In this issue Mike Lennon tells the very interesting, little-known tale of the ‘Battle at Cloonakilla’, which adds another layer to Tulsk’s nineteenth-century history. Breege Hyland then follows up her recent article on Rahardagh House with a look at the influence of forts and raths on local placenames. Noel Sheerin brings us our cover story this quarter – a detailed, 40th anniversary feature on the official opening of Tulsk Lord Edward’s GAA grounds in 1985. A special inclusion this month is the story of Tomona House, as written by the late Paddy Moffatt for the 2009 Co. Roscommon Historical and Archaeological Society Journal. We’ve also got a 20-year anniversary photo feature of a collection of images from Tulsk village in 2005, all captured by Ann O’Leary. We round off the edition with a primary source document from the Tulsk Relief Committee, written during the Great Irish Famine in 1846. It all makes for a big Spring issue and we hope you enjoy it!
