John Kenney,  Vicar of Durrus, Kilcrohane, and Kilmacomoge (Bantry), stating, that in these three vicarages, contiguous and episcopally united, and in length about 24 miles, there is but one church, at Bantry; in consequence of which the inhabitants of Kilbrogan, and of these denominations of plowlands.

Trinity College, Dublin, Alumni, some Others Continental Colleges 1480-1860, West Cork.

 
Early draft. There are probably many (all male) student at the various Irish Colleges in Spain, France, USA, and Italy some non clerical in the 17th, 18th and 19th century as well as medical colleges at Leiden, Paris, Edinburgh which hopefully over time will emerge. This is a continuing work but slow.

Donall O’Fihelly is alleged to have compiled his Annals of Ireland at Rossbrin Castle. The annals tell us that Donall and Maurice O’Fihelly received tuition in advanced Latin by Finghinn O Mathuna. The O’Fihellys were scions of the O’Driscoll race who hailed from Tuatha Ui Fitcheallaigh which embraces the parish of Ardfeild near Clonakilty.

In their early religious lives, both Donall and Maurice O’Fihelly belonged to the Franciscan friary community on Sherkin Island. Donall went to Merton College in Oxford University, and may have returned to be a part of the Franciscan community in Timoleague Friary. Maurice entered the school of Franciscan Studies in Milan in the latter 1480s. He became the head of Franciscan studies in the early 1490s. He held the chair of Scotist philosophy at Padua University between 1494 and 1513.  The eloquence of Maurice in Latin earned him the title of ‘Flos Mundi’, a title that was formally conferred on him by Doge Lorendano of Venice. In Italy, Maurice O’Fihelly wrote under the name of Maurizio Hibernice; Maurice the Irishman.

Some Trinity College Dublin and Other Colleges, West Cork Entries from 1593 to 1860.

Some Trinity College Dublin and Other College West Cork Entries from 1593 to 1860.

This is an early stage of a project that will take time. Many of the records were abstracted by Dr. Albert Casey’s (of Birmingham, Alabama) researchers, possibly in conjunction with Basil O’Connell (Retired head of CID, Burma in the 1950s) in compiling the O’Connell tracts. This tracks all known descendants of Daniel O’Connell.

Because for a large part of the period no Catholic could enter Trinity College around 80% of the population was excluded from the only University on the Island. This must have been a major factor in Ireland’s chronic economic underdevelopment. Modern economics stresses the importance of the development of human capital.
