I was born in Drumraney and was educated at the local school there. There was nothing taught in school then that would serve as a foundation or build-up in young boys any deep sense of patriotism. father had been in Australia and there he had come in contact with many of the men who had been deported or had to leave Ireland because they loved it too well, according to English standards When we were children, he regularly discussed Irish History with us and enlightened us on the many crimes and wrongs perpetrated on our country by the English invader, and he often sang traditional folk songs for us. Thus we grew up in an atmosphere in which there was a love for everything Irish and with a great desire to see the country independent and in commandof her own destiny. I think my father was a Fenian. I had read and studied books such as "The Jail Journal" and "The last Conquest". In 1907 I became a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Peter Malinn was organising the I.R.B. in County Westmeath at this time and later on w brother John continued to push the.

  • Athlone Town Walls and Defences Conservation Plan
    Athlone Town Council ATHLONE TOWN COUNCIL ATHLONE TOWN WALLS AND DEFENCES CONSERVATION PLAN OXFORD ARCHAEOLOGY NOVEMBER 2005 Athlone Town Council Athlone Town Council FOREWORD Athlone, Co. Westmeath is one of the primary locations in the history of Ireland and possesses standing remains of the defences that enabled it to survive to the present day. It straddles the River Shannon and was an important crossing point and gateway on the waterways of the centre of the country. For this reason, it was a critical strategic location and played a role in every important invasion of Ireland. A bridge was built and a castle to guard the bridge, in medieval times. Subsequently, stone walls were constructed round the east side of the town, sealing it to the bank of the river. In the 17th century earthen ramparts were constructed around the west side of the town, and bastions were added to the walls of the east town. Further defences in the form of batteries were added to the west town in the early 19th century. However during the 19th and 20th centuries, the walls and defences have gradually been pulled down and removed, through the growth of the town. Only small sections remain, together with indicators of the positions of the walls. It is imperative to preserve these to ensure the survival of the physical elements of the history of Athlone. A conservation plan has been prepared to create policies for the conservation of the walls and defences and to put forward strategies to raise the image and public awareness of these important monuments.
