Nil File No. S.2607 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY ANDREW 0'DONORUE, Lickeen, Kilfenora, Co. Clara. (Formerly 0/C, 5th Battalion, Mid Clara Brigade.) I was born in January, 1897, in the townland of Lickeen in the parish of Kilfenora. My people were farmers. I received my education at Cahershertin national school which I attended until I was about fifteen years of age, having reached the sixth standard. Our house was one in which the neighbours used to gather at night to discuss the events of the day and talk about old times. Some very old men comprised the gatherings and, as a youth, I was very interested in their accounts of Daniel O'Connell and his times, the Fenians, the various evictions in different parts of the locality, Parnell and Michael Davitt, the Land League, the Plan of Campaign and the Moonlighters. About the activities of the Lickeen Moonlighters, their trial and sentence, these old men told all they knew, and it was from them that I learned that my own people Were prominently connected with the physical force side of the Land League movement. My Uncle Michael was, in fact, one of the leaders of the Moonlighters in the district. As a consequence of what I had been listening to in the course of these fireside talks, I concluded that, if Ireland could get rid of the landlords, the "peelers" and the informers, the.

  • 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.
