  • Caher Macnaghten in the Barony of Burren, County Clare, Western Eire
    CAHER MACNAGHTEN IN THE BARONY OF BURREN, COUNTY CLARE, WESTERN EIRE By James Macnaughton A “Caher”(Cathair, Cashel) is an ancient stone-built Ring Fort of which there are around 40,000 examples scattered throughout Ireland, but mainly in the North and West. They were built during the Iron Age (800BC – 400AD) and served as protective forts for a small community and its livestock during “hit and run” raids by cattle thieves – like the Scottish Brochs. The more elaborate the walls and banks, the higher the status of the occupants, and some had links with nobility or Kingship. They were also used as a home for a freeman and his family – possibly for industrial purposes – for example pottery trading. Caher Macnaghten, two miles from Noughavel, is reasonably well preserved, having been constructed from big limestone blocks. It has immensely thick walls – 10 feet wide and stands 20 feet tall. Not far away is Mullaghmore, a mountain used for ritual purposes where everyone gathered to celebrate Lammas, Hallowe’en, St. Brigid’s Day and Mayday (Lughnasa, Samhain, Imbolc and Bealtaine). So far, so interesting, but the fascinating factor is the name of this particular Ring Fort in the Burren – Caher Macnaghten. We are familiar with the Macnaghtens of County 1 Antrim – our present Clan Chief, Sir Malcolm F. Macnaghten is of that ilk – who went over from the Mull of Kintyre around 1580 with Shane Dubh, but not only is the Burren in County Clare in Eire a long way to the South West of Antrim, but Caher Macnaghten was built between 800BC and 400AD, a

  • Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick Native I Feel Passionately About My Home
    Dear Sir/Madam, As a Limerick native I feel passionately about my home town, Limerick City. I applaud the efforts made by all those involved so far but feel that there should be significantly more ambition in terms of our housing and public transport networks. Limerick is at a size currently that allows us to plan for future growth, which is why we need to design and implement a light rail network now ahead of that growth, one which we can grow into in the future. I would implore you to design the city with a population of 300,000 in mind. I would also suggest and request that Limerick-Shannon, Cork and Waterford be allowed to update their MASPS as and when local development plans are put in place. For ease of reference I have attached a clean copy and marked up version of the Draft RSES which show my proposed and considered changes to the existing draft RSES. I trust you will take them under consideration. Thanking you in advance. Is mise le meas, p.s. I sent this email and its attachments from my personal account earlier today and also made a submission online. Apologies for the overlap. 1.0 | Introduction 1.1 | Overview Limerick City is the largest urban centre in Ireland’s Mid-West and the country’s third largest city. The NPF supports ambitious growth targets to enable Limerick City to grow by at least 50% to 2040 and to enhance its significant potential to become a city of scale. Shannon is a significant employment centre with assets such as Shannon International Airport, Shannon FreeZone and the International Aviation Services Centre (IASC).

  • The County Clare Surname Culligan
    The County Clare surname, Culligan, also written as Quilligan Author: [email protected] The author is the voluntary administrator of a Colgan surname (including Culligan) male DNA project and would welcome the participation of males who bear the Culligan surname in the study; of course, the initiative for participating in the simple, and inexpensive DNA test may be taken by female relatives or Culligan families acting collectively to cover the testing fee by FamilyTreeDNA.com. Prefatory Note Is Culligan a version of Colgan? MacLysaght writes: “Quilligan, Ó Cuileagáin - This Thomond [regional] name is equally well known in its variant form, Culligan” [McLysaght, A Guide to Irish Surnames, 1994]. In Edward MacLysaght’s Supplement to Irish Families, 1994, he wrote: “Culligan, Quilligan – Both these variants of Ó Cuileagáin are Clare names and are mainly found in that county and.. Limerick city … A century ago Culligan was much more numerous that Quilligan but the numbers are now about equal. Woulfe regards the name as an attenuated form of O’Colgan (which is said, without evidence, to be more correctly MacColgan). This implies that the sept immigrated westwards from Offaly which is to some extent corroborated by a fiant of 1588 where one of that name living in King’s County obtained a pardon. An earlier fiant shows another O’Colligan among the many O’Connors whose location is not mentioned. They were, however, well established in West Clare in the 17th century .. as Cullegane is returned in Petty’s Census as a principal name in the barony of Clonderalaw, Ennis”. This, the author’s Colgan Chronology does not include the surname Quilligan within its ambit.
