Schools' Essays Lackagh Parish 1938
In 1937, the Department of Folklore in conjunction with the Department of Education and the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation initiated a programme to preserve the folklore, tales, superstitions, and customs of the 26-counties. Each Principal teacher of the country’s 5,000 schools was requested to ask his sixth and seventh class pupils to discuss suitable topics with their parents, grandparents, and elderly neighbours and prepare essays based on the information given. This has resulted in about 750,000 pages of local history and folklore being now preserved in the National Folklore Department of University College Dublin.
In the parish of Lackagh, the four National Schools were invited to join the project and all readily agreed to participate. The School Principals were Liam Ó Mainnín (Bawnmore NS). An tSuir Fionnbarr NicChártaighh (Coolarne NS) Cathal Ó Murchada (Cregmore NS), and Seosamh Ó hAinlighe in Lackagh NS.
Some of the children entered wholeheartedly into the project and we see Chris Ní Choncarra (Concar) of Coolarne NS who contributed at least fifteen works and Nóra Seoighe (Joyce), also of Coolarne NS with fourteen. It is interesting to see the divide between the sexes, the girls’ essays outnumbering the boys’ by around five to one. Many family names recorded are names which are still identified as being of the parish, for example Concar, Joyce, Holland, Hession, Golding, Shaughnessy, Hanley, Burke, McGrath, Hughes, Culkeen, McTigue, O’Brien, Delaney, and Dunleavy.
Originally the essays were written in the child’s home exercise copybook and then transferred into specially provided large notebooks which were bound, labelled, numbered, and filed in order of province, county, barony, and parish. One of the most striking things about the essays is the wonderful penmanship, especially in the Irish language essays written in the old Gaelic script.
The local writings give us a fascinating insight of the countryside in 1937 – 1938. The topics about which they were instructed to research and write ranged from local history and monuments, folktales and legends, riddles and proverbs to songs, customs and beliefs. They were also encouraged to write about topics such as games and pastimes as well as traditional work practices and crafts. We can read of superstitions, holy wells, cures, weatherlore, and of course in the days before electric light banished them from the darkest corners of our homes, ghosts, fairies, and banshees.
One strange thing is the dearth of reference to wildlife as this evidently was not an academic interest for the children of that era. Conservation had not as yet entered the curriculum to the extent that we see it today. That said, the extensive knowledge of fur, fin, and feather that those children had learned from their elders was not considered a topic for essays, rather just a fact of life in the countryside.
The simplicity of many of the stories would pale when compared to the stories of science fiction and adventure read by today’s children. Did they ever think that eighty five years later their essays would be the subject of a Lackagh parish book? And that is where they are now to be found!
The Lackagh Museum and Community Development Association has now published a book to commemorate our pupils of 1938 and they hope that readers will enjoy this look back at the beliefs, stories, and customs of our people at that time.
Michael Hurley has taken a comprehensive selection of the essays by local children and translated some and transcribed others into an attractive 124-page volume.
The publishers acknowledge with grateful thanks the financial assistance from Galway County Council’s Community Support Scheme 2022, which helped in no small measure to make this publication a reality.
The book will appeal to many people in the area who will see essays penned by their parents, grandparents, or neighbours bringing to life again a way of life that is now buried deep under the burden of a much more complex lifestyle than in 1938.
Schools’ Essays, Lackagh Parish 1938, was launched as the Lackagh contribution to National Heritage Week on Saturday, 13th August in the Lackagh Parish Centre (Carnoneen) by Noel Grealish TD. It is on sale in local shops in the areas of Lackagh and Turloughmore at a price of €10 and all profits will be used for the upkeep of the Museum and Heritage Centre.

Community Activities Fund
Lackagh Museum gratefully acknowledge a grant of €1,900 from Galway County council under the Community Activities Fund towards our day to day running costs. This is especially beneficial as it comes at a time when our electricity and maintenance costs have increased substantially whilst our revenue sources have been heavily impacted as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Connected Hubs Funding for Lackagh Museum and Heritage Centre
Lackagh Museum and Heritage Centre are delighted to have been awarded a grant of €70,932.07 under the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Connected Hubs Call 2022. The funding will be used to upgrade the remote working facilities at the Knockdoe Room which will complement the Public Access High Speed Broadband Connection Point at the Church Car Park which is due to go live very shortly.
The investment will enable the Museum Committee to substantially refurbish the room to a high standard to accommodate those working remotely. Once the upgrade works are completed, the Lackagh BCP will be integrated with the Western Development Commission’s Connected Hubs Platform whereby desks may be pre-booked through the online booking facility at www.connectedhubs.ie.
Lackagh BCP hub will have up to eight desk spaces and supporting office equipment including scanners, printers and large screen monitors. The hub will contain two privacy booths and a six seater pod. HEPA filter air purifiers will be installed along with energy efficient lighting and heating. The online booking system will allow workers to prepay for the use of a desk for set periods of time either on a short or long term basis. Access to the remote hub will be enabled through the user’s mobile phone.
The hub will provide a low cost remote working option for those requiring good broadband connectivity. In addition, it will be an attractive option for morning commuters on the R354 and N83 who wish to avoid time consuming traffic delays as well as for parents of children in the adjacent pre-school. It will also be an important community facility for students and for parishioners wishing to connect with family members overseas. In addition, the investment will enable the Committee to deliver a range of digital/IT courses to our parishioners over the autumn and winter months.
We are most grateful to the Department of Rural and Community Development for the funding. We are also most grateful to Galway Co Co for funding the equipment under the Department of Rural and Community Development's Connected Hubs Call in 2021 and especially for the continued support of Broadband Officers, Noel Madden and Nora O'Connor.
Work to upgrade the remote working facilities in the Knockdoe Room is currently underway with an anticipated opening date of 1st December. Lackagh Museum Committee are now inviting expressions of interest for use of the hub on a long or short term basis.

Lackagh Museum and Community Development Association along with Turloughmore Community Council collaborated to undertake this important initiative for the parish which was part funded through GRD and the LEADER Programme. Copies of the plan are available from the museum and it can also be downloaded below.
Turloughmore GAA Memorabilia
Lackagh Museum played host to a nostalgic few hours some months ago when Siobhán Doyle of the National Museum of Ireland visited us to look at some GAA memorabilia for possible inclusion in a new book.
Just a few short months later and A history of the GAA in 100 Objects, part of a multi-faceted project supported by RTÉ, has been published to great reviews. The book offers a new perspective on GAA history by presenting a range of formal and informal objects from museum collections and placing them as central to a new understanding of the history of the association and its development.
The star of that gathering in Lackagh Museum which was conducted in line with Covid-19 guidelines was undoubtedly Seamus Murphy who played with Turloughmore at mid- field during the six-in- row era. Seamus brought along his haul of medals from that time including his six county hurling championship medals along with a haul of medals from various tournaments including the Kenny cup, Reeves cup, Kilbeacanty 7’s and a number of his Co. Minor championship medals.
Perhaps the item that attracted most interest however and which features in the book was the hurl that served him so well for over 100 games in the black and white jersey during a golden decade for Turloughmore hurling. Repaired and rebanded many times, it looked good enough for another 100 games!
Seamus reminisced fondly about those glory days, recounting their training regime under Mick Brennan, how they might even have won another title or two and when he finally decided to call it a day.
A number of old photos of Turloughmore Hurling teams from the 1930s and 40s were also on display as well as a photo of the Turloughmore William O’Briens team from 1892 which hangs in Murray’s Bar. Interestingly, a young Pat Murray in that 1892 team was the trainer of the 1930’s team. And the Murray-Turloughmore GAA connection still continues to this day through his granddaughter Breda and great- granddaughter Leonie, both of whom were present.
Ms. Doyle was delighted with the effort put in by the museum committee to assist her and we wish her every success with the book which every GAA fan should get their hands on.

Lackagh Cottage Singing Circle
|
A very successful number of sessions for song, poetry, recitation and storytelling were held on the first Monday of each month in early 2020 in the thatched Cottage.
This get-together was organised for those who simply wanted to sing, no experience or training was necessary. Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 Virus the next session will not take place until further notice. |
Lackagh Cottage Museum rethatched
Work has been completed on the rethatching of the front of Lackagh Cottage Museum. The rethatching has been made possible thanks to LEADER funding from Galway Rural Development, a Community Enhancement Programme grant from Galway Co Co. and the generousity of a private donor. The Museum Committee are also indebted to all who support our weekly lotto draw and contribute to our "clobber" which is an important source of revenue for us and this has helped us greatly to raise the match funding required to carry out this necessary work.
We also wish to express our gratitude to Adam and Pawel Kusielczuk who carried out the work in just 2 weeks despite the terrible weather!
