Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa, a brief history

Thu, Jan 23, 2020

In 1852, the British war department bought lands at Renmore with the idea of building a new military barracks to replace the existing ones in the city, the Shambles and the Castle Barracks.

They were occupied by the Royal Irish Fusiliers and later by the Connaught Rangers.

The war against tuberculosis in the west

Thu, Jan 23, 2020

Week II
It is hard to imagine today the scourge of tuberculosis (TB) that was at epidemic proportions throughout Ireland from the mid 1850s right up to the 1960s. Not only did it kill indiscriminately, but families whose members may have contacted the disease were shunned and isolated by their communities. It was a serious social and medical catastrophe. In the 1940s the challenge to effectively tackle this widespread disease was dramatically helped by not only an understanding as to how the disease could be curtailed, but also by the discovery of new drugs notably streptomycin and penicillin. Even so up to the early 1950s there were still approximately 7,000 new cases every year. It was a long battle.
