Many thanks for your application form with additional information. There are a number of easy ways in which you could enhance the presentation of your application form. In the first instance it is recommended that you use the electronic form over the hardcopy. This will give you all the space you need to describe your projects clearly and succinctly. The second point is to do with your additional information. The adjudicator welcomes the use of photos but these should be limited in number and be specifically related to projects undertaken. It is best to leave long descriptions out in favour brief captions which refer back to the application form. If presenting before and after photographs one of each is quite sufficient. Your additional information was tied together rather loosely in four different collections and this presented the adjudicator with a rather unwieldy volume of material. You could use a small ring binder or, better still, insert the photos digitally into the application form, thereby eliminating the need for loose pages.

Ballaghaderreen and the Mayo-Roscommon Boundary
..;.. BALLAGHADERREEN AND THE MAYO-ROSCOMMON BOUNDARY h Map Location of Ballaa:haderreen: In 1824 the British Parliament authorised a survey of the whole island of Ireland, at a scale of six inches to one mile. This undertaking was entrusted to the military Board of Ordnance, and the survey became known as the Ordnance Survey. The beautiful 6" maps, produced as a ,result of the survey, were published over the years 1833 to 1846. The maps for County Roscommon appeared in 1837; those for County Mayo in 1838. If one wishes to find the map of the Ballaghaderreen area in that first Ordnance Survey, one turns to Mayo, sheet 74. After the first survey, the Ordnance Survey - as the surveying body became known - continued the work of mapping the country. It produced maps at different scales, and it published revisions of earlier maps. A major revision of the original 6" maps took place in the early years of this century. If one wishes to find the map of Ballaghaderreen area in this edition, one must now tum to Roscommon, sheet 8. Clearly by that time Ballaghaderreen had moved to County Roscommon. The Ordnance Survey does not, of course, decide the county boundaries. It simply follows the boundaries laid down by the bodies, who organise local government in the country. These bodies, sometime near the end of the last century, decided that the boundary between Counties Mayo and Roscommon should be re-drawn, so as to bring the Ballaghaderreen area from Mayo into Roscommon. Since the boundary was over three hundred years old at that time, it seems of interest to ask who made the change, and why they made it.

Mary O'flanagan
Hidden gems and Forgotten People COUNTY ROSCOMMON ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY Mary O’Flanagan Early in the 1940s Castlerea and its surrounding areas were still without any post- primary educational facilities. It is recognised that, at that time secondary education was still reserved for the privileged few. However, Mary O’Flanagan, who was joined by her sister Bea, was to change all that. A native of Cloonfower, Castlerea, Mary O’Flanagan was educated at Cloonbonniffe NS and later at the Dominican Convent, Eccles Street, Dublin. She went on to attend University College Galway where she obtained a BA a B.Com, her H. Dip and an MA. She taught for a short time in Navan, Tubbercurry and in France before returning to Castlerea to set up the first co-educational school in the town, a system of education that was very controversial at the time. On September 4th, 1940 Mean Scoil Iosef Naofa was founded at St. Patrick Street. It opened with 13 students, but by the end of the year the number had increased to 26. Mary O’Flanagan later purchased a building further down Patrick Street which was to become the school’s permanent home until free education was introduced in 1968 and then the numbers doubled. Mary O’Flanagan remained principal until her retirement in 1979. In 1983 it amalgamated with the Vocational School, which subsequently amalgamated with the Convent Secondary School in 1993 to form Castlerea Community School. Past pupils tell many stories of Mary O’s exploits – and she will go down in the history books as the woman who patrolled the streets to make sure that none of her students were out after 5 pm.

ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS 692 DOCUMENT NO. W.S. Witness James Quigley, Sandpark, Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. Identity. Member of Irish Volunteers, South Roscommon, O/C. 2nd Battalion south Roscommon Brigade, 1918 Subject. National activities, South 1917-1921. Conditions, ii any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2000 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF MR. QUTGLEY Sandpark Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. I was born at Rathconnor Four Mile House, Co. Roscommon and went to School in Carnalasson Schools and later to Farraher Christian Brothers Schools. My father was associated with the Fenian Movement hut it was not through him I inherited my rebel tendencies as he tried to impress on me to have nothing to do with such movements. It was through my association with the G.A.A. that I became interested in the Independence Movement. In travelling around to Football Matches I met and listened to the talk of many of the men who afterwards became prominent in the Movement. Though my football associations I got to know Liam Mellows. In 1916 during the period of the Rebellion our house was raided and searched by Police and Soldiers. I cannot say why this was done. Perhaps my association with some of the men who took part in the Rebellion through Football led them to believe I was also mixed up in it or it may have been on account of my father's Fenian association. I decided then that as I had the name I might as well have the gains. "Joining the Irish Volunteers".

The Subjection of Connaught
The Subjection of Connaught The O’Conors of Connaught an Historical Memoir, compiled from a MS of The Late John O’Donovan, LL.D. with additions From the State Papers and Public Records By the Rt. Hon. Charles Owen O’Conor Don (1891) A.D. 1476-1503. Owen (Caech) “ O’Conor Don,” Son of Felim Geancach. A.D. 1474-1485. BETWEEN the death of Felim O’Conor in 1474, and the death of his son Owen in 1485, little reference is made to the latter in any of the public records of the period, from which we may safely conclude that he was more peacefully inclined than some of his predecessors. He did not immediately succeed to the chieftaincy after his father’s death, as he was in captivity at that time, and, as mentioned above, the O’Conor Don sept was for a short period represented by a certain Teige O’Conor. This Teige was killed in 1476, when Owen, surnamed Caech, or the short-sighted, assumed the chieftaincy. He married Dervorgilla, [1] the daughter of Felim Finn, O’Conor Roe, and ac- cordingly we find him and Felim Finn close allies in all the family conflicts which sub- sequently arose. These conflicts were varied by attacks made by O’Donnell upon O’Conor Sligo and the English, and for several successive years little is recorded in the Irish chron- icles save the exploits of O’Donnell. In 1478 the annalists record that disputes arose “ between Felim Finn and O’Conor Don on the one side, and the young sons of Teige O’Conor, the descendants of Felim, and the sons of O’Conor Roe on the other,” and Turlough Roe, the son of Roderic, the son of Felim, “ a choice son of a king, was slain.” At this period the English influence in Connaught was very slight.

The Life and Achievements of the Remarkable Walter Jones Deserve A
Ambrose of Kildare and Henry of Clogher and afterwards of Meath. Two other sons, Michael and Theophilus, were to achieve high military rank and prominence on the side of the Parliamentary forces during the CivilWar of ·the 1640s. In 1647 after a three year stint in Cheshire, Colonel Michael Jones was appointed Governer of Dublin and commander of the Parliamentary forces in Leinster. Successes against the combined Royalist and Irish armies had gained him promotion to Ueutenant-General by the time Oliver Cromwell arrived at Dublin in August 1649. When Cromwell set out on -.his Irish campaign, he was accoinpanied by Jones, who Was second in command. However, Jones, having become ill with suspected cholera during the Waterford campaign, died on December 10th. in Dungarvan and was buried in St. Mary's Church, Youghal. Michael's brother, Sir Theophilus Jones, sailed to Ireland with Cromwell to take command of the Parliamentary army in Ulster. In 1659 he performed a different role by working for the restoration of Charles II. The third Jones brother to settle in Ireland, Henry, Dr. Walter A. Jones Ph.D. was a direct ancestor of Oliver Goldsmith. His The life and achievements of the remarkable Walter grandson, Rev. Theophilus Oliver Jones of Smith-Hill, Jones deserve a much more thorough study than can be EIphin, was the grandfather of the renowned poet achieved in this short article. Gaps remain to be filled through the marriage of his daughter Annie Jones to regarding events in his life, and many of his large the Rev. Charles Goldsmith. By my reckoning, Walter collection of writings have yet to be discovered.
