I would like to thank the Very Reverend Gary Paulsen for allowing me take photographs of memorials in Clonlara, Mountshannon and Killaloe, and the Rev Bob Hanna and Edwin Bailey for access to St Columba’s Church and Kilnasoolagh Church. In the last few weeks I travelled to 46 Cemeteries throughout Clare. They were mainly on the sites of old churches, monasteries or abbeys, with fascinating histories. The monks certainly had an eye for beauty and selected peaceful settings for their work. Some were on islands, nearly all were on hills, and they invariably were overlooking rivers, lakes, Lough Derg, the Shannon, the Shannon Estuary or the Atlantic. The views from some were spectacular. Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Scattery Island, Clareabbey, Quin Abbey, Killone Abbey, St Flannan’s Cathedral Killaloe, are amongst the most beautiful sites in Clare. But other less known sites like Killofin (Labasheeda), Kilferagh (Kilkee), Kilcrona (Carrigaholt), Killilagh (Doolin), Gleninagh (Ballyvaughan) and Ennistymon all have excellent views. If one has time to spare, you should drive along Lough Derg, the Shannon, the Shannon Estuary, the Wild Atlantic Way and finish by going through the Burren back to Ennis, taking in all the holy sites and views along the way. Absolutely breathtaking. 1 Clare Memorials and Graves from the Great War The following is a list of graves and memorials of soldiers, sailors, RAF pilots, Merchant Seamen, doctors, nurses, engineers, clergy, drivers, victims from the ‘Lusitania’ who were buried in Clare, Clare victims from the ‘RMS Leinster’, U.S. soldiers repatriated to Clare and former soldiers buried in Clare.

  • Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport
    Blue Flags for Lough Derg and Burren Passport Monday, 9 June 08 An Taisce has awarded the prestigious International Blue Flag to eight of County Clare’s beaches. Mountshannon and Ballycuggeran on Lough Derg retained the Blue Flag status they lost in 2006 due to the presence of algal bloom in the lake while Cappa, Kilkee, White Strand (Miltown Malbay), Lahinch and Fanore have also held on to their Blue Flags. Meanwhile, Clare County Council has expressed its delight that White Strand (Doonbeg) regained its Blue Flag for 2008. Deputy Mayor of Clare, Councillor Brian Meaney, today collected all eight flags at a ceremony in County Louth. Speaking following today's awards ceremony, Cllr Tommy Brennan,Chairof Clare County Council's Environment, Emergency Services and Consumer Protection Strategic Policy Committee said, 'I am delighted that Clare has secured eight Blue Flags this year. I especially welcome the fact that White Strand, Doonbeg regained its Blue Flag Status. This loss in 2007 was not because of inadequate bathing water quality but due to necessary access works at the beach, which Clare County Council has since successfully completed.' Cllr. Brennan indicated that the awarding of Blue Flags to eight Clare beaches was achieved through the hard work of local communities and Local Authority staff. 'Again, it is further proof of what the county can achieve when Clare Local Authorities and members of the public work together', he added. According to Sean Ward, Senior Engineer, Environment & Emergency Services Directorate, "Clare County Council is extremely happy with the eight blue flags achieved, especially the re-awarding of White Strand, Doonbeg, which is a reflection of the positive actions taken by Clare County Council at this beach to improve access." The Blue Flag award is an exclusive eco-label awarded to more than 3,000 beaches and marinas in 28 countries in the Northern Hemisphere each year.

  • 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.

Dr. Upchurch‘s constant urging for me to push my writing and theoretical understanding of imperialism further, led to a much stronger dissertation than I could have ever produced on my own.
