Kilmorna Visitors Book

This podcast illustrates remarkable stories about two important and colourful figures in Irish history.

Pierce Mahony, The Mahony of Kerry, and Arthur Vickers, Ulster King of Arms and Keeper of the Irish Crown Jewels.

Both men lived at Kilmorna House in North Kerry at different times from the 1870s to the early 20th century, while the visitors book sat in the hallway at Kilmorna.

Visitors to the house who signed the book include Charles Stewart Parnell, poet W.B.Yeats and Florence Farr and artist Percy French, among others.

The voices you will hear include as they reveal the hidden stories are the descendants of the Mahonys, local historians, the present owner of the land and the brother of a member of the North Kerry IRA Flying Column.
