FOREWORD
========

Hello again from Ireland where my musings on the 
good weather in June had the inevitable result. 
Rain. The economic woes of the country are still 
the subject of the moment but with the US 
seemingly emerging from the recession it is hoped 
that 2010 will be a better year all round.

Thanks again to our contributors for their 
articles and stories - why dont YOU send in a 
story, poem or biography of an Irish figure!

Until next month

Michael

NEWS SNAPS FROM IRELAND
=======================

GOVERNMENT TO SET UP A BANK FOR TOXIC DEBTS

In a high risk strategy the Irish government is to 
establish a bank to assume responsibility for the 
billions of euro in toxic loans currently on the 
books of the main Irish banks. The National Assets 
Management Agency (NAMA) will buy the dodgy loans 
at a big discount and, should it lose out in the 
long run, seek to recover its losses from the 
banks in the future.

It is expected that the effective nationalisation 
of the toxic property debts will make the Irish 
government the single biggest property owner in 
the world. The overall investment is expected to 
be it the region of 60 billion euro. The current 
national debt is expected to be 70 billion euro 
by years end so it is clear that nearly doubling 
the national debt is a very risky strategy. 
Credit rating agencies are likely to be 
unimpressed with the plan and will probably
further downgrade Ireland's credit worthiness, 
making it harder and more expensive for the Irish 
government to borrow.

HOUSE PRICES CONTINUE TO FALL

The latest permanent TSB/ESRI survey has shown a 
further decline in the value of property in 
Ireland. The average price of a house is now 
241,000 euro which is a 22% decline when compared 
to the February 2007 peak of 311,000 euro. Prices 
have fallen by 8% in the first half of 2009 and 
although the rate of decline has stabilised 
somewhat property market observers still maintain 
that there is some way to go before the bottom is 
reached.

MORE TAXATION ON THE WAY

The much anticipated report of the Commission on 
Taxation is to be published within weeks and is 
likely to add further to the taxation burden being 
faced by Irish households. High on the list is 
expected to be some manner of carbon tax, followed 
by a property tax and a likely water charge. 
Currently Irish households do no pay for the water 
they use but those days seem to be numbered. A 
property tax of up to 1000 euro per property per 
year is also on the cards which is very bad news 
for owners of multiple properties or holiday homes. 
The carbon tax is likely to significantly increase 
the cost of petrol and gas and is being pursued by 
the Green Party as a condition of their staying in 
coalition government with Fianna Fail.

IRISH POLICE TO BE ISSUED WITH PEPPER SPRAY

Gardai are to be issued with pepper spray 
cannisters with training in the use of the 
deterrent weapon already underway. The number of 
assaults on Gardai has more than doubled in the 
last 3 years but it is hoped that the provision of 
the pepper spray will reduce the number of assaults, 
as it has done in other countries.

IRELAND TO TAKE 2 GUANTANAMO DETAINEES

Two men from Uzbekistan are to be housed in 
Ireland as part of an agreement with the US 
governments plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison.

SPIKE ISLAND TO BE OPENED AS THE IRISH ALCATRAZ

The ancient prison on Spike Island in Cork 
harbour is to be re-opened as a tourist 
attraction in a development similar to that 
achieved with the notorious Alcatraz prison in 
San Francisco. The prison housed 2000 inmates in 
the 1850s and catered for over 100 at the time 
of the infamous riot in 1985 when prisoners 
briefly took control. It has been closed since 
2004 but now looks set to get a new lease of 
life as a visitor centre.

Anne MacDonald ordered a family crest plaque:

 Hello, Michael,

 Received my plaque, carefully wrapped, 
 in good order. It is splendid! I am 
 thrilled, and I know that my dad, for whose 
 81st birthday this was ordered, will love 
 it. I would like to order another one! 

 Everyone who has seen the plaque has been 
 really impressed, even those who, as my 
 daughter says are 'not into ancestor 
 worship!'

 Again, my hearty thanks for this 
 first-class product.

 Best wishes for happy holiday season.

 Sincerely, Anne MacDonald

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL - AN IRISH HERO
=======================================

The Great Famine of 1845 to 1849 left over 1 
million dead with a further 1 million emigrating 
over the following 10 years. One of the effects 
of the disaster was to demonstrate to ordinary 
Irish people that the English Government had 
failed them in their time of need and that they 
must seize control of their own destiny. 

Out of the Famine grew several revolutionary 
movements which culminated in the 1916 Easter 
Rising. In the second half of the nineteenth 
century the main concern of the Irish people was 
their land and the fact that they had no control 
whatsoever over it ownership. 

Charles Stewart Parnell was the son of a 
Protestant landowner who organised the rural 
masses into agitation against the ruling Landlord 
class to seek the 3 Fs: Fixity of Tenure, Freedom 
to Sell and Fair Rent. 

Violence flared in the countryside but Parnell 
preferred to use parliamentary means to achieve 
his objectives and the result was a series of 
Land Acts which greatly improved the conditions 
under which the Irish agricultural class toiled. 

Parnell's main ambition was Home Rule for Ireland 
(local Government) and he led the Irish Party, 
deposing Isaac Butt in the process to achieve this 
aim. He and colleagues such as Joseph Biggar made 
a science out of 'fillibustering' and delayed the 
English parliament by introducing amendments to 
every clause of every Bill and then discussing 
each aspect at length. His popularity in Ireland 
soared to great heights. 

Trouble loomed for Parnell however, in his private 
life. He had secretly courted a married woman, 
Kathleen O'Shea, the husband of whom filed for 
divorce, naming Parnell as the co-respondent. He 
tried to ignore the scandal and continued his 
public life. Public pressure in Ireland and from 
Gladstone in England eventually brought his 
downfall and he died shortly afterwards, in 1891. 
The Home Rule Bill that he had forced Gladstone 
into introducing was passed in the House of 
Commons, but was defeated in the House of Lords. 

In his last speech in Kilkenny in 1891 he said: 
'I don’t pretend that I had not moments of trial 
and of temptation, but I do claim that never in 
thought, word, or deed, have I been false to the 
trust which Irishmen have confided in me'. 

But perhaps he will be most remembered for the 
quotation that can be found on his statue at the 
junction of O'Connell Street and Parnell Street 
in Dublin City Centre: 

'No man shall have the right to fix the 
boundary to the march of a Nation'.

GREAT IRISH FAMILIES: MURPHY
============================

Murphy is by far the most frequently found 
surname of Irish origin with well over 50,000 
bearers of the name in Ireland alone. This name 
is derived from two distinct Gaelic septs. The 
first of these was O'Murchadha and the second was 
MacMurchadha. The name is taken from words that 
translate as 'sea warrior'. Murphy is only very 
occasionally rendered as O'Murphy or MacMurphy. 
Other variants of this widespread name include 
Murphey, Murfee, Morphy and O'Morchoe.

There were septs in Counties Tyrone and Sligo but 
by far the most important sept was located in 
Leinster Province, and especially in County 
Wexford. A sept is similar to a clan, and refers 
to a group of people who inhabited the same 
locality and who shared the same name. In modern 
times the name has become even more associated 
with the Munster Counties of Cork and Kerry than 
its originating County of Wexford. The Munster 
sept of Murphy is a branch of the Kinsellas who 
also hail from the Wexford Murphys. The northern 
Murphys are today most often found in Counties 
Tyrone and Armagh. 

It is impossible to discuss the origin of the 
Murphys without also mentioning the MacMurroughs. 
The most famous (or infamous) was Dermot 
MacMurrough who was partly responsible for the 
Strongbow Anglo-Norman invasion of 1170. Dermots 
grandfather was Murchadha whose original sept 
split into three branches giving the MacMurroughs, 
the Kinsellas and the Kavanaghs. His brothers are 
the origin of the O'Morchoes and MacDavie Mores, 
who changed their original names to Murphy and 
Davis respectively. All of these families are most 
associated with County Wexford.

The Wexford Murphys held territory in the barony 
of Ballaghkeen, formerly known as Hy Felimy from 
one of the sons of Eanna Cinnseallaigh, the 
fourth century ruler of Leinster. Their chief 
seats were located at Morriscastle, Toberlamina, 
Oulart and Oularteigh. The last chief to be 
elected by the ancient Gaelic method of tanistry 
was Murtagh who in the year 1461 adopted English 
law entitling him to leave his lands and property 
to his descendants. His ancestor Donal Mor 
O'Morchoe was overthrown at the end of the 
sixteenth century and his lands confiscated. The 
Murphys of Oularteigh retained their lands and 
remained there up to modern times. A Tipperary
branch of the Murphys had their land confiscated 
by Cromwell.

Famous Murphys throughout history include Domhnall 
Dall Ua Murchadha who was 'chief sage of Leinster' 
in the year 1127. Two Catholic priests were killed 
during the Wolfe Tone 1798 rebellion, they being 
Rev John Murphy (1753-1798) and Rev Michael 
Murphy (1767-1798). Sean O'Murchadha (1700-1770) 
was the last chief of the Blarney bards in Cork. 
Marie Louise O'Murphy (1737-1814) was a daughter 
of an Irish soldier at Rouen and became mistress 
to Louis XV. Patrick Murphy (1834-1862) was 
remarkable for his height of eight feet one inch. 
The Ladys Well brewery that produces Murphys Stout 
was founded in 1856 by James Murphy. William 
Martin Murphy (1844-1921) was the leader of the 
employers against the strikers in Dublin in 1913. 
Michael Murphy (cir 1837-1893 in County Tipperary) 
was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the 
highest British award for gallantry. Audie Murphy 
(1924-1971) was the recipient of America's 
highest award known as the Medal of Honor and 
remains one of the most decorated soldiers 
in US history.

Over the centuries the name Murphy has been 
spread by emigration to England, Australia, 
Canada, America and beyond with the influence 
of bearers of the name being found in every 
sphere of life.

REMEMBERING GLENN by Linda Marie Fratello
=========================================
 
Glenn Quinn (1970-2002) was an Irish actor 
well known for his role as Mark Healy in 
the hit US comedy 'Roseanne' and for staring 
in the first series of 'Angel'.

===
 
It was twenty years ago last year since you came 
to the U.S. From Cabinteely Ireland. A long and 
coal-black haired youth, with piercing blue eyes 
and porcelain-fair skin.

The charming, devilishly handsome middle child 
and sole son and brother to Sonya and Louise, with 
a mischievous hint in those lovely, alluring, 
piercing, ocean-blue eyes.

Charismatic and vulnerable, like a young Elvis or 
James Dean, you found your niche in Hollywood but 
NEVER forgot your proud Irish roots.

A gifted actor remembered as a pool shark for 
Richard Marx, dim-witted son-in-law, medieval 
warrior, demon do-gooder investigator, and victim 
of Hollywood's graphic-horror's hell.

Yet in the midst of fame's fantasy, the demon 
despair gained the upper hand. In the last, 
painful years, I am struck by the haunting 
photographs of your absorbing, dimpled smile now 
replaced by a faraway, lost vacant stare and a 
weary sadness in your lovely, sparkless eyes - or 
a rare frown at the unwelcome camera-intruder as 
the burden of your many secrets began their fatal 
toll.

Still - O, Glenn! we were stunned at your sudden 
passing, taken totally unawares! A bright star 
dimmed too soon - the family's inconsolable keen 
could not be stilled!

Beloved for eternity, by family and friends, and 
fans throughout the world-more than you know!
Recorded in your online guest book are the 
precious tributes of countless souls you have 
touched in your brief but memorable life.

We are comforted in your God-given peaceful 
sleep, your soul is at rest forever. Alive in 
heaven, remembered in daily and yearly masses 
and prayers.

Suaimhneas Siorai 
Glenn Martin Christopher Francis Quinn!

HONEYMOON IN IRELAND by Michael Ryan
====================================

When we got married in 1984 we agreed that Ireland 
would be great for a honeymoon (we did not know of 
the origin of the word from the honey mead of 
Ireland). I had a mailing address and I wrote and 
stated that we would be coming over sometime in 
June and asked if I could stop by and perhaps take 
a photo of the family I had never met. We were 
able to get directions to the farm just outside 
of Tuam, County Galway. I suggested to my wife, 
Kathleen that she might want to stay in the car 
until I made sure we were at the right place. I 
knocked on the door and a man about five foot 
seven inches and about 12 stone answered the door. 
He put his hand out to me and I shook his hand. He 
drew me into him and put his arms around me, 
hugging me and said, Ye need not say a word. I 
know ye are me Ryan. I could feel his tears on the 
side of my face. He then put me back at arms
length with his hands still on my shoulders - he 
had tears freely flowing down his cheeks. He then 
said to me, 'in me front and out the back'. I
thought that I had just been told to leave - what 
did I know? The he called for his wife and he 
asked if the ginger haired woman in the 'care' was 
me wife and I said yes. He walked toward the car 
and waved to her beckoning her to come out. She 
exited and he immediately hugged her and kissed 
her on both cheeks.  Then he was saying to her 
'Welcome, welcome. Ah Jaysus you are a lovely 
woman now aren't ye!' He called again for his 
wife and Bridie came into the doorway wearing 
her apron and fussing with her hair. He said to 
her 'Look at them now Bridie - proper Yanks they 
are. And our family from Amerikay. Come in, come 
in.' Bridie turned to Kathleen and said, 'Ah mind 
your man around Angie - she loves the beard you 
know.' At this point I am thinking that maybe my
Irish family is a bit 'touched'. I found out later 
that 'in me front and out the back' is the Irish 
way of saying 'mi casa su casa' or 'you have the
run of my house'. The bit about the beard was 
still a bit puzzling. So John Joe Ryan asked if I 
would care for a wee bit of drink and of course
I didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying no! 
So the bottle of Powers comes off the shelf and two 
glasses are put on the table and about 3 inches of 
whiskey was poured into the two of them. Then he 
said to me 'Ah being the proper Yank I would think 
ye would want some soda with that.' My answer was 
'What and ruin that fine uisce beatha.' John Joe's
eyes widened and the smile spread from ear to ear 
and then I said, 'A wee drop of the holy water if 
you don't mind.' He was calling to his wife again 
'Bridie, do ye hear the Yank? Speaking the language 
like he was born in the back.' 

What a truly fantastic first 5 minutes spent with
these total strangers! I found out that Angie is 
the wife of John Joe's son, Peter (that would make 
him my second cousin). Angie had won the title of 
Miss Galway in a beauty pageant in her younger 
years. And when I first got to meet her husband, 
my cousin Peter, it was a bit unsettling. We could 
easily pass as brothers, the resemblance was so
acute! And when I met Angie all I could do was 
smile and stroke my beard! She is a drop dead 
knock out! My cousin is a lucky man. Then it all 
made sense what Bridie had said about Kathleen 
minding me because of the beard. I knew that these 
were family members that I would love and cherish. 
And thanks be to God I was able to do just that 
until 1995 when both Bridie and then John Joe 
passed on. We had made several trips to Ireland 
and were able to meet all of the kids of John Joe
and Bridie, Jerry, Mary, Peter, Theresa and Sarah 
and their spouses. I spoke so much and highly of 
my Irish family that my wife's aunt and cousin 
made a trip with us to Ireland, just to prove 
that I was lying. And now didn't they cry like 
babies where it was time for us to leave and come 
back to the States! 

It has been 14 years since they made that trip 
with us, and they still tell stories about 'Mike's 
family back home.' We all got together and went to 
the Shamrock Pub in Tuam for a night out. It was 
about 10 of my family and Kathleen and I. When we 
went in I was told that there was no fun in the 
pub this night. I turned to John Joe and told him 
'Ah but there are the Ryans here and sure there 
will be fun in the pub this night!' There was a 
trio of musicians and the first number they played 
was a reel and Kathleen and I did the House Around 
from the Clare set. And they played for over 5 
minutes. I finally gave them the sign to stop and
after they motioned for me to approach their small 
stage and the leader asked me what team did we
 dance with and I told him we weren't good enough 
to dance with any team. He then yelled out 'Aren't 
all ye Paddy's proud of ye selves tonight. It takes 
a Yank to show ye the dance.' We had been the only 
people on the dance floor. I thought to myself 
'Oh good, now all these people are ready to kick my 
arse.' But that was the start of a brilliant night 
with my new found family. We danced and sang and
drank and by Jaysus THERE WAS LIFE IN THE PUB THAT 
NIGHT!  That was our first night in Tuam (of course 
we had to stay at the farm that night) and one of 
the best memories a man and his wife could have 
from their honeymoon.

WOOLLEN MILLS FIRE by Pat Watson
================================
           
When I awoke in the middle of the night the light 
was jumping on the walls. I jumped out of bed. 
Mammy was missing from her bed. I ran down to the 
kitchen where I met Delia who had come back for me.
'The war has started,' she said 
'And the town is on fire. Put on your boots and 
coat and come out to look.' I got  dressed and we 
were on our way in an instant. The rest of the 
family were all up on the hill looking at the fire 
in town. That's the lights I saw jumping on the 
walls.
'Bring the child here to me' Mammy said, as she 
put her arm round me. The seven of us were all 
close together, watching and praying for the 
people in the town.
'The aeroplanes must be very high up as we cannot 
hear them' Mammy said. 
'But I suppose they're gone now that the damage 
is done.' After a while Peter came back from 
Lennon's shop where he had gone for news of how 
things were in town. 
'It's not the Germans at all,' he said, 
'It's the woollen mills that's on fire and they 
say it will burn the whole town.' 
'Have they no way to quench it?'
'Only buckets of water from the river Shannon. 
The army is helping the town's people but they 
haven't got enough buckets. They're using every 
vessel in the town.' 
'See there, the fire is the far side of the new 
church.' We could see that he was right. 
'Thanks be to God it's not the war,' Mammy said. 
Just then we heard the bombs.
'Oh glory be to God it is the war, don't you hear 
the bombs, why can't we see the aeroplanes? They 
must be too high up - you couldn't be up to the 
Germans. What will happen now? Will there be 
conscription? They will have to leave some men to 
work the land. Sure Germany will overrun the 
country in a few days anyway. What will happen 
then?' 
'The man on the bike that cycled from town must 
be mistaken' said Peter. 
'I suppose they bombed the woollen mills because 
they were sending woollens to England for the 
army. What will we do with the wool now?
'It's a wonder they didn't bomb the new church,' 
said Mammy. 
'No they're keeping that as a marker for the 
army barracks.'
'Why didn't they bomb the barracks now?'
'Maybe they think the Irish army will join them 
against England.'
'They wouldn't, would they?'
'You'd never know; it might be the safest thing 
to do. Germany ran through Poland and the other 
countries without any bother. It's not two years 
yet since the war started and they're here, it's 
probably no use fighting them. We have no tanks 
or aeroplanes. I'll go back to Lennon's to see 
if there is more news'
When he was gone we started the rosary. Although 
there were no more bombs the fire burned as bright 
as ever with the flames going as high at the twin 
steeples of the new church. After a long time 
Peter returned with the news that it was not the 
Germans at all, only a fire in the woollen mills. 
'But we heard the bombs' said Mammy. 
'The Irish army had to blow up all the buildings 
round the mill in order to stop the fire. Luckily 
nobody was killed or injured. Everybody in the 
town is in there now throwing water on the rubble 
to stop the fire.' 
'Thank God it's not the war but with the mills 
gone, where will all the people work?' 
'If they go to England they will have to go to 
the war or down the mines.'
'Sure they might build the mills again.'
'That will take years. What will they do in the 
meantime?'
' I suppose some might get jobs building it.' 
'We can only pray for them.'  
This we did as the fire continued and then went 
back to bed.
