  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    The name of my townland is Glenlara,
    it is situated in the parish of Newmarket,
    in the barony of Duhallow and in the
    Co. Cork. There are twenty families in this
    townland and about one hundred people.
    The family names that are most common
    are Murphy and Keneally. The houses are
    thatched and slated.
    A number of people
    emigrated to America in former times.
    The principal industry in Glenlara is
    agriculture. The eldest people in my district
    are Mr Daniel Keneally and Mrs. Shine,
    These people can speak both English and
    Irish. Some of the land in this district
    is good and other parts are peaty.
    Glenlara got its name from a fort in
    Mr. Thomas Keneally's land R.I.P. Glenlara
    which was never finished.
