History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”. -
GREENBOYS 1828 Saw Considerable Unrest in Ireland. Daniel O Connell
GREENBOYS 1828 saw considerable unrest in Ireland. Daniel O Connell, member of Parliament for Clare, was at the height of his power and influence. After the Act of Union in 1801, Catholics had expected that Emancipation would soon follow. They had been promised that the last of the Penal Laws, which prevented Catholics from becoming Members of Parliament would be abolished, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that the English Government, particularly the House of Lords, and George III had no intention of yielding to the growing demands for Emancipation and civil and religious liberty.. In 1823, Daniel O' Connell formed the Catholic Association ,which organised great open-air meetings and marches with the aim of forcing the Government to grant Catholic Emancipitation.’ On Sunday, September 21 st. 1828, a huge crowd of men and women from Tipperary, Kilkenny, Laois and parts of Offaly, met and paraded through the town of Roscrea decorated with green hats, sashes and ribbons. Before they dispersed, these “Green Boys” and “Green Girls”, decided that on the following Sunday, they would hold a monster meeting at Shinrone ‘famous for its uncompromising Orange and anti-Catholic feelings (Cooke Page 113) They hoped to demonstrate to the Orangemen there, the resolve of the people of North Tipperary, Offaly and the surrounding counties to secure their legitimate rights and prove what an united determined force could accomplish. ‘In the late 18th. and 19th. centuries relations between Catholics and Protestants in the Killaloe diocese were generally non-contentious , apart from the strong Orange area in the neighbourhood of Shinrone’ (The Diocese of Killaloe in the 18th. -

Ennis Cathedral
Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery. -
