Seán Mac Diarmada Seán Mac Diarmada 2014 Kiltyclogher, Co. Leitrim presents ‘Reflections on Commemorating the Easter Rising’ Friday 20th – Sat 21st June 2014 Conference Co-ordinator: Proinnsíos Ó Duigneáin Seán Mac Diarmada was born on February 28, 1883 near Kiltyclogher, County Leitrim. He emigrated to Glasgow at the age of fifteen years. Returning to Belfast he was sworn into the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) in 1908. He transferred to Dublin where he became a close personal friend of Tom Clarke. Together they later went on to form the military committee which would plan The Easter Rising which took place in 1916. In 1910 he became manager of the radical newspaper Irish Freedom and as the national organizer for both the IRB and Sinn Féin he travelled extensively throughout the country. By November 1913 Mac Diarmada, who was one of the original members of the Irish Volunteers, continued to work to bring that organization under IRB control. In May 1915 he was arrested in Tuam, County Galway under the Defence of the Realm Act for giving a speech against enlisting into the British Army. He was released four months later. Mac Diarmada fought i n the General Post Office during the 1916 Rising and was one of the seven signatories of the Irish Proclamation, the document issued by the IRB on April 24th, 1916 which proclaimed Irish independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Along with the other six signatories to this declaration, Mac Diarmada was executed in Kilmainham Jail, just three week later, on May 12th 1916. Seán MacDermott Street in Dublin is named in his honour, as is the railway station in Sligo. The GAA park in Carrick on Shannon, Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, is also named after him. Sean MacDiarmada Summer School Committee: Chairperson: Pat Fox Secretary: Catherine Fox Treasurer: John Keaney Reflections on Commemorating the Easter Rising’. An Oireachtas Committee under the chairmanship of Dr Maurice Manning was set up in 2012 to assist the Government ‘in the development of a comprehensive and inclusive programme’ for the commemoration of the Easter Rising. Dr. Manning stated that his committee would seek to ensure authenticity, proportionality and openness and that it would ‘encourage original research at local and national level, at all times acknowledging the multiple identities and traditions which are part of the historic story of the island of Ireland and Irish people all over the world’. The 2014 Seán MacDiarmada Summer School affords an opportunity to political analysts and commentators, women’s rights activists, arts practitioners, community volunteers and politicians of all persuasions to debate what form the 2016 commemoration should take in an Ireland which has witnessed the Good Friday Agreement, the coming of the British queen to Dublin and the first official visit of an Irish president to Britain. We look forward to discussions on the Proclamation of 1916, on the political thinking of Connolly and Pearse and on commemorating also the thousands of Irishmen who lost their lives in the First World War. Who would agree/disagree with political analyst Anthony Coughlan’s statement that ‘the 1916 Rising and the Proclamation are the title deeds of this state’? Friday 20th June Registration for the Summer School will take place from 4.00 pm to 5.30 at the Kiltyclogher Community Centre. The opening ceremony of the 5th Seán Mac Diarmada Summer School will take place at 6.00pm at the Seán MacDiarmada homestead. The Opening ceremony will be officiated by Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Mr Jimmy Deenihan. The three roomed thatched cottage overlooking Lough McNean remains much as it did 130 years ago. The vernacular buildings, traditional furniture and cooking utensils bear witness to the simple lifestyle of a self-supporting people. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the home prior to the opening ceremony. Following the opening ceremony light refreshments will be served in the Community Centre in Kiltyclogher. On Friday evening, parking is limited at the grounds of the homestead, we encourage people to park in Kiltyclogher and avail of our free shuttle service. Shuttle buses to the opening ceremony will depart Kiltyclogher Community Centre from 16:00hrs and return after the event.

As a little girl I used to go to the meetings of Tim Healy, John Dillon and William O'Brien, and stand at the outside of the crowds listening to the speakers. The substance of the speeches was "Pay no Rent". It people paid rent, organizations such as the "Molly Maguire's" and the "Moonlighters" used to punish them by 'carding them', that means undressing them and drawing a thorny bush over their bodies. I also remember a man, who had a bit of his ear cut off for paying his rent. He came to our house. idea was to terrorise them. Those were timid people who were afraid of being turned out of their holdings if they did not pay. I witnessed some evictions. As I came home from school I saw a family sitting in the rain round a small fire on the side of the road after being turned out their house and the door was locked behind them.

[email protected] 00353 +873207619 Image: the River Drowes 2 Image: The Drowes River Executive summary The purpose behind this comprehensive Study is to ascertain the potential of the story of the Wild Atlantic Salmon to act as a platform to economically and socially sustain the communities of the greater Lough Melvin region through responsible tourism. The lake and its broader catchment have an ancient relationship with the most iconic of Irish fish; a relationship that of late has seen considerable strain on salmon stocks, challenges to the environment and a dwindling importance in relation to local employment and wealth creation. We now find ourselves at a historical tipping point; posing the question of how best to craft an original rural tourism response that will counteract these threats all in the context of an economically disadvantaged cross border Lakeland region with the growing shadow of Brexit. This Study took six months to research, audit and draft. Over sixty individuals participated in the extensive consultation process. Inputs, many of them ongoing throughout, came from the communities, private sector and tourism trade, recreational users, special interest groups, local authorities, government agencies and NGO's.

    FREE CON COLBERT: 16LIVES PDF John O'Callaghan | 256 pages | 31 Jan 2016 | O'Brien Press Ltd | 9781847173348 | English | Dublin, Ireland New Books - New Book Review - New Book Reviews - New Books Reviews Paul Barrett is a Con Colbert: 16lives fourth-year student at the University of Limerick, Ireland, majoring in English and History. The youngest person executed as part of the Rising, Con Colbert cuts a unique figure in the history of the Irish nation. Limerick Leader. Con Colbert: 16lives main argument that will encompass this article is that Con Colbert was executed in the rising, because of his high profile rather than Colbert deliberately taking the position of his commanding officer Seamus Murphy. A historiographical section concerning contemporary ideas surrounding this question will also be delved into. The proceedings of the court-martial are crucial here in delving into the mind of the British authorities to try to see their reasoning behind the execution. Much of the research done on this topic previously, is considerably uniform in their opinion of Colbert's execution. However, not much research has been done on the activities by Colbert that would have made him well known to the British authorities at the time. Firstly, much has been deliberated regarding Con Colbert, as well as the executions in The literature has discussed the fact that Colbert along with ten others, were not officially acknowledged until the start of this century. This was covered in an article in the Sunday Times inas the author indicates that this shows the disdain the British authorities had for these men.
