This thesis examines their history and attempts to evaluate the contribution they made to their adopted county. George Bancroft (1800- 89), an American historian, has stated that 'the rise of the people called Quakers is one of the memorable events in the history of man'. 1 However extravagant this claim, Voltaire, to whom religion meant leading a good and useful life, observed of the Quakers 'the doctrines and history of such unusual people were worthy of the curiosity of a reasonable man'. 2 Although he mocked their quaint speech and comical clothing, he was attracted to their plain lifestyle and to their simple moral and spiritual values. Previous studies of Irish Quakers have focused on communities that were either exclusively urban or rural. However, the Tipperary Quakers throughout their history always consisted of both fanners and traders. Hence this thesis, which examines that community, marks a new departure in Irish Quaker studies. There have been many studies of Irish Quaker urban communities, including Harrison's study of 'Dublin Quakers' 3 and Lovett's 'Limerick's Quakers'. 4 Two books, one by Harrison 5 and the other co-ordinated by O'Keeffe, 6 deal with the Cork and Mountmellick urban communities respectively. The major work on a rural community is 1 cited in D. Elton Trueblood. 1he people called Quakers (New York, 1966), p. 1 2 Leonard Tancock (trans.) of Francis Voltaire, Letters on England (London, 1980), p. 23. 3 Richard Harrison, 'Dublin Quakers in business 1800-1850' unpublished M.Litt. thesis (TCD, 1988). 4 M. P. Lovett, 'The Quakers of Limerick 1655-1900', unpublished MA thesis (University of Limerick, 1999). 5 Richard Harrison, Cork city Quakers: a brief history 1655-1939 (Published privately, 1991). 6 Regina O'Keeffe ( co-ordinator), The Quakers C?fMountmellick (Mountmellick, 1994). a thesis by O'Haire 7 on the Carlow Quakers. There are also a number of articles on various Quaker communities. These include two by Bennis8 on Waterford and Limerick Quakers and a further two by Harrison, one on the Quaker settlement in Charleville, and the other dealing with Bandon and west Cork. 9 Lunham concentrates on the early Cork Quaker community. 10 Comerford traces the fortunes of the Kilkenny Quakers, 11 while Goodbody focuses on the Quakers in Wexford. 12 These articles do little more than trace the Quaker connection with the area in question; no effort is made to assess their contribution to or their impact on their chosen community. The Quakers differed from other dissenting groups of the Reformation in having no dogma, hierarchy, sacraments or professional clergy. The care of their membership, their egalitarian treatment ofwome~ their maintenance of certain so"called 'testimonies' against tithes, oaths and military service, contributed towards the unique character of Quakerism. Their distinctive way of life, marked by peculiarities of speech and dress, further distinguished them from their contemporaries. They set up a system of meetings for worship and for church affairs based on democratic principles, which oftered the widest scope for personal liberty.

  • Din Kennedy, Coolcroo, Two Mile Borris
    Din Kennedy by Michael O’Dwyer Din Kennedy was born on 26 June 1913 at Coolcroo, Two-Mile-Borris, County Tipperary. He was the fourth son of Con Kennedy, a farmer, and Mary Anne Kennedy (née Campion). His parents got married in Gortnahoe church on 21 February 1909. On the Kennedy family in Jimmy Fogarty’s excellent book on Moycarkey Coolcroo Athletic Club, A Tipperary athletic club: 70 years of athletics in a County Tipperary parish, he started with, ‘In 1936, the Kennedy family, together with their close neighbours, the Healys, became the founding members of Coolcroo Athletic Club. All the male members of this family were known throughout the county as great hurlers and athletes, having captured All-Ireland medals in both disciplines. In fact, their Uncle Tom Kennedy was a member of the historic Two-Mile-Borris team, County Tipperary, Munster and All-Ireland Hurling Champions of 1900.’ When Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1937 for the first time one of the team’s six scorers was Din’s brother Tom Kennedy (1912–1962). Two years later, in 1939, when Coolcroo regained the Irish junior cross-country title Din Kennedy was a scoring member, and he was also a scoring member when Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1948. His best year though was in 1946 when he was a scoring member of the Tipperary junior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title that year and the following month he was a scoring member of the Tipperary senior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

DISCOVERIES background The setting of the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary is an iconic image of Ireland’s ancient past. Designing a road through such a rich archaeological landscape was challenging but rewarding. Archaeological investigations consisted of testing by Mary Henry Archaeological Services Ltd in 2001 and full excavation by Judith Carroll Network Archaeology Ltd in 2003. All of the archaeological work was carried out on behalf of the National Roads Authority and South Tipperary County Council. The Rock of Cashel with pond in the foreground, from the north.

  • National Archives, Ireland
    National Archives, Ireland Historical commentary for 1822 Spring of 1822 saw famine affect large numbers of people in the west and south of the country, and in June fever spread with devastating consequences. In a bid to stem the resulting spread of social unrest, the government introduced the Insurrection Act in February, and in August 1822 the Irish Constabulary Act passed into law, allowing for the systematic establishment of an organised police force on a national basis. As economic pressure tightened, a corresponding increase can be seen in the activities of agrarian protest groups such as the Whiteboys, Ribbonmen, Rockites and Caravats. Most of these groups protested tithe and rent demands as well as tenant evictions. One immediate result of the new police legislation was a marked increase in applications for situations as constables and sub-constables. Such requests augmented routine letters to the Chief Secretary’s Office seeking promotions, grants or pensions. On occasion, we find more diverse applications for compensation coming from such individuals as a Gaelic court interpreter, a ‘suffering loyalist’ or a census enumerator. The papers include information on principle public offices such as the Four Courts Marshalsea, General Post Office, Stamp Office, House of Industry, Board of Works, Board of Records and Paving Board, and deal with major issues like education, religion, banking, emigration, prisons and asylums. There is information on the activities of the Orange Order, the Irish Lottery, coal yards, gas lighting, window tax, mendicity, foundlings and turnpike roads. However, famine and poverty were the pervasive themes of 1822, and there is a lot of material relating to public works initiatives for the employment of the poor in construction of roads, bridges, harbours and canals.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.
