Mayo People of the Year Award recipients for 2024:

Well done to Ms.Leydon, our students and the Mayo Genealogy Group. A fantastic achievement.

Last November the students of St. Joseph’s Community College, Charlestown, and their history teacher, Ann Leydon, together with the Mayo Genealogy Group, published ‘The Revolutionary Women of East Mayo and South Sligo 1918-1923’. Using the recently unveiled records of Military Archives, the students identified a total of 10 local women who had played a prominent part in the War of Independence and the Civil War 1918-1923. We are so proud of Ann, our students and all those involved with the project.
