The Feile explores the common themes between folk traditions of other countries, cultures and regions and the Irish folk and in particular the Erris folk tradition. We do this by inviting folk arts performers from those other traditions to the area and have them perform in the villages of the area and in that way promote interaction between the different cultures and the local people .

Carmen Cullen presents her show 'Hello Delia Murphy', a tribute to her aunt, the singer Delia Murphy, in the De Valera Library, Ennis on Tuesday 23rd May at 12pm. Delia Murphy, from Hollymount, Co. Mayo, was one of Ireland's best known recording stars of the 30s and 40s in Ireland. A revered figure in Irish music Delia is thought of today as being one of the major figures of Irish song. She was a mold-breaker and pioneer in her field and created a role for herself as an Irish female popular singer that, some would say, hasn't been equalled yet.

  • 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. THE POTATO CROP THE POTATO CROP PERSECUTION Mayo Constitution (11-11-1845) TO THE EDITOR OF AND STARVATION The Telegraph (19-8-1846) In some cases the damage is found, on THE CONSTITUTION Rathbane, 29th December, 1845 digging out the potatoes, to be only On Monday last upwards of 500 poor, partial, in other cases the injury and loss wretched, emaciated human beings are, very great.

  • Resurrecting the County Mayo Section of the Now Closed Railway Line Built
    Resurrecting the County Mayo section of the now closed railway line built by the Waterford Limerick and Western Railway This guide is for users of graymac’s IWR route for BVE Train Sim who might want to know a little about the original railway on which the route is based. For latest IWR downloads and other information please visit www.iwrsim.graymacimage.com Notes for UK rail enthusiasts Irish Railway operation is in many aspects similar to methods practised in the UK. These differences will be most apparent when using the train simu- lator. The sign instructing the driver to sound the horn/whistle in Ireland is a rectangular board with reflector or light and black and yellow diagonal stripes. Advance permanent speed restriction (PSR) warnings, as per UK rail- ways, are not used in Ireland, large speed reductions being incrementally signed instead. PSR signs are yellow, octagonal, with black border and the limit shown in MPH. AWS is not in use in the Republic, there being other in-cab systems in force. For the benefit of train sim users AWS has been fitted, although not true to prototype. Irish passenger train drivers do not seem to have the need of signs (3-car, 4-car, S, etc) to tell them the stopping place at platforms as none are evi- dent at Claremorris. Obviously they must know the right place and wish to keep it a secret. Mile posts are of a different pattern to UK types. This railway line closed in 1963. In order to re-open it today many au- tomated crossings would be required.

  • 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 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.
