2007 Buffet Erin Mosaic of St. Patrick Athenaeum of Ohio ~ Cincinnati Photographed by Robert McNary Flischel 1 The O'Donovans were originally located at Bru- ree, in the valley of the river Maigue, in what is now Co. Limerick. They were a ruling family, which had provided kings for a large "tuath" (a territorial unit or petty kingdom) for several centuries prior to the com- ing of the Normans. Ireland, in Celtic or pre-Norman times, was divided into some 150 such units (tuatha). The "Odonovan ” tuath was called Ui Fidhgeinte, (Ee Fee-yinte) -- and approximated to the present diocesse of Limerick. About 950, Ui Fidhgeinte split into two separate “tuatha” -- the eastern one taking the name Ui Cairbre (Ee Cairb-reh). The old royal family became kings of this new “tuath” with Bruree still as their headquarters. For this reason they were sometimes described as the kings of Bruree. In 976, the reigning king of Cairbre, Donnabhan Donovan (Donnavuan) became involved in a dynastic feud over the kingship of the province of Munster. As part of a plot against Mahon, king of Munster, Donnabhan he O’Donovan pedigree goes back to Cal- invited Mahon to a feast at his place at Bruree.

  • The Declaration of Independence
    The Declaration of Independence IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION of the thirteen united STATES OF AMERICA, WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.ÐWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.ÐThat to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,ÐThat whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.Ð Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

  • Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence
    Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence US and Dec of Ind BK4 AW.indd 1 17/12/09 12:16:20 Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence The influence of Ulster-Scots Presbyterians was heavily stamped on the American Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and in the unfolding events which led to the establishment of the United States as a nation. The historic Declaration contained sentiments closely identified with the aspirations of the Presbyterian immigrant stock from the north of Ireland who settled in the American colonies during the 18th century. A significant assertion was: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. The 56 men from the 13 colonies who signed the Declaration were almost entirely of British family origin. Thirty eight were firmly established as being of English extraction, eight Irish (at least five of whom had direct Ulster family connections), five Welsh, four pure Scottish and one Swedish. One account from Ulster writer the Rev W. F. Marshall records the far-seeing contribution of the Scots- Irish (Ulster-Scots) in the struggle for American independence, with General George Washington reportedly stating: “If defeated everywhere else I will make my last stand for liberty among the Scotch-Irish of my native Virginia”. British Prime Minister at the time Horace Walpole was less flattering, with a jibe to King George 111 and the British Cabinet: “Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson .
