- Sir Michael O'Loghlen, 1st Baronet (6 October 1789 - 28 September 1842) was a distinguished Irish judge and politician.
He was born at Port Ruan, Ennis, County Clare, the third son of Colman O'Loghlen and his second wife, Susannah Finucane, daughter of Dr. Michael Finucane. The O'Loghlens were descended from the princes of Corcomroe, in the Burren. He was educated in Trinity College Dublin and was called to the Irish Bar in 1811. Through sheer hard work, he gained a reputation as an outstanding pleader.
In 1817 he married Bidelia Kelly l, daughter of Daniel Kelly from Dublin. They had four sons, Colman, Hugh, Bryan and Michael and four daughters, Maria, Susan, Bidelia and Lucy.
In 1815 Sir Michael was junior counsel to Daniel O’Connell, whose friendship was of great assistance to him. In 1834 he became Solicitor-General for Ireland and was elected MP for Dungarvan from 1835 to 1837. He brought in the O'Loghlen Act for the Suppression of Drunkenness, which cleared the way for Father Mathew's temperance movement. In 1835 became Attorney-General for Ireland and was elevated to the Irish Bench as Baron of the Court of Exchequer in 1836, the first Roman Catholic to occupy a seat on the bench since 1688. He relinquished this office the following year on being appointed Master of the Rolls in Ireland. In July 1838 he was created a Baronet, of Drumcanora in Ennis.
O'Loghlen died in London. He is buried in the family vault at the old graveyard in Ruan. His mausoleum is an impressive Egyptian Revival tomb. A statue of Sir Michael O’Loghlen can be seen at the Ennis Courthouse. He was succeeded as baronet by his eldest son Colman, and on Colman's death by his younger son Bryan.
The Kelly Mausoleum, Ruan Kelly 1857 to 2004
Port House (Porte), ruan. which is not in a graveyard but at the side of the road.
The mausleum of the Kelly family of Port House, also known as Porte, stands in Portlecka, between Port House and Ruan village. These transcriptions are complete as of 2013. The mausleum sits on the side of a busy road.
Frost’s History of Clare tells us that the name Ruan comes from the old Irish name for the Alder tree, Ruadhan. The bark of the alder was used in olden times to dye wool red. Writing in 1807 Samuel Lewis tells us that Ruan was the site of one of the principal sheep fairs in the county. This fair was held on September 26th and a fair was also held on June 17th. Until the early 1960s the school was closed on these days but by then the opening of Ennis Mart had put an end to fairs.
Frost’s History also tells us that the MacBrody family, who were hereditary poets and historians to the O’Brien’s of Thomond, were associated with our parish. They had land in Ballybrody, Lettermoylan and Kilkee which they held free of all tribute by virtue of their office as Chroniclers of Kings. The Macbrody family lost all their property during the Cromwellian wars. Bishop Fogarty alluded to this proud history when urging the people of Ruan to build a new church even though finance was a problem.

Sue, when I first saw the church, I thought the same as GV, it looks like those in New England. This cemetery had a little bit of everything. From 1688 until 2022! Amazing! Have a good evening. It is snowing here in northern Alabama, about 8 inches so far! Unusual for us, but very beautiful.
Totally enjoyed this one. Some fantastic hidden secrets. Thank you muchly for sharing Sue. 👏
I love how respectful you are always. Never heard you say a bad word about what you see. You respect all. Even to say hello to the dead. I hope you
The Crib is lovely too x
I'm sure they are resting in peace by not having to sit on those uncomfortable pews! Lol :)

Sue and Cathal that was wonderful. 1688 is insane. Love seeing the Old English. So much beauty. I have to admit that I kind of jumped when I saw the dog. It looked so lifelike. The Kelly Mausoleum was beautiful. The church reminded me of the churches in New England USA. So beautiful and really different for your location. Margo and I love you both
Digging out from snow and cold. Your green of Ireland lifts my spirits today.
