	Battle of Oulart Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle of Oulart Hill took place on 27 May 1798 when a rebel gathering of 1,000 annihilated a detachment of militia sent from Wexford town to stamp out the spreading rebellion in county Wexford.
		When news of the long expected rising on May 23 of the United Irishmen in the midlands reached county Wexford, it was already in an unsettled condition due to fears brought by the recently instituted anti-insurgent disarmament campaign in the county.
		The militia reached the village of Oulart on the afternoon of the 27th having refreshed themselves on the way by sacking a suspect’s public house and drinking the contents.

		The Battle of Tara Hill was fought on 26 May 1798 between British forces and Irish rebels involved in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, resulting in a heavy defeat for the rebels and the end of the rebellion in County Meath.
		An attack up the hill was quickly launched and met strong resistance from the rebels but the superior firepower of the military combined with a well-executed bayonet charge drove the rebels from the hill, dispersing them with much slaughter.
		The battle was notable for participation of a number of women in the rebel forces with at least one, Molly Weston (who died fighting on horseback), in a leadership position.

	Battle of Vinegar Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Battle of Vinegar Hill was an engagement on 21 June 1798 between forces of the British Crown and Irish rebels when over 10,000 British soldiers launched an attack on Vinegar Hill outside Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, then the largest rebel camp and headquarters of the Wexford rebels.
		The battle was actually fought in two locations, on Vinegar Hill itself and in the streets of nearby rebel-held Enniscorthy.
		Meanwhile, the rebel position on the Vinegar Hill was becoming more desperate and when troops crested its eastern summit, the rebels began a withdrawal through a gap spotted in the British lines later known as âNeedhams Gapâ after the General whose late arrival allowed the bulk of the rebels to reach safety.

		On Kilcavan Hill that night, the leadership debated whether Arklow (being in Co. Wicklow and theoretically outside the Wexford rebel's remit) was a sensible objective: the rebel command was unstable.
		The unsuccessful siege of Arklow on 9 June was the one major battle under his charge in the rebel campaign; though of great courage and vitality despite his dreadful scars, he did not acquit himself well as a tactician on the day.

		That night, though, the "Camolin cavalry" -- a small patrol led by local gentleman John Donovan and a Lt. Bookey -- came upon Murphy's rabble, called upon the Irish to disperse, and -- being outnumbered and in the dark where their firearms weren't that helpful, were routed with some loss, including their two officers.
		This skirmish wasn't really a battle -- the forces involved numbered in the dozens, and neither side was planning a fight -- but it heartened the rebels.
		The battle with the North Cork militia at Oulart was equally improbable.

	Defenders (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sectarian conflict had arisen out of the entry of Catholics into the linen producing business and their being blamed for the downturn in the market, although the actual cause was the increasing industrialization of the business which was steadily eroding the previous largely cottage-based nature of the industry.
		This victory was marked by the foundation of the Orange Order and the waging of a campaign of ethnic cleansing in mid Ulster which forced thousands of Catholics to seek refuge in Connaught and Leinster, and in many cases, bringing the Defender organisation with them.
		The Defenders of County Down withdrew support before the battle of Ballynahinch as their leader John Magennis had received good local information on the size and placing of the British forces.

		When the British Israelites attempted to dig the hill 100 years ago, Arthur Griffith wrote a series of articles in the United Irishman defending Tara from the attack of the “foreigners” and reminded his readers that Tara was “a living reminder of the former glory of an enslaved and half-debased nation”.
		The hill of Tara is actually a low-lying ridge located half way between Navan and Dunshaughlin in Co. Meath, but it commands a stunning view of 40% of Ireland.

	The 1798 Rebellion in Ireland
		The final battle was fought by a much-exhausted remnant of a Wexford column which had set out some weeks before on what was to become known as the "long march", in an effort to join up with their counterparts to the north.
		Their final courageous and valiant stand was made at Drishogue Lane, in north County Dublin, near the small town of Ballyboughal, within whose ancient churchyard still lie the remains of those brave men.
		The pike staff, between eight and twelve feet in length, was grounded against the right foot, with the point inclined upwards at an angle, while the pikeman retained a firm grip on the shaft to face a charge of mounted cavalry.

		The battle on Oulart Hill on Whit Sunday 27 May is regarded as being one of the most influential victories of the risings.
		From their camp on Vinegar Hill the United Irish army, now nearing 10,000, set out for Wexford town which was abandoned to them by fleeing crown forces.
		It was decided then by Father John Murphy, who was not at Arklow, to return to Vinegar Hill to concentrate the rebel forces, feeling ``that a short, sharp decisive battle would be preferable to weeks of skirmishing in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains''.

		John Murphy, of Boolavogue "set the heather blazing" it is doubtful if he had more than thirty men under his command, and even after the successful battle of Oulart Hill, he had scarcely one hundred and fifty muskets to share among his men, now probably a thousand strong.
		Even on Vinegar Hill when the insurgents numbered about 15,000, their artillery consisted of two six-pounders and a small mortar or howitzer, with scarcely a round of ammunition.
		Of the many points of comparison that could be made, let us confine ourselves to three: the degree of organisation in each county, the rise of the Orange lodges and provocation by the Yeomanry, and the stupid "play with fire" policy of the Government of goading the people into premature revolt.
