Notes
[edit]Note that under the Local Government Act, 1994 the electoral area of a local authority might differ from its administrative area. Some towns had electoral boundaries wider than their municipal boundaries; while the municipal boundary was required to be within a single county, the electoral boundary was not.[52] Thus, while Drogheda was entirely within County Louth, some electors in County Meath voted for Drogheda Borough Council and consequently for Louth County Council rather than Meath County Council; and similarly for County Laois residents voting for Carlow Urban District and Carlow County councils.[53] The changes of the Local Government Reform Act 2014 eliminated these anomalies.
Boundary Survey (Ireland) Act 1854 gives one power to amend and states process for amending. Probably earlier acts gave other powers to amend.
- s.3: When the Boundary Surveyor for the Time being shall find that any Change or Alteration has taken place in the Course of any River, Stream, or Fence which had before formed the Boundary of any County, Barony, Parish, Townland, or other Division or Denomination of Land, or in any Part of such Boundary, as marked out under the said recited Act, or that any Land has been reclaimed from the Sea or a Tidal River or a Lake, it shall be lawful for such Boundary Surveyor to ascertain, define, and mark out the present acknowledged or reputed Boundaries of every such County, Barony, Half Barony, Parish, Townland, or other Division or Denomination of Land, or of such Portion or Portions thereof respectively, as such Boundary Surveyor may deem it necessary to ascertain, define, or mark out.
- s.10: In all Cases in which it is proposed to make any Alteration of the Boundary of any County or Barony, the Boundary Surveyor shall submit to the Grand Jury of such County for Approval a Report setting forth the Detail of the proposed Alterations in such Boundaries, with the Grounds for making the same, accompanied by a Map showing the Boundary or Boundaries as originally laid down on the Ordnance Plans of such County or Barony; and in all Cases of Alteration in the Boundary between Counties a Report and explanatory Map shall be submitted for Approval to the Grand Juries of both Counties, and shall, after such Approval, be fiated by the Judge of Assize in each County at the same Spring or Summer Assizes, as the Case may be, before any further Proceedings take place in regard to the Alteration of such County Boundary: Provided always, that in case any Appeal shall have been lodged to Quarter Sessions against any such Alterations, such Reports shall not be so submitted until such Appeal shall have been determined.

[edit]1585: Mayo Galway Sligo
[edit]1401[55] | The county of Mayo may be said to have acquired definite shape in Sir Thomas [Mac Williams]'s reign as the lordship of Sir Edmond Albanagh's descendants, which was neither increased nor diminished until the lordship was made a county in the middle of the sixteenth century. By later arrangements the barony of Ross was transferred to O'Flaherty, and to the county of Galway, and the Ardnarea Bourke estate was thrown into the county of Sligo. ... The county of Sligo also took shape in this period as the lordship of the Clan Andrias O'Conor, whom O'Dowdas, O'Haras, O'Garas, and MacDonoghs acknowledged as chief. |
1574[56] | a paper called the Division of Connaught and Thomond, dated 27th March 1574 ... The barony of Ross was treated as part of lar-Connaught in the composition, as in the lordship of O'Flaherty, to whom the castle and lands of Ross had been given as an eric. The "Historia et Qenealogia Familiie de Burgo" omits it from the territories owing allegiance and tribute to MacWilliam. The arrangement was made before 1570, but the barony was considered to be in Mac William's country, held under him by O'Flaherty. The Partry portion was still earlier transferred to Carra. |
1585[57] | The indenture for the county of Mayo bears date of September 13, 1585. The barony of Ross is included in that of lar-Connaught, and the barony of Costello, called of Ballyhaunis, was let stand over on account of the wildness of the country. The barony of Ross was transferred to the county of Galway by Sir W[illiam] FitzWilliam, because the collector of the rent of Galway claimed it as included in Iar-Connaught according to the indenture [of the Composition of Connacht], and the collector of Mayo claimed it as in his county, and so the inhabitants were vexed. |
Know 1908 p.324 |
In earliest times this barony was in the territory of the Tuath Resent Umoir and of the Fartraige, whom the Conmaicne put out of sight. It was within the FitzGerald manor of Lough Mask. The barony was first laid out to comprise the lands of the Joys, the Walshes, and the Partry, in which MacThomas and MacTybod were chiefs. But it was in fact confined to the lands held under MacThomas, and those of Ross and Ballynonagh which were held by Sir Murrough O'Flaherty, who was considered to hold the entire barony under Mac William. The parish of Partry or Ballyoyey was in Carra when the composition of 1585 was made. MacThomas of Castlekirke was the head of the Joys, a very large tribe, spread all over the barony, divided into several clans. The first of the family must have had a grant from Maurice FitzGerald. The Plea Rolls of 3 Edw. II. show that the widow of Thomas Joy sued his son Richard for one-third of two vills in Connaught as dower. This Thomas may be Thomas Roe, son of Davock, son of Johnkin na Gasraighe, son of Seoigh, i.e. Joy, son of Sir David, son of the King of Wales, from whom, according to MacFirbis, all the Joys descended. Up to Johnkin the pedigree may be correct, and he be the first settler. The Joys do not come into view again until the latter quarter of the sixteenth century. The barony was afterwards transferred to Galway by Sir W. FitzWilliam, because the composition rent was claimed by the collector for Galway, being included in the Indenture of lar Connaught. |
Until the composition of Connacht, Joyce's country, otherwise the barony of Ross, was reckoned to be in County Mayo.[58]
Andrews 2003 says Joyces in Mayo and O'Flahertys in Galway were separately relevant during the composition, with Ross the territory of the former; Know 1908 says Ross was transferred to O'Flaherty at or before transfer to Galway.

1608 Leitrim Cavan
[edit]- Sullivan 1971 says "In 1584 Lord Deputy Perrott formed east Breifne into County Cavan, which became part of Ulster, west Breifne becoming Leitrim and remaining in Connacht. In 1608 two baronies, Tullyhaw and Tullyhunco, were detached from Leitrim and added to Cavan" [59]
- Not mentioned by NHI v.9 map 43 does not have it; "Leitrim 1583" and "Cavan 1579–83" do not have any transfers shown.
- Davies 1948:[60] "In June, 1579, [Hugh] O'Reilly consented to accept English government and to admit a sheriff. ... Sir Hugh died early in 1583. ... In November [1583] the commissioners decided that Sir John [O'Reilly] was to surrender the whole county of seven toughs, and to receive in return Baronies Cavan and Tullyvin (Tullygarvey) in fee simple, and the rents of Tullyhunco and Tullyhaw. ... Perhaps also some of [Sir John's] own followers were intriguing against him ; we hear for instance of a certain John Kernan of Aghewehan in Tullyhunco, who was clearly attempting in 1587 to obtain an independent position by promises of civilising his tenants."
- "Tollachconco" and "Tollagh Aghe" included in 1609 escheated maps of Cavan;
- Map says "Largie and Dowballie, being three ballybetaghes — this lande is in controversie between this countie and the county of Leytrim."[61]
- 1608 was beginning of plantation, so maybe it was all debatable 1579-1608 [and only the end bit, Largie and Dowballie, after that, with one part going to each county]
- 1911 Britannica "Cavan (county)": In 1579 Cavan was made shire ground as part of Connaught, and in 1584 it was formed into a county of Ulster by Sir John Perrott, and subdivided into seven baronies, two of which were assigned to Sir John O'Reilly and three to other members of the family; while the two remaining, possessed by the septs of Mackernon and Magauran, and situated in the mountains bordering on O'Rourke’s country, were left subject to their ancient tenures and the exactions of their Irish lord.
- Davies said:[64]
- [65] After him, Sir John Perrot, who held the last Parliament in this kingdom, did advance the reformation in three principal points. First, in establishing the great composition of Connaught, in which service the wisdom and industry of Sir Richard Bingham did concur with him ; next, in reducing unreformed parts of Ulster into seven shires, namely, Armagh, Monaghan, Tyrone, Colerain, Donegal, Fermanagh, and Cavan; though in his time the law was never executed in these new counties by any sheriffs, or justices of assize, but the people left to be ruled still by their own barbarous lords and laws."
- [66] As for Cavan, otherwise called Breny Orelye or O'Reilly's country, the late troubles had so unsettled the possessions thereof, which indeed were never well distinguished and established, as it was doubtful in whom the chiefry of that country rested; or if the chief lord had been known, yet was it as uncertain what demesnes or duties he ought to have. And for the particular tenants, they were so many times removed and rejected, as their titles and possessions were as doubtful as the lord's. True it is that Sir John Perrot, being Deputy, purposed the reformation and settling of this country; and to that end indentures were drawn between himself, in behalf of the late Queen on the one part, and Sir John O'Reilly, then chief lord of the country, on the other ; whereby Sir John O'Reilly did covenant to surrender the whole unto the Queen, and Sir John Perrott, on the other part, did covenant that Letters Patent should be made unto him of the whole. Howbeit, there followed no effect of this; for neither was there any surrender made by Sir John O'Reilly, neither was there any Patent granted unto him during Sir John Perrot's time. Marry, afterwards, when the late Lord Chancellor and Sir Henry Wallop were Lords Justices [1582–84], certain Commissioners were sent down to divide the country into baronies and to settle the chief septs and families therein, which they did in this manner: The whole country being divided into seven baronies, they assigned two unto Sir John O'Reilly, free from all public charges and contributions; a third barony they allotted to Philip O'Reilly, brother to Sir John O'Reilly; a fourth to Edmond O'Reilly, uncle to Sir John O'Reilly; a fifth to the sons of one Hugh O'Reilly, surnamed the Prior; and out of the three baronies whereof Sir John O'Reilly was not possessed, they reserved unto him a chief rent of 10s. out of every poll, being a portion of land containing threescore acres or thereabouts, in lieu of all Irish cuttings and taxes. As for the other two baronies possessed by the septs of M'Rernon and M'Gaurol, being remote and bordering upon O'Rorke's country, they were neglected and left subject still to the Irish exactions of the chief lord; but to the Crown they reserved upon the whole country 220 beeves, which the Deputy ever since hath taken for his provision. This division or establishment was made and reduced to writing, as one of the Commissioners who is yet living told me ; who told me withal that they were well paid for their pains, for he that had least had an hundred fat beeves given him by the country; yet cannot we find any return of this Commission either in the Council-book or in the Chancery. So as hitherto there were only projects made for the settling of the country, but nothing was really and effectually done; none of the rules and ceremonies of the law observed, either by accepting surrenders or regranting the land back again, or by any other lawful conveyance or execution of estates.
- Falkiner 1903:[67] "The boundaries of the counties forming the provinces of Connaught and Ulster were ascertained one after another by a series of Inquisitions between the years 1606 and 1610, which confirmed in the main the arrangements tentatively made by Perrot, though in the case of Ulster these were necessarily varied in some important respects, particularly as regards Londonderry, by the changes resulting from the Flight of the Earls and the Plantation of the northern province."
- John O'Donovan:
- Breifne Ui Raghallaigh (anglicised Brennie, and Breffny O’Reilly), was the ancient territory of the O'Reillys, and comprised the entire of the county of Cavan, except the baronies of Tullyhunco (Tealaċ Dhunċaḃa) and Tullyhaw (Tealaċ Eaċḃaċ), which were separated from Breffny O'Rourke, when the county of Cavan was formed.[68]
- The race of Samhradhan, i.e., the Meg-Samhradhaln or Magaurans of the territory of Teallach-Eathach, now Tullyhaw, in the County of Cavan. In 1585, this territory paid tribute to Sir John O'Reilly, but at a more remote period Magauran was tributary to O'Rourke, and was considered as belonging to West Breifne and the province of Connacht.[69]
- Tom Smith:[70] By the time the Uí Briúin Bréifne arrived in West Bréifne they had split into four dominant groups which would later evolve into the clans of O'Rourke, O'Reilly, McGovern and McKiernan. The O'Rourkes remained as lords of West Bréifne while the other three clans settled within the boundaries of the modern County Cavan, with the O'Reillys eventually becoming rulers of the central and eastern parts of the county. The McGoverns and McKiernans were quasi-autonomous lords of the baronies of Tullyhaw and Tullyhunco in the western part of County Cavan, maintaining a balance of power between the competing O'Rourke and O'Reilly lordships.
1600–1656: Durrow Queen's Kilkenny
[edit]Durrow manor, including Castle Durrow, was excluded from Queen's County until 1841. Some sources suggest Durrow was included in the original 1600 annexation of Upper Ossory to Queen's County, and that some time later the Earl or Duke of Ormond secured Durrow's transfer [back] to Kilkenny. I suspect this account is mistaken.
Tighe 1802 attributed the change to a "private act" secured by the "Duke of Ormond".[71] Lewis 1837 says "Earl of Ormonde" by "Act of Parliament".[72] There is no likely statute listed in the public acts of the period,[73] or the private acts and instruments scheduled in recent Statute Law Revision Acts.[74]
Per 1574–77 decisions of the Privy Council of Ireland,[75] Durrow as a manor of the Bishop of Ossory was excluded from McGillpatrick's country, and hence, I believe, excluded from the 1600 annexation. A list of "Tenants of the Earl of Ormond, 1595-6" includes "Mary nyn Ee, widow of Brien McDonill and tenant of Durrow, Co. Kilkenny", whereas "Upper Ossory" is used to locate places in another contemporary document, proving that it could have been used for Durrow if that were its actual division.[76]
If it was in Upper Ossory and transferred back, post-1600 dated documents placing it in Kilkenny will give a latest possible date for the transfer. The logainm.ie text records are:[77]
Date Spelling Document ref 1566 Dorrow Fiants Eliz. 897 1571 Dwrrowe Fiants Eliz. 1786 1571 Dorowe Calendar of Ormond Deeds, Vol V p. 181 1655 Durrow Down Survey map of Galmoy barony[78] 1655 Durrow Down Survey map of Galmoy portion of Durrow civil parish[79] 1660c Durrow Books of Survey and Distribution (Co. Laois), p. 129 1685 Durrow Hiberniae Delineatio, William Petty
The Down Survey maps give 1655 as the latest possible date of a putative transfer. Although "Laois Archeology" webpage says "As we see on the Down Survey Map of Queens County (1654-6), Durrow is considered very much as part of County Laois",[80] it is only the part of the civil parish of Durrow lying outside the manor of Durrow which was within Upper Ossory. (In fact, even today, one townland of the civil parish is in Kilkenny, namely Ballynaslee.[81]) The 1655 date is not bested by recourse to Index to the prerogative wills of Ireland, 1536–1810, where the earliest reference to Durrow is 1695.[82] Likewise in Inquisitionum in officio rotulorum cancellariæ, all "Durrowe" matches are for Durrow, County Offaly.[83] Notices of Durrow from records (relating to Rothe family, which built Rothe House, Kilkenny) of the Confederation of Kilkenny in 1640s might give county, but presumably destroyed in 1922:[84]
- An offshoot of this family of Irishtown settled in Durrow. Jenkin Roth brought an action on the 15th January, 1645, in the Court of the Confederates at Kilkenny, against Thomas O'Holigan, Loghlin O'Holigan and John O'Murroghoe who had carried off the corn out of the plaintiff's haggard at Durrow. (Kilkenny Confederates' Orders on Process, p. 46.) On the 26th of July, 1645, at the suit of John Bird, Thomas O'Holigan, and John O'Clonan, and others of the inhabitants of the town of Durrow v. John Shortall, and eleven others, including James Roth, and Patr: Roth, an attachment was issued against James Rothe and Edmond Butler (ibid., p. 34). James Rooth of Durrow styles himself "husbandman" in his will (25th October, 1656, pr. 30th May, 1661); but a commission was issued 16th November, 1658, to swear John Cleere and Margaret Cleere, alias Rooth, alias Purcell, his wife, to administer the goods of James Rooth, late of Durragh, "gent." He m. Margaret Purcell, and by her, who re-married John Cleere of Ballincran, gent., left two sons and a daughter —Bernard, William, and Rose. The second son, William, was probably father of Bernard Rothe fitz William of Clone, and William Rothe of Durrow, mentioned above [as next heirs in 1694 will of Marcus Rothe, son of Oliver Rothe of Irishtown]
Robert Wallis wrote from Kilkenny to Lady Elizabeth Preston 29 July 1629:[85]
- I have been tenant to my noble lord your father and my noble lady your mother. It is not unknown that I have received much trouble and have been at great charges as well in defending their right in my farm of Durrow as also in building.
