  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

(b) Indicates the acceptability or otherwise in principle of the specified land uses in each zone. Landuse zoning objectives seek to assist individuals in assessing the most appropriate locations for new development. Not all needs can be anticipated and therefore some flexibility is required, having regard to the strategic objectives of the Plan and the more detailed policies and objective contains in the foregoing chapters. 10.1 Zoning Matrix The land use zoning matrix set out in Table 10.1 details the most common forms of development land uses in accordance with the zoning objectives. This matrix classifies uses under three categories in terms of whether a proposed use is generally permitted in principle, open for consideration or not permitted. Permitted in Principle (√√√): Proposed use will be generally accepted subject to normal planning practice, site suitability and compliance with the relevant policies and objectives, standards and the requirements set out in the Templemore Town and Environs Development Plan. Open for Consideration(O): Proposed use may be permitted where the Council is satisfied that the use is in compliance with the zoning objective, other relevant policies and objectives, standard and requirements as set out in the Templemore and Environs Development Plan. Generally Not Permitted (X): Proposed use will not be favourable considered, except in exceptional circumstances and in such instances, the development may represent a material contravention of this plan.

  • The Coonans of Roscrea by Michael F
    The Coonans of Roscrea By Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. [email protected] October 26, 2018 Introduction This continues the effort to organize, consolidate and extend the research of Robert Conan. The following paper concerns the Coonan families found in the area of Ireland around Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. The material found in Conan’s notes pertaining to this subject consists of two parts: (1) a structured family report covering five generations and (2) a set of interviews conducted by Robert Conan in Ireland in 1970 and 1972. The data in the structured family report covers the period from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s and is discussed in Part I of this paper. Information was also found on a Roscrea family which had immigrated to Australia in 1865; they are also included in this part of the paper. The Robert Conan interviews covered the then current generation of Coonan descendants and went back one or two generations and which forms Part II of the paper. The overall goal is to connect the earlier Coonan generations with the more recent descendants, where possible. As many church and civil records as possible were collected to complement those collected by Robert Conan during his visits to Ireland. The information has been structured as family trees to achieve a concentration of the information and to increase the probability of discovering other family connections. The geographic proximity of the families described in this paper holds the promise of finding connections among them. A more long range goal is to find connections with the Upperchurch Coonan families, which were described in an earlier paper.
