The Ralahine Commune was a farming and manufacturing cooperative society established in 1831 near Newmarket-on-Fergus on the estate of John Scott Vandeleur, son of Col. Vandeleur.
It was a unique phenomenon in Irish history and generated much international attention during its existence. While the cooperative lasted only two years, its legacy has continued to generate much commentary.
John O'Brien is a photographer, former bookseller and local history enthusiast. A founder member of the Shannon Archaeological and Historical Society, he has contributed articles to its annual journal, The Other Clare, and was editor of the journal on a number of occasions. He also co-published with Sean Spellissey, books, including 'Clare, County of Contrast' and 'Limerick, The Rich Land.'
KDHS lectures are free to members, EUR5 for non-members, payable on the night only. New members are welcome. The annual membership fee (July-June) is EUR20.

This play is a multi faceted Regency Whodunit that invites the audience to make up its own mind. Staged to mark the bicentenary of her death, “the eyewitness accounts” adopts the style of a Victorian melodrama to recount this infamous tale of lust.
NATIONAL HERITAGE WEEK event:
TURRET LODGE, KILRUSH - Challenges
Wednesday, 21 August 2019 from 19:00-20:30 UTC+01
Teach Cheoil, Grace Street, Kilrush, County Clare
On Wednesday 21 August, at the earlier than usual time of 7 p.m., there will be a lecture entitled "Turret Lodge, Kilrush - Challenges", by David Humphries, director of Architectural Conservation Professionals, followed by an interactive discussion on the sustainable/economic reuse of derelict historic buildings, specifically Turret Lodge, Kilrush.
David will speak on a case study of the Aran Sweater, Market Quay St., Galway project with reference to the lessons learnt that can be applied to the restoration of the Turret Lodge, Kilrush - a project which is jointly funded by the Heritage Council under the Historic Towns Initiative 2019 and Clare County Council. Other interested parties in attendance will participate in the discussion.
This National Heritage Week event is an integral part of the Historic Towns Initiative funding for restoration of the building.
You may have noticed that work has finally begun on the Turret Lodge project in the last couple of weeks.
