    The O’Mara Papers P40 Volume 1 University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The O’Mara Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P40 Title: The O’Mara Papers Dates of Creation: 1843-1991 (predominant 1916-1959) Level of Description: Fonds Extent and Medium: 30 boxes, 2 outsize boxes, 1 photograph box, 37 outsize items (1,000 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): O’Mara family of Strand House, Limerick; and O’Brien family of Boru House, Limerick. Administrative and Biographical History: O’Mara’s Bacon Company was founded in 1839 by James O’Meara (1817-1899), who originated from the village of Toomevaara in county Tipperary. Having worked for some years in the woollen mills in Clonmel, he got a job as a clerk with Matterson’s Bacon Factory in Limerick and in 1839 founded O’Mara’s Bacon Company in his house on Mungret Street. It is said that he dropped the ‘e’ from his surname as he felt that O’Meara was too long for commercial purposes. James initially sold for Matterson’s but soon began to cure his own bacon in the basement of his house. As his business grew, he acquired dedicated premises for the purpose near the top of Roche’s Street. In 1841, James O’Mara married Honora Fowley (d. 1878), who worked in the bacon business alongside her husband. A devoted nationalist, James was one of the early supporters of Isaac Butt’s Home Rule movement. He was High Sheriff of Limerick City in 1887, and acted as Town Councillor on Limerick Corporation at least from 1888 to 1898.
