  • The Castlecomer Plateau
    23 The Castlecomer plateau By T. P. Lyng, N.T. HE Castlecomer Plateau is the tableland that is the watershed between the rivers Nore and Barrow. Owing T to the erosion of carboniferous deposits by the Nore and Barrow the Castlecomer highland coincides with the Castle­ comer or Leinster Coalfield. Down through the ages this highland has been variously known as Gower Laighean (Gabhair Laighean), Slieve Margy (Sliabh mBairrche), Slieve Comer (Sliabh Crumair). Most of it was included within the ancient cantred of Odogh (Ui Duach) later called Ui Broanain. The Normans attempted to convert this cantred into a barony called Bargy from the old tribal name Ui Bairrche. It was, however, difficult territory and the Barony of Bargy never became a reality. The English labelled it the Barony of Odogh but this highland territory continued to be march lands. Such lands were officially termed “ Fasach ” at the close of the 15th century and so the greater part of the Castle­ comer Plateau became known as the Barony of Fassadinan i.e. Fasach Deighnin, which is translated the “ wi lderness of the river Dinan ” but which officially meant “ the march land of the Dinan.” This no-man’s land that surrounds and hedges in the basin of the Dinan has always been a boundary land. To-day it is the boundary land between counties Kil­ kenny, Carlow and Laois and between the dioceses of Ossory, Kildare and Leighlin. The Plateau is divided in half by the Dinan-Deen river which flows South-West from Wolfhill to Ardaloo. The rim of the Plateau is a chain of hills averag­ ing 1,000 ft.

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. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • History and Explanation of the House Crests
    History and Explanation of the House Crests In August 2014, the first team of House student leaders and House Deans created the original House crests. The crests reveal each House’s unique identity, and represent important aspects in the life of Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers. Members of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers founded O’Dea High School in 1923. These crests help keep the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice alive at O’Dea. Edmund Rice founded some of the earliest Christian Brother Schools in County Dublin. By 1907, there were ten Christian Brother school communities throughout the county. Dublin’s crest’s cross is off centered like the shield of St. John. Blue represents the Virgin Mother and yellow represents Christ’s triumph over death on the cross. Dublin’s motto “Trean-Dilis” is Gaelic for “strength and faithfulness.” The dragon represents strength; the Gaelic knot represents brotherhood; the cross represents our faith and religious identity; and the hand over heart represents diversity. County Limerick was home to some of the earliest Christian Brother Schools, beginning in 1816. Limerick’s crest boasts five main symbols. The River Shannon runs through the center. The flame on the crest stands for excellence. The Irish knot symbolizes the brotherhood, exemplified by Limerick’s caring and supportive relationships. The Irish elk, a giant extinct deer, symbolizes both strength and courage. Limerick’s final symbol is a multicolored shamrock representing O’Dea’s four houses. Limerick’s motto is “Strength in Unity.” County Kilkenny is known as the birthplace of Edmund Rice.

  • The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People
    The War of Independence in County Kilkenny: Conflict, Politics and People Eoin Swithin Walsh B.A. University College Dublin College of Arts and Celtic Studies This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the Master of Arts in History July 2015 Head of School: Dr Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin Supervisor of Research: Professor Diarmaid Ferriter P a g e | 2 Abstract The array of publications relating to the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) has, generally speaking, neglected the contributions of less active counties. As a consequence, the histories of these counties regarding this important period have sometimes been forgotten. With the recent introduction of new source material, it is now an opportune time to explore the contributions of the less active counties, to present a more layered view of this important period of Irish history. County Kilkenny is one such example of these overlooked counties, a circumstance this dissertation seeks to rectify. To gain a sense of the contemporary perspective, the first two decades of the twentieth century in Kilkenny will be investigated. Significant events that occurred in the county during the period, including the Royal Visit of 1904 and the 1917 Kilkenny City By-Election, will be examined. Kilkenny’s IRA Military campaign during the War of Independence will be inspected in detail, highlighting the major confrontations with Crown Forces, while also appraising the corresponding successes and failures throughout the county. The Kilkenny Republican efforts to instigate a ‘counter-state’ to subvert British Government authority will be analysed. In the political sphere, this will focus on the role of Local Government, while the administration of the Republican Courts and the Republican Police Force will also be examined.
