GAA Football notes: Knockanure V Brosna
We had mixed fortunes in the North Kerry League in the two games so far. In Coolard on Sunday 3rd of April in poor weather conditions, we were beaten by Brosna on a score of Brosna 2-7 to Knockanure 1-7. Both teams have to be complimented for togging out on the day. Billy Lunch’s men who were great to play football in such conditions gave their best and can be very proud of themselves. We are very grateful to the Ballydonoghue club who gave the use of their pitch. Many thanks.
Knockanure V Listowel
On Friday night last in Listowel, Knockanure got revenge for their early defeat, to win against Listowel by producing arguably one of their best displays seen at this venue. Final score was Knockanure 2-13 Listowel 2-8. In defence were cousins Stack and Jack Goulding. Holding the defence steadfast, no fancy footballers would get through there. Midfield with high fielding and feeding their forwards with accurate passing it was a treat to watch. Some of the scores were something special in the second half. They may not be a big team but make up for that with heart and bravery. Next game fixture to be held on the weekend of the 24th in Brosna.

HISTORY: Irish Courts Martial Files 1916-1922, by Kay Caball
Two new set of records have been released on Ancestry.co.uk. These are free to research and neither have been online before. They mka blog Horgan Courts Martial (2)are Irish Courts Martial Files 1916- 1922 and Ireland Intelligence Profiles 1914-1922. They are not the easiest in the world to search through, but if you have a Kerry name whose records may be included, my best advice is the put in the minimum – just name and Kerry, Ireland in the location.
For instance I came across a Courts Martial file on James Connor, Robert Kelly, Dan Horgan and Dan Spillane who held up a train and ‘deprived’ the military of arms, ammunition & equipment. The full details of the trial are there and the evidence (which was all one sided as the only witnesses were the military) is included.
DAIL: In Committee on Finance. – Vote No. 32—Office of the Minister for Justice.
Wednesday, 20 April 1932
Mr. Lemass: Information on Seán F. Lemass Zoom on Seán F. Lemass This Party stands for the same principles as were enunciated in 1916. The first of these is majority rule, the right of the representatives elected by the people of the country to [218] make laws binding on these people without fear, favour, rent or render, or permission from any other authority on earth. That is what we are standing for. We are going to see that majority rule will operate, and that it will be effective majority rule; in other words, that it will be possible to ascertain exactly what the will of the majority is by giving them every opportunity of expressing it. We have had Deputy Fitzgerald asking do we contemplate some possibility at some time in the future of somebody advocating communism? Of course, we contemplate that. It is open to people to advocate communism, and if they can get a sufficient number of people to elect them in support of a communistic doctrine, to come in here and advocate it. It is no crime to advocate any political policy, and we are not going to make it a crime. We are going to try and make the Dáil representative of every section of opinion in the country. It is by doing that that we can achieve more to secure stability and ordered progress than the late Government did by seventeen Coercion Acts during their ten years in office. Deputy Hogan has expressed the hope that this peace will last. I can assure him that he will get his hope.
Mr. J. Flynn: Information on John Flynn Zoom on John Flynn I have written to the Minister for Justice in connection with the proposed new barracks. Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding on the part of Deputy Corry and myself, but certain advertisements were issued and we took it for granted that new barracks were to be erected in Kerry. Therefore, I did communicate with the Minister for Justice on the question. I understand now that no such scheme will be carried through. There was an item in last year’s estimate of £1,500 for each of at least four barracks in Kerry. The Minister at the moment has intimated to me that it will not be discussed now but later. I would like to impress upon him that if at all possible the erection of these barracks in Kerry or in any other county should be deferred, and that the money proposed for them would be far more remuneratively spent by providing employment in other ways than in the erection of barracks or the repair of barracks either.
[227] Opposition Deputies have referred to peace and prosperity. I would point out one real menace to peace in rural portions of the Co. Kerry. Certain members of the detective forces have done terrible things in their time. They have gone so far as to torture innocent men from political motives, and these forces are still retained in Kerry in certain rural districts. I would ask the Minister at least, pending a revision or disbandment of these forces, to remove them from the districts in which they did desperate things against certain sections of the people. I would point out very strongly that it would be a real basis of peace if such elements were removed or if there was an intimation that in the very near future the Minister could accomplish that.
