The County Roscommon Hunt was reformed in the Summer of 1999. The idea to reform is credited to Michael Curley. Michael, a native of Portumna used to own a farm close to Flowerhill. Due to career demands Michael moved to Roscommon some years ago, but continued to hunt with the East Galway Hunt. While hunting one day he mentioned his interest in reforming the County Roscommon Hunt to a man by the name of Morgan McElligot. Morgan recommended that Michael speak to Oliver Walsh in Flowerhill who had a pack of hounds. These three men got together and invited Vincent Shields to help organise the reformation. A meeting was held in the Summer of 1999, a committee picked, roles decided, and joint masters appointed. Vincent Shields, Morgan McElligot and a third man (Eoghan Carroll) were the joint masters appointed for the first season. Michael Curley was appointed chairman and Oliver Walsh Hunts Man and Master of the Hunt. Present masters are Mr. Vincent
Shields MFH, Mr. Morgan McElligot MFH, Mr. Jack Kirby MFH,
Mr. James Brown MFH and Mr. John Flynn MFH. Whips: Mrs:
Kim Walsh, Mr. Vincent Collins, David Molloy, Miss: Megan
Evans and Miss: Orla Healy. Field master: Mr. John
Morrissey.
