A famous Laoisman and his legacy
Reporter:

Friday, April 30th, was the bicentenary of one of the O’Moore County’s most prolific and distinguished writers and historians. John Canon O’Hanlon, parish priest of Sandymount in Dublin, was born in Stradbally in 1821 and is probably best known in Laois for his History of the Queen’s County, which remains the most authoritative and informative work of its kind on the county’s past, even though it was completed by others and was published posthumously.
The digitisation of the History of the Queen’s County by the Laois Library services to mark the bi-centenary of his birth, will be welcomed by all students, local historians and researchers who have an interest in Laois’ historic past.
