One of the most famous groups of outlaws in eighteenth century Ireland were a band of highwaymen and robbers known as the Kellymount gang (from Co Kilkenny). Led by Lawrence Brennan, this band of 20-30 outlaws were responsible for countless daring robberies in Kilkenny and its various surround- ing counties in the late 1730’s. Their ‘end’, unsurprisingly, was a bloody one! The gang had been raiding various houses and farms in north Tipperary in August 1740 when they were challenged unexpectedly by a posse of local gentry. In an effort to avoid capture, the gang split-up. The posse were undeterred however, and in an extraordinary chase they were relentlessly pursued into south-east Galway. The following article from the ‘Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal’ captures the drama of the gang’s final stand and capture following a shoot-out in Woodford. ’ Highwaymen’ from http://www.criminals.lt/list.php?c=17english The newspapers celebrated the capture of the men as being the ‘breaking’ of the gang and clearing the way (of Highwaymen) for travel- lers; as well as lamenting the death of Otway. While Brennan’s wounds were initially ‘not thought to be mortal’, one is left to guess at the level of care he received as after being taken to Clonmel prison he soon died from his wounds. Little mercy was shown to the others when captured. For example, when Darcy was captured he was tried and hanged; following which his head was put on display at the courthouse. ‘Zero tolerance’ indeed!

By Gerard Corcoran Fr Joseph Corcoran was born in 1850 in Cloonshease House and came to Portumna in 1886 having spent the first four months of his priesthood in the parish of Lusmagh. He spent the rest of his life in the parish of Portumna becoming Parish Priest in 1889. He rarely left the Parish except to attend the annual Maynooth reunion, a pilgrimage to Lourdes and a visit to Rome in 1903. On his return from there Dr Healy appointed him vicar general of the Diocese. Fr Joseph Corcoran Extract from the Connacht Tribune In the second half of the nineteenth century the dead of the poor and the destitute of the parish were being buried in Cal- vary Cemetery. There was reluctance on behalf of some of the people of Portumna to have their dead interred there. Fr Corcoran on becoming aware of this, declared that he himself wished to be buried in Calvary and encouraged his parish- ioners to bury their dead there also. This was enough to have the desired effect. In 1907 he was chairman of the national demonstration in Portumna at which John Redmond spoke, to highlight the evictions on the Clanrickarde estate and also chaired another meeting in 1911 at which John Dillon was the guest speaker. It was a great source of joy to Fr. Corcoran to have lived to see the dispossessed tenants reinstated to their hold- ings. He was involved in setting up the Electrical Light System for the town of Portumna but had passed from this life before it became operational. He died on December 3rd 1919 and was laid to rest as requested in Calvary Cemetery where his parishioners erected a carved statue of his patron “St Joseph” in his honour. It is said that he was instrumental in making the match between his brother Stephen in Cloonshease and Bridget Walsh in Ballymacegan. He also helped restore Cloonshease house adding a second story and new entrance. Tribute from the people of Portumna Article extract from the Connacht Tribune Fr Dermot Corcoran Redwood Castle Fr Dermot Corcoran born in Ballymacegan, Lorrha, Co. Tipperary (son of Stephen, nephew of Fr Joseph Corcoran of Portumna) studied for the priesthood at the Carmelite Novitiate in Loughrea and St Kieran’s College Kilkenny on leaving secondary school. He was ordained a priest in 1937 and served his entire ministry in England working in Stoke-on Trent, Tipton, Sellyoak, Stowerbridge and finally as Parish Priest of Stechford in Birmingham. He re- tired in 1977. Despite his many years living away, Fr Dermot never lost his love for Ballymacegan and made trips home at least twice a year. His two great passions, outside of his priestly duties, were hurling and the local history of Ballymacegan and Redwood. He was a generous sponsor of the Lorrha Hurling Club and never missed an All- Ireland Hurling Final. His involvement in local history was well known and he had a particular interest in Red- wood Castle and it’s famous school of Law and Learning. One of it’s pupils was Brother Michael O’Cleary who studied there in 1636 and later became the chief of the Four Masters who compiled the Annals of the History of Ireland. Some years ago, Fr Dermot wrote a Lament of that period and a framed copy of it is displayed in Redwood Castle. *** Gerard Corcoran the author of this article was instrumental in organising a homecoming of twenty members of the Clonfert Corcoran clan and their extended family from Minnesota for “The Gathering”. The Corcoran group were treated to a Week of Welcomes in August from their Irish cousins in the parishes of Rathcabbin, Lorrha, Portumna, Eyrecourt, Clonfert, Meelick and further afield. Bill Corcoran the patriarch of the clan in the US was the focus of a TV documentary filmed for TG4 by ‘Red Pepper Productions’. The documentary is due to be broadcast on TG4 in the late autumn. Bills ancestor Michael Corcoran left Clonfert in 1844 just at the onset of the Famine. The Cor- coran ancestral burial place is in Clonfert graveyard. It is one of the places of special family significance that Bill and his family were taken to. All the Corcoran families involved can trace their common ancestry back to Hugh Corcoran of Clonfert. The inscription on his headstone reads: Erected by Thos Corcoran in memory of his Father Hugh Corcoran who died Novbr 25th 1768 aged 50 yrs.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • The Catholic Church and Social Policy160
    6. The Catholic Church and Social Policy160 Tony Fahey Introduction The influence of the Catholic Church on social policy in Ireland can be identified under two broad headings — a teaching influence derived from Catholic social thought and a practical influence which arose from the church’s role as a major provider of social services. Historically, the second of these was the more important. The church developed a large practical role in the social services before it evolved anything approaching a formal body of social teaching, and its formal teaching in the social field never matched the inventiveness or impact of its social provision. Today, this order is being reversed. The church’s role as service provider is dwindling, mainly because falling vocations have left it without the personnel to sustain that role. Its reputation as a service provider has also been tarnished by the revelations of shocking abuses perpetrated by Catholic clergy and religious on vulnerable people (particularly children) placed in their care in the past (see, e,g, the Ferns Report – Murphy, Buckley and Joyce, 2005; also O’Raftery and O’Sullivan 2001). Nevertheless, its teaching role in the social field is finding new content and new forms of expression. Despite the corrosive effect of the scandals of the past decade on the church’s teaching authority, these new means of influencing social policy debate have considerable potency and may well offer a means by which the church can play an important part in the development of social policy in the future. 160 This a slightly revised version of a chapter previously published in Seán Healy and Brigid Reynolds (eds.) Social Policy in Ireland.

Frice One Shilling. 4 19S7 9776 PREFACE The First Edition of this book was issued in the year 1890 with the object of assisting Registration Officers and the Public searching the Indexes of Births, Deaths, and Marriages by collating the varieties in the form and spelling of names usually met with, and also those names differing altogether in form, which had been ascertained to be used interchangeably. A careful note lias been made during the decade of cases where additional varieties or peculiarities in Sur- names and Christian names have come under notice in this Office, or have been reported by local Officers. In view of the revision of the Work, I addressed a special circular to the Superintendent Registrars and Registrars asking for information as to the nomenclature in their respective Districts, and I now beg to thank those Officers who have so kindly responded to my request, and in many cases furnished additional information of interest and value.

  • Catholic Power and the Irish City: Modernity, Religion, and Planning in Galway, 1944-49
    Word count: 11,702 (excluding footnotes) 17,288 (including footnotes) Catholic power and the Irish city: modernity, religion, and planning in Galway, 1944-49 That fine, out-stepping fellow on the other side? A bishop, stranger, who’ll stand no nonsense. When a City Council and its architect chose a site for a new school, a site he didn’t like and thought unsuitable, he soon and short told them to build it on a site of his choosing; and when the Council decided to keep to their own selection, he soon and short told them they were behaving in the Continental manner of disrespect for their priests; a gentle warning that sent them running to vote as one man, bar the architect, for the holy bishop’s choice. The bishop’s ring rang the bell. — Seán O’Casey, Autobiographies II (London, 1963), 639. ‘Imagine,’ bellowed the Unionist politician Walter Topping at a rally in Belfast in 1949, ‘the local Roman Catholic bishop being allowed to dictate the policy of the Belfast Corporation on matters which involved only traffic safety and public health.’1 The dispute Topping refers to was the Galway ‘school site controversy.’2 For the playwright Seán O’Casey in his enigmatic Autobiographies, the outcome was all too predictable: ‘the bishop’s ring rang the bell.’ Yet O’Casey’s recollections are selective and fail to capture the complexity of the issues involved; his was a hackneyed view of clerical power in modern Ireland. This article uses this dispute to draw out two key arguments: first, that existing scholarship on the Catholic Church in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century overstates its hegemonic power, 1 Belfast Newsletter, 2 September 1949.

  • Values, Catholic Social Thought and Public Policy
    Values, Do values matter in economic and social policy? Can Catholic Social Thought help us understand Catholic Social economic and social issues, especially the goal of a just society? This book sets out to answer these and Values, Catholic Social Thought and Public PolicyValues, Reynolds/Healy 2007 many related questions. Thought The chapters are papers delivered at a policy conference held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of and the CORI Justice Office and its work to promote social justice in Ireland. The book seeks to offer insights into our understanding of economic and social issues, Public Policy particularly efforts to promote a just society. The goal of Catholic Social Thought is not to offer an answer to every economic or social question but instead to offer a lens through which to view specific social and economic problems. This perspective argues that economic and social actions are inherently moral actions. Yet the assertion that values matter is a contested issue in many areas of public policy. The authors come from a range of disciplines and areas of work but all are committed to ongoing public debate around these key issues and to promoting public policy which leads to a fairer, more just society for all. € CORI Justice, 12.50 Bloomfield Avenue, Dublin 4 Phone: 01 6677 363 Fax: 01 6689 460 Email: [email protected] Website: www.cori.ie/justice CORI Justice VALUES, CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHT AND PUBLIC POLICY Edited by Brigid Reynolds, s.m. and Seán Healy, s.m.a.
