Bruno Boute, a graduate of Leuven University, has recently published
a study of the involvement of academic institutions with the benefice system in
the early modern period. In this book he focuses on an anomaly: medieval
privileges that provided academics at Leuven with access to the Post-Tridentine clerical job market. Despite their
anachronistic flavour in a regional job market characterised by its openness
for graduates, these privileges were considered vital for the survival of the
university and of Catholicism....

The seventeenth-century altar plate, associated with Archbishop Malachy O'Queely of Tuam (c.1586-1645) had a chequered history. It is probable that it was commissioned by O'Queely, who was a native of Clare and educated in Paris. He became archbishop in 1630 and was killed in battle during the Confederate Wars in the 1640s. The plate may have been subsequently sent to the Continent for safe keeping during the troubled 1650s.It turned up in Spain in 1819. It had come into the possession of Henry Lynch, a native of Clogher House in the parish of Burriscara....

The archaeologist Michael Gibbons has described the discovery of a previously unobserved flight of steps on the monastic island of Sceilig Mhichíl (Skeillig Michael) as significant. It may point, he conjectures, to settlement on the island before the well-know monastic complex was established there from the sixth century AD. Traditionally high points, like Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, are associated with St Michael. The accompanying image, which features a window in one of the dry-stone oratories on the island and includes a view of Little Skeillig, was taken by Thomas O'Connor....
