Reflection Unexpected moments It was an important day for this little family, when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem. Did they expect everything to go smoothly, or had they already had to let go of some of their dreams and plans? After all, the story of Jesus’ birth had already been unusual, not to mention the shepherds turning up to visit the newborn Messiah. Still, they could not have expected two elderly people to suddenly appear in the Temple with a message about their child – that he was going to do great things but also would be rejected and cause great pain to his mother.

  • Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Access To
    Killybegs Harbour Centre & South West Donegal, Ireland Area Information Killybegs is situated on the North West Coast of Ireland with the newest harbour facility in the country which opened in 2004. The area around the deep fjord-like inlet of Killybegs has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The town was named in early Christian times, the Gaelic name Na Cealla Beaga referring to a group of monastic cells. Interestingly, and perhaps surprisingly in a region not short of native saints, the town’s patron saint is St. Catherine of Alexandria. St. Catherine is the patron of seafarers and the association with Killybegs is thought to be from the 15th Century which confirms that Killybeg’s tradition of seafaring is very old indeed. The area is rich in cultural & historical history having a long association with marine history dating back to the Spanish Armada. Donegal is renowned for the friendliness & hospitality of its people and that renowned ‘Donegal Welcome’ awaits cruise passengers & crew to the area from where a pleasant travel distance through amazing sea & mountain scenery of traditional picturesque villages with thatched cottages takes you to visit spectacular castles and national parks. Enjoy the slow pace of life for a day while having all the modern facilities of city life. Access to the area Air access Regular flights are available from UK airports and many European destinations to Donegal Airport which is approx an hour’s drive from Killybegs City of Derry Airport approx 1 hour 20 mins drive from Kilybegs International flights available to and from Knock International Airport 2 hours and 20 minutes drive with public transport connections.

  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

  • World War I in 1916
    MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 In a front line trench, France, World War I (Library of Congress, Washington) World War I in 1916 When war was declared on 4 August 1914, there were already over 25,000 Irishmen serving in the regular British Army with another 30,000 Irishmen in the reserve. As most of the great European powers were drawn into the War, it spread to European colonies all over the world. Donegal men found that they were fighting not only in Europe but also in Egypt and Mesopotamia as well as in Africa and on ships in the North Sea and in the Mediterranean. 1916 was the worst year of the war, with more soldiers killed this year than in any other year. By the end of 1916, stalemate on land had truly set in with both sides firmly entrenched. By now, the belief that the war would be ‘over by Christmas’ was long gone. Hope of a swift end to the war was replaced by knowledge of the true extent of the sacrifice that would have to be paid in terms of loss of life. Recruitment and Enlisting Recruitment meetings were held all over the County. In 1916, the Department of Recruiting in Ireland wrote to Bishop O’Donnell, in Donegal, requesting: “. that recruiting meetings might with advantage be held outside the Churches . after Mass on Sundays and Holidays.” 21 MAJOR EVENTS AFFECTING THE COUNTY IN 1916 Men from all communities and from all corners of County Donegal enlisted. They enlisted in the three new Army Divisions: the 10th (Irish), 16th (Irish) and the 36th (Ulster), which were established after the War began.
