Disfranchisement of the boroughs of Boyle, Roscommon & Tulsk
<p>After the disfranchisement in 1801 of the boroughs of Boyle, Roscommon, and Tulsk, there were fewer seats to satisfy the aspirations of the leading families. Yet the extinction or eclipse of certain interests, notably those of the Irish peers the Barons Crofton of Mote Park and the Barons Mount Sandford of Castlerea (while the Viscounts Dillon of Loughlin House were largely absentees) meant that county elections continued to be uncontested after the Union.</p>

A Late Bronze Age gold necklace from Tumna, Co. Roscommon
<p>In 1834 a group of men ‘landing potatoes’ at Tumna, Co. Roscommon discovered a collection of curious gold balls. Dating from the Late Bronze Age, these ancient artefacts had lain hidden in the ground for nearly 3,000 years. They were hollow inside and contained opposed holes to facilitate threading, suggesting that they had originally formed part of an elaborate necklace. When they were uncovered there were at least eleven balls, but today only nine are extant and these are now on display at National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin.</p>
