  • 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.

    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.

  • The Castlecomer Mine Quarry Union
    The Castlecomer Mine Coal has been mined in the Castlecomer area since the earliest times but it was not until the seventeenth cen- tury that the mining was tackled on an organized basis. Quarry Union In 1637 Thomas Wentworth, Lord Deputy of Ireland, subse- quently to become Lord Lieutenant and Earl of Strafford, invited Christopher Wandesforde, a gentleman farmer from Yorkshire, by Pat Feeley to Ireland. Wandesforde was made Master of the Rolls and granted a large estate round about Castlecomer. When Straf- ford was later tried for high treason and executed Wandesforde became Lord Deputy for a brief period after his death. Wan- desforde himself died in 1642. The land that fell to Wandesforde included the Castlecomer coalfield. Castlecomer is the acknowledged centre of the Leinster coalfield which is located for the most part in north Kilkenny but also extends into part of County Laois. The coal here was anthracite and the depth of the seams varied, but in general the veins were not as deep as in the bituminous coal fields of Britain, and it was quite common for a Castlecomer miner to have to work on his side picking out the face in a pit eighteen inches high. On the other hand, it was possible to use naked lights in the Kilkenny mines because anthracite does not contain methane gas and the number of underground deaths was lower than in other mines. Wandesforde began to work the mines about 1640. The first seam he opened was called the "Old Three Foot". This exten- ded for about eight square miles at depths varying from 40 to 100 ft.
