Augustinian church in New Ross in danger of falling into ‘further decay' unless council takes action

New Ross Standard Today at 20:00 The Augustinian buildings in New Ross should not be allowed to fall into 'further decay' according to local councillor John Dwyer. Speaking at the June meeting of the New Ross Municipal District (NRMD) Councillor Dwyer said the council needed to use whatever powers it had to preserve the buildings. 'The Augustinian building and the stone pathway has been closed permanently, I understand there may be sensitivities over the land ownership but we have to tackle the dereliction that's there – and not just by putting up hoarding,' he said. Describing the buildings as a 'spectacular part' of New Ross, Cllr Dwyer said the steps there were currently in a 'disgraceful condition'. "We need to use our powers under the Derelict Sites Act to ensure that the steps and the entrance are protected, and that the buildings are not allowed to fall into further decay,' he added.

'It was an emotional moment': Students complete Ireland's first Leaving Cert Ukrainian exam

An Olympic hopeful was among the inaugural students to sit the first ever Leaving Cert Ukrainian exam, in a day of mixed emotions for the students who arrived in Ireland fleeing war. Schools across the country have welcomed thousands of students through their doors since 2022, many of whom arrived to Ireland without fluent English. More than 570 students nationwide were entered with the State Examinations Commission (SEC) to sit the first exam in the subject, which is now recognised as a non-curricular language. Non-curricular languages do not appear as part of the normal school curriculum but are offered to students who meet certain criteria set by the SEC. Mariia Bielik, Mariia Kuznetsova, Varvara Kotenova, and Viktoriia Babachenko after completing the Leaving Certificate Ukrainian paper in Pobalscoil na Tríonóide, Youghal, Co Cork. Picture: Howard Crowdy In Youghal, East Cork, Pobalscoil na Tríonóide enrolled close to 90 students during the initial stages of Ireland's response to the war in Ukraine. On Monday, the school had 11 students sit the first ever Ukrainian exam. Among them was Mariia Bielik, who said: The school management and the teachers came and took care of us from day one. We had a lot of support here. "When we came here, no one knew English and of course, we were all worried about what we were going to do. When I first came to Pobalscoil, they were so quick in finding us supports. 'For me, it was an emotional moment to see our language included officially. We sincerely thank everyone for making it happen.' The exam itself was far from easy, she added. 'It was the first time, so we didn't know what to expect. I actually didn't have enough time, and I haven't studied the Ukrainian language formally for two years. 'All this time I've tried to concentrate in English mostly, so sitting Ukrainian today felt like a piece of home to all of us here, in a new country that welcomed us with kindness and understanding.' She hopes to study law here once she finishes her post-primary school studies. 'If I get good grades," she said. Early starts for Olympic hopeful Sasha Her classmate Oleksandr 'Sasha' Lychuk has been very happy to continue his promising swimming career, cut short in Ukraine, here in Cork. An accomplished swimmer with Dolphin Swimming Club, he hopes to one day represent Ireland at the Olympics. 'It's my dream, it's my goal. Hopefully in a few years I can do it,' he said. He trained every morning before school, rising before dawn to make his training sessions. 'It was really hard at the start but now it's kind of my life,' he said. 'At 4.30am every morning, I need to go from Youghal to Cork so I wake up at 4am. I have training until 5.30am and then I need to get back to Youghal to my school, Pobalscoil.' He joined the school two years ago. 'Everything was new; The country, the language, the school, the system.' He added: 'When I first arrived, I didn't speak any English at all. I found it really hard to understand what was happening. My school gave me huge support. We had extra English lessons, and we had the teachers' assistance. They explained things patiently and they helped us with homework. 'They just gave me time. It was so helpful, especially when I was swimming also. There were so many news things, it was very hard.' Mariia: From Ukraine into a Junior Cert class Student Mariia Kuznetsova also wanted to thank her school for the help and support she received. 'When we came to Ireland, I went straight into third year which was a big challenge for me and all my friends because it was Junior Cert year," she said. Mariia Bielik, Mariia Kuznetsova, Varvara Kotenova, and Viktoriia Babachenko who completed the higher level Leaving Certificate Ukrainian paper in Pobalscoil na Tríonóide, Youghal. Picture: Howard Crowdy "My school did a lot for us, they welcomed us, gave us special lectures, English lessons, always offered to help us. 'This year, I decided to try higher level English and I finally did the Leaving Cert,' she said, adding that it was 'really hard'. 'I'm nervous about the result.' She now hopes to study interior architecture after her exams. Many Ukrainian students had no time to adjust to a new language and a new system when they arrived first, she said. 'Now, we are doing Leaving Cert. I have no possibility to return to my native city in Ukraine because it is occupied by Russians. There is no way back for me, so I am really thankful.' Varvara aims to study fine art at MTU Varvara Kotenova was also very grateful to have Ukrainian as an exam option, although the exam was 'not easy'. 'It was great to be a part of it.' She hopes now to study fine art. 'I'm an artist. I have been painting since I was 11 years old and I hope to continue to do so. Mariia Kuznetsova and Varvara Kotenova from Pobalscoil na Tríonóide, Youghal who completed the Ukrainian Higher Course Leaving Certificate Paper on Monday morning. Picture: Howard Crowdy 'I really want to apply to MTU for the fine art course. "Thanks to my school, my skills have improved and with the support from the kind people I have met here, I've been able to progress further.' All non-curricular languages were examined on Monday as students may undertake an exam in just one language from the 16 included subjects. This list includes Bulgarian, Czech, Latvian, and Romanian. Mandarin Chinese, Lithuanian, Polish, and Portuguese were added as curricular languages in 2020, and examined for the first time in 2022.

Animal Farm – Frank McNally on how 'Skin-the-Goat' Fitzharris was radicalised by the killing of a fox

James 'Skin the Goat' Fitzharris (1833 – 1910), about whom we were talking here last week, was synonymous with an animal he supposedly turned into a rug after he caught it eating straw from his horse's collar. Less well known is how the death of another four-legged creature, back in the 1830s, may have helped send the infamous cab driver to the scene of the Phoenix Park Murders half a century later. I'm indebted for the story to reader Brian Garvey, whose wife has ancestral connections to Fitzharris's Sliabh Buidhe (aka Bhui), 'where a crow never flew over the head of an informer'. She inherited it as part of family lore. But it was written and first published in 1961 by the journalist and former Irish revolutionary, Commandant W.J. Brennan-Whitmore. READ MORE The latter was also from 'Slievebwee', as he spelt it, and his parents' house was the first that Skin-the-Goat visited on his return to Wexford circa 1899, upon release from penal servitude for his part in the 1882 conspiracy. Central to the story was James's father Andrew, an employee of a substantial farmer named Michael Sinnott, whose land was owned by the area's main landlord, the Earl of Courtown. 'One spring morning,' according to Brennan-Whitmore, 'Fitzharris was carting manure from the yard of his employer to the top of a field on Corrig Hill,' while his burdened mare 'zig-zagged' up the incline and Sinnott's large collie dog 'hunted the ditch'. When the mare stopped for a breather, as was her habit, Fitzharris paused too and lit his pipe. He and the dog then waited patiently for the mare to regather herself. Meanwhile, floating on the breeze, came the sound of the Island Fox Hunt (from Ferns), which was somewhere close by. The mare recovered, Fitzharris was about resume the climb when the unfortunate fox, fleeing one pack of hounds, hurdled the ditch and straight into the path of the collie, which promptly seized it. This was bad news for the fox, but also for Fitzharris. He was thrown into a panic, not from animal welfare concerns but because killing foxes in those days was the preserve of the gentry. A mere peasant who did it, especially mid-hunt, could be in big trouble. But despite his attempts to rescue it, the fox was soon dead. 'Terrified,' Fitzharris now looked all around him. There was no-one within sight, it seemed, so he carried the fox's carcase farther up the hill and flung it across the ditch into a dense heap of bushes and briars. When the hunt arrived and the hounds lost the scent, Fitzharris was asked which way the fox went. He pointed towards the mountain, the same Slievebwee, and the hunt rode on. The failure to pick up the scent would now be the dogs' fault, he thought. But a week later, as he was again working in the fields, his wife came running, distressed. They were being evicted, she said. Police and bailiffs had arrived and were throwing the family's belongings 'out on the roadside'. Fitzharris hurried to the scene and grabbed a fork before neighbours pacified him. Then, hearing from the sheriff that the eviction was on the earl's orders, Sinnott intervened: 'Good heavens man, you can't throw a young family out on the side of the road whose father did no wrong and who owes no rent.' Here the landlord's gamekeeper, a man named Rigley, spoke up to say that he had witnessed Fitzharris allow the collie to kill the fox. Hence the eviction, he explained. Fitzharris called him a 'damned liar,' but it was no use. The family was out, and forced to seek shelter that night in a barn owned by a relative. The vindictive landlord and his gamekeeper, however, were not having that either. Learning of the arrangement, they warned the sheltering tenant that if he did not 'put Fitzharris on the road', he would be evicted too. So next, the family sought refuge in a one-roomed hut on a property farmed by a Mr McDonald and owned by another, smaller landlord. The Earl then let it be known that he wanted Fitzharris out of there too. But the smaller landlord and the hut owner both stood up to him and the family remained. According to Brennan-Whitmore, this is where James Fitzharris and his brothers, whom he knew well, grew up: 'James turned into a sturdy stock of a man, processing a fund of humour, with a tendency to harmless devilment and an ability to make ballad poetry. While in jail, he composed a ballad to his 'Old Grey Mare'. I often heard him sing it.' Brennan-Whitmore had enlisted in the Royal Irish Regiment as a teenager, spending five years in India. The experience seems to have radicalised him. He left the British army in 1907 and became an ardent republican who fought in 1916 and later served in the Free State Army before retiring to be a writer. His 1961 account for the Evening Herald, was headlined: 'The authentic story of James Fitzharris, alias 'Skin-the-Goat''. The subhead read: 'His first taste of landlord tyranny as an infant.' As the author told it, the accidental killing of a fox and its consequences may have helped propel Fitzharris to the Phoenix Park one fateful afternoon in 1882.
