Wild swans forsake Cahercorney marshes
Cahercorney · townland · Limerick
Wild swans have abandoned the marshes of Cahercorney, Carrickee, and other parts of County Limerick, and flights of wild geese are no longer as numerous as in former times.
Read the passage
Neither in the fauna, flora, nor sylva of tliis county is there anythinix that requires particular notice. Wood is scarce, thougli in this and tlie county Clare the county is famous for orchards, producing the cider called Cacagee. Two of these near Loughmore, have of late years been cut down. The eagles that once frequented Lough Gur are hardly ever seen now, and even the singing birds and other small birds have been nearly annihilated by the severity of past winters. The wild swans have forsaken the marshes of Cahcrcorney, Carrickee, and other parts of the county, and the flights of wild geese are no longer so numerous as of old. The county must have been formerly well wooded, if we are to judge from the oak, fir, beech, and other trees, which we find in the bogs, and which, from their bearing the marks of fire, seem to have been cut and burned by the natives. A " moving bog", like that which created such a sensation about 1822 near Clara, in the King's County, occasioned similar excitement at Kilmallock on the 7th of July, IfiDT. Bones and horns of the L-ish elk have been found near Lough Gur, at Castlefarm, Rathcannon, and at Knockee, one of which, a perfect specimen, Archdeacon Maunsell sent to the Royal Dublin Society. Flint instruments, including celts, spear heads, etc., have been found at Lough- Gur.

William de Prendergast, Mayor of Limerick
Limerick · city · Limerick · 1318
William de Prendergast of Kilbyde served as mayor of Limerick in 1318, during the reign of Edward II. The Prendergast name frequently occurs in records of this period in the Limerick area.
Read the passage
Wearied with this life, but still a warrior even when a monk, Prendergast gave his lands of that name in Pembrokeshire to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, and joined that order. Their chief establishment in Ireland was the famous Hospital of Kilmainham ; and of this monastery he was Prior, and died in possession of that dignity in 1205. William, his younger son, was ancestor of the Prendergasts of Mayo, called Mac Maurice after their great ancestor, and who gave their name to the barony of Clanmorris, Claremorris, and other localities in Mayo. Philip, the eldest son, was married to Maude, the daughter of the ill-fated Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster, who married Strongbow's daughter by hia first marriage, and was slain in battle a few days later. From him descended the Prendergasts of Enniscorthy, Newcastle, Beauver, and Blitchelstown. The latter was formerly described as in the County of Limerick. William do Prendergast of Kilbyde was maj^or of Limerick in 1318 — See the Plea, No. 83, in the 11th of Edward II. And the name frequently occurs about this time, the family estates extending from Doneraile, by Mitchelstown, to Newcastle, near Clonmel, a mountain district of which the northern slopes still partly belong to the county of Limerick.
' It appears from the Irish State Papers tliat even so late as the year 1503, the Kavenagha, the representatives of tlie royal house of Leinster, were paid eighty marks yearlj- by the English Government as rios dhti, or black rent, besides being allowed £40 by the county Wexford ort Account of their descent, or i-ather of their still remaining powers to make themselves dreaded ^vithin the limits of their ancient soveieigntj-.

About six or seven years before 1815, a bell was hung over the dwelling of the Franciscan Fathers in Newgate Lane, Limerick, preceding the bell later erected at St. Michael's Church.
Read the passage
But It was not in his public acts as protesting against the conduct of the government and its partizans, that Dr. Tuohy signalized himself One of the greatest boons that ever had been conferred on the Catholics of Limerick was mainly attributable to his exertions. He conceived the design of calling to the aid of the education of the poor the invaluable services of the Christian Brothers. The order had been for some few years established in Waterford by its eminent founder, Mr. Edmond Rice ; and the jjrcat benefit it had conferred on that city was sufficient to induce the blsliop to invite Mr. Rice to Limerick, in order that he might establish his order in the city. Accordingly, In June, 1816, the Schools in Sexton Street- and in Clare Street, Limerick, were established by JNIr. Rice, who sent Mr. Grace and other Christian Brothers to take charge. The year previous, namely on the 1st of January, 1815, a bell was for the first time erected in the parochial church of St. Michael's, which, though built thirty-six years before, had not been furnished with a bell, though six or seven years before a bell was hung over the dwelling of the Franciscan Fathers In Newgate Lane.
