[UlsterAncestry] The Donegal Annual (2021, no. 73)

2021-10-15 Thread Teena
To mark the 1,500th anniversary of the birth of Colmcille, County
Donegal Historical Society has published a special edition of Donegal
Annual 2021, no. 73.

It is a celebration of one of Ireland’s greatest saints, a man of
Donegal birth who became an international icon. Contributors include
local authors and established historians from home and abroad.

How has the Columban tradition fared over the centuries since his
death? The Vikings had little respect for his achievements as revealed
in an engaging article by Darren McGettigan.

By the seventeenth century, his reputation was enhanced when the
Church of Ireland named its new cathedral in Derry in his honour as
evidenced by William Roulston from the Ulster Historical Foundation.

By the nineteenth century, Colmcille was perceived as a man of
significant stature, especially in his native County, and this is the
subject of an article by Nollaig MacCongáil, a former Registrar and
Vice-President of University College, Galway.

Decade of Centenaries

As part of the Decade of Centenaries, there is also an interesting
section on the War of Independence in Donegal.

Seán Boner has carried out extensive research in south-west Donegal on
this period.

There are also some new insights on the war in Inishowen, revealed
here for the first time, in the previously unpublished papers of the
Lanigan family of Carndonagh; three Lanigan brothers were jailed in
1921, according to the owner of the newly-discovered archive, John
Reynolds.

With dozens of maps, illustrations, photos, book reviews and charts,
the Donegal Annual is strongly recommended reading for everyone who is
interested in Colmcille and the War of Independence.

Among the regular features is a bibliography of recently-published
books relating to Donegal; Rory Gallagher has compiled this section
with assistance from the library staff of Donegal County Council,
including Una Matthewson and Frances Crampsie.It is encouraging to see
much material being published despite the lockdown.

The Donegal Annual is a veritable treasure house of literary and
historical riches and will be in great demand. Copies are on sale in
local shops or you can have postal delivery by contacting the
Secretary, Mrs Una McGarrigle at unamcgarri...@hotmail.com

her. He commenced to walk backward and forward and threatened her and
spit at her. Defendant - Did I speak to you at all ?
Witness  - You did.
His Worship - Have you any witnesses
Witness - I have Pat TONER.
Pat TONER did not answer his name.
Michael M'TEAGUE, husband of complainant, wanted to address the court,
His Worship - l cannot hear you.

Thomas DARRAGH deposed that Mary M'TEAGUE, on the date mentioned, ran
before him on the street and tried to gather a crowd. This was in
Draperstown and it was the market day. She used language which he
would not like to repeat. Margaret KELLY had been summoned witness in
this case, but she did not put in appearance.
His Worship said Mrs McTEAGUE was evidently walking in the footsteps

peace. He would dismiss both summonses, but he advised the parties to
be of good behaviour in the future. (Tyrone Courier)
