OLD Farmers; Dr. Conway said: “Farmers and their families remain a critically important component of rural life throughout Ireland. This fundamental point must be recognised by governments and society as a whole. “Many farmers feel they don’t want, nor need, to retire, once they reach 65 or 66
years-of-age. “They feel they still have lots to offer, and this is absolutely correct. There is no substitute for experience. “For a government simply to push ahead with a finance-heavy retirement package is not the right approach to take when it comes to dealing with the issue of farm succession.” https://www.agriland.ie/

SICK; When the Irish census was taken, returns were obtained respecting disease, and a curious and interesting report, embodying the result of this inquiry, has been presented to Parliament. It is supposed that no such account has ever been taken in any country. The number of the sick in Ireland on the 30th of March, 1851, was 104,495, or about 1 in every 62. of the population — somewhere about five-sevenths of the number who die in a year. In order, however, to find how many of the population were by circumstances unavailable as working members of the community, we are reminded that we must take into account 250,611 persons who were inmates of workhouses, 3,436 confined in lunatic asylums, 2,271 in asylums for the aged and infirm, 3,839 in hospitals, and 15,609 in prisons, amounting in all to 275,766 persons provided for by the country, while 48,291 were labouring under sickness at their own homes; altogether amounting to 324,057 persons, or one in every 201/4 of the community. This amount of unavailable population differs materially in the four provinces, and the variation exhibits in some degree the proportion of poverty, sickness, and crime in these different localities. Thus, in Ulster, we find one in 47.36; in Leinster, 1 in 22.63; in Connaught, 1 in 20.19; and in Munster, 1 in 11.78. The Census Commissioners reckoned the deaf-dumb, the dumb, the blind, and the insane among the sick. There was one person deaf and dumb in every 1,380 of the community, the total number being 4,747, and seven-eighths of them were born deaf and dumb. There were 433 persons dumb, but not deaf-also mostly born so; they were generally paralytic or idiotic, but there were instances of persons dumb only, without other defect. Nearly 100 of the deaf and dumb were married, and there were six instances of the intermarriage of deaf and dumb persons; of the 216 children of all these marriages only two were deaf and dumb. Muteism, it appears, is often manifest in several members of a family derived from a common stock, but the defect is seldom transmitted direct from parents to children. Generally the deaf mute was one only in a family of several children, oftenest the first or the last child; in one instance the 29th child, all the 29 being born of the same parents. Only 232 of the deaf and dumb were in public institutions for the instruction of persons so afflicted. Deaf-dumbness prevails most in the rural districts presenting mountain ranges. There were 7,587 blind persons — one in every 864; more than half of them were married, and two-thirds were above 40 years old; 19 persons were deaf, dumb, and blind. There were 5,074 lunatics (one in every 1,291), and 4,906 idiots (one in every 1,336), the great majority of the latter so born; above 1,000 of the lunatics and above 3,500 of the idiots were neither in asylums, gaols, nor workhouses. The Census Commissioners remark that the number of those who are at large demands the serious attention of the State. Of the 250,611 persons in workhouses, 42,474 were labouring under disease; of the 15,609 persons (debtors, accused, and criminals) in prisons, 1,072. There were 577 debtors in prison; the prisoners convicted of crimes were one in 526 of the population.
Of the whole number of the sick in Ireland, 1 in 118 had smallpox, 1 in 30 influenza (partially epidemic at the time), 1 in 189 was in childbed, 1 in 10 had disease of the chest. 191 persons were returned (chiefly from hospitals and by the police) as ill from the effects of cold, exposure, or starvation. 501 of the sick were under one year old; 464 were 90 and upwards. More were between 10 and 15, than of any other period of life.

Result—he learns of sum of £635 awaiting him to the Irish Courts.
This unusual drama was revealed before the Master of the High Court in Dublin, Friday, when an order was made for payment of the amount to the claimant.
Edward Fitzgibbon on behalf of James Ambrose, said claimant, whose family resided near Newcastle West, Co. Limerick, was left £200 under his father’s will, which was made in 1897, two years after claimant had gone to New Zealand. As a result of Court proceedings in 1918 £317 was placed to his credit and the amount now was £636

SISTERS: There are about 155 Sisters of St Louis in the Irish Region. The Irish Region encompasses Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Most sisters in the Region have reached official retirement age. However, apart from sisters who are ill or very frail, most sisters continue to actively serve others and make the world a better place. We have, however, largely moved from active corporate ministry to one of collaborative outreach and prayerful solidarity with local communities and the wider world. Many sisters are involved in internal ministry and care of each other. Some are also involved in pastoral and prayer ministries, retreat work, chaplaincy, spirituality and religious formation. Still other sisters continue to be active in education in both community and formal settings. This includes second chance education opportunities, teaching English as a second language, acculturation programmes and homework clubs for migrants, development education with particular reference to climate change and the integrity of creation, Governance, strategic development and trusteeship roles.
At least 100 sisters who are currently members of the Irish Region have lived and been in ministry in Belgium, Brazil, California, England, France, Ghana, Liberia, or Nigeria.

TG4 Dé Domhnaigh @ 20:30; In each episode a special guest will have the opportunity to trace their family history and surname. This will take them as far back as possible in history. We are fortunate enough in Ireland to still have many of our archaeological heritage sites which means that guests can visit an old stronghold associated with their clann’s name. We will cast an eye on other people who have held that same surname, some famous and infamous. Some of the surnames will include O’Flaherty, Murphy, Joyce, O’Donnell and more.

FOREST: FII said that conifers produce the valuable softwood timber products that are needed for construction and other sectors such as pallets, fencing, packaging, and bioenergy.

The Little-Known Story of When the Masons Tried to Kill Don Bosco
St. John Bosco. CNA Staff News- January 31, 2024
History notes how much the Freemasons hated St. John Bosco, the founder of the Salesians — whose feast the Church celebrates on Jan. 31 — but less known are their attempts to kill him.
The two assassination attempts ordered by Freemasons against Bosco can be found in The Biographical Memoirs of Don Bosco and was recounted in the June 1, 1980, issue of the Salesian Bulletin, the official publication of the Salesian Family.
According to these accounts, a former student of Bosco named Alessandro Dasso showed up at the gatehouse in late June 1880 asking to speak to the priest.
“His eyes were full of anguish,” the account related. “Don Bosco received him with his usual kindness,” but faced with the “growing agitation” of the young man, the founder of the Salesian family asked him: “What do you want from me? Speak! You know that Don Bosco loves you.”
At these words, Dasso “fell to his knees, burst into tears and sobs,” and revealed the truth.
According to the story, the young man was a Freemason and the group had sentenced Don Bosco to death. Twelve men’s names had been drawn, and they were to carry out the order.

THE LOURDES HELPERS FUND: Over 50 years ago Kerry Diocese decided to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes to enable assisted (sick) pilgrims visit the shrine. This year is the 50th pilgrimage with assisted pilgrims (due to the pandemic assisted pilgrims were unable to travel some years). This year is sort of a new beginning or restarting of the pilgrimage. The theme for this year in Lourdes is “come here in procession” which Our Lady asked St Bernadette. As we return, we need helpers, nurses, and the need to inform people (who need assistance) to join us in 2024.
Daycare centres/nursing homes are invited to inform their service users who may wish to travel with us. The Pilgrimage has changed in many ways over the past 50 years, but the main purpose is still the same, to take the sick to Lourdes and for this we need helpers. Many are students and thus require help to finance the trip. This collection goes towards that effort. The Lourdes Helpers Fund also helps assisted pilgrims who may not be able to afford to pay the full fare and would like to go to Lourdes. The collection for the Lourdes Helpers will be taken up as a second collection after communion on the weekend of the 10th/11th February 2024.

INNOVATION AWARD 2024
The European Sustainable Energy Awards (EUSEW Awards) highlights the success of individual and collective actions in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

=============================
December 2015, No. 3 Vol. LII, Sustainable Energy
As Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), I accepted with pleasure the opportunity to write about the remarkable transformation of the energy sector by renewable energy technologies. The topic was suggested to me in the gracious invitation by the UN Chronicle, and we will come to it in a moment, for it says a lot about where renewable energy is today and how it is perceived.
But first, we need to talk about why renewable energy is so important. The world is facing an unprecedented turning point. Climate change represents a real and imminent threat to the prosperity that many enjoy today, and that millions aspire to and are working towards. But of course, it is more than this. It is about the survival for the most vulnerable of this planet’s citizens, and about the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity that we should be safeguarding. The changing climate is largely being driven by emissions from burning fossil fuels, although there are other important contributors. To stem climate change we must reduce our consumption of these carbon-intensive fuels. Renewables can and must be a central part of this plan.
