Tipperary Matters

Lar Corbett has to get out the Jeyes fluid and white spirits and scrub down the front of the pub I see

What that poem shows is that there isn’t a lack of plantation surnames in Nenagh anyways.

Significant Protestant population around North Tipp and South Offaly; a lot of Cromwell’s soldiers were given land around Puckaun and Cloughjordan. Lorrha would be another hotbed. Basically a lot of the land between Birr and Lough Derg

Some amount of orange lodges in South Offaly back in the day

Fair few around Borrisokane too.

Out of curiosity, I wonder what these lodges have been turned into? Knocked? Converted into something else? Abandoned etc? It would be interesting to document the buildings that remain in the 26 counties and see what they are being used for now.

Rathdowney. Of course.
