October 21st: MÁM is a dance show that was created by the renowned choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan on the Dingle Peninsula. Featuring twelve international dancers from his Teac Damsa dance company, the virtuoso concertina player Cormac Begley from West Kerry, the European classical contemporary musical collective stargaze, and Michael’s young daughter Ellie, it’s a piece that explores what it’s like to move into a new language, a new culture, and a new life.
On October 28^th, the National Folk Theatre Choir will present a new production called Cultúr. It’s a show that brings us back in time to 1922, when the political situation in Kerry was volatile and times were tough for people. However, those people had songs, music and dances to console them and give them cause for cheer. Cultúr is a show that celebrates the enduring power of that culture.

The Way I See It
By Domhnall de Barra
The past few years have been strange, to say the least. For the first time in our lives we experienced lack of freedom due to the Covid pandemic and had to totally readjust our way of life. Our social life almost disappeared and normal pursuits, like going to the pub, to see a play, go for a meal, the cinema or even to call in to the neighbours were denied to us. During that time some of us became addicted to watching daytime television programmes. I count myself amongst the gullible who spent hours watching what can only be described as pure rubbish, but what else was there to do? I did, however, discover a few gems. “Last of the Summer Wine” is a programme based on the exploits of three elderly, retired men in Yorkshire who spend their days roaming around the locality and getting into all sorts of bother. It is simple but pure genius and can be watched over and over again. I have the advantage of knowing the area where it is televised but it could be based anywhere and still have the same effect. Another show I really enjoyed was a programme called Q I, a group of comedians around a table with Stephen Fry as the host who asks questions about science, obscure subjects and trivial knowledge to which the comedians respond in as humorous a way as possible. Most of the subjects are really interesting and I, for one, have learned a lot from them. Quite recently I tuned into the programme again and Stephen was in his element. He is, without doubt, one of the cleverest men on the planet but he succeeds in hiding it well. On this occasion he spoke about the man who first invented the weather forecast. As a matter of fact, this man had two ideas he floated at the same time. One of his theories, about forecasting the weather was rejected out of hand as being impossible but his other theory about why Dinosaurs were extinct was accepted. That theory claimed that the reason dinosaurs disappeared was due to the fact that they were too big to fit in Noah’s Ark!!. I know that many of you, like me, were taught at school that Noah built a mighty Ark to survive the great flood and put two of every living thing into it to ensure the continuation of the world when the rain stopped. It was, of course, from the old testament which mostly can be taken with a pinch of salt but, as young impressionable people, we believed it. It cannot stand up to any logical or scientific scrutiny but it was what we were supposed to believe. Dave Allen was a comedian who had a programme on the BBC back in the middle of the last century. He was not a great fan of the old testament and regularly brought it into his comedy routine. Once he said, “Was Noah really a wise man? He brought two of every living creature into the Ark, a wooden structure, including wood lice”. I worry about whole societies who build their lives around ancient religious scriptures and try to inflict them on the rest of us. Look at the Taliban and what they are trying to do to women in Afghanistan. This is all based on adhering strictly to a set of rules that were laid down so long ago that they have little relevance to today’s world and more enlightened reasoning. This might come as a surprise to many of you but there are still some people who believe that the world is flat! God bless them.
I have written about the problems in our health service and I had no intention of returning to the subject but the closing of A & E services in Navan Hospital has tempted me to revisit this subject. Have the HSE learned nothing from previous mistakes?. They downgraded many hospitals all over the country, closing services that are now denied to many people because they do not have the capacity to deal with the demand. There is no point in saying that people will be cared for in Drogheda and elsewhere because they cannot cope with the numbers they are receiving already. Surely it would be better to upgrade the A&E facilities in hospitals like Navan thereby taking the pressure off the “centres of excellence” rather than making a bad situation worse. Wouldn’t it be great if Nenagh and Tipperary hospitals had been upgraded instead of downgraded and would now be in a position to take the pressure of the hospital in Limerick. We have the same kind of thinking with regard to housing. The powers that be don’t want us building one off houses in the countryside, instead they want us all to live in towns where it would be easier to provide services. That policy has resulted in massive rises in house prices in these locations making it almost impossible for ordinary people to own their own homes. Fresh thinking and common sense badly needed.
The recent decision in the US to reverse the Roe v Wade case thereby taking away the right to abortion has serious consequences. The highest court in the land has rescinded a decision made by that body fifty years ago. Can laws be changed just like that just because the current members of the court were put there because of their conservative leanings. Justice is surely supposed to be impartial and those who administer it should never let their personal feelings interfere with their duty to the people. I am not going to get into the rights and wrongs of abortion, there are many on both sides with genuine feelings and misgivings but I think this decision opens the door to further reversals of former rulings. It may soon be back to the dark days when it was illegal to practice homosexuality and gay marriage would be unthinkable and what about birth control? If these powerful people get their way women will have less rights than their sisters in the most radical of Islamic states. Many of the southern states are rejoicing at the result but then aren’t they the very states who fought a civil war to protect their right to own slaves? The appointment of judges should have nothing to do with political parties but unfortunately it does. That is why Donald Trump rushed through his conservative appointees just before he left office. It is just another chapter in the story of the damage he has done to what used to be a beacon of hope for the world. I fear for the future unless some middle ground is reached.

A Connecticut historianCatalogue of the Names of the Early Puritan Settlers of the Colony of
Connecticut, compiled by Royal A. Hinman, Hartford, Conn., 1852.27 mentions Cornelius Connor and links him with one Philip Connor, an emigrant from Ireland to Virginia in 1634, who became a man of great prominence in Kent County, Maryland, and according to some genealogical data furnished to me by one of Philip Connors descendants,Mr. Philip S. P. Conner, late of Rowlandsville, Md., son of Commodore
Conner, commander of the American fleet at the siege of Vera Cruz in the war with Mexico.28 Philip Connor was of the OConnors of Ardee Castle, County Kerry, Ireland. Jeremy Connor appears in
Exeter town records on October 10, 1664, and probably received a grant of land on that date, although he was not so recorded until January 31, 1681. Three of the sons of Cornelius Con-
[p.94]
nor of Salisbury also located at Exeter and one of them, Cor-
nelius, received grants of land there in 1700 and 1702.
Jeremiah Connor and Anne Gove were married at Exeter on
July 3, 1696, and had four sons: Jeremiah, Jonathan, Philip
and Samuel, and two daughters, Anne and Hannah, all born
at Exeter between 1697 and 1709. The marriages of their four
sons are also recorded; they were the fathers of twenty-eight
children; and, as we are informed by the town historian, the
family has produced in several generations men of prom-
inence.Bells History of Exeter.29 In New Hampshire records twenty-nine Connors
are listed among those who received grants of land, or whose
names appear in the State Papers, at various times in the
eighteenth century, and to the present day this family, which
undoubtedly sprang from the Irish OConnors, is well repre-
sented in New England. In this connection, it is of interest to
note that another large family of New Hampshire Conners
are descended from one David OConnor, who with two
brothers came from Ireland about the middle of the eight-

NORA KELLY
The untimely death of Nora Kelly nee Kennelly occurred in Nenagh General Hospital on April 26th 05. Her husband Liam, the Kelly and Kennelly family maintained a 24-hour vigil at her bedside. In the beginning hopes were high of her recovery but the end came suddenly. Nora was active and full of life prior to her admission to hospital. Nora was the youngest of a family of 11 children born to Patrick Kennelly and Mary Daly of Gortdromagowna Moyvane.
Nora was a former student of the Presentation Convent Listowel. Nora went on to further her education in Tralee Dublin and London. She was a fluent French speaker. A month before her death she was successful in an interview for Assistant Principle in the Civil Service. Her work colleagues held Nora in very high esteem. This was very evident by their presence both at the Church and the funeral home.
There were many facets to Nora's life- her love for Liam, her family, friends, GAA and life in general.
Nora and Liam got married in Knockanure Church only 14 years ago Nora was proud of her roots and during her wedding speech she said ‘Kelly was a shorter version of Kennelly'.
She was a loving caring wife, and a soul mate to Liam. Their quality time was spent travelling both in Ireland and abroad; some of the countries they visited were Croatia, Medugorje France, and Monacco. Nora and Liam visited their family in America and Canada also.
Nora and Liam gave a summer holiday to two Chernobyl children; she introduced them to the community in Nenagh and her family in Knockanure and gave them an opportunity to see the beauty of Ireland.
Nora was and will continue to be an inspiration to us all. Her legacy and memory will remain in the heart of Liam and her family whose lives she touched in an unforgettable way Nora loved reminiscing of times past with her family and always dwelled on the positive side of life, she lived for the day. It is this, which will keep her memory fresh long after her death. Nora took 6 weeks leave of absence to return home to care for her father who needed constant care before he passed away on February 17th last. Nora had a special bond with her father been the youngest and she treasured the opportunity of caring for him. Nora was versatile like her father, who was attending night classes and carving marvellous pieces of bog oak up to his 89th year.
Nora was a great communicator and a good listener. Her wonderful warmth was evident to all who met her. Nora was a beautiful lady with a smile so radiant in love to each of us.
She was one of the most down to earth fun loving and genuine people one could hope to meet. Nora had a great interest and respect for people. She was approachable, hospitable, and loyal and had a kindly word for all. She had a natural ability to get on with all age groups, she took delight in being with people, she loved the ‘bit of crack' and when she was in a group the crack was mighty' Her contribution to any gathering was significant. Her humour and warm personality won her many friends who will miss her greatly.
Nora's personality has revealed itself through her passion for sport. She spent many happy hours watching and attending Gaelic games. She was ardent supporter of her favourite team the Kingdom. Nora proudly wore the Jersey and the Cap; the Flag was proudly displayed in her car. Nora had a great love for musicals, drama, dancing, walks in the countryside and mountain climbing in her travels both in Ireland and abroad.
Her profound love and appreciation of life in all its forms was evident, by her love of flowers, trees, and shrubs. In May of last year she was up at 04.30 and joined a local group to hear the dawn chorus. Nora lived her life to the full.
She was deeply religious and was an active member of the parish in Puckane community.
Nora had the special gift of reflection and prayer, - each morning she prayed for every member of her family and Liam's family and for special members of the community who were sick.
Nora you will forever sit on our shoulder and guide us in our daily lives. You will remain in our hearts, we will always miss you, and we have so much to be proud and thankful for. May God hold you and love you until we all meet again. Fill the lonesome spots in our hearts with your love, as you did so many times while you were here on earth.
Nora is survived by her husband Liam, her sisters, Mary Rose, Rita, Eileen and Joan, brothers Jer, John, Mort, Pat, Tom and Stan, aunts Peg, Noreen Joan and Mary in England, sister in- laws and brother in -laws, her nephews, nieces, father and mother in law, Liam and Ann.
Requiem Mass for Nora Kelly was celebrated at Puckane Church, Nenagh on Friday April 29th by Fr Slattery PP Puckane among the con celebrants were Fr Lucid PP Moyvane, Fr Tommy O Hanlon cousin, Fr Walsh, Cannon Horgan, Fr Burke, Fr Whelan and Fr Cullen. Mourners came from all parts of Ireland and abroad to pay their last respects.
A guard of honour was provided by her work colleagues from the civil service and the GAA.
The local choir sang the hymns, the community provided refreshments for the large numbers who attended the removal. The funeral cortege took the coast Road and Nora was laid to rest in Knockanure, Old Churchyard. If only Nora could see the beautiful ever-changing views on that day.
May God have mercy on her gentle soul.

Jan 5 -06 Notes
SCHOOLS: Because of the shortage of teaching posts several teachers set up their own Secondary Schools in the 1930's and ‘40's. Catholics Secondary Schools were set up in Abbeyfeale, Tarbert, Glin, Newcastlewest and Castleisland to name a few, the annual fee for a student was £9 to £12 per year. The Principal of Colaiste Mhuire which was established in 1937 in Abbeyfeale was Miss Catherine Woulfe, who studied under Dr. Douglas Hyde. This year it is 40 years since O Malley's free education bill.

World's top maths genius jobless and living with mother
By Nadejda Lobastova in St Petersburg and Michael Hirst
(Filed: 20/08/2006)
A maths genius who won fame last week for apparently spurning a million-dollar prize is living with his mother in a humble flat in St Petersburg, co-existing on her £30-a-month pension, because he has been unemployed since December.
Grigory 'Grisha' Perelman
The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the eccentric recluse who stunned the maths world when he solved a century-old puzzle known as the Poincaré Conjecture.
Grigory "Grisha" Perelman's predicament stems from an acrimonious split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re-elect him as a member, Dr Perelman, 40, was left feeling an "absolutely ungifted and untalented person", said a friend. He had a crisis of confidence and cut himself off.
Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to this week's International Mathematical Union's congress in Madrid, where his peers want him to receive the maths equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and that he is too modest to ask anyone to underwrite his trip.
Interviewed in St Petersburg last week, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and was uninterested in his windfall. "I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest," he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide. There are no top-secret projects going on here. I just believe the public has no interest in me."
He continued: "I know that self-promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck to them, but I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realised this a long time ago and nobody is going to change my mind. "Newspapers should be more discerning over who they write about. They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can't offer anything for their readers.
"I don't base that on any negative experiences with the press, although they have been making up nonsense about my father being a famous physicist. It's just plain and simply that I don't care what anybody writes about me at all."
Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently reluctant to supplement them with the $1 million (£531,000) offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for solving one of the world's seven "Millennium Problems".
Grigory as a student
The Poincaré Conjecture was first posed by the French mathematician, Jules Henri Poincaré, in 1904, and seeks to understand the shape of the universe by linking shapes, spaces and surfaces.
Friends say that evidence of Dr Perelman's innate modesty came when - having finally solved the problem after more than 10 years' work - he simply posted his conclusion on the internet, rather than publishing his explanation in a recognised journal. "If anybody is interested in my way of solving the problem, it's all there - let them go and read about it," said Dr Perelman. "I have published all my calculations. This is what I can offer the public."
Friends were not surprised to learn that he was living with his mother. The Jewish family - he has a younger sister, Elena, also a mathematician - was always close. One friend, Sergey Rukshin, head of St Petersburg Mathematical Centre for Gifted Students, gave Dr Perelman his first break as a teenager.
At 16, he won a gold medal at the 1982 International Mathematical Olympiad, with a perfect score of 42. He was also a talented violinist and played table tennis. It was after gaining his PhD from St Petersburg State University that Dr Perelman first worked at the Steklov Institute, part of the Russian Academy of Science. Later, he worked in America before returning to the Steklov in 1996. Its rejection of him, three years ago, devastated Dr Perelman, said Mr Rukshin.
Although the two old friends still discuss life, music and literature, they no longer talk about maths. "It has become a painful topic for the doctor," said Mr Rukshin

Abbey Guest Book
HomecomingJanuary 20, 2011
Hi Everyone!
My name is Lauren Fealey and I’m from New York, but I am currently spending a semester studying in Spain. My grandfather and I always talked about visiting Abbeyfeale and the places where his mother grew up, but unfortunately he passed away before we could do so together. Now that I am in Europe, I am trying to complete that dream and visit the town where my family is from.
I was hoping to get some travel information and to figure out the best way to get to Abbeyfeale. I will be in Dublin on the 17th March and hope to travel on the 19th. I know there is a bus to Limerick but am not sure how to go from there. Any information would be useful and much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Lauren Fealey
Across the miles with Fr. Bill LaneDecember 29, 2010
My daughter, Kristi, and myself visited Fr. Bill Lane, brother of Abbeyfeale’s Jim Lane, in Federal Way, Washington on December 19th at his retirement home. He was in great form and we both admired a Christmas Card with a statue of Fr. Casey in the town square. It was great to speak of our family connections that cover Canada, USA and Ireland. At the leaving he extended a blessing for a safe drive home and for his family and friends.
Kirby FamilyDecember 26, 2010
My great-grandfather is Timothy Lyons Kirby and was born in 1875 to Michael Kirby and Margaret Lyons in Ireland, I believe County Kerry. He married my great-grandmother, Margaret T. Cleary who was born in Ireland, in Buffalo, NY abt 1910-1911. He had a brother Patrick b. 1880 according to the 1910 Census of Buffalo, NY, but is listed as Daniel in my great-grandfather’s death notice. Both Patrick and Timothy came to the U.S. from Ireland in 1903. He had a sister Nellie Kirby born in Ireland about 1895 that was the wife of Cornelius Reilly and at the time of my great-grandfather’s death in 1939 lived in Michigan. There is also another sister Mary Kirby who was born in Ireland abt 1878 and married a Charles Lewis and and at the time of my great-grandfather’s death in 1939 lived in Michigan.

I’m seeking info on family friend Jim Furlong.

Hannah Flaherty (Joan)August 3, 2010
My mother (Hannah) was born in Abbeyfeale. She moved to Stockport, UK. My children ask me about their heritage and I realise how little I know. Her mother was Sarah (nee Gouran) and her grandfather Thade (Timothy) wrote ballads. When I was 6 I visited Abbeyfeale with her and stayed with some of her friends (Mary Jo Enright and Nora… I think). SHe had lovely friends too in Moynsha (Peg). Any info would be welcome… she spoke of her hometown often.. you were all well-loved by her.
I have been trying to get in touch with John Joe Foley. If he could contact me at the given email address I have news he would want to receive. Thanks for your assistance.
