History Of Carrick On Suir Carrick-on-Suir began life as Carrig Mac Griffin when the grant of 3 fairs per year was given to Matthew Fitzgriffin, Lord of the manor of Carrick. The history of the town starts before the year 823 AD, when Turgesius, a Norse leader, began to build forts at the mouths of the rivers when they came on invasions and, instead of sailing off with their booty, they settled into these forts and later built walled settlements. One of their main settlements was Waterford which commanded three river mouths - the Suir, the Nore and the Barrow. View

Thurles Famine And War Museums The Protestant Church of St. Mary’s in Thurles is the site of the official Pre-Reformation Church of Thurles. The original structure was built by the Normans, in the 12th century, to provide them with a separate and more exclusive place of worship. Some time after the erection of St. Mary’s church, it, together with the native church and those of Rahealty, Shyan and Athnid were given into the custody of the Abbot of Abbington, head of the Cistercian monastery which had been founded by Theobald Butler. The Abbot became the Rector of these churches. He also received the associated glebelands and tithe revenues. As was the practice, the Abbot paid a vicar or vicars, appointed by the Archbishop of Cashel, to perform the spiritual duties of these local churches. View

Some Irish Superstitions Superstition is generally regarded as the offspring of the religious instinct in man misled by ignorance. Few other human weakness’ have been so unsparingly and so unanimously denounced, and yet, it survives: the savage carries his charm, and the modern motorist or the regiment on the battlefield has its mascot. Above or behind probably a million doors in England the horseshoe will be found nailed up, and there is a general desire to avoid association with the unlucky number thirteen. Neither of these were Irish superstitions, but we are borrowing them, for to the anglicised Irish mind even superstition is respectable when it happens to be English. Irish superstitions on the other hand are rapidly dying out, not because they are superstitious, but because they are only Irish, and have no place in English social life. View
