  • 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.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 1,393 Witness Edmond McGrath, The Cottage, Cahir Co. Tipperary. Identity. Secretary of Sinn Fein Club; Commandant 6th Battalion, Third Tipperary Brigade. Subject. Tincurry Company, 6th Battalion, Third Tipperary Brigade, 1917-1922. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No. S.2716 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. EDMUND McGRATH, The Cottage, Cahir, Co. Tipperary; Commandant. 6th Battalion, 3rd Tipperary Brigade. It was, I would say, about the year of 1912 that I first commenced to take an interest in Irish political affairs. I was then. about twenty-three years of age, and I became a regular reader of Arthur Griffith's weekly paper, "The United Irishman", and some of the other weekly or monthly periodicals which expressed views of a similar nature and which were then in circulation. I was particularly impressed by articles written by P.R. Pearse which appeared in these papers, and probably thus influenced, I found myself opposed to the policy of John Redmond's Irish Parliamentary Party. In my native district. of Ballylooby, with the exception, I might say, of myself and my companion, a man named O'Donnell, who subsequently emigrated to America. and went to his eternal reward there, the people as a whole then gave their political allegiance to this Irish Parliamentary Party, and anyone who opposed or criticised the policy of the Party was looked upon, if not as foolish, at least as odd in his political views. A company of Redmond's Volunteers, or the National Volunteers as they were called, was: formed in Ballylooby in 1914.
