01 Dec 09 - 08:10 PM (#2778040) Subject: BS: Frank Delaney's 'Tipperary' From: michaelr I've just finished reading this wonderful novel. Is anyone here familiar with it - and perhaps with Tipperary itself? What intrigues me is the question of how much of the story might be based on actual events. Are there remains of a great Anglo-Irish mansion or castle at Tipperary? It's a great read, as is Delaney's earlier "Ireland". Cheers, Michael |

Some were owned by Irish chieftains and converted by the English into more luxurious quarters. My favorite was Kylemore Castle (now Kylemore Abbey). -Joe- |
