Researching the Placenames of Co. Clare: Methodology, Sources, Restoration
Researching the placenames of Co. Clare: methodology, sources, restoration Pádraig Ó Cearbhaill The Placenames Branch is part of the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. Prior to 2000, the office was attached to the Ordnance Survey of Ireland. The function of the Placenames Branch, in co-operation with An Coimisiún Logainmneacha,a Government appointed advisory body, is to research the placenames of Ireland in order to provide the correct Irish forms of those names for publication and official use. I would firstly like to give an overview of the research we have undertaken to date on the toponymy of Co. Clare and I also wish to say a little about the official status of Irish placenames. All of the post-towns within the county were researched initially and a provisional list of their Irish forms was published in 1960, circa ninety names in all, encompassing the towns, villages and other less important centres of population. Following a number of emendations, the official names of the post-towns of Ireland were published in Ainmneacha Gaeilge na mBailte Poist in 1969 and in 1975, by order under the Place-Names (Irish Forms) Act of 1973, the Irish names of post-towns within the State were given legal status. The same names, as well as a number of the important landscape features, are also recorded in the Gazetteer of Ireland, which was published in 1989. The Place-Names (Irish Forms) Act has now been superseded by the Official Languages Act 2003. In the course of the 1980s research on the toponomy of Co. -

In the last few weeks I travelled to 46 Cemeteries throughout Clare. They were mainly on the sites of old churches, monasteries or abbeys, with fascinating histories. The monks certainly had an eye for beauty and selected peaceful settings for their work. Some were on islands, nearly all were on hills, and they invariably were overlooking rivers, lakes, Lough Derg, the Shannon, the Shannon Estuary or the Atlantic. The views from some were spectacular. Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Scattery Island, Clareabbey, Quin Abbey, Killone Abbey, St Flannan’s Cathedral Killaloe, are amongst the most beautiful sites in Clare. -

Year of Mercy Pilgrimages, South Central Province the Prayer of The
Year of Mercy Pilgrimages, South Central Province The prayer of the feet, the pilgrimage, is one of the most ancient and universal forms of prayer. Is it any wonder that Pope Francis, in introducing the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, suggested that going on pilgrimage was one of way of deepening and strengthening our faith? The CLT latched on to this idea and thus was born the theme of pilgrimage to mark the Jubilee Year in a special way. Two members from each province were invited to plan pilgrim events in their respective provinces. RS Thomas attempts to capture the essence of Pilgrimage in the following lines: The point of travelling is not To arrive but to return home Laden with pollen you shall work up Into honey the mind feeds on. Being mindful of the geographical spread of the Province, we decided that it was impractical to have just one pilgrimage at a single location. We set about planning a variety of pilgrim experiences that would be accessible to many people in the province – not quite one for each county. Obviously it would have been impossible for us to organise every single pilgrimage and we are indebted to the all those who organised pilgrimages in April, May, August and September. Pilgrim Places April: Glendalough – Margaret Prendergast May: Solas Bhríde, Kildare and McAuley Tea Rooms, Naas – Anne Donnelly May: Coolock House, Callaghan’s Grave and Baggot Street, Dublin – Anne Reid and Kathleen Somers June: Holy Island, Lough Derg and Aistear Inis Cealtra, Mountshannon, Co Clare – Noirin Long and Mary Lillis July:
