Hidden gems and Forgotten People BALLINCOLLIG HERITAGE ASSOCIATION THE DOVE-COTE, BALLYBEG PRIORY, CO CORK Ballybeg Priory is a 13th century priory situated near the town of Buttevant, County Cork, which lies between Cork and Limerick on the N20. It was founded by Philip de Barry in 1229 as an Augustinian order and named after the martyred archbishop of Canterbury, St. Thomas à Becket. Ballybeg was an extensive foundation, the priory church measuring some 166 feet (51 m) in length and 26 feet (7.9 m) in width. The priory is now in ruins but located away from the main ecclesiastical buildings, standing intact in the middle of a field is the most noteworthy remaining structure on the site, a round tower dovecote. It is a truly remarkable structure. Inside, the walls are built in square compartments in regular tiers to a height of fifteen feet. There are some 352 niches, divided into eleven tiers each containing 32 compartments. It opens to the sky. The dovecote was important as a source of revenue for the priory as its main agricultural purpose was the production of fertiliser. Pigeon fertiliser was essential for herb gardens and economically more highly valued than equivalents produced by cattle, sheep or pigs. It was also essential for the successful growing of hemp, which was widely used for cloth, rope and sack making. A string course around the circumference of the building served not only as a structural strengthening of the building but also to prevent weasels, or other vermin from scaling the walls to the entrances. Since pigeons could also be regarded as vermin as they could cause damage to grain crops, dovecotes were strictly controlled by medieval law. While tenants and others were permitted to keep a few pairs of doves in their roof-attics, a dovecote, such as that at Ballybeg, was the exclusive prerogative of a landowner..

W.S. 1.133 STATEMENTBY MISS ANNIE BARRETT, Killavullen, County Cork. I was born at Killavullen, County Cork, on 24th September, 1888. My father was a Fenian. He escorted O'Neill Crowley from his hiding place in Glenagare to Kilclooney Wood in 1867. I was educated at Killavullen National School where I attended until I was about 16 years of age. I then went to the Munster Civil Service College where I remained for about 11/2years. I entered the Post Office Service as a telephonist at Killarney in 1906.. After about six months I was transferred to Mallow. Early in 1919 I was appointed Supervising Telephonist at Mallow and I continued to serve in this capacity until I was superannuated in 1945. In the years prior to and following 1916 I took a keen interest in the national cultural organisations in the district. I was a member of the Gaelic League and was Captain of the Thomas Davis Camogie Club in 1914. My first contact with the Irish Volunteer Organisation was made through my brother who was a wireless operator. This was early in 1918 when he put me in touch with Tom Hunter and Danny Shinnick who were the Volunteer leaders in the Castletownroche-Killavullen area at the time.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.

Report by Commission of Investigation Into Catholic Diocese of Cloyne
Chapter 1 Overview Introduction 1.1 The Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation was established in March 2006 to report on the handling by Church and State authorities of a representative sample of allegations and suspicions of child sexual abuse against clerics operating under the aegis of the Archdiocese of Dublin over the period 1975 - 2004. The report of the Commission was published (with some redaction as a result of court orders) in November 2009. Towards the end of its remit, on 31 March 2009, the Government asked the Commission to carry out a similar investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Cloyne. 1.2 During the Cloyne investigation the Commission examined all complaints, allegations, concerns and suspicions of child sexual abuse by relevant clerics made to the diocesan and other Catholic Church authorities and public and State authorities in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. 1.3 This report deals with the outcome of the Cloyne investigation. In Chapters 2 – 8, the report outlines how the Commission conducted the investigation; the organisational structures of the Diocese of Cloyne and the relevant State authorities, that is, the Gardaí, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the health authorities; and the general background to the handling of complaints including an outline of the canon law and procedures involved and the financing of the costs involved. 1.4 Chapters 9 – 26 describe the cases of 19 clerics about whom there were complaints, allegations or concerns in the period 1 January 1996 – 1 February 2009. Below the Commission gives an overview of what these cases show.

TITLE INDEX The title index alphabetically lists the exact titles as given on the maps cataloged in Parts One and Two. Therefore, “A New Map of Ireland...” and “The New Map of Ireland...” are located in the title index under “A” and “T” respectively; a sixteenth-century map of “Vltonia” or “Vdrone” is found under “V”; and foreign titles such as “L’Irlanda” and “De Custen...” appear alphabetically under “L” and “D”. The title “Ireland,” as a single word, is found on over 220 maps in Parts One and Two. In the title index, therefore, “Ireland” has been further identified by both the name of the author in alphabetical order and publication date.

Nil File No. S.2355 FormB.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY TIMOTHY D. CRIMMINS, Kilbolane, Milford, Charleville, Co. Cork. I was born in New York City in the year 1896. My father was head foreman for the contracting firm of Thomas E. Crimmins. When he retired he came back to Ireland to live. My father (like most of the people of the district - Kilbolane, Milford) was a supporter of John E. Redmond. He was also a member of the A.O.H. My first connection with any national organisation was with the Irish Volunteers, which I joined in Milford in 1916. The Volunteers were formed by Jim Brislane, Seán O'Dea and Larry Hedivan. Also in the unit were Jerry Falvey, John Manahan, Denis Noonan, Jim Coughlan and Patrick Fitzgibbon. The strength of the unit was about 14 at this time. Foot drill and parades were held in the fields about two nights each week, and occasionally on Sundays the unit would go on a route march to neighbouring units. Drill instruction was carried out by John Drew - an ex British soldier. He was only with us for a few weeks when Jerry Falvey was elected to take charge. He was the only officer at this time.
