    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.

  25. 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.

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.
