The Lismore (O’Callaghan) estate under William Robert Hood Rochfort, 1891-1902, in Counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary

Margaret O'Sullivan

“This is an extremely interesting account of the life and times of a land agent on the O’Callaghan estate, the Lords Lismore. The author examines whether the stereotypical image of the land agents and landlordism in Ireland applied to Rochfort and his interaction with the tenantry. Rochfort’s observations on individual tenants make for fascinating reading.” Ireland’s Genealogical Gazette, November 2025
