  • Castletown List 55
    National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co.

It will commence from the existing Portlaoise Bypass and tie in with the N7 Castletown–Nenagh road scheme, south of Borris in Ossory, and the M8 Cullahill–Cashel Motorway scheme, south of Cullahill. The M7/M8 scheme is the largest infrastructural project to be undertaken in County Laois. The proposed motorway is routed through a rural landscape, with the existing land use being almost exclusively agricultural. Villages and settlements in the environs of the motorway include Borris in Ossory, Cullahill, Ballycolla, Aghaboe and Clogh. The landscape is characterised by well-drained, gently undulating, broad valleys, giving rise to good-quality pastureland and pockets of bogland. Remnants of historical landscapes and woodland demesne planting occur along the route at Abbeyleix, Castledurrow, Donore, Palmerhill, Lismore and Granston. 103 Settlement, Industry and Ritual Illus. 2—Ringfort (RMP No. LA034-034) in Oldtown townland in the vicinity of the southernmost section of the M8 Portlaoise–Cullahill Motorway Scheme.

Her drapery shop, in the centre of Dublin St., was to many of us, children at the time, the bulwark of Republican sentiment. There we bought the little celluloid badges of the Tricolour. In the years of struggle that followed, the badges were inset with pictures of the leaders. It may seem a small thing now to have displayed publicly a whole range of national emblems. But in the context of the times it was bravery and patriotism of a very high order.
