounds carried far from the height of the mound and the visibility was so good that five counties, including Fermanagh, could be seen from the top.

Area Profile of Ballinamallard
‘The Way It Is’ Area Profiles A Comprehensive Review of Community Development and Community Relationships in County Fermanagh December 98 AREA PROFILE OF BALLINAMALLARD (Including The Townland Communities Of Whitehill, Trory, Ballycassidy, Killadeas And Kilskeery). Description of the Area Ballinamallard is a small village, approximately five miles North of Enniskillen; it is located off the main A32, Enniskillen to Irvinestown road on the B46, Enniskillen to Dromore road. Due to its close proximity to Enniskillen, many of the residents work there and Ballinamallard is now almost a ‘dormitory’ village - house prices are relatively cheaper than Enniskillen, but it is still convenient to this major settlement. With Irvinestown, located four miles to its North, the village has been ‘squeezed’ by two economically stronger settlements. STATISTICAL SUMMARY: BALLINAMALLARD AREA (SUB-AREAS: WHITEHILL, TRORY, BALLYCASSIDY, KILLADEAS) POPULATION: Total 2439 Male 1260 (51.7%) Female 1179 (48.3%) POPULATION CHANGE 1971-1991: 1971 1991 GROWTH 2396 2439 1.8% HOUSEHOLDS: 794 OCCUPANCY DENSITY: 3.07 Persons per House. DEPRIVATION: OVERALL WARD: Not Deprived (367th in Northern Ireland) Fourth Most Prosperous in Fermanagh ENUMERATION DISTRICTS: NINE IN TOTAL Four Are Deprived One In The Worst 20% in Northern Ireland UNEMPLOYMENT (September 1998): MALES 35 FEMALES 18 OVERALL 53 RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: CATHOLIC: 15.7% PROTESTANT: 68.2% OTHERS / NO RESPONSE: 16.1% Socio-Economic Background: The following paragraphs provide a review of the demographic, social and economic statistics relating to Ballinamallard village and the surrounding townland communities of Whitehill, Trory, Ballycassidy and Killadeas. According to the 1991 Census, 2439 persons resided in the Ballinamallard ward, comprising 1260 males and 1179 females; the population represents 4.5% of Fermanagh’s population and 0.15% of that of Northern Ireland.
