The commemorations in Mayo included a major rising exhibition in the Jackie Clarke Museum, Major John MacBride exhibition in Westport, Parade in Castlebar, Kathleen Lynn graphic novel and a range of local community events. Mayo County Council launched the Destination Mayo Tourism Strategy 2016-2020 in the early part of the year to continue to build on the reputation of Mayo. The ongoing success of eleven Mayo beaches in securing Blue Flags and six Green Coast Awards is testament to work and commitment of staff and the wider community in delivering on quality for Mayo. Housing continues to be a core commitment of Mayo County Council and the Municipal Districts and the commitment to deliver 249 units from 2015-17 is on track to be delivered. The reduction in the housing voids list from 176 to 54 is an example of meeting this commitment. The ongoing work on the Ballinrobe Public Realm Plan, the Ballina Town Centre Health Check, the hosting of MeetWest in Claremorris and the significant progress on the Swimming Pool and Leisure Centre at Lough Lannagh, Castlebar are examples of Mayo County Council’s ongoing pursuit of regional balance within the County. The launch of the Mayo Local Community Economic Plan and 18-month Action Plan is a further commitment to working with our national, regional and local partners to promote Mayo as a county for investment. Corporately Mayo County Council continues to grow, new staff and new areas of work are part of ensuring that the local authority continues to be a ‘the Most Innovative Local Authority’ in the Country, the LAMA award which we won in 2016. The new IS strategy 2016-2020 and the upgrade to Microsoft 365 are examples of this process and innovation. 4 Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work and commitment of the staff and councillors of Mayo County Council during the last year, and the ongoing cooperation of the community at large in continuing to ensure that Mayo County Council can deliver on our vision of “a place in which to live, work, visit, invest in and enjoy". Peter Hynes Al McDonnell Príomh Fheidhmeannach Cathaoirleach 5 MISSION STATEMENT "Promote the well-being and quality of life of our citizens and communities in Mayo and to enhance the attractiveness of the County as a place in which to live, work, visit, invest in and enjoy". VISION "A County that is Sustainable, Inclusive, Prosperous and Proud". 6 CORPORATE PLAN Mayo County Council is at the heart of local community, and is a key provider of economic and social development in Mayo. As the democratic leader of the County, we represent the people while delivering vital local services which are central to the quality of life of everybody who lives in, works in and visits Mayo. As the leading public sector body in Mayo, Mayo County Council also support and facilitate others in the County and nationally who are responsible for key public services. When we deliver our responsibilities, others can deliver their obligations as well. The Council is central to making Mayo, Sustainable, Inclusive, Prosperous and Proud. This Plan is a key part of our delivering on our commitment to Mayo. In it we set out our mission as the democratic body representing the people of Mayo, what we want to deliver for the people over the next five years, and how we are going to meet our commitments to our communities. This Plan also sets out what we will work to achieve and how we will measure our efforts so that the people of Mayo will see that we deliver effectively on our commitments to them. Mayo County Council is community centred and people focused. We represent the people through our councillors while our staff is part of the Mayo Community so we want to make sure

Opposition to this plan is based on the myth that the railway will re-open at sometime, it is time for a reality check and to start listening to the thousands that want to see the greenway happen.

  • Ireland Under the Normans Goddard Henry Orpen
    The Sub-Infeudation Of Connaught 1237 And Afterwards Ireland Under The Normans 1169-1216 By Goddard Henry Orpen LATE SCHOLAR OF TRINITY COLLEGE,DUBLIN EDITOR OF 'THE SONG OF DERMOT AND THE EARL ' MEMBER OF THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY 1911 Richard de Burgh had now a free hand in Connaught, and though sundry attempts at occupation had been made at various times since the beginning of the century, the effective settlement of Anglo- Normans in the province may be said to have commenced in 1237. In that year, says the Irish annalist, ‘ the barons of Erin came and commenced to build castles in it’. In the following year ‘ castles were erected in Muinter Murchada (the northern half of the barony of Clare, County Galway), Conmaicne Cuile (the barony of Kilmaine, south of the river Robe, County Mayo), and in Cera (the barony of Carra, County Mayo) by the aforesaid barons’. [1] Save for personal quarrels among the O’Conors themselves the peace was unbroken. Unfortunately there is no contemporary summary of Richard de Burgh’s enfeoffments, such as the Song of Dermot gives of those of Strongbow and the elder Hugh de Lacy, and though there trans- cripts in the ‘ Red Book of the Earl of Kildare’ and in the ‘ Gormanston Register’ of several charters of this period, we are largely dependent on indications in the annals, and on inferences from later documents and records for our knowledge of the Anglo-Norman settlement in Connaught. Indeed the first comprehensive account is to be gleaned from the Inquisitions taken in 1333 [2] after the murder of William de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, fifteen years after the great disruption caused by the Scottish invasion under Edward Bruce, and at a time when the royal power in Ireland had begun to wax faint.

  • The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850
    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity. THE POTATO CROP THE POTATO CROP PERSECUTION Mayo Constitution (11-11-1845) TO THE EDITOR OF AND STARVATION The Telegraph (19-8-1846) In some cases the damage is found, on THE CONSTITUTION Rathbane, 29th December, 1845 digging out the potatoes, to be only On Monday last upwards of 500 poor, partial, in other cases the injury and loss wretched, emaciated human beings are, very great.

    NEWSLETTER 2018 Hi Everybody, Welcome to the 2018 Western Care Newsletter. Once more the year gone by was a very busy and challenging year for us. I want to take the opportunity through this newsletter to express my appreciation and deep gratitude to everyone who has helped to take the organisation through the last year. In particular I want to say a special word of thanks to all of the sta who serve in a wide range of areas throughout the county. Your commitment and dedication to those with disability is not going unnoticed and is greatly appreciated by myself and my fellow colleagues on the Board of Directors. I want to say a special word of thanks to all the people who volunteer for this organisation in so many di erent ways. Those who come to help out in our day centres, all those who help with our door to door collection and all those who are involved in fundraising. Fundraising that has become so important in helping to provide services and improve facilities throughout Western Care. I also want to thank all of the service users for their help and support and particularly for the warmth of their welcome every time we are fortunate enough to meet up. As I pointed out in last year's newsletter, Western Care is a company limited by guarantee and so it must have company members. To this end I would encourage all those who are interested in any way in the work of Western Care to apply for membership. In doing so you will have a say in electing those who will represent the organisation at regional and board level.

    Archival list The New Collection Catalogue Irish College Rome PART THREE Kirby Series (1872‐1895 and undated) Appendices Bibliography ARCHIVES PONTIFICAL IRISH COLLEGE, ROME Code / Level Title / Date / Description Lang. / Extent KIR/NC/1/1871/54 Holograph letter from Cardinal Cullen to Dr. Kirby Item 21 December 1871 Eng. 4pp Cullen has received word of Dr. Moran's appointment- he has now lost the very faithful and useful Dr. Murray, Dr. Conroy and Dr. Moran. He has sent the form of suspension that was sent to Fr O'Keeffe. He describes O'Keeffe's refusal to accept the letter containing the suspension, the announcement of the suspension in a church in Callan and the attorney's letter threatening proceedings for defamation. O'Keeffe has continued to act as if not suspended and deludes the poor people by stating that he is appealing to the Pope. He has also published a letter of the late Dr. O'Hanlon in his favour. Cullen has interdicted his church but does not know what effect this will have as he has the support of half of Callan and others from Cashel and Waterford. Perhaps he wishes to serve his writ on Christmas Eve as he did to Dr. Walshe. The education meeting will be held on the 16th of January. Small pox and typhoid fever are prevalent in the city. Mr Walsh, the bank manager in Nenagh and a relative to Dr. Moran, was mortally wounded by a robber- rascals who return from America are often the perpetrators of these crimes. He reminds Fr Maher to find the address as the Ladies' of Ireland will rebel against him.
