Plans for Sacred Heart church were drawn up by Fr Thomas Bachmair (Pallottine Order) some time prior to 1908. At that time the construction was beyond the means of the Beagle Bay Mission Community.
Work finally began on the church in 1915 during a time when the German Pallottine priests and brothers were confined to Beagle Bay Mission due to war-time restrictions on their movements.
Mary Durack, a Kimberley pioneer and writer, describes the scene at Beagle Bay:
The design, a combined effort that was finally passed as practical, was shown to the mission people as something that was to belong to them and of which they could be proud. Perhaps to please the missionaries in their time of trial they began the task with at least a show of interest but, as the building took shape, they worked with genuine enthusiasm and unprecedented constancy. Day after day parties set off into the bush or to the coast to cut timber, cart sand, dig clay and gather tons of broken shells for lime. As the timber structure mounted, 60,000 double clay bricks were shaped and baked in stone kilns and thousands of live shells, mother of pearl and many other varieties from small cockles, cones and trochus to giant clams and bailers for holy water fonts were gathered in from a wide range of coastal waters and tidal reefs. (The Rock and the Sand. London, Constable, 1969. Page198)
The interior of the church is decorated with shells, including mother of pearl, cowries, volutes and olives. While the mother of pearl has been used to decorate the main altar, the side altars are inlaid with opercula, a rare stone taken from shellfish. Some of the decoration formed the tribal symbols of the Njul Njul, the Nimanborr and the Bard people of the area while others formed the lamb, the fish and shepherd’s crook of the Christian faith.
On 15 August 1918, on the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, the Sacred Heart Church was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr Creagh, the Apostolic Administrator of the Kimberley Vicariate.

North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) (free event), www.northatlanticfiddle.com/.
Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional Irish Folk (Sliabh Luachra).
Lineup: Matt Cranitch (fiddle), Caoimhe Flannery (fiddle).
Matt Cranitch and Caoimhe Flannery played the music of the Sliabh Luachra area. Cranitch was born in Cork and raised in Rathduff, Co. Cork. He was a member of Na Fili in the 1970s. I have seen him before solo (2005), with Sliabh Notes (2005 and 2008), in a duo with Johnny McCarthy (2005) and in a duo with Seamus Creagh which was joined by Jerry Holland (2006). The last at a previous NAFCo (and most of the others at a Cork Folk Festival). 17 year old Flannery from Rockchapel in North Cork is a student of Cranitch. She was All-Ireland U15 fiddle champion and in 2017 won the Fiddler of Dooney junior (U18) competition. I saw this duo twice during the festival - at St Andrew's Cathedral and the Lemon Tree.

Now this is more like it - real climbing! (Though some would argue actual mountain climbing is the only real climbing and everything else just training for such grander goals). This is one of my favourite routes at Bothán, Gap of Dunloe.
Pery Square is a Georgian Terrace located in the Newtown Pery area of Limerick city, Ireland. The terrace was constructed as a speculative development by the Pery Square Tontine Company between 1835 and 1838. The square was named in honour of the politician Edmund Sexton Perry. The architect James Pain supervised the construction of the terrace and may well have been responsible for the design. The contractor was Pierse Creagh, Ennis. By 1838, the houses forming this terrace were let to tenants. The terrace is one of the finest examples of late Georgian architecture in Limerick and Ireland.
The tontine development was the only area of square that was finished. The remaining plots (around the planned square) which were earmarked for development in Davis Ducart's plan for Newtown Pery were never realised and were left undeveloped.
Beside Pery Square is the People's Park which is a favourite of mine.

Three pictures of the railway crossing keeper's cottage at Creagh in West Cork before my parents did it up for their retirement. This being rural Ireland you won't be surprised to learn that seven people lived in this three room house at one point. My Dad wrote some words about the railway line for my kids.

Last Saturday, a Church of Ireland parish launched an exciting new initiative to tackle the crisis of climate change. As part of the bicentenary celebrations of Holy Trinity Church, plans were announced for a new Climate Action Woodland, to be developed on a picturesque site in the historic village of Aughrim.
The very first tree of the new Climate Action Woodland was planted in memory of the late Michael Hyde, by members of his family. It was part of an inter–church ceremony led by the bishop of Limerick and Killaloe, the Right Reverend Kenneth Kearon, alongside Fr Gerard Geraghty, Archdeacon Wayne Carney, the Reverend Patrick Towers, and the Reverend John Godfrey, rector of the Aughrim and Creagh parish unions.
“We feel that we can’t just sit back and ignore the crisis of climate change any longer. If we are to look our children and grandchildren in the eye, then we as a church urgently need to take a lead on climate action in our own community,” said Mr Godfrey. “This Climate Action Woodland will help to take carbon out of the atmosphere and protect biodiversity. But even more importantly, as people use it, it could inspire them to make brave changes in their own lifestyles. This is a symbol of hope, that if we act together now, we can stop climate change spiralling out of control.”
Whilst enabling people to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, the new woodland walk will also encourage them to reconnect with the ruins of an ancient abbey on those grounds. “This is the site of our shared Christian heritage,” explained the rector, “so coming back here, to walk or sit, is a way of reconnecting with the rhythms of reflection which helped to nurture Christianity in this place, right back to the time of Saint Patrick.”
In celebration of this historic moment, the ecumenical service and tree–planting ceremonies were rounded off with a garden party in the beautiful grounds of the Aughrim rectory, accompanied by with music from the Ballinasloe Town Band.
On the summit of a steep-sided EW ridge in an area of forest and scrub, to SE of Ardamullivan Lough stands Ardamullivan Castle, a restored six-storey rectangular tower house, it was built in two phases. the 6th storey was added at a leter date. All the windows in primary phase are flat-headed single lights, those of second phase are mainly ogee-headed and include a number of twin lights. Directly outside original doorway of castle are the fragmentary remains of another abutting building that contains two fireplaces.Although there is no history of the exact date of when the castle was built, it is believed it was built in the 16th century as it was first mentioned in 1567 due to the death of Sir Roger O’Shaughnessey who held the castle at the time.
Sir Roger was succeeded by his brother Dermot, ‘the Swarthy’, known as ‘the Queen’s O’Shaughnessy’ due to his support shown to the Crown. Dermot became very unpopular among the public and even among his own family after he betrayed Dr Creagh, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, who had sought refuge in the woods on O’Shaughnessy territory. Tensions came to a boil in 1579, when John, the nephew of Dermot, fought with Dermot outside the south gate of the castle in dispute over possession of the castle. Both men were killed in the fight. After this period the castle fell into ruin until the last century where it was restored to it’s former glory.
