COVID 19; As most deaths from the virus are in nursing homes, would the government save more lives, by getting people in the community to adopt residents of homes and thus relieve pressure on congregated establishments. Daily testing of staff in contact with people, would help reduce another mode of infection. Leaving people enjoy the outdoors in the countryside, may in long term be the better plan. Burning of all suspected infected material that cannot be washed would also help. It is said that C19 can persist on Cardboard for 8 hours and plastic for three days, as most clothes are plastic based, sneezing into armpit would be a great means of spreading the virus.

VOCATION SUNDAY: “The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out his flock, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.” On this Good Shepherd Sunday we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life, especially for our diocese, that God will raise up good shepherds in our midst. Do you hear the voice of the Lord, the Good Shepherd calling you to a particular way of life? If you think God is calling you to serve the Church as a priest or in the consecrated life, contact Fr. Joe Begley, The Presbytery, Glengarriff, Bantry, Co. Cork. Email [email protected] Phone: 027-63045 or the National Vocations Office, email: [email protected].

COVID 19; In Germany, lung specialist Voshaar was also concerned. A mechanical ventilator itself can damage the lungs, he says. This means patients stay in intensive care longer, blocking specialist beds and creating a vicious circle in which ever more ventilators are needed.
Of the 36 acute COVID-19 patients on his ward in mid-April, Voshaar said, one had been intubated – a man with a serious neuro-muscular disorder – and he was the only patient to die. Another 31 had recovered.
LEWIS: Did you know that every county in Ireland was described in exquisite detail by Lewis in 1837? Whether your ancestors emigrated or lived in the same place for generations, nothing beats a look back to what life was like there just before the Great Famine.

CUNNINGHAM; Phil Cunningham
Murher (Kerry) Clonmel St Peter Paul (Tipperary)
Phil Cunningham is often regarded as the forgotten leader of the Vinegar Hill uprising in New South Wales, Australia. Born in an area now known as Moylahiffe, Co. Kerry, Cunningham relocated to Clonmel, Tipperary sometime in the 1790’s. He worked there as both as stonemason and a publican. After the 1798 Irish rebellion, Cunningham became involved in arms raids and helping prisoners to escape. This activity landed him under arrest in 1799, and he was sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay for life.
Cunningham’s journey to New South Wales was made aboard the Anne. Conditions aboard this ship were notoriously poor, with the captain exerting extremely harsh punishments upon the prisoners. This led to a failed attempt at mutiny. Cunningham was punished for his role in the mutiny by being sent to the infamous Norfolk Island, but his skills in stonemasonry were desperately required in New South Wales, and so he was sent back.
The rebellious spirit did not die easily in Cunningham as he tried and failed to escape in 1802. In 1804, he became the principal leader of the Irish rebels in the convict rebellion. Cunningham and his 233 followers escaped from their prison with the intention of capturing ships to sail them home to Ireland. This resulted in the first ever declaration of martial law in Australia’s history. The Irish rebels were defeated on Vinegar Hill, just one day after their escape. Cunningham was arrested under truce. Nine of the rebel leaders were executed, but it is uncertain what became of Cunningham, though it is commonly believed that he was hanged in Windsor, where his place of death is now marked as a point of historical interest.

Nicholas Leonard, Abbeyfeale.
P.S. The following extract from The Kerryman Newspaper of 7th October 2004 will outline the Moyvane aspect:
…But not many people would know that Philip Cunningham, one of the leaders of the uprising by the Transported United Irishmen in Australia, was a native of Moyvane.
Philip Cunningham has been described as the Michael Collins of his time – he was head of the United Irishmen for Munster. He was eventually arrested in 1799, tried for ‘treason felony’ against the Crown – notably for planning the capture of Clonmel – and deported to Australia in 1800.
The Moyvane man, however, continued his revolutionary activities in Australia, leading a short rebellion against the British authorities – for which he was subsequently hanged.
In March this year Cunningham and his men were honoured in several ceremonies in Australia. The weekend of ceremonies in Kerry began on Friday night in Moyvane with a lecture from well-known historian Dr Ruan O’Donnell.
Dr O’Donnell spoke about the history of the era and the known history of Cunningham both in Ireland and Australia.
—————–
Hi, Ireland Reaching Out team,
Moyvane was in 1837 part of Murhur/Murher/Murhir Civil Parish. It was probably the same when Phil Cunningham was born, and when he died in Australia in 1804 .
Glenlea – in Irish Gleann Liath (The Grey Glen)- is in Moyvane Parish in North Kerry; Phil Cunningham is still revered there as a local hero of the 1798 Rebellion, and later of the Castle Hill insurrection in Australia. He was transported after 1798 to Botany Bay, and led the Castle Hill Rebellion in March 1804. Whilst a truce was being held to parley with the military authorities, a Captain Laycock treacherously shot Cunningham in the back, and killed him.
Molahiffe Civil Parish is near Farranfore and Firies, Co. Kerry, a long way to the south from Moyvane, about 32 miles by road.
The only connection between the two places that I can see is that Molahiffe and Moyvane, in Irish, have the same first word: Molahiffe has Maigh Fhlaithimh and Moyvane has Maigh Mheáin. In addition, Murhur is Maigh Oirthir in Irish.
It would be incorrect to use Molahiffe as the Civil Parish for Moyvane. As well as being an impracticable arrangement, there is no evidence that Moyvane had any known connection, administrative or ecclesiastical, with Molahiffe. There were persons from North Kerry who held extensive lands in the Molahiffe area, though, but this did not change the Civil Parish.
The only correct option would be to use Murhur as the Civil Parish- or its older form, Murher, as this latter form of the name dates to 1596. The oldest recorded different version goes back to 1426.
This would clear up ambiguity for persons searching for Moyvane connections.
Best wishes, Nicholas Leonard. Abbeyfeale.

When someone remains unconvinced of something, we often think they haven’t yet heard the right argument. Usually, though, they just haven’t yet met the right person.
Nearly 100 agrarian murders occurred in Ireland from the start of the Land War in 1879 through the conclusion of the Parliamentary special commission on “Parnellism and Crime.” This story explores the viciousness of the period by looking at the case of one family. The murder of boycotted farmer John Foran caught the attention of newspapers and Parliament and echoed up to the founding of the Irish Free State.

Conclusions- COVID-19
In this survey, we demonstrated the researches and approaches of about 100 eminent scientists from around the world. In general, they agree that the current statistical data does not reflect the actual state of affairs, and the publicly distributed media estimates of the mortality rate are at least incorrect, and do not correspond to the actual picture.
The actual number of people with SARS-CoV-2 infection or people that already passed through COVID-19 early-stage or without symptoms is several dozen times higher than the public numbers show.
This is primarily due to the approaches and scope of testing. The public numbers have little to do with science. This is, to a greater extent, either media or politically motivated data. You should also consider the factor of a special picture of the course of the disease, which affects medical statistics (RKI Epidemiological bulletins).
Accordingly, the real mortality rate from SARS-CoV-2 is 25-60 times less than the figures presented to us by MSM and a number of governments.
The number of people with SARS-CoV-2 virus, but without the COVID-19 disease or with a mild form of the disease, according to various estimates, ranges from 85% to 95%. This group, as a rule, does not fall into official statistics, as it is not tested, not hospitalized, and does not seek medical help.
The negative consequences for life and health of people from ill-conceived social measures can at times surpass the threat posed by SARS-CoV-2. There has been a significant increase in the mortality from diseases unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 already.
Countries, whose leadership works closely with scientists, consistently and quickly responds to changes in the situation and the emergence of new data, will receive a huge advantage in the post-COVID-19 world.
The current actions of politicians in a number of countries are difficult to explain with anything other than incompetence or deliberate actions to achieve their personal/clan political ambitions or promote interests of external actors.

Saint Joseph the Worker
Saint of the Day for May 1
https://www.franciscanmedia.
The Story of Saint Joseph the Worker
To foster deep devotion to Saint Joseph among Catholics, and in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker in 1955. This feast extends the long relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers in both Catholic faith and devotion.
So…you are looking for a volunteering placement. We can help.

There were 2 o connor families in claar.
Get in touch if you need further information.
Hi I’m trying to locate where the exact location of Claar, Listowel or Claar, Moyvane, Kerry is. An ancestor Mary Connor and her siblings were born there in 1815. I’ve searched for it on the internet for townlands but suspect the name may have been changed without any results. Any ideas to pinpoint this would be welcomed.
