Irish Language
Irish ( Standard Irish: ), also known as Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Insular Celtic branch of the Celtic language family, which is a part of the Indo-European language family. Irish is indigenous to the island of Ireland and was the population's first language until the 19th century, when English gradually became dominant, particularly in the last decades of the century. Irish is still spoken as a first language in a small number of areas of certain counties such as Cork, Donegal, Galway, and Kerry, as well as smaller areas of counties Mayo, Meath, and Waterford. It is also spoken by a larger group of habitual but non-traditional speakers, mostly in urban areas where the majority are second-language speakers. Daily users in Ireland outside the education system number around 73,000 (1.5%), and the total number of persons (aged 3 and over) who claimed they could speak Irish in April 2016 was 1,761,420, representing 39.8% of respondents. For most of recorded ...

Barretts (barony)
Barretts ( ga, Baróidigh) is a barony in northwest County Cork in Ireland. The name is derived from the Old English Barrett family. Barretts is bordered by the baronies of Muskerry East to the south-west, Duhallow to the north-west, Fermoy to the north, Barrymore to the east and the Barony of Cork to the south-east. Until 1836, Barretts, Muskerry East and Muskerry West were interlaced with detached fragments of each other; land transfers by the Grand Jury (Ireland) Act 1838 regularised and consolidated their respective territories. Legal context Baronies were created after the Norman invasion of Ireland as divisions of counties and were used for the administration of justice and the raising of revenue. While baronies continue to be officially defined units, they have been administratively obsolete since 1898. However, they continue to be used in land registration and in specification, such as in planning permissions. In many cases, a barony corresponds to an earlier Gael ...

Donaghmore, County Laois
Donaghmore () is a small village in County Laois in Ireland. It is located in the south of the county near Rathdowney on the main R435 regional road, on the River Erkina, a tributary of the Nore. Workhouse Located on the road between Borris-in-Ossory and Rathdowney, Donaghmore Workhouse was opened in 1853 to house the most impoverished and desperate people in this part of County Laois. Conditions were made as unattractive as possible, so that only those who had “lost all hope” would burden the taxpayer. Once inside, the inmates had to give up their personal clothing and don the rough workhouse uniforms. Families were split up; males from females, children from their parents. The inmates were divided into seven different categories, including one for elderly men and women, one for able-bodied males older than 13 years, one for able-bodied females older than 16 years, one for boys (7 to 13), one for girls 7 to 16, and one for children under 7. Once inside, the poor slept o ...
