HISTORY: Valuation Document for Keylod At the time of Griffiths John Sandes was renting it along with Heffernan’s from William Sandes. John Healy took it on in 1867 and held it until 1892. Nobody then until 1898 when Bryan Galvin took it. He only held it for a year. Next up was a John Moloney. Then Maurice Corridon came along in 1912. He purchased it from Sandes in 1914. Maurice must have died young because his wife Nora became the owner in 1920. She died around 1944 and then it was in the name of James Corridon from 1946 until 1955. Then Michael Corridon until 1958 when Jeremiah Clancy took over.
Before Griffiths Primary Valuation was published there were a number of interim books. These are known variously as Tenure Books, House Books, Field Books, etc. They are held in the National Archives. Not all the books have survived. But the one for Islandanny has. When they compiled the first book John Moloney hadn’t yet come back from Monagay. Instead there were five Moloney households on the farm in Sluicequarter. The farm was shared by Thomas (jun.), Denis and Daniel. Then Thomas (sen.) and Michael were renting small plots from the three younger men. Thomas Sen. didn’t pay any rent for his plot and he also had the “grass for one cow”. He was obviously the father of the three men who shared the farm. I’m not sure about the exact relation of Michael to the others. He may have been a brother of Thomas (sen.) but maybe not. I knew of him already – he continued renting his plot until the 1870s. (The plot is basically what Goulds became later – also known as The Jury.)
THE ROAD FROM ABBEYFEALE: Abbeyfeale was a vital hub in the early part of the nineteenth century in the national network of horse drawn transport. On November 4, 1836 Mr. Daniel O’Connell, the Liberator, had the services of a driver and four horses on a journey from Abbeyfeale to Newcastle West. The four horses were named Jack, Major, Nancy and Grey. O’Connell paid one pound and eight shillings for this service. His driver was paid seven shillings. This information is gleaned from the books of accounts of Leahy’s Inn and Livery Station located at the Square in Abbeyfeale at that time. An original copy of the accounts for the years 1834 to 1842 is the source material which Dr. Pat Wallace will draw on for his lecture entitled “The Road from Abbeyfeale” which he will deliver to Rathkeale & District Historical Society this Friday evening October 21. The lecture will examine all the horse drawn traffic through Abbeyfeale in the years 1834 to 1842. It will also tell of the guests, carriages, drivers and horses as well as details of the cost of stay and other matters. Dr. Wallace is the former Director of the National Museum of Ireland and was the chief archaeologist with overall responsibility for the Viking Dublin excavations at Wood Quay and Fishamble Street in 1974. You, your family and friends are welcome to attend this free lecture in the Arts Centre at the Carnegie Library in the Rathkeale area offices of Limerick City and County Council. Starting time is 8.30pm. The Arts Centre can be reached by lift and by stairs.
KNOCK: Marbhna – A Requiem Mass’ composed by Odhran O’Casaide at Knock Basilica 12 noon Sunday November 6th, commemorating all those who died in 1916.
Requiem 1916 Marbhna, in Irish, featuring the voice of Sibéal Ní Casaide, is a solemn expression of commemoration. It sets out to explore the beauty of sean nós voice, together with chamber choir and orchestra, classical solo voices, traditional and early music instruments. The blend of Irish and classical music reflects two great musical traditions in Ireland at the time of the Rising. The musical motifs are carried seamlessly from genre to genre. It is the first orchestral setting of a Dies Ires in the Irish language.

Fields of Athenry:
Low, lie the Fields of Athenry,
Where once, we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the Fields of Athenry (repeat)
Stand Up and Fight:
Stand Up and Fight,
Until you hear the bell,
Stand toe to toe,
Trade blow for blow,
Keep punching ’til you make your punches tell,
Show that crowd what you know,
Until you hear that bell,
That final bell,
Stand Up and Fight like hell
Speak Your Mind
