What is a Society?

Societies are run by students for the benefit of students. A Society is a vol-untary group of students that come together and are focused on running artistic, creative, social awareness and general interest groups.

Societies are a great way to keep a balance between the academic and so-cial aspects of college life. In the words of a past Society member, “you’ve got to make things happen, and that’s what Societies do, they make things happen and they change the landscape and the mindscape of attending IT Tralee”.

Ray Cuddihy, Interactive Multimedia Graduate

Benefits of joining a Society?

Societies are FREE to join!! They help you to develop new skills beyond your course of study. Societies are a great way to meet new people with similar interests and make life-long friendships. Enhance your opportunities for future careers as the skills gained through active involvement in Societies could set you apart from other applicants in an interview or work experi-ence.

The 1600s THROUGH MODERN TIMES

Although Oliver Cromwell himself never came to the Dingle Peninsula, his army under Sadler and Le Hunt finally ended any Irish resistance in 1649-50. The final stand was made at Minard Castle, where four gunpowder charges were placed at the castle walls after the occupants had run out of ammunition. The castle was structurally damaged in the blast and all of the occupants killed.

From the mid 17th century until the 1920s, the Dingle Peninsula was controlled by Lord Ventry (Mullen was the family name), who had his family residence at Baile Goilán, later renamed as Burnham Estate. The house is now an Irish-speaking boarding school for girls, Coláiste Íde. There is a collection of ogham stones on the grounds of the estate, along with some exotic and unusual trees and plants, including a plantation of bamboo.

Eask Tower The period of Landlordism was generally a turbulent time on the Dingle Peninsula, with evictions and land agitation. One of the most tragic events to occur during this time was the famine of 1845-48. Although there were shorter periods of famine in various parts of Ireland up until 1928, it is the period between 1845 and 1848 which is today referred to as the Great Famine. During this period the potato crop failed, which was the stable diet of the majority of the population. Poor housing and disease, along with hunger, led to the deaths of 1,500,000 people, and at least the same number again left Ireland, heading mostly for North America. In the 1830s the population of Ireland was just under 8,000,000. By the 1850s it was down to 4,000,000. In the Dingle Poorhouse alone, up to 5,000 people died and were buried in the pauper’s burial ground at the foot of Cnoc a’Chairn, which overlooks Dingle town. No part of the peninsula escaped the ravages of the fam-ine, and despite the coastal nature of the area, fishing was not developed enough to exploit the fish in the deeper waters off the coast. Much has been written in the recent past on the famine as part of its 150th commemoration, but it remains an astounding fact that Ireland was exporting wheat during the bleakest and hungriest years of its history.

After the trauma of the famine, nationalist Ireland was exhausted. Not until the 1870s does the tra-dition of populist nationalism reassert itself. A campaign to reestablish an Irish Parliament which would control domestic affairs was started in 1870 under the leadership of a protestant barrister named Isaac Butt. Its objective was to achieve home rule for Ireland within the United Kingdom. Butt was later replaced by Charles Stewart Parnell, who is often regarded as the uncrowned King of Ireland. Parnell was a formidable leader who transformed the Home Rulers into the Irish Parlia-mentary Party. He also became involved with the Irish National Land League, and formed a close working relationship with Michael Davitt, the founder of the Land League. Between them they were to put the issue of home rule firmly on the British agenda. Unfortunately, Parnell was to fall foul of the Irish hierarchy, due to the fact that he was living with a married woman, Kitty O’Shea. His fall was of tragic proportions and it poisoned the life of nationalist Ireland for a generation. He was only 45 when he died.

The fall of Parnell coincided with what is usually called the cultural revival in nationalist Ireland. Just as politics and the land question had quickened in the 1880s, so did the other elements which contribut-ed to the birth of the modern Irish State some 40 years later. Possibly the most defining moment in the formation of the Irish State was the 1916 Easter Rebellion. With seven members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in command, the Fenians planned an armed uprising while Britain was at war. Although a failed insurrection, it further weakened the legitimacy of British rule in nationalist Ireland, especially as all of the leaders, except for de Valera, were executed.

A War of Independence followed, which was finally resolved in “The Treaty”, which was to give the Re-public of Ireland 26 of its 32 counties. The remaining six counties remained under the control of Eng-land. Almost inevitably a civil war ensued, in which many potential leaders were killed.

FunghiDingle, a town that sits in the heart of the Dingle Peninsula, is a nice little sea port with craft shops, lots of brightly painted pubs, cafes and seafood restaurants. This little town is ideally situated for long walking tours through the scenic landscape, and in the evenings you can enjoy traditional Irish music in one of Dingle’s quaint pubs.

Most people, however, come here to see Funghi. Funghi, the bottlenose dolphin, has been living in Dingle Bay since 1983, and you can book a boat trip to see him or even hire a wet suit and swim with Funghi. People who have swum with the dolphin tell that Funghi really enjoys human company. The people in Dingle are happy to have their dolphin, but they also know that Funghi is a wild animal and free to leave Dingle Bay at any time.
