Welcome to the County Athletic Finals WELCOME TO THE COUNTY ATHLETIC FINALS I extend a very warm welcome on behalf of Golden Vale Fresh Milk Clare Community Games Executive Committee to all the young competitors participating to-day, as well as their managers and parents from the different Areas to this our fortieth County Athletic Finals. I would like to commend the Area Committees around the County for the wonderful dedication, dynamism and commitment in developeing and promoting the Community Games at local level, which now embraces every Parish in the County. The County Athletic Finals have always been the highlight of the Games’ activities and today is no exception with over 2,000 young people competing, who look forward annually to the finals. The atmosphere of the occasion proclaims more clearly than any words could, the value of the mission of Gommunity Games. It is easy, having experienced the atmosphere of the Finals to imagine the immensity of what is being achieved by each of the Area Committees in Clare along the busy road to the Finals. The Community Games continue to thrive not by accident but because of the commitment of many volunteers. To those who have given their time throughout the year I say a special thank you. You have decided to leave the sidelines and to participate. The work you have done and the time you give is a huge service, support and benefit to you community and County. 1 The young people you are working with are the adults and leaders of the future. Participating in the Community Games and learning the values of community solidarity and the voluntary effort is the best possible education that they can have. It is these principles that will sustain us and ensure a continuity of our shared values for the future. Many organizations contributed to the success of the Athletic Finals, and in particular I want to thank our present sponsor, Golden Vale Fresh Milk, for whose financial assistance we are most grateful. We are deeply indebted to the Officials of the County Athletic Association and the Athletic Clubs without whose assistance and expertise we could not run off our Athletic Finals. We acknowledge with thanks the support of Clare County Council and the Shannon Development Company over the years, our Advertisers and the assistance given by the Irish Red Cross, the Garda Siochana and the Ennis Scouts, the Clare Champion, the Clare People, Clare FM., the County Express, the County Advertisers and the Clare Courier. I would like to thank Mr Eddie Power, Town Clerk Ennis Town Council and Mr.Richard Murphy and his Staff at Lees Road for their help and assistance May you all have most pleasant and enjoyable day. John O’Sullivan President MESSAGE FROM FIACH McHUGH, COUNTY CHAIRMAN I am delighted to welcome Golden Vale Fresh Milk as our main sponsor. Their sponsorship has greatly enabled us to expand our programme of sporting and cultural activities to many more young people throughout the County. A special word of thanks to all our advertisers and the other sponsors. Our sincere appreciation to Clare County Council for their continued grant funding. The lasting support of our sponsors has, I feel, been been fully vindicated by the achievements of Clare Community Games in bringing the family spirit and values of the movement into our forty Areas of Community 2 life in the County. A wholesome life is what we all want to experience and live. That means a good healthy mixture of family love and affection mingled with faith, culture and recreation. Sport and games, played competitively or merely for enjoyment, recreate us physically, mentally and emotionally. Mens sana in corpore sano - A healthy mind in a healthy body - is then the appropriate motto of Community Games. I wish everyone competing the very best of luck and hope you all have an enjoyable and memorable day. Fiach McHugh County Chairman TRIBUTE TO THE OFFICIALS I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to you, the hundreds of volunteers throughout the County for the generous contribution you have made to the Games during the year. Your spirit of generousity and pride in your Community has proved that your hearts are in the right place. A special word of thanks to all who helped to prepare the Athletic Arena and run off the athletic finals. I would like to thank all the officials, managers, co-ordinators and Area Committees for their whole hearted co- operation, assistance and support to me during the year. A special word of appreciation is due to this year’s finalists for the very considerable success you have already accomplished. I wish you all every good luck and enjoyment to-day. I know that each and everyone of you will do your best and take part in a spirit of fair play and generosity befitting this great annual festival of athletics. Good luck to you all. Mary Phelan County Secretary 3 MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL ROCHE, GOLDEN VALE FRESH MILK Golden Vale Fresh Milk is delighted with the opportunity to be associated with such a vibrant and energetic organisation as the Clare Community Games. The enthusiasm of the committee, the participants and all the volunteers is a priceless asset to the community and the young people of Clare We are proud that Golden Vale Fresh Milk can support this priceless effort, that is, Community Games in Clare, and hopefully Golden Vale Fresh Milk and Clare Community Games can continue this proud association long into the future.

    Weekend Sport Irish Examiner Saturday, 19.05.2018 6 THE BIG INTERVIEW THE JOHN FOGARTY INTERVIEW Twenty years ago, there were the three shadowy priests who, it was claimed, had knowledge of Colin Lynch’s suspension before the Munster Council had even met to decide his faith. In Liam Doyle, Seánie McMahon, and Anthony Daly, meanwhile, Clare had the three wise kings, forming one of hurling’s greatest half-back lines. Two decades on from the Banner’s last Munster SHC success and the All-Ireland title that got away, the trio recall that tumultuous summer of ’98, from Lynch’s ban to Jimmy Cooney’s bad time-keeping The one that got away from Banner brothers John Fogarty: Twenty years on, how ship.

Vice O/C. 5th Battalion Mid-Glare Brigade. Subject. Fifth Battalion Mid-Clan Brigade Irish vol's. 1914-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No. S.2368 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY THOMAS SHALLOO, Parliament St., Ennistymon, Co. Glare, formerly Vice O/C 5th Battalion, Mid dare Brigade. I was born on 12.1.1895 at Caherclough, Ennistymon, where my people were farmers. At present I carry on business as a publican and as a commercial traveller, having a number of agencies for the counties. of Glare and Galway. I joined the Irish Volunteers on their formation in Ennistymon early in 1914. My recollection now is that the unit was, under the control of a committee, and that it contained about 150 men from the town and the surrounding districts. Drilling, which took place in the Town Hall, was under the control of three. instructors, Andy O'Brien, Christy Doyle and Ambrose Kelligher, all ex British Army men. We drilled twice a week, timber guns being used for musketry instruction at first, and after some months the unit got a dozen Martini Henry rifles through some source of which Phi not aware. The instructors were very competent men and by the summer of 1914. they had moulded the Ennistymon unit into a smart military body well versed in squad, company and musketry drill. Though the Town Hall was.! then the headquarters of the unit, we did most of our training in field outside the town and also got some practice in skirmishing and manoeuvres on the surrounding countryside.

  • Ennis Cathedral
    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.
