The O’Briens are an illustrious and prominent clan that has shaped the history of Ireland. The name, also spelled O’Bryan or O’Brian, means “of Brian” indicating descendance from Brian Borumha mac Cennetig, or Brian Boru, the celebrated High King of Ireland.
Brian Boru (925-1014) received the throne of Thomond (an area which covers much of modern day County Clare as well as parts of Limerick and Tipperary) after his elder brother, Mathgamain, was killed in 976. By 1002, he had attained the title of High King of Ireland, subjugating all the other kings in Ireland under his rule.
The King of Leinster Máelmorda mac Murchada, aided by the Dublin Vikings, rebelled against Brian’s rule. The two armies met on the field of Clontarf (now a suburb of Dublin) in 1014. Brian Boru’s army won, but at the cost of Boru’s life.

The current Covid Level 5 restrictions present us with an opportunity to explore what is on our doorstep.
For the moment restrictions only allow us to exercise on our own and we are asked to remain within 5km of home. In the next couple of weeks, the Castlemagner Community Development Association (CCDA) will write about different areas within the parish that provide pleasant walking on public roads. CCDA will provide snippets of information on flora and fauna you may see while walking and bits of local lore or history (please note: any mistakes are the writer s, who is happy to be corrected).
