Postal Address: Registry of Friendly Societies PO Box 12858 Dublin 1 1 1 INDEX Introduction 3 Industrial and Provident Societies 8 Friendly Societies 16 Trade Unions 19 Miscellaneous Functions of the Registrar 23 List of Industrial and Provident Societies on the Register at 31st December 2017 24 List of Friendly Societies on the Register at 31st December 2017 46 List of Trade Unions on the Register at 31st December 2017 48 2 Introduction The Registry of Friendly Societies (RFS) is a statutory office of the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. The Registry of Friendly Societies deals with three different entity types, namely Industrial and Provident Societies which in the main consist of co-operatives; Friendly Societies; and Trade Unions which include employee unions, employer associations and trade associations. The principal legislation governing these entities is: • Industrial and Provident Societies Acts, 1893 – 2014. • Friendly Societies Acts, 1896 – 2014. • Trade Union Acts, 1871 – 1990. Statement of Strategy The Mission Statement of the Registry of Friendly Societies is: “To ensure that the various mutual entities registered at the Registry, which are subject to general regulation and supervision in varying degrees by the Registrar of Friendly Societies, comply with their statutory obligations and to maintain an up to date public record on those entities”. This mission statement is accomplished through two core objectives, namely: • The efficient and effective registration and general regulation of Industrial and Provident Societies, Friendly Societies and Trade Unions. • The provision of an efficient and effective service to the public. 3 2017 Overview At the end of 2017 there were 927 Industrial and Provident Societies, 46 Friendly Societies and 56 Trade Unions on the register, making for a combined total of 1029 registered entities. As such 2017 saw an increase of 18 in the number of societies/trade unions on the register compared to the end of 2016. The charts below show the ratio of Industrial and Provident Societies, Friendly Societies and Trade Unions on the register at 31st December 2017, and over the years 2008 – 2017. Fig. 1: Ratio of I&P Societies, Friendly Societies and Trade Unions at end 2017. Fig. 2: Ratio of I&P Societies, Friendly Societies and Trade Unions 2008-2017. 4 The fluctuation in number each year is as a result of new acknowledgements of registry, restorations, cancellations, amalgamations, transfer of engagements, dissolutions and liquidations. Details of the various registrations completed during 2017 are set out in the following pages of this report. There are additional matters which a registered society or trade union must register or record in addition to sending annual returns and accounts to the Registrar, and these matters include: • partial and complete rule amendments/alterations, • changes of name and registered office, • special resolutions. Details of each of the above matters are also included in this report. The RFS customer service targets regarding processing applications and making documents available to the public range from five to ten working days in respect of correctly completed applications, and are dependent on the nature of the application involved. From time to time the RFS carries out targeted enforcement campaigns aimed at identifying societies and unions overdue in their annual return filing obligations, seeking their compliance in coming up-to- date on the register and, where this cannot be achieved, ultimately cancelling the registration of those entities and removing them from the register. The RFS continues to monitor compliance with a view to encouraging all societies to file on a timely basis and where necessary will initiate further targeted compliance and enforcement drives. The RFS collaborates with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) regarding making information available to the public on-line, and to this end general information and prescribed forms pertaining to industrial and provident societies, friendly societies, and trade unions are available on the RFS section of the CRO website at www.cro.ie. Statutorily filed RFS documents pertaining to Industrial and Provident Societies, filed from 2010 onwards, including annual returns, are available on-line via the CRO/RFS website for purchase. This allows members of the public to view and check the status of Industrial and Provident Societies and purchase registered documents via the CRO/RFS website and has eliminated the need for in-person callers to the Office for this purpose. Payments are made by Credit/Debit card. Access to public record files for inspection and/or purchase of copies of registered documents in respect of all entities registered by the RFS is also facilitated through the public enquiries counter in the CRO at Bloom House, Gloucester Place Lower, Dublin 1 during the hours 9.30 to 13.00 and 14.15 to 16.30 Monday to Friday. As most public record files are now stored off-site it is advisable to make an appointment before attending the office to view a public record file. During 2017, fees received in the RFS amounted to €57,325.94 compared to €46,177.36 for 2016. 5 The RFS engaged throughout the year with stakeholders and the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Co-Operative Legislation Unit) in relation to matters of common interest and issues of policy concerning societies and trade unions. In December 2017 the RFS began a major IT project designed to provide an up to date filing environment for entities registered by it. It is expected that this project will be completed in late 2018. When completed, entities registered by the RFS will be able to file certain commonly filed documents, including annual returns, online and going forward there will be an online search facility for all documents filed in RFS. Electronic payments will also be facilitated. Industrial and Provident Societies During the year under review the RFS registered 32 new societies and no societies were restored to the register. A number of existing societies amended their rules either partially or completely during the year and a total of 14 societies were cancelled, 8 by initiation of the Registrar, 6 at their own request, 1 company was converted to a society and no societies converted to companies in 2017. Following cancellation Societies lose all privileges granted under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts 1893-2014 which includes the loss of limited liability. Friendly Societies Since the enactment of the Friendly Societies and Industrial & Provident Societies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 it is no longer possible to register a new friendly society. No society was restored to the register in 2017. One society was cancelled at its own request. One society had partial amendments to rules registered during the year. No society had a complete amendment to rules registered during 2017. Trade Unions No new trade union was registered in 2017. No trade union was cancelled at its own request or following dissolution. 2 trade unions had partial amendment of rules and 2 trade unions had complete alteration of rules registered during the year. 1 trade union had an instrument of transfer of engagements registered. Overview of Energy – S.I. 542 of 2009 S.I. 542 of 2009 requires public sector organisations to report annually on their energy usage and actions taken to reduce consumption. At the end of 2017, the RFS had a staffing complement of 4, (including Registrar) with certain staffing positions also having responsibilities and core functions in the CRO, including the Registrar of Friendly Societies who is also the Registrar of Companies. The RFS shared accommodation and many administration services including energy consumption with the CRO at its Dublin location. 6 Overview of Energy Usage in 2017 The CRO and Registry of Friendly Societies is in Bloom House Gloucester Place Lower, Dublin 1 and O’Brien Road, Carlow. The CRO was previously the minor energy user of Parnell House (45%) and shared the building along with a canteen, 3 meeting rooms, toilets and the reception area with The Registry of Friendly Societies (RFS) and The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). CRO Carlow is the minor energy user of O’Brien Road (45%) and shares the building with the Workplace Relations Commission while also sharing canteen facilities, toilets and the reception area. Parnell House held a D2 energy rating, while O’Brien Road, Carlow has a D1 rating. Bloom House has a Building Energy Rating of B3. BER No: 800191413. Energy Performance Indicator: 77.12kg CO2 /m2 /yr • Energy Saving related emails to staff reminding everyone to turn off PC monitors, printers etc. each evening (both locations). • Monthly ‘No-Lift Days’ (Parnell House/Bloom House).

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.

  • Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy

    Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy

    Draft Mayo County Development Plan 2021-2027 CHAPTER 2 CORE AND SETTLEMENT STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy for the County Development Plan has been prepared through extensive collaboration between the Forward Planning team, Elected Members and all relevant sections of the Council. It has also been informed by the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Northern and Western Region, the UN Sustainable Goals and the Strategic Economic Drivers influencing the sustainable future growth of County Mayo over the lifetime of the plan and beyond. The challenge is to build on the unique dispersed settlement characteristics of Mayo, in order to provide a balance, link and synergy between the rural countryside and urban settlements of the County. This will be realised through the following vision for County Mayo and the strategic aims set out below. 2.2 Vision of County Mayo ‘To create a sustainable and competitive county that supports the health and well-being of the people of Mayo, providing an attractive destination, as a place in which to live, work, invest, do business and visit, offering high quality employment and educational opportunities within strong and vibrant sustainable communities, whilst ensuring a transition to a low carbon and climate resilient county that supports high environmental quality.’ 2.3 Strategic Aims The strategic aims which relate to the advancement of this vision, are set out hereunder for each chapter of Volume 1 of the County Development Plan. The Plan aims to build on previous successes and to strengthen Mayo’s strategic advantage as a county, to ensure that we meet the needs of our citizens, communities, built and natural environments, infrastructure and economic/employment development to their full potential, while combatting and adapting to climate change.
  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

It seemed a contrived and long-winded way of saying “Happy St Patrick’s Day”!! Of course, to do that, might be considered politically incorrect and, possibly even more of an offence, an indication that something of our Sacred Story was being acknowledged. It is quite common in some countries to exchange the greeting “Happy Holidays” around the third week of December!! Again, political correctness, secular tipp-ex, seems to distance, through silence, the reason for the holiday. So where are we with this? Will we celebrate “Paddys”, “Paddy’s Day”, “Drown the Shamrock” …. ? Or, will we let the name be heard? It’s not just a choice for this week. It’s a choice we are called to make each day. Let the name - the Holy Name be spoken! Let our voice be heard! Rtin Directors: Fr. Kieran Holmes, Killala opportunities for adults and school Diocese and Fr. John Maloney leavers at this local Further Education Achonry Diocese. From the 23rd- 28th college.
