Some facts about Scallions, Berks and a couple of Cullens DURING our trip on the time tunnel a number of questions arose, one of a very personal nature pertaining to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ating of scallions!

Here we ask and answer four of those queries â&#x20AC;Ś Question 1 - Why are Carlow people called the scallionaters?

By way of answer we turn to a 'Times Past' cutting from an 'Irish Times' of the 1990s which reproduces an interesting article from its archives of June 1, 1934 concerning the reason why Carlow people are called the scallionaters.

For years I have wondered why the people of Carlow town should be referred to, on occasion, as scallioneaters, especially by the dwellers in neighbouring towns. Now I know, and for the information I am indebted to an old book on the public shelves of the National Library. It was published early in the nineteenth century, and here is an extract: "A hundred acres of land about Carlow are parcelled out in two and three-acre pieces to a number of cottagers, who supply Dublin and most of Leinster with onions. The people are well clothed, in comfortable habitations, and, if their industry was generally practised, the cry of poverty of the Irish peasant would soon cease. The grower of onions divides his garden into quarters, the succession being onions, potatoes, barley and clover.

He puts all the manure he can get on his onions, and he prefers street

scrapings to all other. Here is industry, here is exertion; no price will stop the onion-grower in the purchase of manure."

The Carlow onions may be things of the past, but in Ireland the nickname inspired by those crops of long ago will never die.

Question 2 - Why are Graiguecullen people referred to as Berks?

For the answer to this we have to refer to Michael Brennanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent Rootsweb site devoted to Carlow and Graiguecullen and a post from historian Michael Purcell: Graiguecullen people sometimes wonder from whence came the nick-name, the Berks. The following article was published in the the 2014 Graiguecullen Annual Journal. The article was originally submitted by Pat Purcell for publication in the 1982 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Carlovianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but the journal was not published that year. The article remained unpublished until recently â&#x20AC;Ś A copy was e-mailed to Donal McCartney, Professor Emeritus of Modern History, UCD and a proud Graiguecullen man. He replied: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a former pupil in Graigue Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school in the 1930s I can conďŹ rm that I had often heard Mr Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary refer to us and the people of Graigue as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Berksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, not in any offensive way but almost as an endearing termâ&#x20AC;?.

From the Pat Purcell Papers In 1920 the noted historian and

authority on the history of the Castle and Manor of Carlow, Lord Walter FitzGerald of Kilkea Castle, wrote a letter to a Carlow history researcher, Marlbourgh Clarke Douglas and in what must have been an answer to a question posed by Douglas Fitzgerald, repliedâ&#x20AC;?

Circa 1475 Carlow Castle and Manor of Carlow were granted to the members of the Berekley and Mowbray families. In 1484 Sir William Berkeley was Lord of the Manor of Carlow and held the title Viscount of Catherlough.

In 1489 Maurice Berkeley owned portion of the Carlow estates. The following year he had a disagreement over land with his cousins, the Mowbrays, much to the displeasure of King Henry VII. As a result Maurice Berkeley was left holding â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Bridge Castle with one tower on the west of the Barrow opposite the Castle of Catherlough among the Irishryâ&#x20AC;?.

In time the people living on this side of the river Barrow and who supported Maurice Berkeley came to be called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Berksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a table they gladly embraced to indicate they were not supporters of the Crown but proud Irishmen.

One hundred years later, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth the First it was stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They that dwelt west of the Barrow - dwell west of English lawâ&#x20AC;?.

In 1925 Fitzgeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter was passed to a schoolmaster in Graigue

(not yet known as Graiguecullen), the legendary and much respected Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary, who reintroduced the moniker to his pupils. He took great delight in referring to several generations of Graiguecullen school goes as â&#x20AC;&#x2122;The Berksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Question 3 - When did Graigue become Graiguecullen?

Graigue belonged to the Civil Parish of Sletty and its correct full name was Slettygraigue. The present name of Graiguecullen dates back to the 1920s when it was renamed in memory of Fr Hugh Cullen, a much loved local priest who died in 1917.

Bishop Matthew Cullen

Question 4 - Is the Cullen of Graiguecullen and the Cullen of Dr (now Netwatch) Cullen Park one and the same Cullen?

No, Graigue, as stated above was renamed after Fr Hugh Cullen, who passed away in 1917, the Carlow County Grounds was opened in 1936 and was originally christened Bishop Cullen Park, after the Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin who died in January of that year.

We believe this is the ďŹ rst time the two clergymen Cullenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have had their photos published together, another ďŹ rst for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Carlow Courierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!

Album of the week

Everything Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Come to Expect, by The Last Shadow Puppets A lot has changed between The Last Shadow Puppetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2008 debut and this long-awaited follow-up from Alex Turner and Miles Kane.

Unlike their debut,â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everything Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Come To Expectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fixated on the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s baroque-pop of Scott Walker and David Axelrod, although a different vibe and era â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s soft-rock and blue-eyed soul â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does prevail in places. Owen Pallett is the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsung hero with his sweeping, cinematic string arrangements.

8

Game of the week

Laid to rest just a week apart earlier this year, brothers-in-law Maurice Doogue and Tom Doyle, standing, while great friend Paul Delaney avails of Deane’s window sill to relax. Many thanks to Tom’s son-in-law Brian O’Donovan for the fantastic photographs and renewed sympathy to the Doyle and Doogue families on their recent bereavements.

1916-2016 Carlow County Finals re-enactment PROMISES to be a great afternoon and evening, competing teams parading behind Killeshin and Scoil Mhuire bands from the Haymarket and the hubbub of a retro Dublin Street to the scene of the action … Netwatch Cullen Park.

Parade leaves at 4pm, see below for build up and a look back at the finals of a century ago …
