Maynooth for all his encouragement, patience and willing support in the difficult task of researching and writing up the results of this study. I am grateful to the staff of the public and private libraries and archives that have been of help to me in making this study possible. These were as follows: Trinity College Dublin Manuscripts Department and the Berkeley Library; The Boole Library at University College, Cork; The John Paul II Library of N.U.I. Maynooth; N.U.I. Maynooth Outreach Campus Library, Kilkenny; The National Library of Ireland; The National Archives; Laois County Library; The Local Studies Department at the History and Family Research Centre in Newbridge, County Kildare; Kerry County Library; Galway County Library; Clongowes Wood College Archives and the Irish Land Commission. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mario Corrigan, Newbridge, who was particularly helpful to me in ascertaining sources for south Kildare. Thanks to Gerard J. Lyne, author of The Lansdowne estate in Kerry under W. S. Trench 1849-72, who was most generous with his time and assistance, particularly with regard to research at Derreen House, Kenmare and Bowood House, Wiltshire. Thanks also to Danny Moriarty, Kenmare for source material and hospitality on several occasions; Br Linus Walker, Galway; Eileen McGregor; Mary Ramsbottom M.A., New Zealand; Raymond, Olive and John Lacey of Clopook; the KilBride family at Tomaclavin; Denis and Anne Knowles Raheenahown; Patrick KilBride, Dublin; Pete and Winnie KilBride in Liverpool and the KilBride extended family worldwide who corresponded and provided source material for this study. A special word of gratitude is long overdue to the Honourable David Bigham and his family for their permission on various occasions to research at Derreen House, Lauragh, in Kenmare, County Kerry. Their splendid hospitality on many occasions was overwhelmingly generous. I would also like to thank Lord Lansdowne, Ninth Marquis and Dr Kate Fielden, Curator at Bowood House, Caine, in Wiltshire for permission to access the Bowood House archive in July 2002. In this regard, I wish to acknowledge financial support from the T.W. Moody Fund which facilitated a visit to the archive at Bowood House.

Educated at Clongowes Wood College, Clane. A tenant farmer. A nationalist. Sat for south Kerry from 1887 to 1895. Returned unopposed for south Kerry and north Galway in 1895 but elected to sit for north Galway, which he represented from 1895 to 1900, when he retired. Elected for south Kildare May 1903 and sat until defeated in 1918. Died 1924.3 Denis KilBride (hereafter called KilBride) as can be seen from the above was MP for three different constituencies in the period 1887 to 1918. He was a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party, which represented Irish national ideals in the House of Commons at Westminster until the general election of 1918, when Sinn Fein, the nationalist separatist party took most of the seats. Prior to becoming an MP, KilBride had been a member and secretary of the Irish National League at local level and also a Poor Law Guardian for the Union of Athy. This is primarily a local study, where the aim and focus is to look at the life and times of Denis KilBride MP, who although not a major figure in Irish history, never coming to prominence or having national leadership roles, yet played an important part in the Irish Parliamentary Party’s achievements in for example the considerable progress made towards achieving Home Rule and a system of peasant proprietorship in Ireland. KilBride campaigned locally and in the House of Commons for nationalist concerns over a period of thirty-one years and but for three years between 1900 and 1903, he held a seat for the nationalist party in parliament.

  • The Castlecomer Plateau
    23 The Castlecomer plateau By T. P. Lyng, N.T. HE Castlecomer Plateau is the tableland that is the watershed between the rivers Nore and Barrow. Owing T to the erosion of carboniferous deposits by the Nore and Barrow the Castlecomer highland coincides with the Castle­ comer or Leinster Coalfield. Down through the ages this highland has been variously known as Gower Laighean (Gabhair Laighean), Slieve Margy (Sliabh mBairrche), Slieve Comer (Sliabh Crumair). Most of it was included within the ancient cantred of Odogh (Ui Duach) later called Ui Broanain. The Normans attempted to convert this cantred into a barony called Bargy from the old tribal name Ui Bairrche. It was, however, difficult territory and the Barony of Bargy never became a reality. The English labelled it the Barony of Odogh but this highland territory continued to be march lands. Such lands were officially termed “ Fasach ” at the close of the 15th century and so the greater part of the Castle­ comer Plateau became known as the Barony of Fassadinan i.e. Fasach Deighnin, which is translated the “ wi lderness of the river Dinan ” but which officially meant “ the march land of the Dinan.” This no-man’s land that surrounds and hedges in the basin of the Dinan has always been a boundary land. To-day it is the boundary land between counties Kil­ kenny, Carlow and Laois and between the dioceses of Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin. The Plateau is divided in half by the Dinan-Deen river which flows South-West from Wolfhill to Ardaloo. The rim of the Plateau is a chain of hills averag­ ing 1,000 ft.

  • KEEPING an EYE on YOUGHAL: the Freeman's Journal and The
    KEEPING AN EYE ON YOUGHAL: The Freeman’s Journal and the Plan of Campaign in East Cork, 1886–92 Felix M. Larkin THE SKIBBEREEN EAGLE FAMOUSLY declared in that it would be keeping an eye on the Tsar of Russia (Potter, : , –). A decade or so earlier, Youghal was very much in the eye of the press – and, indeed, in the eye of the storm – during the Plan of Campaign, the second phase of the Land War in Ireland. The tenants on the nearby Ponsonby estate were the first to adopt the Plan of Cam- paign in November in order to secure lower rents (Donnelly, : , – ). The struggle that ensued dragged on inconclusively until it was overtaken by the Parnell spilt in the s, and the Ponsonby tenants – like so many others else- where in the country – were then left high and dry, with no alternative but to settle on terms that fell far short of what they sought (Geary, : ). The Freeman’s Journal was the main nationalist daily newspaper in Ireland at that time, and it kept its eye closely on developments in and around Youghal as it covered the Plan of Campaign throughout the country – often in remarkable detail. What I want to do in this paper is briefly to outline the Freeman’s coverage of the events in Youghal, and to place its coverage of those events in the wider context of Irish political jour- nalism in the second half of the nineteenth century. In , when the Plan of Campaign began, the Freeman’s Journal was the prop- erty of Edmund Dwyer Gray MP – who had inherited the newspaper on the death of his father, Sir John Gray, in .Italreadyhadalongandchequeredhistory, having been founded in Dublin in to support the ‘patriot’ opposition in the Irish parliament in College Green.

    The Place-Names of County Kilkenny Acknowledgement The Kilkenny Archaeological Society is grateful to Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly for permission to re-issue this book. Notice On mature reflection the Commitee of the Society has decided to change the title of Owen O ’Kelly’s book from A History of County Kilkenny to The Place-Names of the County of Kilkenny. The new title is thought more exactly to describe the book. An alphabetical index has been added. Within the new material, Owen O ’Kelly’s book is reproduced complete and unaltered. The map on the cover (also reproduced inside) is made from a Grand Jury map. The Grand Juries were the forerunners of the County Councils. They commissioned maps which are now extremely rare. The Grand Jury maps predate the first edition of the Ordnance Survey maps and are of great interest because of the different spellings of place names. Thus they can be used to locate changes that have occurred. The Place-Names of the COUNTY of KILKENNY The Kilkenny Archaeological Society Rothe House K ilk en n y © The Kilkenny Archaeological Society and Mrs Sheila O ’Kelly, 1985. ISBN 0 9501687 8 5 Printed by BOETHIUS PRESS Kilkenny FOREWORD The publication of my late husband’s history of the place-names of Kilkenny is a re-issue of a work that was originally published in 1969 but has long since gone out of print and is very difficult to obtain. Many years of painstaking research and dedication went into the compilation of the original. But the task was of compelling interest to him and he would have been deeply gratified and proud that his book on the place-names is being republished by the Kilkenny Archaeological Society.
