This is a comprehensive history of the Gribbin (Gribben/Gribbon) family. The author traces his own family line back to the early nineteenth century, setting it within the context of the wider Gribbin family story. He then tracks back through time to pinpoint Gribbins wherever they appear in the record. He has trawled the available sources, compiling the data in order to establish where all the Gribbins of the world were living during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (mostly in Ulster is the short answer), what they were doing and their socio-economic status. He is particularly keen to record any distinctive detail which might bring these Gribbin ancestors to life for the reader. In the process, we learn the history of Ulster and of those who emigrated from it; the politics, the wars, the tribulations and the daily lives of Gribbins down through the centuries. We trace their movements, their involvement in politics and how social/political change affected them. This is a rich tapestry which includes small Catholic farmers, Protestant industrialists, reforming doctors, learned scribes, soldiers and rebels, reformers and priests, all of them caught up in the turbulent whirlwind of Irish history.

The Author Events Series presents Paul Muldoon | Joy in Service on Rue Tagore: Poems REGISTER In Conversation with Daisy Fried Since his 1973 debut, New Weather, Paul Muldoon has created some of the most original and memorable poetry of the past half century. Joy in Service on Rue Tagore sees him writing with the same verve and distinction that have consistently won him the highest accolades. Here, from artichokes to zinc, Muldoon navigates an alphabet of image and history, through barleymen and Irish slavers to the last running wolf in Ulster. The search involves the accumulated bric-a-brac of a life, and a reckoning along the way of gains against loss. In the poet's skillful hands, ancient maps are unfurled and brought into focus--the aggregation of Imperial Rome and the dismantling of Standard Oil, the pogroms of a Ukrainian ravine and of a Belfast shipyard. Through modern medicine and warfare, disaster and repair, these poems are electric in their energy, while profoundly humane in their line of inquiry. Paul Muldoon was born in County Armagh in 1951. He now lives in New York. A former radio and television producer for the BBC in Belfast, he has taught at Princeton University for thirty-five years. He is the author of fourteen previous collections of poetry, including Moy Sand and Gravel, for which he won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize. Daisy Fried is the author of five books of poetry: My Destination (forthcoming next year from Flood Editions and Carcanet Press), The Year the City Emptied, Women's Poetry: Poems and Advice, My Brother is Getting Arrested Again, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle, and She Didn't Mean to Do It. She has been awarded Guggenheim, Hodder and Pew Fellowships. A core faculty member in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, and an occasional poetry critic for the New York Times, Poetry Foundation and elsewhere, she has lived in Philadelphia for decades, but will be moving to San Francisco at the end of the summer. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast. Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 5/14/2025)
A bavarian Stranded in Ireland - Tips und Tricks fuer Deutschsprachige zum Leben in Irland

Let us know what's on your mindKeith Shorten invites us inside the commercial engine room of Ulster Rugby, revealing how his unlikely path from KPMG accountant to global entertainment executive with AEG perfectly prepared him for the challenges of provincial rugby. The Head of Commercial shares candid insights about arriving at Ulster during a perfect storm of change - the conclusion of their long-standing Kingspan partnership, a head coach departure, and CEO transition all within his first three months. Rather than being deterred, Shorten's background working with iconic venues like the O2 Arena and Hyde Park Festivals helped him navigate these waters while bringing fresh perspective to Ulster's commercial strategy.What really shines through is the fascinating collaborative relationship between fiercely competitive Irish rugby provinces. While Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht battle for supremacy on the pitch, their commercial teams work closely behind the scenes. "Four voices are very much stronger than one," Shorten explains, as they tackle common challenges together.The conversation reveals Ulster's commitment to growing women's rugby and the commercial opportunities it presents. We also discovered how Shorten helped create Ulster Rugby's thriving Business Club, which consistently attracts 150 attendees representing 100+ companies.Between reflections on his personal rugby journey (including memories of carrying Cornettos and celebrating Ulster's 1999 European triumph), Shorten shares exciting developments, including the new SAM Mouldings shirt sponsorship and a soon-to-be-revealed stadium naming rights partner.

A bavarian Stranded in Ireland - Tips und Tricks fuer Deutschsprachige zum Leben in Irland
Hallo liebe Zuhörer, heute wartet mit Folge 58 ein wahnsinnig spannendes Thema auf uns, nicht nur ist es die letzte Etappe der Geschichte Irlands - es ist auch der Übergang zum Irland, das wir heute sehen - und damit geballte Information, die nicht nur für all diejenigen, welche sich für Irland aus kultureller und historischer Sicht interessieren höchst relevant ist, sondern ganz besonders auch die, die mit dem Gedanken spielen auf die grüne Insel zu ziehen und wissen wollen, was sie hierzulande erwartet - ich bin mir genauso sicher, dass auch der ein oder andere, der bereits in diesem schönen Land lebt, und wissen will, was es zu dem macht, was es heute ist, sicher noch einiges lernt. Wir schauen uns den Zeitabschnitt 1998-2025 an, direkt anknüpfend an das Karfreitagsabkommen, den Wandel hin von einem eher strukturschwachen Land mit hohen Arbeitslosen - und Armutsquoten hin zu einer der reichsten Nationen der Erde - und das Bald darauf durch eine globale Wirtschaftskrise diesen Kreislauf nochmal durchlief. Die Einzelnen Themen sehen wie folgt aus :Rahmenbedingungen und exponentielles Wirtschaftswachstum, Gesellschaftlicher Wandel erste Warnungen und Zerfall des Immobilien- und Finanzsektors Internationale Unterstützung, drastischer Sparkurs und langsamer Wiederaufschwung progressives, digitaler werdendes Irland und moderne, diverse Gesellschaft Relevant sind diese Quellen: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irland_seit_1949https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertie_Ahernhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurokrisehttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/celtictiger.asphttps://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/what-caused-the-celtic-tiger-phenomenon-1.950806https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpersonalfinance/comments/tzpe28/comparing_the_celtic_tiger_years_and_our_current/https://ireland.representation.ec.europa.eu/news-and-events/news/circumstances-behind-irelands-bailout-late-naughties-2019-04-06_enhttps://www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/3rd-+-4th-class/history/history-the-full-story/ireland-in-modern-times/celtic-tiger-years/https://www.tcd.ie/Economics/assets/pdf/MScEPS/Money%20and%20Banking/moneynamking%20week12.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_property_bubblehttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enda_Kennyhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_VaradkarGerne könnt Ihr der Seite zum Podcast auf Pinterest, Instagram oder Facebook folgen : https://www.pinterest.ie/abavarianstrandedinireland/https://www.instagram.com/a_bavarian_stranded_in_ireland/https://www.facebook.com/A-Bavarian-stranded-in-Ireland-107125391828067Um bequem Updates zu neuen Folgen und allen anderen Themen rund um den Podcast bequem direkt auf euer Handy zu erhalten, könnt Ihr ab sofort auch den WhatsApp Channel zum Podcast abonnieren: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1VOder mir jederzeit eine Email zukommen lassen. abavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.comSchaut auch gerne mal auf der Website vorbei: abavarianstrandedinireland.com
#stormersrugby #unitedrugbychampionship #daveewers #storytimepodcast This week, we're joined by legendary forward Dave Ewers — a true rugby journeyman with a story that spans continents. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Dave moved to the UK in high school and went on to carve out a dominant career with Exeter Chiefs, winning back-to-back Premiership titles and becoming one of the most feared ball carriers in the game. After a stint with Ulster, he made a move back to the southern hemisphere, joining the Stormers in Cape Town.In this episode, we dive into life growing up in Zimbabwe, the cultural shift of moving to the UK, his incredible run with Exeter, and his decision to move to Cape Town. We also get personal — talking about life after rugby, retirement plans, and his friendship with Steven and Aimee Kitshoff.

In Ballymena this week, those who have come from abroad to make their lives in the town were putting union jacks in the window in the hope it would prevent them being attacked.In the random and brutal rioting that saw the homes and businesses of foreigners attacked and terrorised this was they did to protect themselves and their families. On Free State today, Joe and Dion ask what is the root cause of this savagery which the police described as feral. Is it hatred or fear, supremacy or inferiority? Joe looks at how hate has been transferred from nationalists to other minorities - with plenty held back for nationalists too and projects like Casement Park. Hosted on Acast.

Eoghan is joined by Stevie and Jake Lennox of Belfast's Junk Drawer, who released their second album Days of Heaven on June 6 via Pizza Pizza Records. Formed in 2015 alongside Brian Coney and Rory Dee, Junk Drawer blend Weezer-esque riffs, shoegaze and indie rock. Fresh off an eight-date tour of Ireland with Cola and M(h)aol, the brothers reflect on the DIY logistics of putting it all together, the origins of the band and the evolution of their sound, working with producer Chris Ryan, what it means to make "weird, cosmic Ulster music", playing SXSW, the Belfast music scene and lots more.

Stormers head coach John Dobson joins John Maytham to reflect on the team's season in the United Rugby Championship (URC). The conversation covered the team's performance during their UK tour, including a narrow loss to Ulster and the importance of upcoming home games in their playoff push. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

The people on the borders have been forgotten and left out of the story of the partition of Ireland. Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, the three lost counties of Ulster, are both a source of shame and embarrassment for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. They are an unrecognized minority within the largely homogenized Catholic nation of Ireland. They are also the abandoned kin of the people of the six counties of Ulster that comprise Northern Ireland. Listen to University College Dublin Professor Edward Burke, author of Ulster's Lost Counties: Paramilitarism and Loyalism since 1920, and find out why we can't understand the story of the partition of Ireland without including the lost counties.
William Rufus DeVane King was born on April 7, 1786, in Sampson County, North Carolina. His ancestry reached back to some of the earliest European settlers in the Southern colonies. His father, William King, was of Irish descent, with ancestors believed to have emigrated from Ulster to the American colonies in the early 1700s. The King family settled in North Carolina, became landowners, and took part in the political and agricultural life of the region. His grandfather, also named William King, is believed to have fought in the colonial militia during the French and Indian War. William's mother, Margaret DeVane, belonged to a family of French Huguenot and English lineage. The DeVanes had settled in the Carolinas in the early 18th century, escaping religious persecution and bringing with them traditions of independence and agricultural skill. Margaret's father, John DeVane, was a planter and a patriot during the American Revolution. The King and DeVane families were both known for civic involvement, and together, they provided a strong foundation of wealth, status, and public service that would influence William's future path.

Typically left out of the story of the partition of Ireland are the three lost counties of Ulster. These are the counties of Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan that were excluded from what became Northern Ireland despite their historic ties and shared stand against the creation of an independent Irish state. If Dublin and Belfast failed to form closer ties, it is impossible to understand why without considering the lost counties. If the Republic of Ireland struggled to come to terms with its own diversity, the history of the lost countries was a significant impediment. Remembering the lost countries of Ulster with University College Dublin Professor Edward Burke, coming to the June 3rd episode of Realms of Memory.

Things WE feel sure of for ALL Y'ALL … and why.Y'all is a contraction of you-all and is the main 2nd person plural pronoun in Southern American English. The earliest attestations of y'all are found in the Southern Literary Messenger (Richmond, VA) in 1856 and 1858.Things WE desire for YOU'UNS … and why.Yinz is a derivation from the original Scots-Irish "Yin(s)” - meaning you ones, yous ones and ye 'uns, a form of the 2nd person plural that is commonly heard in Scotland, Ulster and parts of Ireland and Northern England.

Michael Conlan grew up in West Belfast and comes from a family steeped in boxing, so it was no surprise that he would follow in his brothers footsteps to Clonard ABC at only 8 years of age. He was always a young boxer who was full of confidence in the ring and winning an Irish title in his first year set him on his way in amateur boxing. Michael opens up about going down the wrong path in his teenage years by drinking and taking various substances from as early as 12-13 years of age. A turning point came when he was selected for the Commonwealth Youth Games at 16. He was told he would have to be drug tested and this was a moment when Michael decided things had to change in his life and from that point, he dedicated himself fully to boxing.Once Michael moved to senior level, he would soon really come to the fore and would win Ulster and Irish senior titles in 2010 and 2011. After reaching the quarter finals of the World Championships in 2011, an Olympic spot in London 2012 was secured. Michael would go on to claim a bronze medal at those unforgettable games after losing to the Cuban who would eventually claim gold. Over the next 3 years, Michael would cement himself in Irish boxing history by winning Commonwealth, European and World senior gold medals and he goes into depth about the journey to winning these major titles. Going into the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, he was the poster boy of Irish sport and alongside Katie Taylor was the favourite to claim a gold medal for Ireland. We go into depth about the build up to the hugely controversial quarter final defeat to Russian, Vladimir Nikitin. Who can forget the famous middle finger salute to the judges and the raw interview he gave to RTE straight after the fight. Michael speaks from the heart on his amateur career and there are plenty of funny stories thrown in there as well. Listen to part 1 today of our 2 part special episode.

When King James VI of Scotland became James I of England, he brought sweeping changes to the Anglo-Scottish Borders and Ulster that few today connect to the collapse of kin-based society in the Scottish Lowlands. In this episode, we explore how the brutal suppression of the Border Reivers, combined with the Ulster Plantation, disrupted centuries-old clan ties, dismantled local power structures, and reshaped Lowland identity.MyHeritage 14-day Free TrialLet me know if you're interested in the Scottish Clans tour of Scotland, a Clandanna, or a Battle Shirt!Email me: thescottishclans@gmail.comScottish Clans WebsiteSupport Scottish Clans on Patreon

Statue of Bobby Sands to be unveiledOn May 4 at 3pm, a statue of Bobby Sands will be unveiled in the Republican Memorial Garden in Twinbrook, where Bobby lived. The organisers of the event, all local republican activists and all inspired by the courage and self-sacrifice of Bobby and his comrades, have worked hard over recent years to raise the funds for the statue. Former hunger striker Pat Sheehan who spent 55 days on the 1981 hunger strike will speak about Bobby and his comrades who died.There will also be a Bobby Sands Mountain Walk that morning and the annual Bobby Sands lecture will be given that evening by Pat Sheehan in the Andersonstown Social Club.Bobby was the first of ten republican hunger strikers to die during the H-Block hunger strike of 1981. He died on May 5. The others were: Francis Hughes; Raymond McCreesh; Patsy O'Hara; Joe McDonnell; Kieran Doherty TD; Kevin Lynch; Martin Hurson; Tom McElwee; and Mickey Devine. Nor should we forget Michael Gaughan 1974 and Frank Stagg 1976 who died on hunger strike in prisons in England.I knew Bobby and Francie Hughes, Kieran Doherty and Joe McDonnell. I also met Tom McElwee and Mickey Devine on a visit to the prison hospital in July 1981. They were all ordinary young working class men. Joe McDonnell at 30 was the eldest. The rest were all in their 20s. In extraordinary times they revealed a depth of resolve that few are ever called upon to demonstrate.The RefugeesA hurried worried people, a human stampede to God knows where,Were spat out from the back streets, for God knows who to care.Their little kitchen houses lit up the night around about‘For God and Ulster' was the reason that the refugees were driven out. Oh little humble homes where the people hugged the open fire,Oil-clothed floors and little ornamented cabinets that the neighbours would admire,The little backyard havens where the youngsters would playAnd in the hall the little font of holy water to bless you on your way! Pope FrancisThe funeral last Saturday of Pope Francis was an occasion to mourn the passing of a leader who championed progressive causes, stood up for those most marginalised and vulnerable while opening the door to reform within the Church. There is much more to be done to make the Church democratic. I am among those who are alienated by the deep absence of equality in the Church's structures. Banning women from the priesthood is totally unacceptable as is the opulence of some institutions and the unaccountability of church leaders, particularly over the treatment of children and vulnerable people. But still there are good priests and nuns and many decent people doing their best to make amends. They include Pope Francis. The many stories of his deep sense of compassion for the sick and vulnerable and those who are victim of abuse and violence have filled the airwaves and social media since his death. His loss is a huge blow to the institutional Church which often seems aloof to the trials and tribulations of ordinary people while being less than open about the sins of some within its own ranks.
