Vice O/C. 5th Battalion Mid-Glare Brigade. Subject. Fifth Battalion Mid-Clan Brigade Irish vol's. 1914-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No. S.2368 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY THOMAS SHALLOO, Parliament St., Ennistymon, Co. Glare, formerly Vice O/C 5th Battalion, Mid dare Brigade. I was born on 12.1.1895 at Caherclough, Ennistymon, where my people were farmers. At present I carry on business as a publican and as a commercial traveller, having a number of agencies for the counties. of Glare and Galway. I joined the Irish Volunteers on their formation in Ennistymon early in 1914. My recollection now is that the unit was, under the control of a committee, and that it contained about 150 men from the town and the surrounding districts. Drilling, which took place in the Town Hall, was under the control of three. instructors, Andy O'Brien, Christy Doyle and Ambrose Kelligher, all ex British Army men. We drilled twice a week, timber guns being used for musketry instruction at first, and after some months the unit got a dozen Martini Henry rifles through some source of which Phi not aware. The instructors were very competent men and by the summer of 1914. they had moulded the Ennistymon unit into a smart military body well versed in squad, company and musketry drill. Though the Town Hall was.! then the headquarters of the unit, we did most of our training in field outside the town and also got some practice in skirmishing and manoeuvres on the surrounding countryside.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO.W.S. 1,371 Witness John McCormack, Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick. Identity. Commandant Second Battalion, East Clare Brigade. Subject Irish Volunteer activities, Clonlara, East Clare, 1915-1921. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No S.2686 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT OF JOHN McCORMACK Castleconnell P.O., Co. Limerick formerly Commandant, 2nd Battalion and Captain of Clonlara (A) Company, 2nd Battalion, East Clare Brigade. I was born on 23rd September 1898, at Cappavilla House, Clonlara, Co. Clare, where my father was an extensive farmer. I believe it was while I was attending the Christian Brothers Schools in Limerick city that I joined the Fianna Boy Scouts. About the commencement of 1917, I became a member of the Irish Volunteers when a company was established his in Clonlara by Michael Brennan immediately after release from jail in England. I was the first captain of that company. Though I served right through the Anglo-Irish struggle up to the Truce in July 1921, as a company and battalion officer and as a member of the East Clare flying column, and participated in all the major engagements of that brigade, I do not feel fit enough to attempt an account of my experiences in the fight for independence. There was one encounter, however, in which I happened to be in charge of the I.R.A. forces about which my memory is quite clear and I am prepared to record all that I know about it.

  • Ennis Cathedral

    Ennis Cathedral

    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

How to put others first, We'll be forever with Him How to love and how to give. In heaven, where life is best. Then He set about His work, So we live our lives for Jesus, That God sent Him to do; Think of Him in all we do.
