AHERN
The Bishop of Kerry from 1336 to 1347 is described in the records as
Alan O'Hathern alias O Hachierane. The most noteworthy of the name in
modern history were John Aherne (c. 1769-1806), United Irishman and
friend of Wolfe Tone, who after the latter's death became an officer in
Napoleon's Irish Legion; and John Aheron author of the first book on
architecture printed in Ireland (1754). And, of course, the most
prominent Ahern at this time is Bertie Ahern Taoiseach of Ireland and
leader of the Fianna Fail party

Reinstatement of Evicted Tenants (Ireland).
HC Deb 07 August 1912 vol 41 cc3185-7W 3185W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY, asked why the Estates Commissioners have not in any practical way endeavoured to restore the evicted tenants in county Cavan, under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907; will he say how many evicted tenants were actually restored under this Act in county Cavan and in the other counties in Ireland; and whether anything 3186W may be hoped for by these people before the Act expires?
Mr. BIRRELL, The Estates Commissioners inform me that 3,156 evicted tenants or their representatives have been reinstated or provided with other holdings as purchasers under the Land Purchase Acts, including 462 on lands acquired compulsorily under the Evicted Tenants Acts; the figures for County Cavan being 100 and 32 respectively. The number of evicted tenants whose applications have been provisionally approved, and who have not been provided with holdings is 334, and their cases will be considered by the Commissioners in the allotment of over 50,000 acres of untenanted land which is at present the subject of proceedings for sale to the Commissioners, including over 2,000 acres under the Evicted Tenants Act.
Mr. FLAVIN, asked whether the application of John Ahern, an evicted tenant on the Supple estate at Clounmackon, Listowel, has been considered by the Estates Commissioners with a view to a Grant; and, if so, with what result?
Mr. BIRRELL, This estate was the subject of proceedings for sale direct by the owner to the tenants. An agreement signed by John Ahern for the purchase of his holding on the estate, which he was stated to hold as a judicial tenant, was lodged with the Estates Commissioners who sanctioned the advance of the purchase money, and Ahern's holding has been vested in him. The Commissioners could not find that they received any application from Ahern as an evicted tenant within the period prescribed by the Evicted Tenants Act and did not see their way to make him any free Grant.
Mr. FLAVIN, asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application from Michael J. Ahern, of Knocknaglough, Lyrecrompane, North Kerry, an evicted tenant, on the John C D. Hurley estate; whether he is aware that Ahern has been reinstated and has signed a purchase agreement, but has no visible means nor any stock on the land; and whether he will make representations to the Estates Commissioners to give a Grant to Ahern as an evicted tenant?
Mr. BIRRELL. The Estates Commissioners received an application from Ahern for assistance to work the holding on the-Hurley estate in which he has been reinstated by the owner, and, after inquiry 3187W and consideration, decided to take no action in the matter.
Mr. FLAVIN, asked whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application from Nicholas Mulvihill, of Asdee, North Kerry, an evicted tenant on the William Creagh Hickie estate, at Kilelton, Ballylongford, for reinstatement in his holding; and whether the Estates Commissioners have taken any action in the matter, seeing that Nicholas Mulvihill is an evicted tenant for the past sixteen years?
Mr. BIRRELL, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the question on this subject asked by the hon. Member for Limerick West on 27th July, 1911, to which I have nothing to add.
Message: Hello, i'm hoping you can help me. I'm from Ireland and i'm looking into my family history on the Ahern side. My mother's grand uncle PJ Ahern from carrigkerry was a poet & i'm trying to find some of his poams ie carrigkerry hill & carrigkerry. My Mother always talks about him & how talented he was. Could you please let me know where i can find this information as this would mean the world to her. Thanking you in advance for your help & reply.
Yours sincerely,

ATHEA Football
Athea Team Limerick County Champions 1968
Trainer Johnny Walsh of Ballylongford.
By Pat Brosnan
The cheers ring ‘round the Gaelic Grounds,
They echo far away,
The Limerick football championship has come to sweet Athea,
The dream at last it has come true,
No longer must we wait,
They’ve brought the cup home to the West,
These men of sixty-eight.
The first they beat was Patrickswell,
Next did Askeaton fall,
Then Oola’s best they failed to test,
With our boys to play the ball,
Now came Treaty Sarsfields in the final game to play,
Some wise men shook their heads and said “they’ll surely beat Athea”.
The Autumn sun was shining on that field near Limerick town,
When they came from Clash and Cratloe, the Village and Knockdown,
From Knocknagorna’s hills as well, from Keale, Coole West, Tooreen,
From Gortnagross and Knockanair and the vales of sweet Dirreen.
Then old men’s thoughts they drifted back to the games they used to see,
And to the men who fought in harder fields to make our nation free,
Con Colbert, Gortnagleanna, Paddy Dalton came to mind,
Many hearts with pride were beating for those days long left behind.
But every face is turned now to the scene of the present day,
The Treaty boys they struggled hard but were no match for Athea,
And when the final whistle went there was no doubt who was best,
The cup had found a worthy home in it’s journey to the West.
Here’s to the men of sixty-eight with Con Mullane full back,
Tom Keeffe in goal beside him “Morgan” Moran and Sean Mack,
Ken Dermody, Frank Collins and Mike Hayes made no mistake,
And when Gerry Carey gets the ball the West is wide awake.
The Barrett brothers and Joe Keeffe were always to the fore,
And from a player like Timmy Woulfe no one could ask for more,
Murt Liston the young captain was indeed a shining light,
Kevin Dillon and Joe Brouder they too played with all their might.
The other men who also served, the subs behind the scene,
Tim Enright, “Haulie” Moran, and Pat Dalton from Dirreen,
Tim Keeffe and Danny Barry, Patie Moran, Jim Dillane,
Mick White and Jack O’ Connor too, strong men of brain and bawn.
We will always look upon you as the greatest of the great,
And in many a future battle we know we’ll never fail,
To bring the laurels often home to the town beside the Gale.
