This feedback is essential. Naturally, we hear of the disappointment and, frankly, anger of colleagues at the actions of the few. There is also dissatisfaction that solicitors rarely get public acknowledgement of the excellent work done by the overwhelming majority to the complete satisfaction of their clients in hundreds of thousands of transactions every year. Bad press for lawyers is nothing new and has been a phenomenon for centuries. We cannot allow it to deflect us from the challenges and opportunities that face the profession at this time. I am delighted, therefore, that the overwhelming mood at meetings of colleagues around the country is positive and progressive and focused clearly on what lies ahead. Exciting option One such recent meeting was the launch of the East Coast Collaborative Lawyers.

  • 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.

    Charleston County News Release Release Number: 2987 Date: March 9, 2009 Kilkenny County, Ireland Representatives Visit Charleston to Promote Exhibit at Historic County Courthouse March 16 event to honor Irish-born architect James Hoban, whose work in Charleston led to his selection as designer for the White House The public is invited to attend a unique event on Monday, March 16, honoring and opening an exhibit for Irish-born architect James Hoban, designer of the White House, The event, “Kilkenny to Carolina: The Emigrant Experience of a Single Area of Ireland and its Charleston Connections”, will include a series of lectures held on March 16 at the Mills House Hotel (115 Meeting Street, Charleston) followed by the opening of the James Hoban exhibit at 5 p.m. at the Charleston County Historic Courthouse (84 Broad Street, Charleston). Distinguished guests from Charleston County and Kilkenny County, Ireland will be in Charleston to participate in the opening of the exhibit. The guests from Ireland are Tomas Breathnach, Chairman of Kilkenny County Council, and Joseph Crockett, Kilkenny City and County Manager. In 1787, Kilkenny-born James Hoban arrived in Charleston, having spent two years in Philadelphia, where he made the acquaintance of many of the prominent South Carolinians who were attending sessions of the Constitutional Convention. Although still in an unfinished state, the Charleston County Courthouse was visited by President George Washington as he searched for architectural examples he could use as a pattern for the White House. While in Charleston, Washington met James Hoban, who worked as a local builder. Hoban would become the architect of the original White House, built in 1792.

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
