| In the parish of Lattin and Cullen, a landlord had goaded his tenants to the point of breaking. They decided that they weren’t going to take any more and set a trap. The outcome was the celebrated Battle of Ballycohey. The repercussions were immense. Coming so soon after the Fenian uprising of 1867, the new British administration could not and would not ignore what had transpired. With the passing of the first great Irish Land Act of 1870, relations between landlords and tenants were never going to be the same again.
Peter O’Grady is a native of Shronell, in West Tipperary and he has spent the last ten years researching family and local history in the Tipperary and Limerick border regions.
