  • Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick by Alan O'driscoll and Brian Hodkinson
    Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick By Alan O'Driscoll and Brian Hodkinson The following was commenced by Alan O’Driscoll (AOD) while on a work placement in Limerick Museum in the autumn of 2012 and continued by Brian Hodkinson. It is a continuation of the Who was who in medieval Limerick, which can also be found on the Limerick Museum website. It straddles the period c 1540 to c 1700, so some figures may appear in both databases. It is compiled for the most part by using the indexes of the various sources using Limerick as the search term. However, it has been noted that these indexes are often not comprehensive, and so when sources are available online, then a scroll through the text highlighting Limerick has produced entries not in the index. Such scrolling has also found entries where place names are abviously Limerick ones but Limerick does not appear as a word, e.g. in Fiants and CPCRCI. So while I (BJH) like to think it is comprehensive, it may not be. Notes. • Where two similar names are believed to be the same person, the entries are combined. However, many repeated names appear in the same lists (particularly in the Civil Survey). Where this occurs and/or the two persons are listed as coming from a different location, they are separated, even if they are recorded at the same time. There are a great many repeated full names, such as William Bourke, and it has proved practically impossible to be sure of which of these are different people.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 1412. Witness Michael Hennessy, Dundrum, Co. Tipperary. Identity. Member of East Limerick Brigade Flying Column. Subject. Activities of Kilfinane Company, Irish Volunteers, l914-1921, and East Limerick Flying Column, 1920-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No S.2740. Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. MICHAEL HENNESSY, Dundrum,Co. Tipperary. I joined the Irish Volunteers when a company of that organisation was formed in my native place of Kilfinane, Co. Limerick, towards the end of the year of l914. I was then about twenty-one years of age. There were about thirty young men in the company, and Sean McCarthy, then resident in Kilfinane, was the company 0/C. Justin McCarthy, Sean's cousin, and Dan McCarthy were the other two officers of the company. We paraded about once or twice a week for training and drill. Foot drill was practised in a field near the town, and occasionally we went on route marches to places like Ballylanders and Glenbrohane. The training was done with wooden guns and, as far as I am aware, the company at that time possessed no effective arms. I should also mention that our company the Kilfinane company as it was then known was attached to the Galtee battalion of which, if my memory serves me right, Willie Manahan, then the creamery manager in Ardpatrick, was 0/C. My recollection of Easter Week 1916 is that the company was mobilised to parade on either Easter Sunday or Easter Monday morning, and each man was instructed to bring sufficient rations to maintain him for a couple of days.

  • GAA Oral History Project on the Understanding That the Content Will Not Be Used in a Derogatory Manner
    REFERENCE NO. (OFFICE USE ONLY): Q1: Describe your earliest GAA memory and how you became involved in the GAA? I don't have a specific first memory as such, but I recall most of my rather large family crowding into the sitting room at home to watch matches on tv from the mid to late 80s on. As the youngest I was usually squashed into the edge of the couch. My first visit to Croke Park was for the 1990 All-Ireland semi-final when Galway beat Offaly by 1-16 to 2-7. Cork beat Antrim by 2-20 to 1-13 in the curtain raiser. That year I joined Tullamore GAA club playing hurling at first and football soon after. It seemed a logical progression as I had always shown a great interest in sport growing up. I dipped in and out of the club over the years, not that my interest or love of the games waned. I had other commitments that my parents sometimes deemed more important and I also lacked confidence as a player. Q2: Did your family have a tradition or history of GAA involvement? Yes, somewhat. My father, I am told, was a talented player in his youth until a knee injury and other commitments cut his career short. My older brothers would have dabbled in the games without any great success. None of them would have had the same obsessional interest in the games as I had or have. In later years, my second cousins, Barry and Ronan Mooney, played football for the county but I wouldn't suggest that the lineage was connected in that regard.

Eamonn Maloney, Mayor of South Dublin; Joan O’Flynn, Úachtarán, Cumann Camógaíochta; Colin Moran and Fr. Jimmy amounts to a total of 60,000 players taking part in gaelic games Murray, O. Carm., PP, St. Colmcille’s Knocklyon playing activity involving the club. And of course don’t forget the 1,500 referees. It is a phenomenal number. Add in all the training sessions and discussions associated with each team and the impact of this voluntary activity is truly enormous. As the country faces into difficult economic times, it is heartening to see such endeavour complemented with characteristics like passion, spirit and hope. These qualities are not in short supply in Ireland and if we can harness them properly we will overcome our problems. The club itself was overcome with joy in 2010 with the marvellous four-in-a-row senior hurling titles – an achievement that places the club among the ranks of great clubs.

  • GAA Club – Overview
    CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.
