During the Commemoration of the Rising many people in Carlow must have remembered a lady whose courage has never been duly appreciated. Her drapery shop, in the centre of Dublin St., was to many of us, children at the time, the bulwark of Republican sentiment. There we bought the little celluloid badges of the Tricolour. In the years of struggle that followed, the badges were inset with pictures of the leaders. It may seem a small thing now to have displayed publicly a whole range of national emblems. But in the context of the times it was bravery and patriotism of a very high order. Thus, in this Jubilee Year, we salute a gracious and great·hearted lady who fanned the Phoenix Flame, and whom we remember with affection and gratitude.

PREFACE. 1 HAVE condensed into this little volume a consi- derable part of the local etymologies contained in " The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places." 1 have generally selected those names that are best known through the country, and I have thought it better to arrange them in alpha- betical order. The book has been written in the hope that it may prove useful, and perhaps not uninteresting, to those who are anxious for information on the subject, but who have not the opportunity of perusing the larger volume. Soon after the appearance of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places," I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topo- graphy, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities. I take this opportunity of soliciting further information from those who are able to give it, and who are anxious to assist in the advancement of Irish literature. IRISH LOCAL NAMES EXPLATKED. THE PROCESS OF ANGLICISING. 1. Systematic Changes. Irish prommciation preserved. —In anglicising Irish names, the leading general rule is, that the present forms are derived from the ancient Irish, as they were spoken, not as they were written. Those who first committed them to writing, aimed at preserving the original pronunciation, by representing it as nearly as they were able in English letters.

Its objective is to compile a comprehensive database of sites of industrial heritage interest throughout Co Laois using published and other readily available sources. The database thus created is known as LAIAR – LAois Industrial Archaeology Record. Chapter 1 outlines the scope of industrial archaeology and the progress of survey work in Ireland. Chapter 2 presents an overview of the contents of LAIAR. A detailed appraisal of the sources and sampling strategies used in its compilation is given in chapter 3. This database exists in both computer database and hard-copy formats and these are reviewed in detail in the next two chapters. Chapters 6 and 7 outline how LAIAR can be updated and interrogated. Finally, in chapter 8, recommendations are set out for its future development and enhancement. I am extremely grateful to the members of Laois Heritage Forum for their invaluable assistance in the successful completion of this project: Catherine Casey (Laois Heritage Officer), Teddy Fennelly, Camin O’Brien (National Monuments Service), Mary Lalor, and Eric Lewis.
