- CORCA LAIDHEThe District and how it got its name The old name of West Cork was Corca Laidhe, which means the tribe of Lughaidhe Laidhe; and in accordance with the Irish custom, the name of the tribe was applied to the territory occupied by it. The Tribe The Corcalee tribe claim descent through Lughaidh Mac Con, high king of Ireland, from Lughaidh who was son of Ith, the uncle of Milidh.Their first coming Ith was the first Gael to set foot on the shores of Ireland. He was killed by the De Danaans; and to avenge his death, Lughaidh, accompanied by the seven sons of Milidh (Milesius) and a large army invaded Ireland, defeated the De Danaans, and took possession of the country. The Milesians thus became the ruling race, and the Corcalee tribe eventually settled down in West Cork, and gave their name - Corcalee - to their territory.Extent of Corcalee Corcalee extended from Courtmacsherry to the borders of Kerry. It had a long stretch of coast-line with numerous harbours, caves and promontories. There were ring forts on most of the headlands, and these forts helped to guard the coast and the fisheries.Surnames When surnames were adopted in the 9th, 10th & 11th centuries, the O'Driscolls were the ruling family of Corcalee. The next in importance were the O'Cowhigs (Croffeys), the O'Flynns, the O'Learys of Ross, O'Fehillys, OHennesseys, O'Heas, O'Dineens etc.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
