    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO.W.S. 1,371 Witness John McCormack, Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick. Identity. Commandant Second Battalion, East Clare Brigade. Subject Irish Volunteer activities, Clonlara, East Clare, 1915-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2686 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JOHN McCORMACK Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick formerly Commandant, 2nd Battalion and Captain of Clonlara (A) Company, 2nd Battalion, East Clare Brigade. I was born on 23rd September 1898, at Cappavilla House, Clonlara, Co. Clare, where my father was an extensive farmer. I believe it was while I was attending the Christian Brothers Schools in Limerick city that I joined the Fianna Boy Scouts. About the commencement of 1917, I became a member of the Irish Volunteers when a company was established his in Clonlara by Michael Brennan immediately after release from jail in England. I was the first captain of that company. Though I served right through the Anglo-Irish struggle up to the Truce in July 1921, as a company and battalion officer and as a member of the East Clare flying column, and participated in all the major engagements of that brigade, I do not feel fit enough to attempt an account of my experiences in the fight for independence. There was one encounter, however, in which I happened to be in charge of the I.R.A. forces about which my memory is quite clear and I am prepared to record all that I know about it.

  • 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.

  • WW2 /Emergency Stories from Clare Clare In
    Clare in WW2 - The Emergency - WW2 /Emergency Stories from Clare Stories from Clare D Day 1944 - The 2nd US Rangers By Ger Browne The aim of this project is to find out how many men and women from Clare took part in WW2, and the effect of the war on Clare. It is hoped that an extension will be added to the Great War Memorial in Ennis that will include the names of the Clare War Dead from WW2 / The Emergency. At the moment we know that 86 died from Clare as well as in Clare. I would like to thank Keir McNamara, and his late father Peadar McNamara for all their research on WW1 and WW2. Eric Shaw, who has been providing me with amazing WW1 and WW2 information for years, and all the following who have helped make this project possible. Paddy Waldron, The Local Studies Centre, Peter Beirne, Brian Doyle, Guss O’Halloran, Sean Glennon, Jim Molohan, Joe Ó Muircheartaigh, Eddie Lough, Local Parish Booklets, The Clare Champion and The Clare People. I have also named the sources, with many of the names below. I thank them all. The following websites: findagrave website, ancestry.com, fold3.com, http://www.ww2irishaviation.com, and the Commonwealth War Grave Commission. Finally thanks to the Clare Library for publishing all the information, and Larry and James Brennan along with the Clare Roots Society, for all their help. 1 Contents Clare during WW2 / The Emergency Page 3 The LDF in Clare Page 4 Supplies, Rationong and Poverty in Clare Page 6 Plane crashes and landings in Clare during WW2 Page 9 The stealing of a plane from Rineanna Aerodrome Page 26 Ships Mined and Torpedoed off the Clare Coast Page 28 Clare Key to WW2 German Invasion Plans - ‘Operation Green’ Page 29 EIRE Signs of WW II – Loophead Page 30 The Great War Memorial in Ennis The new Clare Great War Memorial in Ennis.

  • Ennis Cathedral
    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others.
