  • 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. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

  • Burren Signage Plan
    Burren Signage Plan A report commissioned by Burren Connect, a project funded by Fáilte Ireland, in partnership with Clare County Council, Shannon Development, National Parks & Wildlife Service, National Monuments Service and Burren Beo.. BURREN SIGNAGE PLAN Executive Summary The Burren Signage Plan is a component of the Burren Connect Project, a multi- agency tourism development project for the Burren. Field surveys and a public consultation programme were carried out during May and June of 2007. The signage plan is based on a set of fourteen principles that emerged from consultation, assessments of the Burren landscape and a review of practice elsewhere. The plan recommends that signage in the Burren countryside is kept to a minimum in recognition of the exceptional quality of the landscape. It recommends that primary reliance for navigation is placed on the standard directional road signs, which are in the process of being upgraded on all the national and regional roads in North Clare. The plan considers that there is a place for visitor signage in the Burren, but that signage and visitor information in general should, as far as possible, be concentrated in and near existing villages, at major junctions and at the larger established visitor sites. The plan recommends caution in deploying signage for new recreation initiatives such as looped walks and cycle routes in the remoter areas of the Burren. The Burren does not lend itself to precise geographical definition but a signage plan has to enable drivers and other visitors to be able to answer the question ‘Are we there yet?’ The plan recommends adopting the settlements that ring the area as boundary markers.
