    The O'Mahony of Kerry at the DIB, a colourful Parnellite character I had never heard of until today. O'Mahony retired to a hunting lodge at Coolballintaggart, Co. Wicklow, built elaborate gardens, bred Irish wolfhounds, and lived as an ‘Irish chieftain’ with saffron kilt and attendant bagpipers. There is a pic of him with a wolfhound and a Gandalf beard at the bottom of this history page

    it might be small but Grange Con (and the O' Mahony) get a big spread in Wikipedia!

    It is interesting to see a Parnellite in 1915 talking about "our new-born liberty", they really were banking on Home Rule becoming a thing whenever WW1 ended, until it was all upended in 1916.

    GeoHive 25" map In this streetview you can see that the buildings on this site now are called RAILWAY STABLES Eiretrains says the station and whole branch line to Tullow closed completely in 1959, so I think this must be early 60s, the tracks are not overgrown yet.
