	Mayo county, Lewis, 1837 description ©Jane Lyons
		Nephin, 2640 feet in height, is, in magnitude and form, extremely grand, its summit being generally enveloped in clouds; it is situated at the extremity of an immense bog, in the centre of which is Lough Conn, and is separated from the rest of the great chain by the deep glen of Kilnabreena.
		Nephin mountain, the strata of which are fully disclosed by the fissures already noticed, is formed of mica slate, of very variable proportions.
		In the mountainous districts, and on the borders of the bog, the habitations are peculiarly wretched, indicating the greatest poverty.

	A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland by Samuel Lewis
		In the mountains of Muskerry-More, consisting principally of schistose rock, and forming a detached portion of the parish, are several thin strata of freestone of very white colour and good quality; and in a rivulet on the south side is a thin seam of coal, which dips very rapidly.
		With the exception of about 1500 acres of mountain or turbary, the land is of good quality and chiefly in pasture; that portion of it which is under tillage produces good crops, and the system of agriculture is improving.
		In 1688 the town was again plundered, but on the approach of the assailants, the inhabitants took refuge in the Carntogher mountains, and subsequently found an asylum in Derry; on this occasion the church, having been appropriated by the enemy as a barrack, was preserved.

	A Short History of County Mayo
		The extensive tracts of blanket bog in North Mayo County contrast with the mountains further south, and illustrate the diversity of scenic panoramas of the county, which vary from valley to valley.
		Further north, the landscape is dominated by Ireland's holy mountain, Croagh Patrick, (765m., 2,510 feet), where thousands of pilgrims annually have worn a path to the summit (where you have the church on the highest altitude in Ireland).
		The view from the summit is enchanting on a clear day; the islands of Inishturk and Inishbofin rise out of the pounding Atlantic waves on the southwest, with Clare Island on the northwest, and the drumlin studded Clew Bay to the north with Achill Island in the background.

		Kenny asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider designating the Nephin Beg range, County Mayo as a national park; if work has been carried out on this proposal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
		In each case the State owns a sufficiently large land area worthy of conservation where man's impact can be kept to a minimum and where the public can visit and appreciate the parks without damaging them.
		It is therefore premature to consider transferring native deer to the Nephin Beg range in Mayo.

		One such ancient routeway, the Tóchar Phádraig (Patrick's Causeway), pre-dates St. Patrick in the 5th century and is thought to have originated at Rath Cruachain in Co. Roscommon and continued as far as Croagh Patrick, outside Westport.
		Another route is the Bangor trail which stretches 28 miles from Newport, through the Nephin Beg mountains, to Bangor Erris.
		Despite such early routeways, Co. Mayo remained largely without a connecting transport system until the 18th century when each parish became responsible for the roads in its own area, resulting in a wide variation in standards and maintenance throughout the county.
