  • 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.

  • 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.

Part history of the 3rd Battalion, Kilkenny Brigade. I.R.A. I was born in 1894 in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny, a pleasant village of about 1,000 inhabitants on the river Den. I was the eldest son of a family of ten six boys and four girls two of the girls being older than I. My father, Con Brennan, who was the son of a small farmer at Cruckawn, two mi1es from the town, ran two shops a hardware and grocery. My mother was of mining stock. Our family was popular amongst the farming class and amongst the miners of the nearby anthracite collieries. I was christened Garrett, but was known in the family and to friends as Gerald Brennan. My father was versed in the local tradition and often spoke to us children of the Cromwellian settlers who had been planted on the lands of his family. He was a member of the Cóiste Ceanntair of the Gaelic League and was responsible for bringing an Irish teacher Con Horgan from Ballyvourney, Co. Cork, to Castlecomer where a branch of the Gaelic League was started about 1905.

  • Finding Irish Parish Records Using Fianna Information by Joe Petrie
    Finding Irish Parish Records using Fianna Information By Joe Petrie My Patrick Tobin family (Patrick, Judith Keefe, and their 3 sons) relocated to Northern Bay, Newfoundland from Gowran, Kilkenny, Ireland in very early in the 1800s. One of Patrick and Judith’s grandsons, Richard Tobin (my great grandfather) married Honorah Catherine (Nora) Dooley of North Sydney in November 1869 in St. Joseph’s. Richard and Nora initially settled in Channel, Newfoundland where they had their first 2 children (of 8): WIlliam Richard (my grandfather) and Mary Elizabeth (who was Sister Loretta of the Sisters of Charity of Halifax). The other 6 children were born in North Sydney. Many years ago, I decided to find and research Kilkenney RC Parish records at the local Mormon Church Family History Center’s Library (FHL) – principally to see whether I could find any other related Tobin family lines. (I kept hearing oral histories that indicated that five Tobin brothers relocated to Newfoundland and Canada at the same time.) The task was easier said than done. Why? First, because Gowran Parish Registers started after my Tobin family moved to Newfoundland, they were not in the Parish Registers. Second, Tobin was fairly common surname in Kilkenney. For example, the Tithe Applotment books list 170 records for Tobin. In fact, James Tobin was the only Gowran name – but there’s no proof that James and my ancestor Patrick were related. Using the Fianna Information, the same task would be easier and probably accomplished in a few hours. To help users, the Fianna information is available by County.
