In nineteenth-century Britain, rumors about “the curse of the Nile” abounded. As Nezar AlSayyad points out, most explorers who sought the great river’s source not only failed in their mission, they also met untimely and unfortunate ends. James Bruce died alone after tumbling downstairs. Richard Burton was upstaged by his travel partner John Hanning Speke, who ultimately shot himself. David Livingstone disappeared while trying to solve the Nile mystery. However, there was one who seemed immune to the curse: Mbarak Mombée, who died peacefully in 1885 at age sixty-five.

Even successful treatment of these polluted waters comes with drawbacks. When large amounts of debris and runoff enter a waterway after a rainstorm, treatment plants use chemicals like chlorine to kill potentially harmful pollutants. But that process creates disinfection byproducts in the water, some of which are cancerous at high levels. These layered threats prompted a collection of scientists and water regulators to issue an “urgent call to action” to the EPA in 2009 to find a way to reduce the pollution outright.
Pointing out the threat to inland waters and coastal estuaries, the report’s authors warned, “nitrogen and phosphorus pollution has the potential to become one of the costliest, most difficult environmental problems we face in the 21st century.”

1985 Natalie Spassky, American Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art | Volume II | a catalogue of works by artists born between 1816 and 1845, pp.26-27 | unidentified artist | The Claremont.
Originally a private house before becoming a popular inn and dining spot about the middle of the nineteenth century, the Claremont stood near the Bloomingdale Road, at what is now Riverside Drive and 124th Street in New York.
The building had a long and interesting history. The property was acquired in 1796 from Nicholas de Peyster by George Pollock, a wealthy New York merchant. At that time a house stood near the banks of the Hudson River, but sometime after 1797, when Pollock’s son fell off the cliff and drowned, Pollock disposed of the property. In 1803 it was transferred to john B. Provoost, recorder of the city, and the same year it was acquired by Joseph Alston, husband of Aaron Burr’s daughter Theodosia. It passed to John Pintard in 1806 and was purchased by Michael Hogan, who either moved the original house or, more likely, built a new mansion on the /// spectacular site with its panoramic view of the river. According to one tradition, Hogan named the house Claremont after the royal residence at Surrey of Prince William, duke of Clarence, afterwards King William IV, with whom he had served as a fellow midshipman in the Royal Navy. The house was at various times occupied by such distinguished tenants as Lord Viscount Courtenay, afterwards earl of Devon; Joseph Bonaparte, former king of Spain and brother of Napoleon; and Francis James Jackson, onetime British minister at Washington. In 1821 it was acquired by Joel Post, who was a wholesale drug importer, and at his death in 1835, by his sons, Edward and Dr. Alfred C. Post. It became a popular public resort in the middle of the nineteenth century. In a memoir, written in 1871 by Abram C. Dayton, Last Days of Knickerbocker Life in New York (1882), the author reminisces: “what old or middle-aged resident does not with pleasure recall the good cheer dispensed by Edmund Jones, first at the Second Ward Hotel, in Nassau Street between Fulton and John, and subsequently, until his death, at the celebrated Claremont, on the Bloomingdale Road.”

BONUS: Canada’s state broadcaster paid staff $16 million in bonuses during a year of economic struggle for many Canadians, says a new report.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation reported on Thursday that CBC paid annual bonuses to more than 1,100 staff last year – adding up to an average of roughly $14,000 per bonus.
“Canadians are missing meals while many CBC staffers aren’t even missing bonuses,” said federation director Franco Terrazzano.
==========================
President Joe Biden's State of the Union address last night was fairly typical. There were platitudes about his efforts to "restore the soul of the nation" and oversee "fields of dreams" to "transform the heartland." There were tons of questionable statistics about the economy, job creation, and more, all in service of praising Democrats' massive spending packages. There were the same sorts of dubious claims that Biden has been making for years, including an assertion that despite all this spending, "nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in taxes."
One bit that stands out as either the funniest, the most pathetic, or both is Biden essentially declaring himself the nation's travel agent in chief.
Among his administration's accomplishments, he touted addressing issues that "make it harder for you to … afford that family trip."
"We're making airlines show you the full ticket price upfront and refund your money if your flight is cancelled or delayed," he announced at one point.
"We'll ban surprise 'resort fees' that hotels tack on to your bill," he said at another. "These fees can cost you up to $90 a night at hotels that aren't even resorts."
"And we'll prohibit airlines from charging up to $50 roundtrip for families just to sit together," Biden said.
Hotel fees. The way airlines display ticket prices. Why is the president of the United States so focused on the minutiae of American vacations?
At first blush, it makes no sense. But it becomes a little more rational when you consider both his constraints and his administration's general desire to control business practices.
At the moment, Democrats can't give the left the big new entitlement programs that they want (thank goodness). So Biden talking up a ton of tiny changes he's making to address small inconveniences and financial burdens is a way to signal that he's fighting for poor and middle-class Americans without actually risking very much. In addition to fighting resort fees and airline ticket pricing, Biden pledged to cap service fees on tickets to concerts and sporting events and boasted about lowering credit card late fees, bank overdraft fees, and other "junk fees."

My name is not. According to the database How Many of Me, which calculates the likely incidence of first/last name combinations, 1,000 other guys in the US have my name, Kevin Kelly.

William Drennan: Drennan's Ancestors were the Irish clan Ó Draighnáin, Anglicized to Drennan meaning "grandson of blackthorn". William was son to Reverend Thomas Drennan (1696–1768), minister of Belfast's First Presbyterian Church on Rosemary Street, where William was born in 1754.[3] Thomas Drennan was an educated man from the University of Glasgow and was ordained to the congregation of Holywood, Co. Down in 1731. Drennan was heavily influenced by his father, whose religious convictions served as the foundation for his own radical political ideas. His sister, Martha, married fellow future United Irishman Samuel McTier in 1773.

Seanad Éireann debate -Tuesday, 11 Mar 2008
Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy.
Senator Donie Cassidy
I pay tribute to Kit Ahern, a former member of this House and Dáil Éireann, who died recently at the age of 92. Although a native of Limerick, she spent her adult life in Ballybunion, County Kerry, following her marriage to Dan Ahern and went on to become an active member of Kerry County Council.
I had the pleasure of knowing Kit personally. She was a truly wonderful person, a formidable woman who worked tirelessly promoting the welfare of rural Ireland and, in particular, the quality of life for Irish women. Kit was passionate about the Irish language, our culture and the arts and used every opportunity to promote all things Irish. She first came to prominence as president of the Irish Countrywomen's Association, ICA, between 1961 and 1964. Kit and her ICA colleagues travelled the length and breadth of Ireland recruiting new members and instilling a sense of optimism for the future of rural Ireland. The ICA was involved in many battles to bring running water and electricity to rural Ireland, the basic essentials of day-to-day living.
Kit was appointed to Seanad Éireann by the then Taoiseach, Seán Lemass, in 1964 and subsequently retained her seat on the cultural and educational panel in 1965. She contested the general elections in north Kerry in 1965, 1969 and 1973 and secured a seat in the Dáil in 1977 under the then Taoiseach, Jack Lynch. It was the first time two Fianna Fáil Deputies were elected to the north Kerry constituency, the other being the late Tom McEllistrim, also a Member of this House and whose family continues to be represented in Dáil Éireann. She served one term in the Dáil as a Deputy and, on losing her seat in 1981, subsequently retired from national politics. However, despite all her achievements, Kit never lost sight of her humble roots and once described herself as "the first pleb to be elected president of the Irish Countrywomen's Association".
She was a wonderful woman and a great person to know. She worked tirelessly on behalf of the people of north Kerry and rural Ireland. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. We on this side of the House will remember her as a great friend who served in both Houses of the Oireachtas. The people of Kerry have lost a loyal and true person. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam.
Frances Fitzgerald
Senator Frances Fitzgerald
On behalf of the Fine Gael group, I pay tribute to the former councillor, Senator and Deputy, the late Kit Ahern. She was a pioneering woman, one of the few women in Irish politics when she was first elected. She had a passionate commitment to rural Ireland, to the quality of life for women and a strong commitment to arts, culture and language. Her influence in many ways transcended party political lines. She was a president of the Irish Countrywomen's Association, which is a marvellous organisation. She played a key role in building up that organisation in the 1940s and 1950s. As she said, she did not come into it a ready-made organisation; she helped to form and build it. It played a key role for many years, particularly at that time in rural life, and it continues to play a role today.
She was also a member of the Bord Fáilte. She was an avid promoter of the Irish language and president of the Kerry Historical and Archaeological Society. She had broad interests. I did not know her personally but people speak warmly of her. She was first female cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council when appointed in 1977. She was also elected, as the Leader said, to the Seanad and Dáil on a number of occasions and retired in 1981.
While I did not know her personally, what I have heard about her shows what a positive, constructive and innovative contribution she made to public life in Ireland and in the Oireachtas. I note Senator O'Sullivan was quoted in theIrish Examiner as saying she had huge integrity. That is a wonderful tribute to be paid to anyone. To her family, friends and her colleagues, I extend my deepest sympathies and those of the Fine Gael Party. May she rest in peace.
Joe O'Toole
Senator Joe O’Toole
I extend condolences from the Independent benches to the former Senator Kit Ahern's family and party. I never served with her but knew her quite well. She was a pleasant woman and a great conversationalist. She never visited the House without going out of her way to speak to any of us with Kerry connections or from Kerry. I used to always tell her, like I tell all people from that part of west Limerick, that they know they are really Kerry people even though their address might be west Limerick.
She spread her wings quite well and her bloodline has had a significant impact on Kerry's status. Her great nephew "Bomber" Liston brought great silverware to Kerry and her cousin, Senator O'Sullivan, is continuing the name and operation of Kit's family in politics.
She was born in Athea but we always associate her with Kerry. We pay tribute and recognise the work she has done in this building, be it the Dáil or Seanad. Anybody who puts himself or herself forward for public representation is engaged in the highest area of activism in a democracy. Regardless of his or her party or views, I always recognise and salute that, and we should do that.
More importantly in the case of this woman, she was a role model as a community activist. She was involved in everything in her community and in the development of the ICA, in particular, in which she reached high office. She made her contribution at local level, including in the ICA, but also in every local association, organisation and club. She was a member of a county council and had a commitment to local community. She also served in Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann. It is people like her who become role models for young people. It is to people like her we should refer as teachers in terms of people's responsibilities in a democracy. Their responsibilities are not only to receive but to give. While we might agree or disagree with some of the measures she proposed along the way, her commitment is the requirement and responsibility or being a citizen in a democracy and must be much prized and supported. As a teacher she made her contribution, which I recognise.
I recognise, salute, and pay tribute to a woman who made a contribution as a teacher, in her local community, county, Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann. We can ask no more of a citizen. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Alex White
Senator Alex White
I would like to add my voice and that of the Labour Party to the tributes that have been paid to the former Senator and Deputy Kit Ahern.
I was struck by a point made by Senator Harris, with which I strongly agree, that there is a tendency in our public debate and discourse to almost to write off people at a relatively young age or increasingly at a younger age. In particular in political life, it is important to recall and pay tribute to the enormous contribution of somebody like the former Senator Ahern who joined a new political party at the age of 70. In an age when it is often suggested that politics is an ephemeral entity or is purely characterised by media spin, it is vital that we recall and pay tribute to the enormous contribution of somebody like the former Senator Ahern over many years, not only directly in political life but through the ICA, an extraordinary organisation with huge history and record of public service, as referred to by Senator Fitzgerald and others.
I pass on our condolences to the late Mrs. Ahern's family and her political colleagues in the Progressive Democrats. I noticed that in one interview when the former Senator Ahern was asked about her nomination for election to the Seanad she said, with a mixture of idealism and true practical thinking, that she accepted the nomination that had been given to her to the Seanad for three reasons. She said it was first, as a tribute to the women of Ireland, secondly, as a tribute to herself and, thirdly, to try to create a base for a new north Kerry Fianna Fáil Deputy.
She was a woman who made a huge contribution and it is sad that we are noting her passing today, but her's was a life full of commitment and real, genuine public service. In those circumstances, I am pleased to add my voice to what has been said.
Dan Boyle
Senator Dan Boyle
On behalf of the Green Party, Comhaontas Glas, I express sympathy on the passing of the former Senator and Deputy Kit Ahern. I was struck by two factors from reading media notices of her passing. The first one is the reputation she — having lived to the age of 92 — seemed to have maintained in the Kerry area well after she had exited public life. The second factor is a personal one. She finished elected public office at the election I first participated in as a voter; there is probably close to 50 years between us. For her to have maintained such a reputation among the people she served is a recommendation in its own right and anyone involved in public life should strive to attain that. Some people look for baubles from their activities in pubic life but her example is a better one to live by. On finishing elected public office, she maintained her involvement in public life. By her actions and words she made herself known in terms of her views on the nature of politics and how she believed she could contribute as an individual, despite not holding public office.
Another area should be further acknowledged before we conclude these expressions of sympathy. In a political system where women continue to be under-represented, she was active at a time when female Members in this and the other House numbered no more than single figures. To have operated in such an environment and to have ploughed a furrow for the slow and steady progress that has since been achieved should serve as an indicator of how much remains to be done in this area. Particular tribute must be paid to a parliamentarian who played a role in advocating the need for women to be more actively involved in public life. Her passing presents us with a challenge to ensure the level of female participation in politics is improved as quickly as possible.
Fiona O'Malley
Senator Fiona O’Malley
I pay tribute to Ms Kit Ahern and the contribution she made to political life. Although small in stature and fragile in appearance, she was certainly tough in spirit. As a woman in politics, and traditional politics in Kerry at that, she was a pioneer. She was a courageous woman who stood up for what she believed in and represented her community, country and gender proudly. She was something of a trail-blazer and I am proud that she was born in Limerick. It is typical of Kerry people that they try to take credit for every good that comes out of Limerick.
Kit Ahern was a modest woman in many ways and I was delighted to get to know her in the course of the emergence of the political party of which I am a member. At the tender age of 70, as Senator Alex White observed, she decided to join another political organisation to which she remained fiercely loyal until her death. As Senator Boyle said, when she left public life and the front line of politics, she continued to work loyally and tirelessly behind the scenes on behalf of her local community and her political party. She was an impressive individual and a person I am proud to have associated with my political party. It is a pleasure to pay tribute to her as a person who paved the way for the involvement of women in politics. I am proud to follow in her footsteps.
Ned O'Sullivan
Senator Ned O’Sullivan
Kit Ahern was a cousin of mine. She was a person I greatly admired and whom I was proud to support during her long and successful political career. She was an individual of great vision and with a strong sense of duty to serve her country and community. She was driven primarily by a desire to ensure women received political equality at a time when that principle was not universally acknowledged. She was president of the ICA prior to her involvement in politics and she worked hard to develop home industry for housewives at a time when there were few opportunities for women outside the home.
Kit was honoured to receive a nomination to the Seanad from the then Taoiseach, Seán Lemass, on two occasions, in 1964 and 1965. As Senator Alex White observed, she accepted the nomination to the Seanad as a tribute to mná na hÉireann. She was subsequently elected to the Seanad in 1969 and 1973 on the cultural and educational panel before finally being elected to Dáil Éireann in 1977, on the fourth attempt, after coming close on two occasions prior to that. Just before her death she joked to me that the new configuration of north Kerry and west Limerick gave her reason to think of coming out of retirement at the age of 92. Her political battles in north Kerry, not all of them with members of other political parties, are part of the folklore of political life in the county. Kit used to say it is not a question of the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. She always displayed great courage in adversity.
She was a great supporter of all things Gaelic. Bhí fíor-ghrá ag Kit dár gcultúr dhúchais. Bhí sí dílis don teanga Gaeilge i rith a saol. She was a loyal and dependable individual. Her integrity was important to her and there could be no compromise on matters of principle. This was the reason for her decision to join the Progressive Democrats Party under the leadership of her close friend, Des O'Malley, a man she admired greatly and who is admired by many of us in north Kerry. This decision was respected by her former colleagues in Fianna Fáil and although she made many new friends, she never lost her old ones. However, her decision gave me many sleepless nights at the time.
Her late husband, Dan, and her brother, Eoin, were her greatest supporters. She was proud of all her family, with a special pride in the achievements of her nephew, Eoin "The Bomber" Liston. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue her work in the Seanad and to pay tribute to her in this Chamber. I thank the Leader for arranging this tribute to Kit. On behalf of her family, I thank all those who have spoken so kindly of her.
Paul Coghlan
Senator Paul Coghlan
I wish to be associated with the warm and well deserved tributes that have been paid to the late Kit Ahern. I did not know Kit well but she struck me as a kind and most pleasant lady on every occasion I met her. She was a great conversationalist and a wonderful contributor to everything in which she was involved. It is good and fitting that her cousin, Senator O'Sullivan, should be here to pay tribute to her.
She was a great national president of the ICA. As county president for some of that period, my mother worked well with her. Kit had a tremendous record of dedicated and distinguished service, both locally and nationally. She was a wonderful leader of the county council — the first female chairman — in 1977. She was a great representative and promoter of Kerry and a wonderful director of Bord Fáilte. She served well in this and the other House. Her contribution to everything she did speaks for itself. Kit led a full life. I extend my deepest sympathy to her family.
David Norris
Senator David Norris
I did not have the pleasure of being in the House when Ms Ahern was a Member and subsequently Cathaoirleach, but I met her on three occasions, widely separated by years. The first was when, as Cathaoirleach, she chaired a debate organised by one of the major debating societies in Trinity College. At this debate, one of my friends who had not only a double but a triple personality, being variously a strong republican from the midlands, an Orangeman from the shipyards of Belfast or a relic of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy, decided to make lurid comments and vulgarly abusive remarks about the appointment of a Roman Catholic clergyman as chaplain to Trinity College. Ms Ahern took these comments seriously and remarked that this person must be a Protestant guttersnipe from Ballymena. She was terribly entertained when the joke was explained to her.
I met her subsequently at Listowel writers' week where I discovered she had a grip almost as good her successor, Tras Honan. Ms Ahern was devoted to Kerry, knew its literature intimately and had that wonderful way with words that Kerry people have. The final time I met her was some two years ago when I spoke at the Brendan Kennelly summer school in Kerry. She was as vigorous as ever even though a woman of considerable age. I listened with great interest to what she had to say. Senator O'Sullivan said she liked to remark that the important thing is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. This accurately reflects my occasional experiences of the late Senator Ahern.
Pat Moylan
An Cathaoirleach
I wish to be associated with the tributes which have been paid to the late Kit Ahern who, as has been said already, was nominated to this House on two occasions by the former Taoiseach, Seán Lemass. Kit served on the cultural and educational panel from 1969 to 1977 and made many worthwhile contributions to the debates in this House. She then successfully contested a Dáil election and served in that House from 1977 to 1981. On a personal note, her late brother Paddy was a neighbour of mine in Banagher for many years. In keeping with the Ahern tradition, he was a very industrious and respected member of the community as a tailor and publican in the town. I extend my sincerest sympathies to the extended family of Kit Ahern on their sad loss.
Members rose.
“By reconstructing these records, which collectively comprise millions of historical and genealogical facts, we have the potential to transform the evidence base on which Irish history is written. Because the archival collections date from such an early period of history, the reconstruction effort will allow anyone with an interest in researching their families or localities to engage in deep history, reaching back almost half a millennium earlier than most readily available genealogical resources.”

Mr. Lemass: Information on Seán F. Lemass Zoom on Seán F. Lemass This Party stands for the same principles as were enunciated in 1916. The first of these is majority rule, the right of the representatives elected by the people of the country to [218] make laws binding on these people without fear, favour, rent or render, or permission from any other authority on earth. That is what we are standing for. We are going to see that majority rule will operate, and that it will be effective majority rule; in other words, that it will be possible to ascertain exactly what the will of the majority is by giving them every opportunity of expressing it. We have had Deputy Fitzgerald asking do we contemplate some possibility at some time in the future of somebody advocating communism? Of course, we contemplate that. It is open to people to advocate communism, and if they can get a sufficient number of people to elect them in support of a communistic doctrine, to come in here and advocate it. It is no crime to advocate any political policy, and we are not going to make it a crime. We are going to try and make the Dáil representative of every section of opinion in the country. It is by doing that that we can achieve more to secure stability and ordered progress than the late Government did by seventeen Coercion Acts during their ten years in office. Deputy Hogan has expressed the hope that this peace will last. I can assure him that he will get his hope.

Mr. J. Flynn: Information on John Flynn Zoom on John Flynn I have written to the Minister for Justice in connection with the proposed new barracks. Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding on the part of Deputy Corry and myself, but certain advertisements were issued and we took it for granted that new barracks were to be erected in Kerry. Therefore, I did communicate with the Minister for Justice on the question. I understand now that no such scheme will be carried through. There was an item in last year's estimate of £1,500 for each of at least four barracks in Kerry. The Minister at the moment has intimated to me that it will not be discussed now but later. I would like to impress upon him that if at all possible the erection of these barracks in Kerry or in any other county should be deferred, and that the money proposed for them would be far more remuneratively spent by providing employment in other ways than in the erection of barracks or the repair of barracks either.
[227] Opposition Deputies have referred to peace and prosperity. I would point out one real menace to peace in rural portions of the Co. Kerry. Certain members of the detective forces have done terrible things in their time. They have gone so far as to torture innocent men from political motives, and these forces are still retained in Kerry in certain rural districts. I would ask the Minister at least, pending a revision or disbandment of these forces, to remove them from the districts in which they did desperate things against certain sections of the people. I would point out very strongly that it would be a real basis of peace if such elements were removed or if there was an intimation that in the very near future the Minister could accomplish that.

Bullied as a child because he was small for his age, Gino Bartali identified with the underdog. He was first exposed to the growing evil of Fascism through his father, Torello, who was associated with an anti-Fascist labour movement that was trying to gain basic rights for workers who did backbreaking work for minimal pay. When one of that movement’s leaders was murdered by the Fascists, it was a sign that they wouldn’t tolerate opposition.

Anarchy at Listowel Heritage in Tourism Conference, April 2012
The Heritage in Tourism conference in Listowel on 21 April demonstrated yet again the complete anarchy that currently exists in the related fields.
Glossy publications are everywhere – no doubt helped by Wikipedia – and they are supposed to distract and sidetrack the tourist. They cost a mint to produce, and the czars of tourism and heritage and grant organizations support them all with the taxpayers money. And all this is expected to bring tourists to the region and keep them there. It is all a disaster for those of us who address some kind of core curriculum.
And the biggest scandal is that the czars making the decisions are MBA qualified, who don’t know their core curriculum to start with and have the fashionable prejudice of the secular Left against what truly distinguishes Kerry, the Christian centuries. So they favour instead geology, archaeology, botany and lichens and molluscs, producing glossy brochures designed to send folk into bogs or up mountains or wade up to their knees in brine.
There were lots of pious aspirations, but they ignored the guiding imperative, which is paper and procedures and all the roadblocks put in place by officials to justify their fat-cat jobs; the real genius of officialdom, including the offices of the czars, is to foil initiative and play at being ceos. Some of the participants tried to wring blood from a stone. Example: the B&Bs of Dingle – those outside the town – are making no money; what can we do? nothing, it’s all down to the drink driving laws.
Even if you solved the problem of heritage illiteracy among the heritage elite, or demoted some of them to subsidiary positions where they belong, there would still be the problem of clutter. The clutter arises from grants i.e. free money; politicians and community groups become involved because of grants, and the effect of this is that the fat-cat ceos get the opportunity to play God by turning applications into a game of management. I can tell you for one that none of them ever phones a writer, or hangs out with anybody but a politician or the leader of a community group.
The Lock Estate
by Kay O' Leary
The Lock Estate
A Growing Debt
The Lock(e) Estate which was bought by the Hurlys in 1857 (and included Lyreacrompane) had financial problems dating back many years. On the 21st of April 1825 part of the lands of Fenit (Within) were mortgaged by William Lock Snr of Norbury Park in Surrey and William Lock Jnr to secure repayment to a George Watson Smith for thesum of £2,000 and interest.
On the 28th of February 1827 a similar sum plus interest was secured. On the 15th of January, 1828 £1,500 was repaid by William Lock Jnr to George Smith. On the same date the Locks secured a £9,500 loan from Smith. Sixteen days later the agreement was amended to include Elizabeth Catherine Locke, wife of William Snr and Frederica Augusta Lock, his mother. At this stage the Locks owed £12,000 to William Smith. Provision of £700 yearly was made for Elizabeth Catherine Lock if she should survive her husband and the security was Fenit House and Estate.
In December 1829, William Lock Jnr married Selina …… and he died on the 15th of September 1832 leaving a daughter, Amelia Selina Lock and his wife Selina. One wonders what he was up to when he passed away because exactly nine months later!!! Selene gave birth to a daughter, Augusta Selina Elizabeth Lock (who subsequently became the Duchess De St Arpino). William Lock’s first daughter, Amelia, died January 1834 aged two.
William Lock Snr (landlord of lands including Lyreacrompane) died on the 15th December, 1847, at Lee in the County of Kent, his wife, Elizabeth Catherine, having died in May of the previous year. The will of William Lock Snr. referred to his estates in Kerry and made a specific provision of £20 yearly for their life to Mary Jaccaz then residing in Paris and who had been in his service for many years and the same to Louisa M…. who was then in his service. It gave a legacy of £500 apiece to his granddaughters, Frederica Elizabeth Blake and Elizabeth Blake.
The main beneficiary was his daughter whom he referred to as Elizabeth Lady Wallscourt and he had appointed his brother, Rev George Lock and three others as executors. In a codicil dated the first of September 1847. William Lock did direct that “all such household goods and furniture, linen, china, jewels, paintings, pictures, sculpture and books” should go to his daughter, Elizabeth.
In October 1849, at the age of 16, Augusta Selina Elizabeth Lock (referred to in the above will) married the Right Honourable Ernest Fitzroy Neville Fane (commonly called Lord Burghersh). Ernest (probably an old man when he married the teenage Augusta) died on 22nd of January 1857 leaving Augusta Selena a widow with no issue.
Augusta Selena was now known as Lady Burghersh and in Griffiths Valuations of 1852 she is listed as the landlord of almost 2,000 acres of land in the Lyreacrompane district.
It would appear that the Locks administrated their estates as absentee Landlords.
Lyreacrompane Tenants in the Lock Estate 1820s.
A record of the Tithes Aplotments for 1820s shows the following were tenants in the Lyeracrompane area at that time. The Tithes were a Church of Ireland charge on tenants based on the amount of land they held and were a source of major discontent for the Catholic peasantry. Later in the century the Tithes were reduced to 25% and transferred as a charge on to the Landlord. However, many landlords passed on this extra cost to the tenancy by way of rent increases. This added to the general discontent of the time. In the 1880s there were about 20 evictions in Lyreacrompane.
Lyreacrompane
Darby Dillane, Thomas Connor, Daniel Connor, Patrick Connell, W O.Halloran.
These tenants held a total of 443 acres, 1 rood and 16 perches. The tithes charge on these tenants totalled £4 6s 3d. Also mentioned as being in Lyreacrompane at that time were Patrick Dillane and Owen (?) Connell.
Carrigcannon
John O’Halloran, John Heffernan, John Costello, Robert Stack
These Tenants held a total of 719 acres and the Tithes charge was £3 17s 6d.
Clahaneagleragh
Michael Enright, Pat Buckley, John Walsh
Those tenants held a total of 252 acres, 2 roods and 31 perches.
Glenalema
Maurice McElligott, Thomas McElligott.
These tenants held a total of 114 acres.
Lock Estate Tenants in 1852
According to Griffiths Valuation 1852 the tenants in the Lyreacrompane area at the time of the sale of the Lock Estate to the Hurlys were all were tenants of Lady Burghersh.
Lyreacrompane
Patrick and Edmond Dillane (381 acres), Thomas and Mathias Connor and Edmund Molyneaux (417 acres), Eugene and Patrick Connell & William Kirby (159 acres). The following were sub-tenants of Patrick Dillane; Michael Buckley, Mary Stack and Richard Gregory. John Quill was a sub tenant of Thomas Connor, Mathias Connor & Edmund Molyneaux.
Carrigcannon
Thomas Halloran (716 acres), Patrick Stack (223 acres). Anne Connell and John Sheehy were sub- tenants of Tom Halloran and Michael Doran was a sub-tenant of Patrick Stack.
Glashananoon
Timothy Cronin and Maurice Enright (138 acres), Michael Shanahan (121 acres). Edward Enright was a sub-tenant of Tim Cronin and Maurice Enright.
Gortaclohane
Mathew Kennelly, Mary Dillane, Jer Dillane, Patrick Dillane Snr (116 acres), Jer, James and John Gallivan (179 acres), Patrick and Maurice Shanahan and Maurice and Patrick Kelly (100 acres), John and Thomas Dillane (185 acres total) Thomas Cahill, Catherine Dillane and Patrick Dillane Jnr were sub-tenants of Matt Kennelly and Margaret Dillane was a sub-tenant of John and Thomas Dillane. (The record shows that there was a graveyard in Gortaclohane in 1852 measuring 33 perches).
Knocknaglough
Thomas and Michael Quill (193 acre sub-tenant of Thomas Connor)
John Hurly, of Fenit House, bought the Locke Estate in 1857.

New Hibernia Review 10.1 (2006) 139-146 _________________________________________________________________ [Access article in PDF] Edward F. Barrett (1869-1936), Abbey Playwright Sheila Phelan
National University Of Ireland, Galway The extraordinary creative activity of Dublin's Abbey Theatre in the opening decades of the last century was the work not only of notable figures of
literary and theatrical stature but, also of lesser figures who contributed in minor ways as their lives intersected for perhaps a year or two with the visionary project of Yeats and Lady
Gregory. Edward F. Barrett, an accountant, wrote plays in his spare time, one of which was produced at the Abbey Theatre in 1918. His story is essentially that of an amateur who, in different
circumstance, may have flourished as a playwright. Barrett was born on St. Valentine's Day, 1869. His mother was a Fitzmaurice from Listowel and his father was a publican. When Edward was a young
boy, his father sold his pub and moved the family out to Newtown Sandes, a small village in the townland of Coolleen in North Kerry. As he grew up Barrett was interested in books and literature.
After leaving school he trained as an accountant. He also taught for a time at St. Michael's College in Listowel. Dublin was an attractive prospect for an ambitious young man, and he soon
obtained a position as business manager with Messrs. Smith and Sons, Silversmiths, of Wicklow Street. Although his move to Dublin was permanent, Barrett retained strong ties to Kerry and in 1898,
at the age of twenty-nine, he married Nora Hunt, whose family farm at Knockanure was also in the townland of Coolleen. It was, by all accounts, a happy marriage. Nora and Eddie had one daughter,
Maura, born in Dublin on October 15, 1906. Eddie Barrett grew up in North Kerry during a time of considerable political and social agitation. Farmers there suffered much...

Sheweing, that of your suppliants some have by gods great mercy & goodnes with the great hazard of their Lives & the vtter Losse of theire whole estates, escaped the fury of the Irish rebells, whose vnparalled cruelty exercised on such as fell within theire power doth sufficiently appeare
Some of them although resident in & about the Citty of Dublin yett had their estates lying further off in the countrie possessed by the rebells
The whole Livelyhood also of others consisting in certaine somes of money being the legacies Left vnto them by theire deceased parents, all being either in the hands of such as now are in actuall rebellion or of such others as were by the rebells slaine or wholly stripped out of all, and therefore disenabled to answere the necessityes of your suppliants

Reason to pay poor
222
August. 15. 1642
Reasons why the Committee for contribucion to the distressed Subiects of Ireland doe thinke fitt to order that the summes of money contained in the proposicions presented by Doctor Jones should be ordered to be payd unto them according to the sayd proposicions, though there be not present money to satisfye the same.
1.That there be willbe forthwith a great confluence of poore Ministers & other poore out of Ireland, that will come ouer; which the ordering of this money to be payd then when it cometh in, though it be not presently payd the , will prevent; as the sayd Doctor Jones is certainly informed from the Master of the Rolles there, Ser Sergeant Maior Riues, Sergeant Maior to the Lo: Lambert & o t from the Commissioners for the Ministers & divers other persons of good credit; as appeareth by their seuerall lettres.
2.In that confluence of Irish into the this Kingdome, there willbe an inevitable danger of their bringing ouer the infection of the plague pestilent fever with them, as hath bene allready done in some parts of Devon.
3.When this money is so ordered to be disposed of, it will stopp the ordering of it to be disposed any other way;
4.When it is once knowen in Ireland, that this money will is so ordered here vpon that report, the poore Ministers & other poore will there get releife vpon by loanes & advancement vpon that hope in confidence of repayment from hence vpon that order.
5.If those Ministers for want of this order should come out of Ireland, there would be great want of their service there, for both for their preaching of the Gospell generally throughout the whole Kingdome, & particularly to the armye.
6. That by reason of their extreme povertie both in clothes & all manner of sustenance, they are willbe in danger & allready threatned to be forthwith turned out of their dwellings & lodgings; whereas the n notice of such an order, would giue them credit, till money come.
