47-789: Carrigdhoun GAA is one of the eight baronies or Gaelic Athletic Association divisions that make up Cork . The division is made up of eleven Gaelic Athletic Association teams, making it one of the smaller divisions. The division is also known as the South East division. It extends from just south of Cork city down to Ballinspittle in the south of the county. The 11 teams are Ballinhassig , Ballygarvan , Ballymartle from Riverstick , Belgooly , Carrigaline , Crosshaven , Courcey Rovers from Ballinadee and Ballinspittle , Kinsale , Shamrocks from Ringaskiddy / Monkstown , Tracton from Minane Bridge , and Valley Rovers from Innishannon . The division selects players from all clubs except any that
94-488: A municipal corporation which had parallel authority with the grand jury; however, each county corporate except Carrickfergus included rural "liberties" outside the municipal boundary. The Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840 abolished the corporations of Carrickfergus and Galway, while the Counties and Boroughs (Ireland) Act 1840, passed simultaneously, transferred the liberties of the other six counties corporate to
141-636: A barony together with the town, while the liberties on the west bank of the River Bann were attached to the separate half-barony of Coleraine . The lands of the Lordship of Newry , originating with the Cistercians of Newry Abbey and passing to the Earl of Kilmorey , were similarly regularised into a barony of County Down and a civil parish of County Armagh . There were eight counties corporate:
188-598: A focus for local patriotism. Some public houses and older provincial hotels bear the name of the barony in which they are located; likewise some clubs of the Gaelic Athletic Association , for example Carbury (County Kildare), Castlerahan , and Kilmurry Ibrickane . Four of the six regional divisions of Cork GAA are named after baronies corresponding to major parts of their respective areas: Carbery , Duhallow , Imokilly , and Muskerry . The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331. A figure of 273
235-713: A large one, or were created without regard for the earlier boundaries. In the Norman period most Gaelic chiefs were killed, expelled, or subordinated by the new Norman lord; in the Tudor period, many Gaelic and Hibernicized lords retained their land by pledging allegiance to the Crown under surrender and regrant . Sir John Perrot 's commissioners reported 184 "cantreds, otherwise called hundreds or baronies" in 1589; William Petty reported 252 baronies in 1672. Baronies were sometimes subdivided, and occasionally combined. The parts of
282-488: A local jury picked by the county grand jury from among the barony's highest rate-payers, according to a complicated formula. The baronial presentment sessions were a convoluted process, lacking public confidence and marred by allegations of corruption and favouritism. Special emergency sessions were held during the Famine of the 1840s for the make-work schemes. Several parallel local administrative divisions were formed in
329-400: A specific royal charter granting them borough status similar to English law . These were originally independent of the baronies, which were rural divisions of the "county at large". By the time of Beaufort's 1792 Memoir of Ireland , this was true of fewer towns. Beaufort distinguishes between baronies and "peculiar districts"; the latter encompassing counties corporate and liberties in
376-416: A subdivided barony were called half-baronies , but had the same legal standing. Some subdivisions came about when new counties were formed, and the new boundary split a pre-existing barony. In three cases, there are adjacent half-baronies in neighbouring counties with the same name: Rathdown ( Dublin — Wicklow ), Fore ( Meath — Westmeath ), and Ballymoe ( Galway — Roscommon ). Subdivision happened especially in
423-520: Is also quoted, by combining those divided into half-baronies, as by east–west, north–south, or upper/middle/lower divisions. Every point in Ireland is in precisely one of the listed divisions. However, the municipal area of the four cities with barony status in 1898 has extended since then into the surrounding baronies. Prior to 1898, the baronies around Dublin City were shrunk according as they ceded land to
470-604: Is senior (at present Courcey Rovers in hurling and Valley Rovers and Carrigaline in football) to represent the division in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship and in the Cork Senior Football Championship . The division's team wear a black and gold strip. The division organises championships from Junior and Under 21 levels. It used to run competitions from Under-12 to Minor (Under-18) until these were reorganised by
517-576: The Irish House of Commons , the election was held in the county town , with a separate polling booth for electors resident in each barony or half-baroiny. The single-seat divisions into which the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 split most Irish county constituencies were defined largely or exclusively in terms of the baronies which they comprised; however, in some cases a barony was split parish by parish between two divisions. The 1891 census
SECTION 10
#1732787635737564-468: The counties of England were divided. Baronies were created during the Tudor reconquest of Ireland , replacing the earlier cantreds formed after the original Norman invasion . Some early baronies were later subdivided into half baronies with the same standing as full baronies. Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in
611-525: The "County of the City" of each of Cork , Dublin , Limerick , Kilkenny , and Waterford , and the "County of the Town" of each of Carrickfergus , Drogheda and Galway . These were excluded from the enclosing "county-at-large" and exercised at a single level the functions which elsewhere were split between county and barony level. Thus, they had "baronial presentment sessions" although they were not strictly speaking baronies. Each such city or town also had
658-465: The 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 . Subsequent adjustments of county boundaries mean that some baronies now straddle two counties. The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331, with an average area of 255 km (98 sq mi; 63,000 acres); therefore, each county was divided, on average, into 10 or 11 baronies. The island of Ireland
705-736: The 19th century, when qualifiers "Upper"/"Lower"(/"Middle"), "North"/"South", or "East/"West" were used for the half-baronies. The main basis for this subdivision was the Grand Jury (Ireland) Act, 1836 , which empowered a county's grand jury to divide baronies of at least 45,000 acres (18,000 ha) and unite baronies totalling at most 40,000 acres (16,000 ha). An 1837 act relaxed these restrictions for County Fermanagh , where many baronies were split by Lough Erne . The baronies of Iveagh, Muskerry, and Connello were each subdivided twice: Upper and Lower Iveagh each have Upper and Lower Halves; East and West Muskerry each have East and West Divisions;
752-469: The Cork County Board. The division was formed in 1926 when the county was divided into 8 different divisions. This Cork GAA club related article is a stub .

Barony (Ireland) In Ireland , a barony ( Irish : barúntacht , plural barúntachtaí ) is a historical subdivision of a county , analogous to the hundreds into which
799-598: The English colony as its influence retreated to the Pale in the fourteenth century, and when the Tudors and Stuarts revived and extended county government, the baronies which they delimited often bore little relation to the earlier cantreds. Most cantreds corresponded to the túath ('country') or trícha cét ('thirty hundred [men]') of a Gaelic chief. However, sometimes baronies combined small territories, or split
846-482: The Irish to pay tribute. This led to renewed disapproval, but Lacy remained in Ireland and occupied himself as before with castle-building. In 1186 Hugh de Lacy was killed by Gilla-Gan-Mathiar O'Maidhaigh, while he was supervising the construction of a Motte castle at Durrow at the instigation of An tSionnach and O'Breen . Prince John was promptly sent over to Ireland to take possession of his lands. Lacy's body
893-433: The Irish. In 1181 , Lacy was recalled from his royal post for having married the daughter of Ruadri O Conchobair, King of Connaught and deposed High King of Ireland , without the permission of Henry. He was sent back the following winter, although with a co-adjutor, Robert of Shrewsbury, one of the royal clerks. Early in 1185, Henry sent his son John over to Ireland, who complained to his father that Lacy would not permit
940-672: The adjacent baronies. Those of Kinsale, Callen, and Kilmallock are now counted as baronies. A 1791 act dealt with the two in County Londonderry; it made the North West Liberties of Londonderry , together with the city, into a barony, while the liberties on the east bank of the River Foyle were attached to the half barony of Tirkeeran . Similarly, the North East Liberties of Coleraine formed
987-399: The adjoining county-at-large. The transferred area was sometimes assigned to one or more existing county baronies, but sometimes made a barony in its own right. The reduced-size counties corporate continued till the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 , at which point each of those of Kilkenny and the three towns was merged with a neighbouring county to form a new administrative county , while
SECTION 20
#17327876357371034-442: The baronial presentment sessions were abolished. While baronies continue to be officially defined units, they are no longer used for many administrative purposes. Their official status is illustrated by Placenames Orders made since 2003, where official Irish names of baronies are listed under "Administrative units". Baronies continue to be used in land registration , and specification such as in planning permissions . For example,
1081-491: The coastal land units will be extended accordingly. For example, a 1994 statutory instrument extended the boundary of the Barony of Arklow , along with the boundaries of the county ( Wicklow ), the district electoral division (Arklow Rural), the civil parish ( Arklow ), and the townlands (Rock Big, Rock Little, and Money Big). The Local Government (Ireland) Act also caused a number of county boundaries to be modified, with
1128-746: The environs of some of the older or larger towns and cities. The liberties listed by Beaufort separately from baronies are those of Kinsale , Mallow and Youghal in County Cork ; Callan in County Kilkenny ; Kilmallock in County Limerick ; Derry and Coleraine in County Londonderry ; and Wexford in County Wexford . Of these, those of Wexford, Mallow, and Youghal are no longer counted as separate from
1175-480: The expanding city; but there is now land which is both within the current city boundaries and within one of the pre-1898 county baronies. Notably, the Barony of Dublin, created in 1842, is almost entirely within the city, although still separate from the Barony of Dublin City. Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, 4th Baron Lacy ( Anglo-Norman : Huge de Laci ; before 1135 – 25 July 1186),
1222-402: The form for registration of a freehold property includes a schedule "To contain description of the property, giving area, townland, barony and county, or, if in a city or urban district, the street or road and city or urban district". Barony boundaries have remained essentially unchanged since 1898. An exception occurs when land is reclaimed from the sea , whereupon the maritime boundary of
1269-709: The midlands and Munster. Likewise the "precincts" into which the plantation of Ulster was organised were mostly coterminous with baronies, though some were split or combined. In certain counties after the Cromwellian reconquest , Adventurers got lands in half the baronies, with soldiers in the other half. The Irish who had forfeited their lands in those regions were resettled in Connacht and Clare , with each county of origin assigned to particular destination baronies. William Petty 's Down Survey of 1655–6 collected statistics and produced maps at barony level to assist
1316-573: The mill which no women enter ) Lacy only escaped from Dublin with difficulty; he seems to have left the city in the charge of Richard de Clare by the king's orders, and to have commenced securing Meath by the construction of castles. Among these was Trim Castle , which was put in charge of Hugh Tyrrel . The Song of Dermot and the Earl states, "And Skryne he then gave by charter to Adam de Feypo he gave it", and he built his castle there. After this Lacy went back to England. On 29 December 1172 he
1363-410: The names of administrative baronies for which there is no corresponding hereditary or prescriptive barony . In counties Louth and Meath , the administrative subdivisions were called "baronies" from the beginning, originally as portions given by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath to his vassals . Further south the name "cantred" was used till the fifteenth century. The cantreds declined with the rest of
1410-490: The nineteenth century, which were not based on the barony. The Poor Law Unions were established in 1838, each centred on an eponymous town; most new or altered responsibilities were given to them in subsequent decades. These Unions which were divided into district electoral divisions (DEDs) for funding purposes. Petty sessions courts for civil cases and quarter sessions for criminal cases used still another set of land divisions. For each two-seat county constituency in
1457-430: The other four counties of cities each became a county borough . Both before and after 1898, where a statute presupposed that a county was divided into baronies, judges sometimes construed it by assuming that each county corporate constituted a single barony. The various Plantations of Ireland were organised largely by barony. Different categories of English and Scottish settlers were planted in particular baronies in

1504-611: The reorganisation. Acts of 1787 and 1792 allowed the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to appoint a constable for each barony, and the county grand jury to appoint up to 16 sub-constables. These powers were seldom used and the constables had few powers; they were usually older men nicknamed "old Barnys", with the archetypal "old Barny McKeown". They were superseded by the Royal Irish Constabulary . The cess to pay for roads, bridges, and other public works
1551-622: The result that a number of baronies now cross county boundaries. This can cause confusion to genealogy researchers, who may be unable to find an area referred to as being in a particular county in 19th century sources in the modern county. Most markedly, the entire territory of the small barony of Kilculliheen was moved from County Waterford to County Kilkenny . Likewise in 1976, when suburbs of Drogheda were transferred from County Meath to County Louth, barony boundaries were not adjusted. The marginal relevance of baronies means many people have no idea which barony they live in. However, some remain
1598-555: The third time jointly with the Bishop of Salisbury. King Henry's ostensible grant of Meath to Lacy was not accepted by Tighearnán Ó Ruairc , King of Bréifne , who ruled it at that time. Ó Ruairc refused to concede, but parleyed with Lacy on the Hill of Ward , in Meath. After negotiations stalled, a dispute ensued in which an interpreter was killed by a blow aimed at Lacy, who fled; Ó Ruairc
1645-466: The western divisions split from Upper and Lower Connello were named Shanid and Glenquin respectively. When County Tipperary was split into North and South Ridings in 1838, the barony of Kilnamanagh was split into Upper and Lower half-baronies. At the Reformation the parishes for civil purposes were the ecclesiastical parishes of the established Church of Ireland . Originally each parish
1692-543: Was "shired" into counties in two distinct periods: the east and south during the Anglo-Norman period (from the 1169 invasion to the early fourteenth century) and the rest in the Tudor conquest of the sixteenth century. "Barony" was used in three overlapping but distinct senses in the early period: Over the centuries, these senses diverged, and many administrative baronies were not associated with feudal or noble titles. Spurious "barony" titles have been sold by using
1739-583: Was a benefactor of Llanthony Priory and also of many churches in Ireland, including the abbey of Trim. Hugh de Lacy was married twice. Before 1155 Hugh married Rohese of Monmouth (also known as Rose of Monmouth or Roysya de Monemue). She was the granddaughter of Gilbert Fitz Richard . Strongbow was another grandchild of Fitz Richard. Hugh and Rohese had at least 8 children, 4 sons and 4 daughters: Rohese died before 1180. Hugh married secondly Princess Rose Ní Conchobair , daughter of King of Ireland , Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair . They had at least 2 children,
1786-672: Was an Anglo-Norman landowner and royal office-holder. He had substantial land holdings in Herefordshire and Shropshire . Following his participation in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland , he was granted, in 1172, the lands of the Kingdom of Meath by the Anglo-Norman King Henry II , but he had to gain control of them. The Lordship of Meath was then the most extensive liberty in Ireland . Hugh de Lacy
1833-494: Was at Canterbury , where, according to a story preserved by Giraldus, he reproved Archbishop Richard of Dover for his boastful language. Next year he was fighting for King Henry in France and held Verneuil against Louis VII for a month; but at the end of that time, the town was forced to capitulate. Lacy was sent back to Ireland as procurator-general in 1177, soon after the death of Richard de Clare. The grant of Meath to Lacy
1880-640: Was initially buried at Durrow Abbey . In 1195, the Archbishops of Cashel and Dublin disinterred his body and reinterred his remains at Bective Abbey in Meath and his head in St Thomas's Abbey , Dublin. A long controversy was then carried on between the two abbeys for his body, settled only in 1205 when it was disinterred again and reburied in St Thomas's Abbey, in the tomb of Lacy's first wife. Lacy
1927-560: Was killed by a spear-thrust as he mounted his horse, and he was decapitated. His head was impaled over the gate of Dublin Castle and was later sent to Henry II. The Annals of the Four Masters say that Ó Ruairc was treacherously slain. From the account given by Gerald of Wales , it would appear that there was a plot to destroy Ó Ruairc. Gerald of Wales also related the following legend of Féchín and Hugh de Lacy: " Chapter LII ( Of

1974-506: Was now confirmed, with the additions of Offaly , Kildare , and Wicklow . As governor of Ireland Lacy secured Leinster and Meath, building numerous castles, while leaving the Irish in possession of their lands. There were accusations that he intended to seize the sovereignty of the island for himself. The author of the Gesta Henrici , however, says that Lacy lost his favour with Henry in consequence of complaints of his injustice by
2021-437: Was sent to receive the submission of Rory , High King of Ireland . Before Henry's return to England about the end of March 1172, Lacy was granted Meath by the service of fifty knights and with almost royal authority; he was also put in charge of Dublin Castle . As such, it is generally accepted that Lacy was de facto the first Viceroy of Ireland , a position he was to hold three times (in 1172, 1179, and c. 1180 ),
2068-464: Was set per barony. "Presentment sessions ", where petitioners applied for funding for such works, were originally held as part of the county assizes , though the costs were paid from the barony cess if the work was of local benefit only. The county grand jury was supposed to have included jurors from each barony, though this did not always happen. From 1819, significantly modified in 1836, baronial presentment sessions were held for these purposes, with
2115-464: Was the last for which returns were aggregated by barony as well as by Union and DED; the 1901 census used only the latter classification, though it and the 1911 census included the barony in the detailed returns. The 1898 Act replaced the county assizes with an elected county council ; at a lower level, the county was divided into urban and rural districts , each with an elected council. These councils had power to levy rates and build public works, and
2162-485: Was the son of Gilbert de Lacy (died after 1163) of Ewyas Lacy , Weobley , and Ludlow . He is said to have had a dispute with Josce de Dinan as to certain lands in Herefordshire in 1154. He was in possession of his father's lands before 1163, and in 1165–66 held fifty-eight and three-quarters knight's fees , and had nine tenants without knight service. In October 1171 Lacy went over with Henry II as part of an Anglo-Norman force to invade Ireland, and early in 1172 he
2209-543: Was usually within a single barony, but less so over time. A townland might be an exclave of a parish, and potentially of its barony; under the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) Act 1836 , detached parts of baronies were annexed to an adjacent barony, but not so for parishes. The rationalisation of small ecclesiastical parishes into larger benefices sometimes entailed merging the corresponding civil parishes, which might thus cross barony (and county) boundaries. Many towns had
