The Strong Men Of Cloghoula
The strong men of Cloghoula of them you ought to know
Bill Twomey, Neilus Sweeney the Buckleys Noel, Dan and Joe
In their prime known and famous many miles from Millstreet
At tug of war and athletics and football they were the men to beat.
The strong men of Cloghoula they were as good as gold
But time takes cares of everyone and they too did grow old
Yet better than them it would seem would be quite hard to find
Quite generous of spirit and they were good and kind.

Oh I Love Cloghoula Countryside
Oh I love Cloghoula countryside when wild flowers are in bloom
Just outside the Town of Millstreet on the way out towards Macroom
When the birds are singing gaily and new leaves are on the trees
And the brown bog larks are piping o’er the bogland of Gneeves.
Oh I love you sweet Kilmeedy at the back of Clara hill
I have always been in love with you and doubtless I always will
You are beautiful and peaceful and your fields are evergreen
And you wake to greet each dawning day like a rare beauty queen.

Ann Lane’s photographic journal of public art
Ann Lane (formerly of Ballinatona, Millstreet) has spent four years and traveled over 14,000 miles on an odyssey to catalog the country’s main pieces of public art. She said it was her initial encounter with Capall Mór, the ferro-cement over a steel structure, near Tralee, that depicts a Celtic war horse with broken chains around its forelegs, signifying freedom, which inspired her to undertake the task of cataloging the works …
This is from an article in the Irish Examiner today(5th Aug) describing her passion for public art, and her journey to this stage.
She featured on RTE Radio 1 yesterday morning (4th Aug) on the Kathryn Thomas Summer On One show, which can be heard in the podcast at the top of this page. (from 9:13 to 11:10 – starts just before the middle of the audio).
Ann’s passion was featured in an article on the Global Post from September ’09, and it shows some of the wonderful photography she has taken.
Ann Lane’s photographic journal of public art will be published this autumn by Wordwell Books.
with thanks to Kevin for the info on this article
