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. -
1 De Bello Becco
De Bello Becco: a French foundation in the Boyne Valley Geraldine Stout Introduction This paper discusses the history of the little known French Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco near Drogheda, and the role it played in the commercial development of the Boyne valley and in the international maritime trade during the medieval period. The paper also presents the results of a recent geophysical survey and sets out a course for future investigation of the site. Historical background The Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco, also known as Beaubec, a daughter house of the convent of de Bello Becco in Normandy, France, was located in the townland of Bey More, Co. Meath (fig. 1, ITM 709546 772877) (St. John Brooks, 1953, 148; McCullen, 2011, 383). There is no known foundation date for this monastic site but a grant by Walter De Lacy to the church of SS Mary and Laurence of Beaubec and the monks residing there on the lands in Gillekeran has been dated to after 1215 (Dryburgh and Smith, 2006, 23). This includes a further grant of a burgage in Mornington (villa Marenari) along with the liberty of a boat for their own use, free from tolls, customs and demands and freedom to access Walter De Lacy’s lands to buy and sell merchandise. The placename Gillekeran suggests that this Cistercian foundation was on an earlier ecclesiastical site possibly associated with St Ciaran (www.monasticon.celt.dias.ie). The 1215 grant is alluded to in a confirmation grant by Henry III in 1235 (Sweetman, 1875, 341). Walter De Lacy bestowed this relatively small grant of land on the Cistercians for the good of his soul, and those of their relatives and ancestors. -
Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland1
Working Paper No. 271 December 2008 www.esri.ie Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland1 Edgar Morgenroth Subsequently published as "Exploring the Economic Geography of Ireland", Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, Vol. 38, pp.42-73, (2008/2009). Abstract: Only a few research papers have analysed the spatial distribution of economic activity in Ireland. There are a number of reasons for this, not least the fact that comprehensive data on the location of economic activity by sector across all sectors has not been available at the highly disaggregated spatial level. This paper firstly establishes the geographic distribution of employment at the 2 digit NACE level, using a novel approach that utilises a special tabulation from the CSO 2006 Census of Population Place of Work Anonymised Records (POWCAR). It then analyses the spatial patterns of this distribution using maps and more formal methods such measures of spatial concentration and tests for spatial autocorrelation. The paper considers the locational preferences of individual sectors, the degree to which specific sectors agglomerate and co-agglomerate, and thus will uncover urbanisation effects and differences across urban and rural areas regarding economic activity. Keywords: Economic geography, employment distribution JEL Classification: R12, R14, R30. Corresponding Author: [email protected] 1 The author would like to thank the CSO, and particularly Gerry Walker, for making available the data used in the analysis.

The end product is a 233-page book — ‘From a land beyond the wave,’ Connecticut’s Irish Rebels, 1798- 1916.’ Shown at right is a black and white picture of the book’s cover which in reality is in full color.

The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People
The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People Eoin Swithin Walsh B.A. University College Dublin College of Arts and Celtic Studies This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the Master of Arts in History July 2015 Head of School: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin Supervisor of Research: Professor Diarmaid Ferriter P a g e | 2 Abstract The array of publications relating to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) has, generally speaking, neglected the contributions of less active counties. As a consequence, the histories of these counties regarding this important period have sometimes been forgotten. With the recent introduction of new source material, it is now an opportune time to explore the contributions of the less active counties, to present a more layered view of this important period of Irish history. County Kilkenny is one such example of these overlooked counties, a circumstance this dissertation seeks to rectify. To gain a sense of the contemporary perspective, the first two decades of the twentieth century in Kilkenny will be investigated. Significant events that occurred in the county during the period, including the Royal Visit of 1904 and the 1917 Kilkenny City By-Election, will be examined. Kilkenny’s IRA Military campaign during the War of Independence will be inspected in detail, highlighting the major confrontations with Crown Forces, while also appraising the corresponding successes and failures throughout the county. The Kilkenny Republican efforts to instigate a ‘counter-state’ to subvert British Government authority will be analysed. In the political sphere, this will focus on the role of Local Government, while the administration of the Republican Courts and the Republican Police Force will also be examined. -

At the end of June 1922, the group of buildings known as the Shelling began at 4 am on Wednesday 28 June 1922. Fighting continued until the Four Courts, which has for some weeks – since 14th April 1922 afternoon of Friday 29 June.

The Phylogenealogy of R-L21: Four and a Half Millennia of Expansion and Redistribution
The phylogenealogy of R-L21: four and a half millennia of expansion and redistribution Joe Flood* * Dr Flood is a mathematician, economist and data analyst. He was a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and has been a Fellow at a number of universities including Macquarie University, University of Canberra, Flinders University, University of Glasgow, University of Uppsala and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He was a foundation Associate Director of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute. He has been administrator of the Cornwall Y-DNA Geographic Project and several surname projects at FTDNA since 2007. He would like to give credit to the many ‘citizen scientists’ who made this paper possible by constructing the detailed R1b haplotree over the past few years, especially Alex Williamson. 1 ABSTRACT: Phylogenealogy is the study of lines of descent of groups of men using the procedures of genetic genealogy, which include genetics, surname studies, history and social analysis. This paper uses spatial and temporal variation in the subclade distribution of the dominant Irish/British haplogroup R1b-L21 to describe population changes in Britain and Ireland over a period of 4500 years from the early Bronze Age until the present. The main focus is on the initial spread of L21-bearing populations from south-west Britain as part of the Beaker Atlantic culture, and on a major redistribution of the haplogroup that took place in Ireland and Scotland from about 100 BC. The distributional evidence for a British origin for L21 around 2500 BC is compelling. Most likely the mutation originated in the large Beaker colony in south-west Britain, where many old lineages still survive. -
