The existing sewers had inadequate capacity and some of the older pipelines had been laid at a relatively flat fall and so could not achieve self cleansing velocities.

  • Exceptional Stress and Reduced Vowels in Munster Irish Anton Kukhto
    Exceptional stress and reduced vowels in Munster Irish Anton Kukhto Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] ABSTRACT 1.2. Exceptions to the basic pattern This paper focuses on reduced vowels in one of the Munster dialects of Modern Irish, Gaeilge Chorca There exist, however, numerous exceptions to this Dhuibhne. In this dialect, lexical stress depends on rule. Some are caused by the morphological structure syllable weight: heavy syllables (i.e. syllables that of the word. Thus, some verbal inflection morphemes contain phonologically long vowels) attract stress; if exceptionally attract lexical stress, e.g. fógróidh (sé) [foːgǝˈroːgj] ‘(he) will announce’, while others fail to there are none, stress is initial. There exist exceptions, j j one of them being peninitial stress in words with no do so contrary, e.g. molaimíd [ˈmoləm iːd ] ‘we heavy syllables and the string /ax/ in the second praise’; for more details on such cases, see [21]. Other syllable. Instead of deriving this pattern from the exceptions are lexical in the sense that the stress is properties of /x/ in combination with /a/ as has been unpredictable and does not obey the general laws done in much previous work, the paper argues for the outlined above. These are often found to exhibit presence of a phonologically reduced vowel in the anomalous behaviour in other Irish dialects as well, first syllable. The paper argues that such vowels are not only in the South, cf. tobac [tǝˈbak] ‘tobacco’ or phonetically and phonologically different from bricfeasta [brʲikˈfʲastǝ] ‘breakfast’. underlying full vowels that underwent a post-lexical Another class of exceptions seems to stem from process of vowel reduction.

  • Big House Burnings in County Cork During the Irish Revolution, 1920–21*
    James S. Big House Burnings Donnelly, Jr. in County Cork during the Irish Revolution, 1920–21* Introduction The burning of Big Houses belonging to landed Protestants and the occasional Catholic was one of the most dramatic features of the Irish Revolution of 1919–23. Of course, the Protestant landed elite was only a shadow of its former self in the southern parts of Ireland by the time that revolution erupted in 1919. But even where land- owners had sold their estates to their tenants, they usually retained considerable demesnes that they farmed commercially, and they still held a variety of appointments under the British crown—as lieuten- ants or deputy lieutenants of counties and as justices of the peace. Symbols of an old regime in landownership that was not yet dead, and loyal to the British crown and empire, members of the tradi- tional elite were objects of suspicion and sometimes outright hostil- ity among IRA members and nationalists more generally. For many Southern Unionists or loyalists with Big Houses and some land, life became extremely uncomfortable and often dangerous after 1919. Nowhere was this truer than in County Cork. In his important study The Decline of the Big House in Ireland, Terence Dooley put *I wish to express my gratitude to careful readers of this article in earlier drafts, including Fergus Campbell, L. Perry Curtis, Jr., Ian d’Alton, Tom Dunne, and Cal Hyland. While saving me from errors, they also made valuable suggestions. I must thank Leigh-Ann Coffey for generously allowing me to draw upon her digitized col- lection of documents from the Colonial Office records pertaining to the Irish Grants Committee at the U.K.

St. Abban, who lived to a very advanced age and died in 650, founded a nunnery at this place, which he gave to St. Gobnata, who was descended from O'Connor the Great, Monarch of Ireland. Smith, in his history of Cork, notices the church of this establishment, but it has since fallen into decay. The parish, of which the name signifies "the Town of the Beloved," is chiefly the property of Sir Nicholas C. Colthurst, Bart.; it is situated on the River Sullane, and on the road from Cork to Killarney, and comprises 26,525 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £6073. 15. per annum. The surface is very uneven, in some parts rising into mountains of considerable elevation, the highest of which is Mullaghanish: about one-half is arable and pasture land, with 70 acres of woodland. Much of the land has been brought into a state of cultivation by means of a new line of road from Macroom, which passes through the vale of the Sullane, and is now a considerable thoroughfare; and great facilities of improvement have been afforded by other new lines of road which have been made through the parish; but there are still about 16,000 acres of rough pasture and moorland, which might be drained and brought into a state of profitable cultivation.

  • Múscraí Gaeltacht Conservation, Management and Interpretation Plan
    MÚSCRAÍ GAELTACHT CONSERVATION, MANAGEMENT AND INTERPRETATION PLAN PREPARED: DECEMBER, 2014 CLIENT: CORK COUNTY COUNCIL AND ACADAMH FÓDHLA RESEARCH + DIG Conservation/Heritage/Archaeology 1 Contents page 1.0 Introduction 3 2.0 Historical and archaeological profile 7 3.0 The natural heritage of the Múscraí Gaeltacht 17 4.0 Intangible heritage 26 5.0 Assessment of significance 37 2 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background This Conservation Management and Interpretation Plan was commissioned by Cork County Council in conjunction with Acadamh Fódhla. The main aim of the project is to highlight the importance and heritage significance of the Múscraí Gaeltacht and to devise a number of heritage objectives and actions to ensure that the area is appropriately conserved, managed and maintained into the future. The word ‘Gaeltacht’ is used for areas where the Irish language is, or was until the recent past, the main spoken language. Gaeltacht areas are defined by Government order. One of them is Múscraí. 1.2 Site Identification and Profile Lying along the Cork / Kerry border, the Múscraí Gaeltacht is located 48kms to the west of Cork City (fig 1). Its population of 3,895 (CSO, 2011), represents 4% of the total number of Gaeltacht inhabitants. The Cork Gaeltacht encompasses a geographical area of 262km2. This amounts to 6% of the total Gaeltacht area. The largest settlements are the villages of Baile Mhic Íre/Baile Bhuirne and Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh. Other significant settlements include Cúil Aodha, Réidh na nDoirí, and Cill na Martra. The landscape is dominated by numerous high craggy hills and the Derrynasaggart Mountains.
