Can you help - following are some of the queries we get on our community web - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net?

I am trying to find out more about Innishannon Historical Society. Please can you send me contact for Chair, Secretary and committee members.
Thanks Marie-Louise Holland - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net

Could you please put me in touch with a local historian who might be able to help me concerning the site of the old Hodder house called Coolmorein (circa 1680-1690). It was on the banks of the Bandon river, below Innishannon. Thanks, Kae Lewis - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net

Hi there, I’m attending a wedding on Friday August the 22nd   and was hoping to get to a Hair Salon on the morning of the wedding, we are staying in Bridgewater House B&B (Dramkeen?) about 1½ Kilometers from Innishannon itself, could you help me with some information - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net

I am a Failte Ireland National Tour Guide and I am required, as we drive along the roads of Ireland, to point-out all the different cities, towns and villages that we pass through.  When pointing-out the locations we are also required to give the Irish name for that location, and also the meaning of the Irish name. I have a problem with the name for Innishannon and mabey you might be able to help me. The name of the village is Innishannon.  The guide books that I have consulted give the Irish for this as 'Inis Eonain'.  My knowledge of the Irish language is as follows: Inis means a field or meadow.  So Innishannon should translate as Eonain's field or meadow.  Where did the 'hannon' part of the word come from, what does it mean, and what is its significance in the name of the village. I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give me in this matter - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net 
 

Hello, I will be visiting Ireland in May.  My great grandfather was born in Innishannon.  Could you give me any leads on local information such as birth records, baptism,marriage, etc.  I am sure he was Roman Catholic.  His name was Daniel Joseph Mulcahy and he was born about 1859. Thank you very much. Judy Kiser - if you can help please e-mail info@innishannon.net

May 2008: Alice Taylor's new book is out.

Once-vibrant villages and towns are empty, their former inhabitants now in housing estates built in the surrounding countryside, from which they emerge to drive their children to school and crawl on traffic-choked roads to go to work. No one walks to the school or shops, and most of the village shops have been put out of business by hypermarkets and shopping centres that stand surrounded by massive car parks beside main roads. Village post offices, once vital social gathering places, have been closed.

In a series of vignettes of life in her own village, Alice Taylor reasserts the priorities of public space and social community. The Parish evokes and explores the positive values of community, values that could be renewed and reinvigorated in a present and future that achieves harmony between relative affluence and the pressing need to respect the environment.
