Mayo explores the history of this previously under-researched ecclesiastical site in the west of Ireland. This project has uncovered the complex history of the church, tracking the significant changes to the architecture and use of the established ecclesiastical sites in the town which occurred following the Reformation. While the primary locus has been on a visual exploration of the material environments of St. Mary’s Church and its graveyard, there is also an examination of the social milieu of the vanished Protestant community of Ballinrobe, which centred on the town’s former function as a garrison town. As part of this research, the previous suggestion that St. Mary’s was a 19th century structure has been disproven, and the site is now placed as reflecting the Tudor conquest in the region. In addition to this written thesis, the project includes a digital archive, created with the assistance of the National Museum of Country Life, the development of a website exploring the heritage and history of Ballinrobe and the creation of the Ballinrobe Archaeological and Historical Society. As such, this thesis is part of a broader project using primarily visual means to explore heritage.

  • 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.

The objectives of Work Package 3 are: 1) to obtain a detailed knowledge about the demand for solar hot water systems in the institutional sector as well as about the technical, social and economic barriers, which hamper the installation of the systems, 2) to come up with recommendations which help to overcome the barriers and which will assist the stakeholders to develop a strategy which facilitates the installation of solar water heaters. This report presents the results of the survey to tackle objective (1). The findings from the survey will be useful in tackling objective (2) of the Work Package. The field work for the study and the reporting was carried out in joint collaboration between DTC and Domestic Solar Heating P/L.

    Western Rail Trail Recipient: Shane Ross TD, Peter Hynes, Kevin Kelly, Ciaran Hayes, Paschal Donohoe, Minister Heather Humphries Letter: Greetings, I have just signed the on-line petition to Create a walking and cycling greenway on the closed railway from Sligo to Athenry; this could easily be done and this position would be supported by Irish Rail. Opposition to this plan is based on the myth that the railway will re-open at sometime, it is time for a reality check and to start listening to the thousands that want to see the greenway happen.
