Immortalised by Joyce in the Nausicaa episode of Ulysses imparting benediction at the Star of the Sea Church in Sandymount on Bloomsday, June 16th, 1904, John Canon OâHanlon (1821-1905) was a noted historian and writer of 19th-century Ireland.
Best remembered for his monumental Lives of the Irish Saints, OâHanlon was also the author of numerous scholarly articles and 25 books, such as Irish-American History of the United States, History of the Queenâs County, Irish Local Legends, and The Poetical Works of Lageniensis.
Born 200 years ago on April 30th, 1821, OâHanlon grew up in Stradbally, Co Laois. He was educated locally in Stradbally and for a time in Ballyroan, before entering St Patrickâs College, Carlow, in 1840 as a seminarian.

Two County Derry teenagers have raised over £2,000 for local Downs Syndrome Trusts after being inspired by a Tik Tok video to walk a marathon.
Cara Murray, 17, from Ballinascreen, and Orla Higgins, 16, from Glen, set off on their walk from Maghera and it took them through Swatragh and Garvagh, with a quick detour through Upperlands.
“We started in Maghera and were going to go to Swatragh, but we turned up into Upperlands to go to the Dam instead,” Cara told the County Derry Post.

Location, location, location is the mantra when it comes to real estate and it is especially acute for house hunters with school-aged children.
But neither schools nor houses are cheap; so where should the prospective hunter look in the region?
Data from online property hub CoreLogic reveals bargain hunters should head to Victory Heights, which was at the cheapest end of the scale of real estate prices thanks to median average sale price of $275,000 in November last year.
The suburb is close to two of the regionâs most popular schools, one public and one private - Gympie West State School and Victory College.
