Bantry, Berehaven and the O'Sullivan Sept . e of Wolfe 1 To memorise the expedition and honour its Irish leader, the Town Commissioners of Bantry, in 1898, —the centenarypear of the Irish insurrection—gave to the market square of theirtown the name of Wolfe Tone Square. The motion wasmade by the Parliamentary representative of the district, Mr.James Gilhooly; it was seconded by Mr. Donovan, T.C., andcordially adopted. 8 BANTRY, BEREHAVEN AND Tone, and the outbreak of the Irish insurrection in1798, do not come within the scope of this work; butnumerous recent publications, at popular prices, bringthe record within the reach of every patriotic Irishman-Here I turn back from the period of those navaloperations to deal with the events of an earlier time, when, in the later part of the 16th century and theopening years of the 17th, Ireland was being sweptwith fire and sword by the soldiery of England, andthe part of the country with which these pages arespecially concerned was made the scene of horrors andsufferings indescribable..

The opportunity was availed
