Place & story
An appeal recorded in the council minutes
Waterford County Archives’ catalogue identifies a resolution opposing the transfer of Kilculliheen barony from Waterford to Kilkenny under the Local Government (Ireland) Act of 1898. The council considered the change harmful to both Waterford and the barony and resolved to pursue an appeal against the transfer order. The catalogue states that the resolution passed unanimously. It locates the entry on page twenty-one of minute book WCC/1/1, a volume covering April 1899 to August 1903; it does not give the resolution’s exact date. [2]
