    Din Kennedy, Coolcroo, Two Mile Borris

    Din Kennedy by Michael O’Dwyer Din Kennedy was born on 26 June 1913 at Coolcroo, Two-Mile-Borris, County Tipperary. He was the fourth son of Con Kennedy, a farmer, and Mary Anne Kennedy (née Campion). His parents got married in Gortnahoe church on 21 February 1909. On the Kennedy family in Jimmy Fogarty’s excellent book on Moycarkey Coolcroo Athletic Club, A Tipperary athletic club: 70 years of athletics in a County Tipperary parish, he started with, ‘In 1936, the Kennedy family, together with their close neighbours, the Healys, became the founding members of Coolcroo Athletic Club. All the male members of this family were known throughout the county as great hurlers and athletes, having captured All-Ireland medals in both disciplines. In fact, their Uncle Tom Kennedy was a member of the historic Two-Mile-Borris team, County Tipperary, Munster and All-Ireland Hurling Champions of 1900.’ When Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1937 for the first time one of the team’s six scorers was Din’s brother Tom Kennedy (1912–1962). Two years later, in 1939, when Coolcroo regained the Irish junior cross-country title Din Kennedy was a scoring member, and he was also a scoring member when Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1948. His best year though was in 1946 when he was a scoring member of the Tipperary junior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title that year and the following month he was a scoring member of the Tipperary senior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals.

DISCOVERIES background The setting of the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary is an iconic image of Ireland’s ancient past. Designing a road through such a rich archaeological landscape was challenging but rewarding. Archaeological investigations consisted of testing by Mary Henry Archaeological Services Ltd in 2001 and full excavation by Judith Carroll Network Archaeology Ltd in 2003.

    An Investigation of Vegetation and Environmental Change in the Comeragh Mountains

    An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Dr Bettina Stefanini An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Prepared by Dr Bettina Stefanini 8 Middle Mountjoy Street Phibsboro Dublin 7 Phone: 087 218 0048 email: [email protected] February 2013 2 Introduction Ireland has a dense network of over 475 palaeoecological records of Quaternary origin. However, there are few late-Holocene vegetation records from Waterford and the extant ones are truncated (Mitchell et al. 2013). Thus the county presents a blank canvas regarding prehistoric vegetation dynamics. Likewise, possible traces in the environment of its well documented 18th century mining and potential earlier mining history have not been found so far. This study was commissioned by the Metal Links project, at the Copper Coast Geopark, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Ireland Wales Programme 2007 - 2013 (Interreg 4A). It aims to investigate vegetation dynamics, mining history and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains. Site description and sampling Ombrotrophic peat is the most promising medium for geochemical analysis since metal traces are thought to be immobile in this matrix (Mighall et al. 2009). Such deposits are equally well suited for microfossil analysis and for this reason the same cores were chosen for both analyses. The selection of potential study sites presented difficulties due to extensive local disturbance of peat sediments. Initial inspection of deposits on the flanks of the Comeragh Mountains revealed that past peat harvesting had removed or disturbed much of this material and thus rendered it unsuitable for analysis.

  • Tipperary News Part 6

    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.
