Ireland’s Roads Not (Often) Taken: “Inis Cealtra,” the Holy Island

Posted by Joe Gannon on July 27, 2024 at 10:30pm 6 Comments

Round Lough Derg's holy island I went upon the stones,

I prayed at all the Stations upon my marrow bones,

And there I found an old man, and though, I prayed all day

And that old man beside me, nothing would he say

From “The…

Posted by Margaret M. Johnson on May 28, 2024 at 8:20am 0 Comments

Our educated guess is that Dr. Theodore Thaddeus Dominic O’Kelly came to Guatemala around 1696. He might be a surgeon from the ranks of the Jacobite Army that fought in Aughrim. According to his account, he was an Ulsterman born in Loughgall (County Armagh) around 1658.
