  • The Earl of Thomond's 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co
    McInerney Thomond 15/1/14 10:52 AM Page 173 North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 53, 2013 173 The Earl of Thomond’s 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co. Clare LUKE McINERNEY A transcription and discussion of an early seventeenth century survey of a Co. Clare barony. The chief value of the document is that it represents the earliest rent-roll detailing the Earl of Thomond’s estate in Co. Clare and merits study not least because it is one of the most comprehensive surveys of its type for early seventeenth century Co. Clare. Furthermore, it may be used to ascertain the landholding matrix of Ibrickan and to identify the chief tenants. Presented here is a survey undertaken of the barony of Ibrickan in Co. Clare in 1615.1 The survey covered the entire 63 quarters of the barony. It is lodged at Petworth House archive among the collection of Thomond Papers there.2 At present, our understanding of the changes in landholding for Ibrickan is hindered by the fact that the returns in the 1641 Books of Survey and Distribution3 show that by that time proprietorship of the barony was exclusively in the hands of the Earl of Thomond and few under-tenants are recorded. Having a full list of the chief tenants which dates from the second decade of the seven- teenth century augments our understanding of the changes wrought to landholding, inheritance and social relations in Gaelic regions at a critical juncture in Irish history following the battle of Kinsale. This 1615 survey of part of the extensive estate of the Earl of Thomond serves to focus our gaze at a lower echelon of Gaelic society.

  • Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide
    Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide Overview of Shannon The River Shannon and the Shannon region of Ireland are famous for their beauty, but the city bearing the same name is largely overlooked by tourists. Shannon was a 'planned' town, built in the 1960s as a satellite to nearby Limerick. For this reason, the city lacks the old-world charm of many Irish towns. However, Shannon makes a convenient stop on any tour of the country due to its airport, the second largest in Ireland. Because of its location, Shannon is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful County Clare, which includes famous attractions like Bunratty Castle, the Burren Caherconnell Stone Fort, Craggaunowen Castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and Dromoland Castle. Nature lovers will find plenty of spectacular landscapes to explore, including Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the beaches of Spanish Point. Shannon is also a good starting point for walking tours of Dingle and the Ring of Kerry, or cruises on the river itself. Dolphin watching is a popular activity from Carrigaholt pier, while Loop Head peninsula is home to a large puffin colony. While the town of Shannon isn't as cosmopolitan as larger cities like Dublin or Galway, it has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and a friendly atmosphere that will make any traveller feel welcome. Key Facts Language: English is the principal language, although a minority of people speak Irish (Gaelic). Passport/Visa: All foreign passengers to Ireland must be able to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay in the country. Additionally, passengers should hold return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, as immigration officers might demand that they demonstrate proof of their intention to leave Ireland.

Budget: Create a budget for the dinner As your wedding planners we will incorporate this cost into your overall wedding budget. Guest list: While there are no rules the traditional rule of thumb was at least all “out of town” guests are invited. However that will depend on the budget & the hosts. If budget permits particularly as you are having a destination wedding you might decide to invite all guests & have it as a Welcome Party. Style: The formality is at the discretion of the hosts but whatever happens ensure not to overshadow the wedding day! If you are having a formal wedding you might opt for casual , more relaxed rehearsal dinner or you may decide to have it formal as a sneak peek of the wedding day .

  • Battle of Clontarf by Finnegan
    Clontarf We are in the year 1014, on the coast of Ireland. Brian Boru high king of the emerald isle awaits the battle that will either crush the rising rebellion, or mark his defeat. This battle will go down in history as the battle of Clontarf… A cool gust of wind buffeted from the sea, ruffling the lush green grass as it tore across the plain. His woolen cloak drawn closely around him, Aengus paced before the tents. Many faces were staring anxiously at the grey horizon as they went about sharpening swords, counting arrows and getting readying for the battle to come. In the distance a flicker could be observed at the base of the horizon. It grew to form a small group of riders who hustled across the plain as they saw the host by the Clontarf coast. Brian Boru rode at the center, his white beard tussled by the wind, the banner of his clan, the dal Cais, blowing behind him. In that that day no man in Ireland did not know of Brian Boru, and his name was uttered countless times. No man before had done what he had done. He alone ruled the south half of Ireland, having left the entire north to his former enemy Maél Sechnaill. Now with a rebellion from Leinster and Dublin on the rise, Brian was calling on this Sechnaill in hopes of gaining his support in the inevitable battle. Murchad appeared silently behind Aengus. “Dia dhuit?” he greeted. “Dia is Muire dhuit.” Aengus answered absently. “You think they bring good news?” “I hope, the Norse of Dublin are a force to be reckoned with- we need all the help we can get.” “Aye, but I’d rather that it weren’t from a snake like that Sechnaill.” Murchad had been something of a brother to Aengus for as long as either of them could remember.

  • Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [With Index]
    Luke McInerney Documents from the Thomond Papers at Petworth House Archive1 [with index] The Petworth House Archive (PHA) is an important and under-exploited repository for research into seventeenth and eighteenth-century Co. Clare. Petworth House, the historic seat of the earls of Egremont, holds primary source material relating to the estates of the earls of Thomond in North Munster, chiefly for Co. Clare but also Co. Limerick and Co. Tipperary. The material preserved at Petworth contains a range of material includ- ing estate management documentation, correspondence, accounts, legal papers, military, parliamentary papers, family history, maps and surveys.2 Only a small proportion of the tens of thousands of documents in the archive relate to the earls of Thomond’s Irish estates and the surviving ‘Thomond papers’ probably represent only a fraction of the original col- lection, loss and damage having taken its toll. Not all of the Thomond material is listed in the current Petworth catalogue; a large portion of the material is still available only in an unpublished early nineteenth-century manuscript catalogue. For historians of Gaelic Ireland the Thomond papers are notewor- thy as they contain detail on landholding at different social levels; key legal instruments such as inquisitions post mortem of Connor O’Brien (1581) third earl of Thomond, and Donough O’Brien (1624) fourth earl of Thomond, are preserved in the archive, along with petitions and leases of Gaelic freeholders. Freeholders of sept-lineages petitioned for restoration of their lands as they were increasingly disenfranchised in the new land- holding matrix of seventeenth century Co.
