Coffee Day for Hospice Nano Nagle Parents’ Association AGM Trip to Cape Clear Island On Saturday, on a historical/archaeological tour led by Chuck Kruger, an American writer and broadcaster who has lived on the island for sixteen years and who fashions many of his stories on the lives of the islanders, showed the group the location of the first Christian church on the island built by St. Kieran and supposed by many historical commentators to be the location of the very first Church in the whole country. Through a deepening mist he brought the group to the two famous megalithic standing stones known as the 'marriage stones', one of only three that have survived in the country as a whole; their initial significance is now no longer known but in folklore it is now said that should the hand of one person reach though the hole and be grasped by their partner, their romantic relationship will remain steadfast. Another standing stone and what was once a burial chamber were also visited. On the Sunday, Mr Liam Burke, a naturalist from Clerihan led the group to a pre-breakfast bird watching expedition and then, after that all-important meal, on to Lake Ioral and the seashore for a general commentary on the flora and fauna of the area. Some people saw the female Redstart, an uncommon but regular migrant to our shores and one claimed a glimpse of a greenish Warbler but who knows. By coincidence, on this weekend there was a whale watching course taking place on the island and some participants have been regularly whale watching from the headland near Ardmore, Co. Waterford. The return boat trip to Baltimore was a delightful voyage with brilliant views of Sherkin Island and the coastline. And, as was said in essays of long ago, we returned home tired but happy.

Civil Defence Classes New Retail Outlet in Kerry Street The Coronation of Queen Victoria 1838 “Every demonstration of joy which a small town could show was exhibited here on Thursday. In the morning the sweet-toned church bells commenced ringing merry peals; about 12 o'clock the depot of the 58th, under-command of Capt. Collins, paraded in the street and fired a Feu-de-joie, and at night every house in the town was illuminated. The officers of the 58th had the Barracks brilliantly lit, the fine front of which appeared to great advantage. The house of the Rev. Archdeacon Laffan was also conspicuous, the beautiful-veranda in front was tastefully lit up; and although the streets were greatly crowded during the night, not the slightest disturbance or annoyance took place.” The coronation of Queen Victoria was the beginning of a new era. As an inexperienced girl of eighteen, Victoria had assumed the responsibility for an institution that seemed to have outlived its purpose. She dedicated her long and productive reign of almost sixty-four years to transforming the monarchy into the positive force that held the diverse British Empire together. When Queen Victoria, crippled by old age, died in January, 1901, there was a true sense of loss among her subjects, a realization that an era had ended and the future was uncertain. This feeling of uncertainty was almost universal felt throughout the English-speaking world.
