Tue Jun 30 1998 David Clark Useless info list : On the point about the Salmon . . . I'm sure that I remember seeing an archive of the workhouse records in Castlebar and there was a reference to a near riot by the workers because they were sick of eating Salmon caught in the local river !?! (I'd check this out with one of our local historians if they were on-line, otherwise I'm afraid you'll just have to trust my memory !) Fri Jun 26 1998 Malcolm Raubach Greetings, I live in Cape Town in South Africa. My son will be travelling to Ballina in September 1998 and we would appreciate any information on Ballina and it's location relative to Castlebar. Your website is very good and informative. Regards Malcolm Fri Jun 26 1998 : jean mcgreal jean.mcgreal@sympatico.ca Mrs Mary McGreal, Turlough Road, Ken and Una McGreal and family, Straide, Ger and Kathy McGreal and family, Pontoon Road, and all my friends, especially, Annie Mae O'Neill, and Mary and Michael Basquill. See you all in 1999. Tue Jun 23 1998 : william hart whart99@yahoo.com Greetings from one of the Hart clan across the sea in the United States. I don't know any useless facts about Castlebar except my Great Grandfather came from there in 1854 and he never went back. Peace! Mon Jun 22 1998 Barry Campbell To the best of my knowledge Castlebar is the only town that an aeroplane was driven up the main street , parked outside a pub and left there while the driver/pilot went to wet his whistle. Thu Jun 04 1998 Peter Jordan Actually I just thought of a new interesting Castlebar fact whilst reading the one about the railway. The railway might have never reached Castlebar if it hadn't been for events in the Crimea and particularly the infamous "Charge of the Light Brigade". Lord Lucan was second in command to Lord Cardigan during this incident in the Crimea and allegedly the two didn't get along at all. Because of the dismal and wasteful failure of the "charge" , the most of the blame for which was apportioned with Lucan, he received an "honourable" discharge from the military and so came to Castlebar to devote his attentions to improving his Irish estates. He was one of the main driving forces behind getting the line extended from Athlone and indeed granted right of way thru his lands for the railway line without charging for the land. So there! Sun May 31 1998 Richard Gahagan (Risteard Gaughan) Dear Sir or Madam: Greetings from California. I've been surfing many web sites but have yet to find anything on a bicentenial celebration/festival comemorating the year of the French (1798) in Killala. My g-grandfather was born in Killala, County Mayo, December 13, 1838. My wife and I plan on visiting County Mayo this summer (for the fourth time). Any information regarding a celebration of the bicentenial of the year of the French is appreciated. Slan, Richard Gahagan [Check out out our 1798 commemoration event list] Wed May 27 1998 : Connie Dunbar cjdunbar@erols.com Hi from LaPlata Maryland USA Will be in Ireland next month Anything I should not miss? May 27 1998 Peter Jordan * comments: I heard a lot about this site and my brother in Oregon was getting all kind of e-mails from Castlebar and Breaffy people around the world so I figured I'd better go in and check it out. So if yer our there 'gis a shout. I'm in Fort Lauderdale, FL. By the way, the 3 best views of Castlebar and surroundings (Best way to appreciate the beautiful scenery) are either from The hill beside Baxter/Volex looking down towards Burren and Nephin or from The Westport Road about 2 miles out (Beyond Knockaphunta) or from the Ballinrobe road out beyound McGovern Motors. Come to think of it, it don't look bad coming in the new road either. Cheerio all you Fish heads and Breaffy Dudes Peter Jordan Ft Lauderdale (and Breaffy, Castlebar) May 27 1998 Peter Jordan * youremail: petejordan@aol.com * comments: More interesting fact on Castlebar: Well known and otherwise: 1. The town river once ran via the front door of the CT offices on Cavendish lane, thru DH Burkes, Alongside the mall (Behind the aforementioned John Moore Statue) and across Castle street and the carpark before resuming its present course at Barrack bridge. 2. Castlebar once had a red light district and a brothel (Some would argue both are still there) During it's time as a British army garrison town the "official brothel" was on Ellison street and the "red light" district was down around Newtown. 3. Freight Trafffic on the town river: In circa 1954 the Connuaught Telegraph reported a case of a coffin found floating down the town river. No further explanation was given. 4. According to Castlebar Native Aiden "Lanky" Leonard "It has great amenities for the size of it" whatever that means! 5. Fighting Fitzgerald, an Eton boy, born in Turlough house, caused a bit of trouble to the authorities with his incessant duelling and rowdyism so the hung him in the Mall. If I think of any more I'll be dure to forward them. Peter Jordan May 25 1998 Connie Dunbar * comments: Hi from LaPlata Maryland USA Will be in Ireland next month Anything I should not miss?

May 19 1998 Dan J.J. Kahn As one of the founding members of Rail Way Ahead, a new pro Rail Transport organisation for improving Train Services in Ireland, I would like to make my own contribution to the 21 or so bits of information about Castlebar. My contribution is that: Castlebar has a Rail Station located near the Town Centre, which has a service of about 4 or 5 Intercity Trains, between Westport and Dublin every day. Most trains have a refreshments service on board, and have a guard's van to carry heavy baggage and bicycles. Castlebar Trains also connect at Manulla Junction with a shuttle train to Ballina, which from early next year, will be operated by a new lightweight diesel-Electric multiple unit Train. There is also a long-term plan to reintroduce Regular Passenger Services on the Inter-Regional Route from Athenry to Sligo, via Claremorris. May 19 1998 kilkelly, thomas * Seeking: kilkellys in Castlebar * Details: Twenty-two years ago, I visited Robert and Mame Kilkelly in Castlebar.

If any one can send me more info on the McHale name I would appreciate it greatly. I was always told by my father that the McHale clan was from County Cork. Is this a very common name to Ireland? You have a great web site here and I would love to visit again some time with my father. I know he would enjoy the fact there is a stadium named after the McHale clan and a road too. Thank you, John McHale Kev Coleman April 29 1998 Hello Castlebar, A Fellow county-man here...currently in Co. Limerick...good to see Mayo on the web... Pity about the Information Age thing.... but keep it up anyway !! April 29 1998 Kathleen Brammer I was in Castlebar in December of last year on a visit with my sister. We have family that lived there in the 1800's and were searching for information on them. They were Barretts and Gaughans. We stayed for 2 days at the Rose Garden B&B and were treated as family. Your pubs treated us as royalty and gave us a taste of the town. We wanted to see the Catholic church and walked into Finbar Kelley's funeral and I think the whole town was there. He must have been a wonderful man. Your library was very helpful to us as we searched for information on our family. I just want to say that although it was our first visit to Ireland and to your town, we felt as if we had come home. We hope to return someday soon. thank you all.

After many great times and an odd sad day in C'bar your fine site brought back many fine memories. I sent a response to one of your inquiries that may bear repeating. Hope to hear from everybody over there and see you soon. My Reply to the American looking for info on C'bar: I'm married to a Castlebar woman (Anne Stephens, Greenauns, Ross and have thus been there several times. Stay at the Bed & Breakfast's. I highly suggest Kay McGrath's on the Westport Road. Phone 011 353 94 23329 or Nora Ward's also on that same Road. Excellent fine dining at Ardmore House in Westport, say hi to Pat and Noreen Hoban and Philip the barman. Horseback Riding at Paddy Joe Foy's in Westport. Fishing at Pontoon Bridge Hotel (freshwater) and in Westport (seafishing). Best Pint of Guiness in Mayo (maybe the world) is Johnny McHales Pub on the Pontoon Road C'Bar. If your wife wants to see really nice Euro Fashion theres a small, unpretentious shop called Marguerites in C'Bar with great selections at great prices. Tell Mairead that I sent you. For Irish Sweaters go to Fallers on Main Street, tell Maura Jennings that I sent you. If you want to bring back REAL GOOD IRISH SMOKED SALMON see Padraig Kennedy at Westport Fish and Poultry. Tell Padraig I said hello. Ashford Castle is a 30 minute drive, and must be seen. Go to the Dungeon Bar in Ashford Castle for some really great craic (fun in gaelic). Quick cheap eats at Casey Jones in Castlebar, The Bar at the Pontoon Bridge Hotel, Chipadora, The Davitt, Healy's in Pontoon, and Flanelly's on Main Street. Don't miss day trip's to Connemara, the Cliffs of Moher, Kylemore Abbey, Ballintubber Abbey, and Achill Island. If you have more time allow a couple of days at some of these places. If you're leaving via Shannon a fitting place to say goodbye is Moran's The Weir Oyster Cottage in Clare. Enjoy, Kevin J.
