  • Exploring the Musical Traditions of Co. Leitrim & Co. Fermanagh
    Exploring the Musical Traditions of County Leitrim & County Fermanagh In May 2020 Irish Arts Foundation launched a pioneering research programme. It centred on specific regional playing styles and influences within Irish traditional music originating from rural communities around the border counties of: Leitrim in the Republic of Ireland and Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. Themes 1. Regional identity. 2. Local musical traditions in Co. Leitrim and Fermanagh. 3. The families and individuals who kept the music alive, and their legacy today. Regional Identity In the time of the horse and cart - the ‘candle to bed’ age - each village, town and county had its own tunes and dances; a musical accent and dialect. This was due to relative rural isolation. So despite the close proximity of Co. Leitrim and Fermanagh, distinct regional identities - musical, religious and political – formed. When talking about regional identity and style there will always be generalisations; tunes do not carry passports and music has never been constrained by borders. Despite this, we will look at what can be widely termed, a Leitrim and a Fermanagh musical tradition. County Leitrim Leitrim is in the province of Connacht and part of the Border Region. Its largest town is Carrick-on-Shannon with a population of 3,134. Although one of Ireland’s smallest counties, Leitrim has a distinct musical tradition of flute and fiddle music. We will look at some of the individuals and groups who have shaped the Leitrim style of traditional music. Leitrim Flute Music “Co. Leitrim has preserved a distinct musical identity and tradition based largely on the flute.

  • Contextual and Historical the Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, Meaning "Mouth of the Tairbert’’
    Belturbet Public Art Commission: Contextual and Historical The Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, meaning "mouth of the Tairbert’’. It is located on the River Erne, which is linked to the Shannon-Erne Waterway and the River Shannon The Shannon is the longest river in Ireland. The Erne is also connected to the Black Pig’s Dyke. The Erne has long been the main source of commerce for the town. It once contained three ports and was linked to Belfast via the Ulster Canal. It contains many exesting features and connections that are historic record. Today the river and the town of Belturbet is predominantly a tourist destination. The original steering wheel off the Steamship Belturbet is displayed in the main reception area in the Belturbet Railway Centre as a memento to the steamships that sailed the Erne in the 1800s’. The wheel also commerates the connection with the railways. The various vessels carried goods and passengers on a regular service between Belturbet and Enniskillen. On occasions excursions were operated in conjunction with the G.N.R. Railway. Special excursion trains operated from Amian St. Station in Dublin to Belturbet where passengers boarded the steamship at the Quay, downstream of Killconny Bridge. The rope wear marks can still be seen on the bollards. When the Anglo-Normans tried to conquer Cavan in the early 13th century, Walter de Lacy built a motte-and-bailey on Turbet Island, which is situated upstream of Killconny Bridge. The Fort was probably made of wood and it has not survived. However the steep mound of earth where it was built is well preserved.

  • River Erne Hydro-Electric Stations COUNTY DONEGAL River Erne Hydro-Electric Development
    River Erne Hydro-Electric Stations COUNTY DONEGAL River Erne Hydro-Electric Development Work on development of the River Erne began in 1946. Two power-producing stations were built on the stretch of river between Belleek and the sea at Ballyshannon. The upper station at Cliff has two turbo-alternator sets, each having an output of 10,000 kW, under a head of 10 metres of water. The sets went into service in August 1950, and February 1955, respectively. A 300 kW generator supplies power for auxiliaries and local needs. The lower power station at Cathaleen's Fall has two turbo-alternator sets, each having an output of 22,500 kW, under a head of 29 metres of water. These sets were commissioned in November 1951 and April 1952, respectively. A 400 kW generator supplies power for auxiliaries. The sets generate at 10,500 volts. Each set is connected to its own step-up transformer (10kV/110kV) in an outdoor compound at the Cathaleen's Fall station. Through these, the electricity produced is fed into the main 110,000 volt transmission system. A feature of the Erne Stations is the large stepped fish passes. These enable salmon and other fish to by-pass the station and climb up-river to their natural spawning grounds. A salmon hatchery is available for operation at Cliff Station, where approximately one million salmon ova can be producedyearly. Smolts have also been success­ fully reared in Cliff and released in the Erne River.
