Presentation of Essay Prizes by H.E. Deike Potzel. 20:30 Patricia Byrne: The Preacher and the Prelate: Achill Mission Colony and the battle for souls in famine Ireland. Book launch by Sheila McHugh with a response to the book by Hilary Tulloch and reading by Patricia Byrne. The Preacher and the Prelate tells the extraordinary story of an audacious fight for souls on famine- ravaged Achill Island in the nineteenth century. Religious ferment sweeps Ireland in the early 1800s and evangelical clergyman Edward Nangle sets out to lift the destitute people of Achill out of degradation and idolatry through his Achill Mission Colony. A settlement grows up on the slopes of Slievemore with cultivated fields, schools, a printing press and hospital. The Achill Mission colony attracts attention and visitors from far afield. In the years of the Great Famine the ugly charge of ‘souperism’, offering food and material benefits in return for religious conversion, tainted the Achill Mission’s work.

    Bibliomara: an Annotated Indexed Bibliography of Cultural and Maritime Heritage Studies of the Coastal Zone in Ireland

    BiblioMara: An annotated indexed bibliography of cultural and maritime heritage studies of the coastal zone in Ireland BiblioMara: Leabharliosta d’ábhar scríofa a bhaineann le cúltúr agus oidhreacht mara na hÉireann (Stage I & II, January 2004) Max Kozachenko1, Helen Rea1, Valerie Cummins1, Clíona O’Carroll2, Pádraig Ó Duinnín3, Jo Good2, David Butler1, Darina Tully3, Éamonn Ó Tuama1, Marie-Annick Desplanques2 & Gearóid Ó Crualaoich 2 1 Coastal and Marine Resources Centre, ERI, UCC 2 Department of Béaloideas, UCC 3 Meitheal Mara, Cork University College Cork Department of Béaloideas Abstract BiblioMara: What is it? BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.

Mayo +353(0)98 20400 www.achilltourism.com Walk K – Dooega-Minaun Loop Starting at the carpark at Lavelle’s Seaside House (1) in Dooega travel north- eastwards for 2km (Knockmore 337m is on the right). Follow the gravel road on the left which passes through a series of turbaries, where turf is harvested as fuel for domestic use. Turn right where this road meets with the tarmac road at Mweelin (2). Take the next tarmac road on the left which zig-zags upwards to the T.V. mast on Minaun Hill (403m) (3). From here, there is a bird’s eye view of the island in all directions – the Minaun cliffs to the south-west, Achill Head and Croaghaun to the north-west, Slievemore to the north, the Nephin Beg mountain range to the east, Croagh Patrick to the south-east, Clare Island to the south and in the far distance Mweelrea and the Mamturk mountains. From the T.V. mast return along the tarmac road for 750m. Leaving the road, descend by following the spur to the north- east at Maumnaman. Further on, the spur is traversed by a bog cut trail. Follow this trail south-eastwards (to the right) as it contours the lower slopes of Minaun Hill. Turn right where the trail meets a gravel road. Continue to the end of the road. Travel south-westwards across the open mountain, crossing the Mweelin road (4) and continue on to the tarmac road further south. Turn right here and return straight back to the starting point.

It stands in the famine graveyard in Sligo. Conlon wrote this description of Faoin Sceach: This Bronze Tree stands as a symbol of dignity. It marks the final resting place of the unnamed dead of this area who perished in the Great Famine of 1845-1847. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) was like a never-ending win­ ter. Its chill of desolation brought hunger, disease, and death. In Ireland the lone tree or Sceach was held in a position of high importance from early Celtic mythology to recent times. The boulder stones surrounding the base allude to ancient forms of burial.

    GrenadierThe Gazette 2010 THE REGIMENTAL JOURNAL OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS IssueNo33 Price £5.00 IN MEMORIAM Gdsm Jamie Janes Gdsm Jamie Janes was killed by an improvised explosive device on October 5, 2009, just after arriving in theatre. He was the first Battalion and 11 Light Brigade fatality in Helmand Province. As a member of 6 Platoon, No 2 Company, he was terribly injured whilst clearing a route for his patrol and died en route to hospital near Nad-e_Ali district centre. On his second tour of Afghanistan, he was an experienced guardsman who willingly stepped forward to take on the difficult task of clearing routes; he was an example to all less experienced soldiers and gave his section and platoon great confidence. He died protecting his friends from danger. WO1 (RSM) Darren Chant On a day which no one within the serving Battalion will forget, WO1 (RSM) Chant was one of three Grenadiers murdered by a rogue Afghan policeman 3 November 2009. The policeman opened fire on a large number of British mentors at a secure Police checkpoint in the Nad-e-Ali having just returned from a joint patrol. The Sergeant Major, Sgt Matthew Telford and Gdsm James Major of the 1st Battalion were killed alongside two Royal Military Police mentors, Cpl Steve Boote and Cpl Nicholas Webster-Smith. As the senior soldier in the Battalion, WO1 (RSM) Chant had been detached from the remainder of the Battalion and been commanding the mixed team of British troops responsible for mentoring Afghan police in the area. He had joined the Regiment in 1986 and had served multiple tours of Northern Ireland, as well as Kuwait in 1990, Bosnia and previously in Afghanistan.
