[edit]

Dear Jude, Please advise. I made a full edit on the Into. 'Setting the Scene'[Irish History], I also thought the 'header template' was installed, when I 'saved it'. Now I notice that on 'my contributions' the script is unedited - back to its original form. Why?

Bot question

[edit]

Hi, Pathoschild says that he thinks you're writing a bot to tag pages without the author or header template. I thought I'd ask you if it'd be possible to expand it to read the dates on author pages & apply the appropriate PD templates like Template:Author-PD-old & Template:Author-PD-old-70 to the relevant author pages. Thanks. AllanHainey 14:57, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'll add it to my list of things to check for when I start coding it; it shouldn't be all that difficult. :-) Jude (talk,contribs,email) 21:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

ParserFunctions used for section transclusion

[edit]

Hi. Please take a look at the conclusion of the very long discussion at bug 5881. The result of the discussion was a very short, precise expression of the kind of feature I had such a hard time describing.

Now that the idea itself has been stated clearly, what do you think about possible applications for something like this in Wikisource Bible texts?Dovi 19:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Transclusion - previous experience

[edit]

Hi!

What you suggest (transcluding smaller units into larger ones) is exactly what we've done for small portions of the Bible in Hebrew Wikisource. There, we are building what is traditionally called Mikraot Gedolot (see Wikipedia article), which is a collection of multiple versions and commentaries on each and every verse.

So far, Jonah is complete (done entirely by User:Nevuchadnezzar and worth taking a look at how the transclusion was done), and Lamentations is about 1/3 done.Scattered verses from other books have also been contributed.

By doing transclusions of the individual units, we are able to create both pages with selections of versions and commentaries for individual units (similar to what is being done here with Obadiah) and also pages with full versions of text or commentary by transcluding the smaller units.

So we have a good amount of experience doing this. Our experience can basically be summed up with three results:

  • This works. It absolutely does.
  • This is extremely hard, and involves hundreds or even thousands (no exaggeration) of manual actions finish even a small portion of text.
  • For the complete Bible, this method would involve cluttering either the template namespace or the main namespace with literally hundreds of thousands (also no exaggeration) of individual pages, each with a tiny amount of text. Myself and others at he: have even mentioned creating a special namespace for them (perhaps it might be called the "Passage:" namespace in English, for each individual passage in a text).

Having what is intuitively the opposite function as in my proposal (i.e. putting the entire version of a book on one page with invisible markers, and transcluding portions of it in relevant places) would be much more feasible and far less messy. Dovi 11:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You might want to consider making the conversions to em-dashes while you are working on the ED poems. I miss IRC.--BirgitteSB 01:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes I meant converting the titles as well, which would meaning moving and replacing with soft redirects. It is not imperative by any means, but I have always approached things by doing everything you can with the paper in your hand rather rotating it from one task pile to another.--BirgitteSB 01:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
You understand the technicalities better than me, so do whatever is easiest for you. It is certainly not the most important thing, so feel free to put it off it addes another step to your process. Although I would prefer if you avoided html and used —, I think it is an emdash anyways.--BirgitteSB 01:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

That really fast 400 alredat :) I don't know why I was not using relative links on Workd English. Sleep deprivation? I was wondering if you could run a query on all title that have ": Chapter" "- Chapter" "-Chapter" and also 'Book' and 'Part'. Then compare it against everything in the category for soft redirects and post a list of what is left. If we could get those titles we could know these page moves out.--BirgitteSB 13:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for fixing my Wikiproject page.--BirgitteSB 13:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Regex

[edit]

Hi, Jude,

I've got a question for you which does not have to be done any time soon. But if Xenophon can do regex, would it be possible for you at some point to scan WS and change symbols from the "&####;" notation to the actual symbol? Again, this isn't a pressing concern, but I cannot stand the HTML notation, but it takes forever to manually change it all.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 17:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

UN Security Council Resolutions

[edit]

Hi. In response to your bot-made page moves of UN Security Council Resolutions, I would like to remind that plural is used at Wikisource:UN Security Council Resolutions while "UN Security Council Resolution" is singular, so there are now too many broken links.--Jusjih 02:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

You have done a great job. Converting to subpages allows me to add headers much faster and easier.--Jusjih 20:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
One more thing: if your bot can spot any internal links among UN Security Council Resolutions, please change them as well, such as from 26 to 88.--Jusjih 20:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
In addition to UN Security Council Resolutions, do you consider that UN General Assembly Resolutions should be renamed in a similar way?--Jusjih 01:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I have thought of an advantage and an disadvantage of renaming UN resolutions. The advantage is allowing subpage linking and simplified links. The disadvantage is the need to update many interlanguage and cross-project (like with Wikipedia) links. For long term, I support renaming UN General Assembly Resolutions, but we should probably post this at the Scriptorium. As I go through the UN resolutions in English, French, and Chinese, I will update links to English pages as well.--Jusjih 02:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
WS:COPYVIO has a very important discovery that UN resolutions are in the public domain. As I am undeleting deleted UN resolutions after months of turmoil, could you please move the undeleted UN Security Council Resolutions to newly formatted subpages?--Jusjih 17:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move - Doctrine and Covenants

[edit]

Hi - I noticed that you moved all of the D&C links of the form (D&C X) to (Section X). I was just wondering why you did that - it makes linking using {{w:sourcetext}} on the English wikipedia not as useful since it puts the reference as Section X rather than the common (and widely used citation of) D&C X - I know one can use the "showsource=y" parameter to have it put out "Doctrine and Covenants, Section X" but that is not the normal usage. thx Trödel 20:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - I remember you moving them to D&C at my request - but I didn't realize that someone asked them to be moved to Section x. I guess it doesn't matter since the template works. and thx for doing all that work - Trödel 00:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not interested in creating new accounts for places where I never post. You can talk to be on wikitionary here.

formatting for mass page moves

[edit]

Hi, Jude. Here's the message I promised.

For the Rig Veda, Mandalas 1-4 are moved over, meaning 5-10 still have work. For these Mandalas, the current page format is this: The Rig Veda/Hymn #/#. The new format should be The Rig Veda/Mandala #/Hymn #. For example, from Mandala 7 the first three pages are

  1. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/1
  2. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/2
  3. The Rig Veda/Hymn 7/3.

They should be

  1. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 1
  2. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 2
  3. The Rig Veda/Mandala 7/Hymn 3.

The Lily of Laguna

[edit]

Well, obviously the content is rather shocking, what with dropping the N-word right in the first line and all, but, that aside, it looks competently done.

I'd suggest making a PDF of the sheet music, as it's very hard to get jpegs to print sensibly without a little pre-formatting. Normally, I'd say that in the PDF version, the contrast and saturation should be adjusted so that the background is a pure white - people wishing to print these out so they can get it to a piano or the like will thank you if they aren't forced to print a distracting approximation of the original paper texture as well as the notes they want. This is something that any musician would tell you they wanted. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

By the way, I checked and there don't appear to be any historical, PD recordings available. I don't think that's a problem, just... you know, may as well check. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
I found some software, PDF-creator, that (with a word processing program) should allow it. Basically, it's just to get the formatting set up, so that people wishing to print it don't have to format it for printing themselves. =) That said, I'm seriously considering making a new score for K-K-K-Katy - all the ones I can find are pretty low-resolution and quality, to the point that getting readable sheet music from them could be more trouble than making new sheet music. Oh, well! Give me a few days for that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to deprecate those templates initially, and then remove them (replace with PD-USGov). As discussed, there does appear to be some instances where PD-USGov-NASA applies differently, but it's just a question or not of how informative we want the categories to be. I think either altering PD-USGov to have a NASA=True parameter, or changing the transcluded parameter in PD-USGov-NASA are suitable options and would reflect consensus, so there's no need to start another deletion discussion.

The Night Is Darkening Around Me : The analysis

[edit]

"The Night is Darkening Round Me" is about a speaker who is attacked by the tyrannical nature. Different powers of nature are confining him and making him unmoved and tied. He describes them vividly and how each one of them approaches him threateningly. The atmosphere of the poem is gloomy and bleak, suggesting that the speaker is in jeopardy and is about to die.


The poet describes the gloomy scene by saying that the night darkens around him. The night represents fear and is the time when apparitions prevail. Thus, he is afraid of it. Then, he shows that the winds are blowing coldly and harshly. These natural forces are contrasted when the poet says "But" to make us aware that he has been restricted and tied by a cruel power "tyrant spell". This clearly hints at his coming death. Also, the poet says that this strange power is inescapable. He is unable to leave the scene, " I cannot, cannot go".


Subsequently, he vividly depicts the trees and describes them as giant. He says that they are bending and their boughs or branches are laden with snow. This shows that the coming danger, especially when he says that the storm is quickly descending. These natural forces too stand for the causes of death in one's life. It is clearly stated that the poet is scared by them because of the death they are going to bring about. He also summarizes each stanza by telling us that he is closely tied and can not escape from death " And yet I cannot go".


The poet moves on to say that danger and threats are coming from all sides. He says that "clouds" are above him and "wastes" below him. There is something noteworthy which the poet reveals in the end. It is the fact that no one can come to help him escape from death. Here, he is talking about his close friends and his family and the helplessness of their actions, "But nothing can drear can move me". He concludes the last stanza by the same idea. The latter is his inability to move or act against these natural forces.


Frankly speaking, this poem is well worth analysing because of the issues it discusses, such as death, danger and fear. Moreover, it teaches us moral lessons on how to deal with our lives concerning everday threats and awareness of the fact that death is inevitable is of paramount importance.

Shivloti Mandir

[edit]

This Webpage is dedicated to Shri Shivloti Maharaj Ji (Renowned shivbhakt from Himachal Pradesh) who is spiritually enlightened from within and lived only for Shiv Aradhana and human welfare. In his life cycle he emphasized on Shiv Pooja, Simple life style, Ann-Daan (donating food) and helping the needy in all respect.

East-West dichotomy

[edit]

User:CactusWriter left a message on my talk page about East-West dichotomy and the fusses they've had about it on Wikipedia. Even with the new information, I'm not sure my opinion as given in the close has changed; I'm not sure that it's in scope, but I'm not sure I really care. It doesn't set off my "kill it with fire" instincts, though the new facts pushed it that way. Since you were the only third-party to comment on the copyvio discussion, I thought I'd post here and see if you were interested in taking to to Wikisource:Proposed Deletions.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I restored some redirects you created when you moved some pages. They were On Mr. Babbage's new machine for calculating and printing mathematical and astronomical tables and another one. Cygnis insignis (talk) 20:02, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is the title of an article, not a chapter in a novel, the journal contains texts by various authors on many subjects. If it turns out that it was reprinted elsewhere then the redirect becomes a dab. I don't see a downside, so what is the problem? Cygnis insignis (talk) 22:57, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I agree with Cygnis here. "On Mr. Babbage's new machine for calculating and printing mathematical and astronomical tables" is the name of a work, and should be redirected/disambiguated to the location within the super-work(s) in which it appeared. Hesperian 23:43, 17 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

History of Ireland

[edit]

by

Terence Kearey

[edit]

By about 540 AD, the time of Finnian, the monks had begun to take over some of the power of the Brehons. Finnian died in the plague about ten years after the foundation of Clonard. By then both Ciaran and Columba of Terryglass were in their twenties. Saint Ciaran of Clonmacnoise from Connaught was the founder of the Abbey near Lough Ree and Columba, the greatest of the later generation monks, founded Iona. St Ciaran was another of The Twelve Apostles of Ireland. He died on the 9th September 546 at the age of 32 - buried in his little church attached to the Abbey. The rural society of this time was not one based upon towns or villages but ring-forts, lake dwellings and later, monastery-settlements. The people populated smaller communities of much cruder construction with little or no stonework but simple pole houses… often with an open roof, built on an earthen mound with ring ditches and offset entrances.


Ireland changed dramatically when Mac Erca died. Up to the twelfth century, the monastic churches were all under the Rule of Columba 544. St Ciaran, one of a number of Benedictine monks, was one of the first saint-founders. Between Mac Erca’s death and the arrival of Patrick Christianity became established - an established power governed by Bishops. It was during Mac Erca’s time that there were mass conversions that covered all Irish society. Several of those Bishops stood up to the power of the lords and probably the greatest of these was St Ciaran, the ‘smith’s [carriage-wright] son’, from Enda’s Aran, foundered Clonmacnoise, Co. Offaly, in 545. He was one of the principals of the synods of Meg Léne at the time of ‘Diarmait the Good’, one of the great kings of Ireland. Columba commented wryly at the time of Ciarán’s death:


‘Blessed is God who called Ciaran from this world in his youth. If he had lived to an old age, he would have aroused many men’s hostility’.


Most rulers had a very strong link with the church – a clan chief could also be a priest, as could a lord – one position did not have greater importance than the other did. It would not be cynical to suggest that clan chiefs saw this as an easy way to achieve salvation, and the church, as a means of converting the chief’s subjects. If these positions could be headed up by the same person or by a member of, the same family then it all became very convenient… It is not surprising to find that some families held these offices for generations.


Saint Ciardha 620–679 AD, an Abbess, founded in north Munster – in the area now known as Kilkeary, a monastic ‘house’ for thirteen postulants - a nunnery, in about 645 AD. This settlement, in Upper Ormond, appears to have been the only one established during the early Christian era in that area - later defined as ‘in the diocese of the bishop of Killaloe’. The church was elaborately decorated, especially around the altar; the walls painted to depict the apostles and the single roof span covered with split stone slates. For the period, this represented a building of influence and authority, a dwelling that catered for a number of nuns, visiting pilgrims and the needy, particularly women. The land close to the church was adopted as a burial ground for the local clan.


The future O'Ciardha clan was one of the family groups who made up the Múscraighe Tribe who populated central and south/west Ireland – east of the River Shannon. The aristocratic family Uí Raibne reputedly owned Kilkeary [Cell Cére]. St Ciar who was also of the family foundered the church. Cousins held the churches of Dromineer, Toomevara, and Kilaughnane. These religious houses were all situated close to the rich pastures that line the east shore of the river. Other aristocratic branches of the family held smaller foundations whilst some of the family settled at the great monastery of Birr. The Uí Daigre, yet another branch, held the church of Latteragh and claimed that Odrán, its founder, was one of them. Uí Léinéne was a family of Uí Daigre, and as late as 1074, the annals record the death of Gilla Brénnainn Ua Léknine, Superior of Letracha Odráin.


Ireland was provided with territorial bishops, each generally given a diocese close to a royal residence. As more nunneries and monasteries established, their incumbents became bishops, abbesses – and some, great abbots. Most kings sought bishops for their own kingdoms, which gave them added power and influence. Sometimes their requests given other times they were allocated a monk under a bishop. The bishop, who was a monk, remained under an abbot, who was esteemed. The southern church favoured conformity with Rome the nunneries and monasteries governed by many different groups – some as independent establishments. Unity was urgently needed which took the form of a metropolitan episcopate. The first candidate was put up in 650 in the southern see of Kildare, in northern Leinster. Ultimately, both north and south united under Armagh whose bishop became Ireland’s senior bishopric. The Irish word for Abbot is comarba – meaning heir. Therefore, his is the heir of the founder. In many instances, the heir was also of the same dynastic family – the same kindred - the link between the founder and the patron…


St Ciardha was a native of this district, her father Duibhrea, descended from ‘the line of Connors’, Kings of Ireland. To her father’s name was sometimes added ‘insula’, an island – this may refer to an island now called King’s Island, surrounded by a branch of the Shannon called Abbey River. Loch Derg’s southern side is in the Province of Ormond - where St Ciardha was born. Her great sanctity and many miracles attracted many holy women to share her monastic life. The Abbess – Lady Superior, had administrative power over her mother church and followed the example of her first teacher Columba who was not a bishop but a monk and priest. It is to her that the clan name was drawn - from an abbreviated form of Máel MacGioha Cheire, one of the devotees - ‘followers’, of Saint Ciardha [Cheire]. Henceforth, this was the moment when the family name O'Ciardha became established – from the naming of the saint – a close connection between the church and the secular head.


This company of women occupied the foundation of St O’Ciardha community in Upper Ormond - named after her, ‘Cill Cheire’ [Church of Keary]. It was here that she ruled with considerable skill, increasing the postulants - giving the foundation credence and sanctity. This was no trifling matter. To be officially recognised and canonized means she was accepted by Rome and worthy - of veneration. This allowed St Ciardha to expect obedience particularly in matters of the church and women. Being a daughter of the king added power and prestige. This link between king and church made it easier to assume and hold onto power. This close association between the ruling body, either local or national, and the priesthood is a feature of early religious foundation. It was in both their not only interests to have this close connection keeping power centralized but also greatly assisted religious foundation.


When the nunnery at Kilkeary was well established and capable of self-regulation she left, accompanied by five nuns, to start a new foundation in North Offaly, King’s County, where she obtained a site for another nunnery from St. Fintan in Munster. It was in a place now known as Tehelly, in the parish of Durrow, formed in about the year 655AD. This was close to Clonmacnoise and St Ciaran Church. Following the tidal river north, from the mouth of the river Shannon, you come to a loch called Derg - where the river enters the loch was built the settlement of Killaloe. The great river continues through the Lough northwards, to Clonmacnoise, a wealthy, sixth-century fort-like monastery, built of stone, before Lough Ree… then onwards... to Carrick on Shannon. It did not matter where St Ciardha travelled her title to property and obedience went with her. She and the bishop, who was son of the king of Munster, jointly ruled the church. An early law tract refers to the bishop of Cork and Emly as uasal-epscop, giving them a status equal to the king of Munster - who was overlord of the southern half of Ireland.


Later, St Ciardha [Canonized Pre-Congregation] returned to Kilkeary where she was reputed to have died of natural causes. Nothing is known of the subsequent history - of the nunnery or her burial place, but her death is recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters, January 5th 679. The following stanza is from Leahhar Breac, the Book of the MacEgans:


‘The call of Semeoin, the sage, To Christ of purist…; A new, transitory, gentle sun was Ciar, the daughter of Duibhrea.’


It was in the middle, and latter part, of the first millennium that proper written records were kept. ‘The Irish Annals’, Book of Kells and ‘The lives of the Saints’ are three sources of early recorded history - written by scribes in Latin - the result of intended missionary zeal by Christian bishops and their scribes.


Gildas developed Latin literature in a style and order fit for publication. His paragraphs, sentences and words were impressions build upon the spoken word – placed together by sound and syllable. The language was from Europe but based upon English. As Ireland was the first large country to become Christian - outside the Roman Empire, scholars had to write the Irish language, in Latin characters. They were compelled to write with an alphabet. Ogam notches became outdated in the seventh century - still not deciphered. Latin preserved the first written records. This is when the K began to be used. Thereafter Latin began to be changed - English, Welsh and Irish adapted and added to – developed into a modern literature.


Ciardha is the Gaelic spelling of the family name - used by scribes in about 650 AD. Later writers increasingly used Cary or Carey, as a more identifiable written form. The written Irish-language was mainly derived from Latin and assumed closer integration to the accepted form of spelling and pronunciation in the sixth century - probably when the K was first used in some written texts. In its softer anglicised form of Cary or Carey, it is natural not to make the difference so hard. What era or part of the country ‘K’ rather than ‘C’ used, is unclear…perhaps the use of K [as in kick, or quick, in the Gaelic Q form] happened when the Gaelic Cill [church] was replaced by the Latinized Kil - for place-names on maps – hence, Kilkeary and Kilkenny. Most place names are in that form. The method of spelling might indicate who commissioned the work, when, and for what purpose. The history about the right language and spelling of a family name explains what happened in Ireland during the disturbance that caused such distress. The clan chiefs, Anglo-Irish aristocracy, their upstarts, the invaders, clerics and politicians may deserve censure, for the chaos that marks the islands history, but the people certainly do not. The people were concerned about their home, their plot of ground, and their animals. The derivations of a name throughout the centuries give proof to the matter… from Ciardha to Ciara, Cheire to Carie, Carey, and Keary & Kearey. Even today children within a single family may use either the Gaelic or latinized form.


This unity under Gaelic kings, represented by Ui Neill, continued for nearly two-hundred years, until the Normans were invited to save the then ruling body. From this moment, Gaelic Ireland began to lose its identity and power base. This call, on an outside body, was to have far-reaching effects and was not reversible.


The O’Ciardha [O’Cary or O’Keary] clan were a senior branch of the Cenel Cairpri, descended from Cairpre… populated the central southwestern areas of Ireland, an ancient Gaelic warrior kingdom speaking Gaeltacht… The chiefs of clan O’Ciardha were closely related to the supreme ruler of southern Ireland… they were minor kings, ruling that part of southern Ireland located just below Loch Derg… in today’s northern Tipperary.


‘O’Cary rules over Carbery of bards, He is of the tribe of Niall of the nine Hostages, There are none but themselves there, Of the clans of Niall over Leinster'.


The ancient monastc house is situated close to Kilkeary church not far from the two towns - Nenagh and Toomyvara, and two mountains – Slievekimalta and Devilsbit. To the north lies The Central Lowlands: an area of farms, market towns, peat bogs, glens and lakes. Before intensive cultivation, the land was heavily forested. As with the growth of many settlements the nearest navigateable river influenced its development; in this case it was the River Shannon and in particular Lough Derg, five miles north of Nenagh; it’s southern banks bordered Lower Ormond and Arra and Owney. The main family territory was roughly in the centre of the country and conforms to an area of hill and lowland. It was bog-free downland, rich in minerals and well drained and hedged. This part of inland central-Ireland is bordered by several clan territories and like all such lands continually fought over. These early Munster tribal lands were divided by between cousins, into east and west groups. Unfortunately, both groups suffered from several competing branches, which weakened the power base. The eastern cousin’s centre was at Cashel, and the other, the northern group of lower Shannon; it was to this area that O’Ciardha was clan chief - becoming king of Thomond. He later included over lordship – suzerain, of the Ostmen of Waterford and Limerick, including their two important cities. This large area approximately conforms to today’s Co Tipperary.


The central/southern Uí Néills, Ui [means’ children of’], a term of gentility - denotes those of the ruling family. This is a much older form than Ó or more strictly ‘Ua’. It was to this branch of the Ó Neill’s that the Ó Ciardha clan became indelibly linked. The Ciardha clan were a ‘sept’… a corruption of the word ‘sect’ adopted by the English settlers, to describe Gaelic ruling families or clan groups. This allegiance between the O’Neill’s and the O’Ciardha continued until the latter lost all their clan lands over a period of six hundred years, ending at the same time as the restoration of Charles II, after Cromwell’s death.


Edward Maclysaght’s, More Irish Families, 1982, pp50, agrees that the majority of those called Carey [or Keary] belong to the O’Ciardha sept - are a senior branch of the Cenel Cairpri. It can be seen that whether C or K used it refers to the same people.


Kilkeary, in Co. Tipperary today, is a small parcel of land seven miles southeast of Nenagh, in Toomevara RC Parish. This is a relatively modern name forming a link with its more ancient past. Originally, the ecclesiastical name was Templedowney [Teampul Domnan the church of St. Domnan]. Toomevara is derived from Tuaim ui Mheadhra, O’Meara’s Mound or tumulus. The parish was an area of many hundreds of acres; Kilkeary was spelt Kylkeary in the first quarter of the first millennium, a place of pilgrimage and substance. The ruins of the nunnery are close to the present church. In all research into genealogical connections into the O’Ciardha, [Keary] clan, certain names are always cropping up; in particular, O’Meara, O’Kennedy and O’Carrolls. Toomevara parish contains the districts of Agnameadle, Ballymackey, Kilkeary, Templedowney and Ballygibbon. It has three ancient ecclesiastical ruins one of which was an ancient foundation for women established by St. Ciardha. There are also several ruined castles, some habitable, others not, being just ruins.


The name of this district was written by ‘The Scholar of Aegus’, as Cill Cheire, the church of St. Kera or Cera [Church of Keary]; it is situated in the ancient Muscraidhe Thire, the Upper and Lower Ormond. In Aegus written, 'Ciar Ingen Duibhrea,' meaning St. Ciardha, daughter of king Duibhrea, who was a clan chief.


The ancient church of Kilkeary was built about 625AD, 57 feet long and just over 19 feet wide. It is in ruins having all its features destroyed except for a few massive stones – one of several tons. It was built in a semi-cyclopean style of Lange limestone rocks and is believed to be of the seventh and eighth centuries. In the graveyard is a monument to Major General William Parker Carrol of Ballygrenade, a descendant of the O’ Carrolls of Ely… Previously, in 1702, an earlier member of the family was buried here.


William Carrol was from Lissenhall, on the far side of Nenagh Town and had a very distinguished career in the Spanish Army during the Napoleonic Wars. He was highly thought of in England and married an illegitimate daughter of George III. William was also a Politician who partitioned for the separation of the Northern and Southern Grand Juries in the county, in the 1830s. That the Carrols used the Kilkeary graveyard – the site of the nunnery, was in keeping with Gælic tradition. the Carrols, Kennedys’ and Meara were all inhabitants of the east side of the Shannon – neighbours…, originally owned by the O´Ciardha. When the O’Ciardha were being harassed and evicted some transferred allegiance to the security of these clans.


Kilkeary nearest large town is Nenagh, seven miles west; an important centre for its Anglo-Norman association and Franciscan Friary, which the Kennedy founded in 1240, and Cromwell destroyed, in 1650. It was one of the new walled towns designed in 1171… the citizens fearing incursions from warring factions lent a hand with the building… the town council passed a law whereby every person – including: shop owners, priests and women. Every person was allotted a day in the week that each had to help in building the town walls. Toomyvara, a pleasant small market town, lies four miles east, lying astride an important crossroads.


It is important again to stress that confirmation about name, place and time is impossible to confirm. Not only does the language change but the spelling within that language. Family groups within a tribe split into clans, and clans into septs... Kings described as lords, and lords as kings. However, that should not present a problem. It is not a question of trying to change history, or give greater credence, but to present a picture of where the O'Ciardha fit into early Christian Munster...; the source of the name - its link with a saint and nunnery, and the present day cemetery.
