    Share Share Post
    The best known landlord in this part was Sir Thomas Butler whose son Sir Richard Butler now owns a large estate of some thousand acres in Ballintemple.
    The family is one of the most ancient and illustrious in the country and for services rendered to the crown in olden times got lands in most parts of Ireland. They are the same family as Ormonds of Kilkenny.
    There was a family called Butler of Broomville a place now occupied by Mr Halton and they also descended from the Kilkenny Butlers.
