  • 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”.

  • 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.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

The topography is mountainous in the NE and east, which is underlain by the resistant sandstones and mudstones of the Devonian Old Red Sandstones and Silurian rocks; here, elevations are typically >100 mAOD. In contrast, the terrain is relatively flat-lying in areas underlain by impure limestones, where elevations are typically 20-60 mAOD, but up to 80 mAOD towards the surface water catchment divides in the north and south. Ground elevation decreases towards the west of Topography the GWB, towards the karstified limestone lowlands. River flows radiate outwards from the upland areas, flowing generally westwards.
