  • 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.

  • GREENBOYS 1828 Saw Considerable Unrest in Ireland. Daniel O Connell
    GREENBOYS 1828 saw considerable unrest in Ireland. Daniel O Connell, member of Parliament for Clare, was at the height of his power and influence. After the Act of Union in 1801, Catholics had expected that Emancipation would soon follow. They had been promised that the last of the Penal Laws, which prevented Catholics from becoming Members of Parliament would be abolished, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that the English Government, particularly the House of Lords, and George III had no intention of yielding to the growing demands for Emancipation and civil and religious liberty.. In 1823, Daniel O' Connell formed the Catholic Association ,which organised great open-air meetings and marches with the aim of forcing the Government to grant Catholic Emancipitation.’ On Sunday, September 21 st. 1828, a huge crowd of men and women from Tipperary, Kilkenny, Laois and parts of Offaly, met and paraded through the town of Roscrea decorated with green hats, sashes and ribbons. Before they dispersed, these “Green Boys” and “Green Girls”, decided that on the following Sunday, they would hold a monster meeting at Shinrone ‘famous for its uncompromising Orange and anti-Catholic feelings (Cooke Page 113) They hoped to demonstrate to the Orangemen there, the resolve of the people of North Tipperary, Offaly and the surrounding counties to secure their legitimate rights and prove what an united determined force could accomplish. ‘In the late 18th. and 19th. centuries relations between Catholics and Protestants in the Killaloe diocese were generally non-contentious , apart from the strong Orange area in the neighbourhood of Shinrone’ (The Diocese of Killaloe in the 18th.
