It’s the work of our good friend, and national treasure, Brian Lalor, artist, writer and printmaker. For an overview of his style, check out the retrospective of his work at Graphic Studio Dublin. Or browse the long list of his books, including the magnificent Encyclopaedia of Ireland, which he edited.
Brian has studied both architecture and archaeology and to that adds the keen observant eye of the artist. As a result these sketches, although, as he explained, often hastily done during a brief visit to a site, are accurate, detailed and charming…

THE O’h-Aodha family (anglicised O’Hea, Hay, Hayes, and Hughes) derives its name and descent from Aodh (or Hugh), the ninth son of Cas, who is No. 91 on the “O’Brien, Kings of Thomond” pedigree. They were formerly Chiefs of Muscry-Luachra, a territory in the barony of Coshlea, co. Limerick, whence a branch of the sept removed into Carbry in Cork, where they became possessed of the lands called Pobble-O’Hea. Dr. O’Donovan says that Muscry-Luachra bordered on Sliabh Luachra, in Kerry; and that the river Avonmore had its source in this district. | |||
| Emmanuel O’Hea, Gent. | 1733 | Cork, Probably in greater Clonakilty area | The Christian name Emmanuel is asociated with the neighbouring family of Spiller may be a connection | Recanted at St. finbarrs 1733. He married Charlotte Scarborough in 1733. James was very shrewd as he had settled the lands on his family in 1703 when they were mostly under aged and could not recant until they reached the age of 21. Of course, they all recanted later probably to hold on to their lands. His will of 1717 is mainly a list of personal gifts including some cattle which was customary at the time to give. |
