  • Gadra Leaflet Jan 19.Cdr
    Griffith Avenue and Districts Residents Association January Newsle er 2019 BUS CONNECTS The NTA have commenced consultation on 4 of the core bus corridors by setting up 'community fora' to which each resident association/group may send only one representative regardless of the size of the association. These fora were set up without any statutory basis and without terms of reference. Following our intervention they have produced a“Terms of Reference”which we .nd unacceptable and have contacted all public representatives to this regard. We are calling on the NTA to hold full consultation and to hold open days in all areas rather than leaving dissemination of critical information to resident associations and groups. Dublin City Council unanimously passed a motion on Jan 7th calling for NTA to engage in full consultation on the core bus corridors and hold open days throughout the city so all residents can be consulted and make informed submissions. We would like to thank Cllr Gary Gannon for proposing this motion and all councillors throughout the city for supporting it. The Lord Mayor will now contact the NTA to inform them of this motion. We attended the Swords CBC forum (Jan 8th) with a watching brief as all the issues that are planned for Santry village will be replicated on Mobhi road. We were very concerned following that meeting and accordingly have written to the Chairperson (letter on our website/Facebook page). The NTA were looking for a one-way system through Santry however, we do not believe this was a serious option on their part and very worryingly a decision was made at the meeting to look at increasing number of CPOs and also increasing the land take from these homes.

  • Leaving Certificate History Case Study
    LEAVING CERTIFICATE HISTORY CASE STUDY Meiler Magrath’s Clerical Career EARLY MODERN IRELAND: TOPIC 2 REBELLION AND CONQUEST IN ELIZABETHAN IRELAND, 1558-1603 A resource for teachers of Leaving Certificate History, developed by the National Library of Ireland in association with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment Written by: Dr Brian Kirby Steering Committee: Dr Ciaran Brady, Mr John Dredge, Dr Noel Kissane, Mr Gerry Lyne Contents Introduction 3 Biographical Notes 6 Glossary 9 List of abbreviations 11 Chronology of Meiler Magrath's life 12 Documents used in case study 14 Documents 16 2 Introduction Meiler Magrath was one of the most prominent and controversial figures of Elizabethan Ireland. He was born into a Gaelic ecclesiastical family in Fermanagh. His kin held the territory of *Termon Magrath which included St. Patrick’s Purgatory on Lough Derg. Meiler became a Franciscan friar and in October 1565 he was appointed bishop of Down and Connor by the Pope. Soon afterwards, however, he was captured by the English, took the oath of supremacy and conformed to Protestantism. Even though the exact circumstances of his conversion remain unknown, it is clear that Queen Elizabeth had enough faith in Magrath to appoint him bishop of Clogher in 1570 and promote him to the archbishopric of Cashel five months later. During his long clerical career he also received appointments to the bishoprics of Waterford and Lismore and Killala and Achonry. However, this brief sketch of Magrath’s life does little justice to a man who became an extremely influential political figure in the latter years of Elizabeth’s reign.
