		I threw my hat into the discussion by guessing that, from the context of the song, "rapparee" sounded like it probably meant "rebel," or something quite like it.
		"Rapparee" is used in a fair number of older traditional songs; it seems to be an Anglicized spelling of "ropaire," which in turn looks to be the Gaelicized version of "robber."
		An Irish pikeman or irregular soldier, of the kind prominent during the war of 1688-92; hence, an Irish bandit, robber, or freebooter.

		Here, I find out Rapparee Hareness, it adds 4% Haste which is cool.
		Some of the crafted armor pieces that have to be worn for the first step of the quest are higher level, however, so it may not be possible to complete unless the character is closer to 60.
		BTW, there are other equipments that are for other jobs other than Thf (Rapparee Harness) so people who come can get equipment too if you have farmed the subligars for different job pieces in advance.

	Rapparee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rapparees (from the Irish, ropairí, plural of ropaire, actually meaning half pike or a pike-wielding person) were Irish guerrilla fighters who operated on the Jacobite side during the 1690s Williamite war in Ireland.
		The rapparees got their name from this last weapon - a pike about 6 feet (2 metres) long, cut down from the standard military pike which was up to 16 feet (5 metres) long - which was known in Irish as a rapaire.
		Most rapparees surrendered at the end of the war, Hogan, for instance, surrendered and was amnestied after agreeing to help track down other rapparees but was murdered by his former associates.

	Origin of place name Rapparee, Ilfracombe, north Devon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Rapparee Cove is traditionally associated with the Earl of Rhone festival in Combe Martin, which celebrates the capture of the Earl of Tyrone, said to have landed at Rapparee Cove in the early 17th century after a failed rebellion in Ireland.
		Furthermore, a rapparee is more specifically an Irish bandit or irregular soldier 'armed with a half-pike or rapary' and was not used until the 1680's, nearly a hundred years after Tyrone's defeat.
		The rapparees of Rapparee Cove were probably the bandits or scoundrels, who landed in Ilfracombe in 1685, after the failure of the Monmouth rebellion, and seized a ship, but when pursued were forced to land at Lynmouth and were later captured on Exmoor.

	Cultural Analysis, Volume 1, 2000: 'Young Ned of the Hill' and the Reemergence of the Irish Rapparee/Ray Cashman
		If the rapparee breaks his moral code, then he is defeated or humbled, as are Redmond O'Hanlon and William Brennan in their attempts to rob poor or younger tradesmen (Ó hÓgáin 1985:185; Seal 1996:74).
		The focus in the majority of older rapparee lore—and especially in prose narrative traditions—is not on the struggle between two nations or political affiliations but the struggle to redress inequality, to defend the vulnerable, and to elevate the lowly.
		Concerning the derivations of the terms 'tory' and 'rapparee,' the earlier term, 'tory,' comes from the Irish tÓrai, meaning "pursuer, raider." It first appears in print in 1645, though it was most likely used in spoken language much earlier (Marshall 1927:11; Duffy 1982:11).

	[No title]
		The Red Rapparee was a huge man of about forty, and the epithet of "Red" had been given to him in consequence of the color of his hair.
		The persons who accompanied him on this occasion were three of his own gang, who usually constituted his body-guard, and acted as videttes, either for his protection or for the purpose of bringing him information of such travellers as from their known wealth or external appearance might be supposed worth attacking.
		She was, besides, a paramour to the Red Rapparee, and he attributed much of her dark and ill-boding prophecy to a hostile and malignant spirit.

	Elizabethan Hele Bay, Ilfracombe, north Devon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Earl of Tyrone fled from Ireland early in the 17th century and according to local tradition he landed at Rapparee Cove, outside Ilfracombe harbour, and was hunted down by the local Grenadiers.
		But the Earl is known to have fled to Europe in 1607; the name Rapparee was not used until the end of the 17th century and there were no Grenadiers (grenade throwers) in 1607.
		More likely the cove is named after the rapparees or scoundrels that were caught in and around Ilfracombe after the collapse of the Monmouth rebellion in 1685 (4).

	Willy Reilly, by William Carleton
		The companions of the Rapparee could not avoid laughing at the comic courage displayed by Cummiskey, and were about to intercede for him, when O'Donnel, which was his name, stamped with fury on the ground and asked them if they dared to disobey him.
		The Rapparee glanced at the noble-looking young fellow with the vindictive ferocity of an enraged bull, who feels a disposition to injure you, but is restrained by terror; or, which is quite as appropriate, a cowardly but vindictive mastiff, who eyes you askance, growls, shows his teeth, but has not the courage to attack you.
		The Rapparee and his men had moved up to the door of the old chapel already alluded to, whilst this conversation went on; and now that their dreadful project had been determined on, they took a short cut across the moors, in order to procure additional assistance for its accomplishment.

		Coastline Boatworks replaced the carpeting in the salon and galley of the M/V Rapparee with Marinedeck 2000.
		The result is a sole that is easy to care for, requires no maintenance, and will look great for years to come.
		This ease of maintenance is a real bonus for the Rapparee owner, who gave away his vacuum cleaner after the installation.
