A Thaoisigh, Agus British Prime Minister, We Are Writing to You As A Thaoisigh, agus British Prime Minister, We are writing to you as relatives bereaved during the conflict to seek your assurances that our human rights as victims will no longer be disregarded or denied. As you are aware the legacy of our conflict has not been resolved. The peace process has repeatedly failed to deliver on our rights to truth, justice and accountability. In 2014 with the signing of the Stormont House Agreement we had hope that at last, we would see human rights compliant investigations, a truth recovery process, proper archiving of lived experiences and an examination of themes and patterns. And we hoped to see important statements of acknowledgement from all actors to the conflict. On March 18th 2020 the British Secretary of State ignored the wishes of the bereaved and wider society when he unilaterally broke this promise to all victims, affected by all actors to the conflict. Brandon Lewis totally disregarded over 17,000 submissions to the NIO consultation calling for the full implementation of the above legacy mechanisms. We are further dismayed at attempts to secure an amnesty for British State forces and their agents. Recent comments by the British Secretary of State that he is committed to a form of the Overseas Operations Bill to the island of Ireland are an attempt to justify and continue State impunity. No amnesty can be countenanced. Not for any actor to the conflict. We the below signed wish to state that the Stormont House Agreement was a compromise, however it offered a human rights pathway to addressing our rights as citizens and as bereaved relatives. This would address the legacy of State impunity and independently investigate all actors equally. We urge both of you to immediately turn your attention to this matter and fulfil the commitment in the New Decade New Approach document that the Stormont House Agreement be implemented in full without further prevarication or delay.

  • Modular Neural Tile Architecture for Compact Embedded Hardware Spiking Neural Network
    Neural Process Lett DOI 10.1007/s11063-012-9274-5 Modular Neural Tile Architecture for Compact Embedded Hardware Spiking Neural Network Sandeep Pande · Fearghal Morgan · Seamus Cawley · Tom Bruintjes · Gerard Smit · Brian McGinley · Snaider Carrillo · Jim Harkin · Liam McDaid © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012 Abstract Biologically-inspired packet switched network on chip (NoC) based hardware spiking neural network (SNN) architectures have been proposed as an embedded comput- ing platform for classification, estimation and control applications. Storage of large synaptic connectivity (SNN topology) information in SNNs require large distributed on-chip mem- ory, which poses serious challenges for compact hardware implementation of such archi- tectures. Based on the structured neural organisation observed in human brain, a modular neural networks (MNN) design strategy partitions complex application tasks into smaller subtasks executing on distinct neural network modules, and integrates intermediate outputs in higher level functions. This paper proposes a hardware modular neural tile (MNT) archi- tecture that reduces the SNN topology memory requirement of NoC-based hardware SNNs by using a combination of fixed and configurable synaptic connections. The proposed MNT contains a 16:16 fully-connected feed-forward SNN structure and integrates in a mesh topol- ogy NoC communication infrastructure. The SNN topology memory requirement is 50% of the monolithic NoC-based hardware SNN implementation. The paper also presents a lookup table based SNN topology memory allocation technique, which further increases the memory utilisation efficiency. Overall the area requirement of the architecture is reduced by an aver- age of 66% for practical SNN application topologies. The paper presents micro-architecture details of the proposed MNT and digital neuron circuit.

    INTERVIEWS We moved then from Castletown Cross to Dundalk. My father was on the Fire Brigade in Dundalk and we had to move into town and we Bridie went to the firemen’s houses in Market Street. Jack, my eldest brother, was in the army at the time and as my father grew older Jack O’Byrne eventually left the army. He got my father’s job in the Council driving on the fire brigade and nee Rooney, steamroller and things. boRn Roscommon, 1919 Then unfortunately in 1975 a bomb exploded in ’m Bridie O’Byrne - nee Crowes Street (Dundalk). I was working in the Echo at the time and I was outside the Jockeys Rooney. I was born in (pub) in Anne Street where 14 of us were going Glenmore, Castletown, out for a Christmas drink. It was about five minutes to six and the bomb went off. At that in Roscommon 90 time I didn’t know my brother was involved in years ago 1 . My it. We went home and everyone was talking Imother was Mary Harkin about the bomb and the bomb. The following day myself and my youngest son went into town from Roscommon and my to get our shopping. We went into Kiernan’s first father was Patrick Rooney to order the turkey and a man there asked me from Glenmore. I had two how my brother was and, Lord have mercy on Jack, he had been sick so I said, “Oh he’s grand. “Did you brothers Jack and Tom and He’s back to working again.” And then I got to not know my sister Molly; just four of White’s in Park Street and a woman there asked me about my brother and I said to her, “Which that your us in the family.

They commemorate his brother Calum, whose work on each side of the North Channel on behalf of the Irish Folklore Commission and of the School of Scottish Studies, recording the oral tradition of those whom Calum, quoting the Irish poet F. R. Higgins, described as ‘the lowly, the humble, the passionate and knowledgeable stock of the Gael’,2 is as potent a symbol as there could be of the continuing reality of a greater Gaeldom, however attenuated, into our own times.

    THE BIG ANDTHE BIG AND THE LONG THE LONG FELLOW FELLOW Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh Fearghal Mac Bhloscaidh formed the basis of the civil war. As Liam Mellows told the Dáil on 4 January 1922: ‘The people who are in favour of the Treaty are not in favour of the Treaty on its merits, but are in favour of the Treaty The Big and the Long because they fear what is to happen if it be rejected. That is not the will of the people, that is the fear of Fellow; or the Tragedy the people’.5 and Farce of the Irish In retrospect, two men appeared to dominate southern politics in the period. Michael Collins, the Big Counter-Revolution. Fellow, was one; the other, Eamon de Valera—the Tall Fellow—apparently believed that history would Fearghal McCluskey record Collins’ greatness at his own expense. Yet this traditional concentration on ‘great men’ ignores the fact that both did indeed make their own history, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past. Ireland and its dead generations clearly weighed like a nightmare on the In June 1920, the head of the British Army, Henry living. The calibre of leadership that emerged during Wilson, feared ‘the loss of Ireland to begin with; the counter-revolution arguably doubled the burden, the loss of empire in the second place; and the loss as the aborted class struggle in Ireland created of England itself to finish with.’1 Two years later, circumstances and relationships that made it possible with Wilson’s corpse barely cold, Michael Collins, for a pair of grotesque mediocrities to play the part of who apparently ordered his assassination, launched heroes—one at the tail end of the revolutionary crisis a civil war against his former republican comrades precipitated by World War I, the other on the coattails with British artillery.

The ancestry of these northern tribes and their kings is proclaimed in the Chronicon Scotorum as belonging to the Sil Cuinn (Race of Conn), not Ui Neill.

  • Your O'farrell Family History
    Your O’Farrell Family History History of the Farrell / O’Farrell Name As both (O')Farrell and (O')Ferrall, this name in Irish is ÓFearghail, from the personal name Fearghal, made up of fear, "man", and gal, "valour". The original Fearghal or Fergal from whom the family claim descent was king of Conmaicne and was killed at Clontarf in 1014. His great grandfather Angall gave his name to the territory they possessed, Annally in Co. Longford. The present name of both the county and the town derives from the family, the full name in Irish being Longphuirt Uí Fhearghaill, O'Farrell's Fortress. They ruled this area for almost seven centuries, down to the final catastrophes of the seventeenth century, after which many members of the family fought with distinction in the armies of continental Europe. Today the surname is one of the most common in Ireland, with a wide distribution throughout the country, though the largest concentration remains in the historic homeland of Longford and the surrounding areas. Throughout this document, the surname Farrell is often referred to as O’Farrell and visa versa. For example, Sandra’s Great Grandmother Julia Whelan married Michael Farrell in 1896. His father is also listed as Michael Farrell on their marriage certificate. In the 1901 census, Julia is listed as Julia Farrell with her son Patrick Farrell. However, in the 1911 census, she is listed as Julia O’Farrell with her son Patrick O’Farrell. The O’Farrell surname seems to have stuck on the maternal line since then. Conversely, on Sandra’s paternal line, the O’Farrell surname seems to have been lost and replaced with just Farrell when Sandra’s paternal grandfather dropped the O and became a Farrell.

  • Kingship, Lordship, and Resistance: a Study of Power in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Ireland
    Trinity College, Dublin School of Histories and Humanities Department of History Kingship, lordship, and resistance: a study of power in eleventh- and twelfth-century Ireland Ronan Joseph Mulhaire Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2020) Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _______________________ RONAN MULHAIRE 2 Summary This thesis starts from the premise that historians of medieval Ireland have interpreted ‘power’ in a very narrow way. As chapter one illustrates, through a review of the historiography of Irish kingship, the discussion of ‘power’ has, hitherto, amounted to a conversation about the ways in which the power of the greater Irish kings grew over the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries (at the expense of the lesser kings). Engaging with the rich corpus of international literature on power, as is done in chapter one, reveals the sheer complexity and vicissitudes of ‘power’ as a concept. Many writers and thinkers on the subject have identified resistance as a means through which to view power relations, and it is along these lines that the rest of the thesis runs. Chapters three and four are concerned with the subject of resistance; with regicide and revolt, respectively. Both mine the Irish annals.
