27-Jan-10 Townlands - what's happening?
Kay Muhr, Senior Research Fellow, the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project, QUB is Tempo Historical Society's guest on Thursday 28th January at 8.00pm. There are issues to be addressed such as the failure of DCAL to match fund the Ministry of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs offer of 3 years support for a project to research the townland heritage of Fermanagh and Cavan.

The position of Fermanagh as the only one of the six counties of Northern Ireland to retain the townland as the sole legal address remains unchanged but can it continue to stand alone? It has been proved that adopting road names and numbers causes the townland to be forgotten. The process has gone on for approx 30 years in five of our counties so this is no longer a matter for speculation. Councillors have been invited to the meeting and some have notified of their attendance.

If you have any questions about the issues involved or if you think everyone should adopt road names and numbers we want to hear from you.

If you want to know the meaning of a townland name Kay is our foremost authority on this subject. They are not all conventionally beautiful. For example Drumnameel means ridge of the pismires. Think about being eaten alive on a hot summer's day ......
