County Wicklow

Wicklow where I am from is a County of Ireland, Province of Leinster, bounded North by Dublin, our capital city, East by Irish sea, South by Wexford and West by Kildare and Carlow, more or less. its just 32 miles from south to north, and 15 to 26 broad. (Irish.) Area, 311,600 Irish acres, divided into 58 parishes. Great part of this country is mountainous, with a mixture of rocks and bogs, so as to be ill adapted for cultivation; others are well wooded, and some of the valleys fertile. Chief rivers, the Liffey and Slaney. It sends 2 members to parliament. Pop. 115,162.



Arts: Music:







Wicklow County Arts Office and County Wicklow VEC have formed a partnership with a view to making an application to the new National Music Education Programme. The County Development Board at their most recent December meeting have endorsed this proposal. It is their intention to make an application in Round 1 by March 2011 if possible. The National Music Education Programme is being developed by Music Network and Director of the Scheme Rosaleen Molloy. It exists as a result of a philanthropic donation by the donors U2 and the Ireland Funds at a total of €7 million euro. The donors felt that with the existing pilots in Music Education such as the ones in Donegal and Ballyfermott, that Music Network would be best placed nationally to develop a service for music instrumental tuition in Ireland with this funding.





County Wicklow (Cill Mhantáin, "St. Mantan's church")



The county gets its name from the town of Wicklow, whose English name is said to derive from Buí cloch, meaning "yellow stone", perhaps a reference to the gold to be found in the Wicklow mountains. The Irish name, Cill Mhantáin, comes from Killmantan Hill in the same town. The fifth-century saint whose church was said to have stood on the hill is reputed to have been a disciple of St. Patrick. His only appearance in the records is as the subject a rebuke from the national saint for having delayed sharing food with a group of beggars, as Patrick had requested.



The county is dominated by its mountains. Wild and inaccessible for much of history, they provided a refuge for those who wished to escape from Norman and English law. The native Irish families most strongly connected with the region, the O'Byrnes and the O'Tooles, were in fact driven into Wicklow by the encroachments of the Norman newcomers on their original lands in neighbouring Co. Kildare. From their remote mountain strongholds, they posed a continual threat to the city of Dublin until the seventeenth century.



With the continuing expansion of Dublin city over the last forty years, the north of the county has effectively become part of the city suburbs.



Surnames associated with the county include Doyle, Byrne, O'Toole, Kavanagh, Lawlor and Farrar. Only that my father wasn't an Irish in fact I am Delacroix.
