  • Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways
    Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week.

  • A Walk Around Ireland - County by County
    A walk around Ireland - County by County This article can do little justice to the beauty and splendor that is Ireland. As we ramble around the country we will briefly mention the places that are of little acclaim - but should not be missed, to the more widely recognized locations you will find in any travel guide. These are the spots this writer has visited and will visit again, but in no way meant to suggest as the best or worst places spend a while. Ireland consists of four provinces: Leinster , Munster, Connacht and Ulster. This is Leinster - Cúige Laighean. Dublin City Co. Dublin, the largest city in Ireland, founded by the Vikings over 1,500 years ago. Being the political and commercial capital of Ireland, you will find the Presidential Residence in the Phoenix Park - the largest city park in Europe, over 1750 acres, within the city limits. Here also are many of the offices for governmental affairs, Trinity College – with the Book of Kells and Brian Boro’s harp, the General Post Office – G.P.O., a key site from the 1916 rising and and a host of museums, theaters and home to Ireland’s most famous export Guinness – at St. James Gate, where you will be able to sample the freshest pint of Guinness on the planet. Pub life is one of Ireland’s attractions and you will find an endless selection of locations to visit – but perhaps start at the “Brazenhead” one of Ireland’s oldest, licensed in 1666 but said to date from the 1300’s.

  • Ancient Funeral Route to Clonmacnoise Retraced by Drum Heritage Group
    Ancient Funeral Route to Clonmacnoise Retraced by Drum Heritage Group Following the completion of the restoration work on the monastic site and St. Brigid's Holy Well at Drum, the members of the Drum Heritage Grcup took on board a further project in 1992, when they set out to trace and record the ancient pathways, which people used to get to their Sunday Mass in the days that are gone. The results of their efforts are on show in a 200 s.ft. display case housed in the nearby Drum Parish Hall. In addition to surveying the Mass paths, the members also undertook the tracing of a locally known "Pilgrim Road" or funeral route, which passed through Drum, leading to the ancient ecclesiastical city of Clonmacnoise. It is a recorded fact that in early Christian times, many noble families carried the mortal remains of their loved ones for burial within the hallowed ground at Clonmacnoise. Oral tradition handed down from generation to generation states that, on arrival at Ardkeenan hill (the hill of the cry) in the parish of Drum, the coffin bearers came to rest, on getting their first sighting of St. Ciaran's holy city, whereupon the local keening (crying) women gathered to lament the passing of the deceased. Sadly, the actual hilltop was removed in the early years of the present century, when an extensive gravel pit was opened on the site. During the survey, the group members were fortunate to collect a valuable piece of local history from ~he late Mr. Brian Devine, a senior resident, who pointed to the location of a timber causeway, which he found during drainage operations some years go on the lowlands beneath Ardkeenan hill.

The following essays, written at different times and in different circumstances during the last fifteen years, touch upon some of the most interesting points in the civil and religious history of Ireland. They have already appeared separately as booklets of the Catholic Truth Society, and as such have, the author is informed, been eagerly read by thousands throughout the country. With much pleasure, therefore, has he acceded to the wish of the Society, to have them collected and published in book form, and made more attractive by the addition of many appropriate illustrations. It is his earnest hope that the little volume may, in some small way at least, help the main purpose of the Society—the diffusion of sound Catholic information, which, for the masses of our people, will have a living interest as well.
