	Collooney Methodist Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Collooney is a village about 7 miles south of Sligo.
		Some of the Methodists in Collooney say that they are still following the advice of John Wesley, who urged his followers to attend their local parish church as well as meeting in the early Methodist meeting-houses.
		As Collooney church is nearest to the centre of this widespread circuit, it is often the venue for circuit gatherings, which swell the small congregation on such occasions.

		This stunning event was organised by the 1798 Collooney Commemoration Committee as part of the Nationwide programme of events to commemorate the bi-centenary of the 1798 Rebellion by the United Irishmen, and the battle itself was very significant in the events of 1798.
		The sight of British Crown Forces in their redcoats on the streets of Collooney might have seemed eerie to some, but the troops this time were accorded the best of welcomes and cordiality.
		The craic in the evening's entertainment was also an improbable sight as all the nationalities joined in the festivities and contributed their own national examples of culture in music, song and dance.

		The sight worth stopping for in the village of COLLOONEY, five miles south of Sligo where the N4 and N17 separate, is the Teeling Monument at the northern entrance to the village, built to commemorate Bartholomew Teeling, hero of the Battle of Carricknagat.
		The battle was fought nearby during the rebellion of 1798, when a combined Franco-Irish force – on its way from Killala in County Mayo, where the French had landed, to Ballinamuck in County Longford – was held up by a single strategically placed English gun.
		Close to Collooney is the battlemented Markree Castle, of seventeenth-century origins but with grandiose Victorian extensions, which is still the home of the Coopers, who used to be Sligo's most powerful Anglo-Irish family.

	The Battle of the Curlieus 1599
		This event was staged to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Battle, a decisive engagement in Irish history, as it was the last Battle that the Irish Gaelic Clans won on Irish soil before their final defeat at Kinsale two years later.
		The background to the conflict was complicated, but one of the main reasons it occurred, was that the Lord lieutenant, heard news that Sir Donagh O'Connor Sligo, a friend and ally of the Crown, was trapped in his castle at Collooney after O'Donnell lay siege to it.
		O'Donnell was prepared for this and left men on the coast to look out and also left a body of troops at Collooney to keep O'Connor Sligo from escaping and then encamped in the Bricklieves.

	The Other Burma Road
		Although severed at Collooney Junction and with less than straightforward access at the Claremorris end the rail line remains entirely intact, although covered in places by tarred road crossings.
		The line, or "permanent way" as it is more correctly described, appears to be in remarkably good condition throughout, with many stretches free of encroaching vegetation and any attempts by nature to reclaim the track-bed.
		In the course of undertaking this task, and whilst poking around in undergrowth by a road crossing near Collooney Station (GS and WR that is - Collooney having, at its "peak", 2 other stations, unique for a small village in Ireland!) I discovered a fine cast iron railway sign relating to the road crossing.
