Wrenboys, Caherciveen and Killorglin all make perfect sense. Dunno about "and many you would see" and duchess seems a little unlikely - although there is a fine castle in Adare. The owner was an earl - which would make his wife a countess, strictly. That said, of course, we Irish were never too fussy about what we called the nobility!
