@MoonlightLullaby When was Lismore Castle built? in 1185 for King John originally built Lismore Castle in 1185. Lismore Castle was owned in turn by Sir Walter Raleigh and Richard Boyle, before passing to the Fourth Duke of Devonshire in 1753. Now I was told that Devonshire family was very good to the people off Lismore and the surrounding area during the famine in Ireland By an elderly man 20 years ago by the late Tom Doocy and friend of mine
@revenant Not really It was just Lismore castle, When I first came to Lismore I became friends with an elderly man and he told me that the dukes family was good to the locals during the famine and that got me interested in it
@antonioioio oh you took a pic of the plaque ? eheh. That man must have been very elderly indeed :). I guess it was the local population who built that castle.
@revenant only took a picture of the castle The elderly man would be about 100 if he was still alive The things that happened here were passed down from generation to generation and what my friend told must be true because the castle wasn't touched during the war of Independance I don't where the labor came from to build it but certainly was a lot of stone masons used
