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”. -
Tipperary News Part 6
Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout. -

Egan The Speckled Booklet of the MacEgans Page - 3 DEDICATION To our kinsfolk at home and abroad Cover design by Brother Timothy O'Neill, F.S.C.—Scribe of the Egan Clan Association, Candelabra featured in the Leabhar Breac. The Speckled Booklet of the MacEgans Page - 4 Contents Foreword 1. Our Coats of Arms 2. Our Ancestral Castles 3. Our Scribes, Artists and Poets 4. Our contribution to Religion and Politics 5. Stories of Irish Kinsfolk 6. Stories of our Emigrant Kinsfolk 7. Egans of today 8. Genealogy Corner 9. Miscellaneous 10. Advertisements The Speckled Booklet of the MacEgans Page - 5 FOREWORD One of the most outstanding medieval Irish manuscripts still extant is the Leabhar Breac—the Speckled Book of the MacEgans which was written before 1411. It is now a prized possession of the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. It will not be considered presumptuous to call this production 'The Speckled Booklet' as it is our tribute to our forbears who left such an imprint on the history of Law and Learning in Ireland. As you will see, the articles appearing in the booklet are of particular interest to people of the names MacEgan, Egan, Eagan and Keegan. Because the MacEgans were a family interested in their family history and genealogy from the earliest times, it is not surprising that the formation of our Clan Association has evoked such interest amongst our kith and kin at home and abroad. -

Mick Ryan by Michael O’Dwyer Mick Ryan was born in 1875 at Knocknacree, Cloughjordan, County Tipperary. According to local church records he was baptised on 10 April 1875. He was the third son of Michael Ryan, a farmer, and Sarah Ryan (née Ryan). His parents got married in Borrisokane church on 18 February 1871. Mick Ryan’s main sports were athletics and hurling. He was a member of the famous Lahorna De Wet team that dominated North Tipperary hurling during the opening decade of the twentieth century. Competing in athletics, he won two national pole vault championships. He won his first pole vault title when both he and Jack Blackburn, of Galbally, tied with 10 ft 2 in. (3.10 m) on 10 August 1897 at Durrow, County Laois. His second national pole vault title was won the following year on 22 May 1898 at Cloughjordan. His winning height was 9 ft 9 in. (2.97 m), the runner-up was John Sullivan, native of Modreeny, Cloughjordan, with 9 ft 5½ in. (2.88 m), and third was Philip Sheppard, native of Main Street, Cloughjordan. Mick Ryan farmed at Newtown, Cloughjordan, and got married to Mary ‘Minnie’ Ryan, of Grennanstown, Toomevara, on 21 February 1928 at Grennanstown church. They had six children, two sons and four daughters. Two of their daughters, Annie (Sr Brendan Mary) and Siobhan (Sr Dominic Mary), entered the order of the Little Sisters of the Assumption, and nursed in Dublin. The former died at the age of twenty-seven as the result of a fatal scooter accident as she was on her way to attend to a sick mother in Ballyfermot on 18 October 1965. -
