Oliver Plunkett (1625 - 1681) was archbishop of Armagh and primate of All Ireland from 1668, at a time when the country was in a state of civil and religious disorder after the interventions of Oliver Cromwell.

He persevered for ten years in his effort to ameliorate this state of affairs, until the discovery of a non-existent “Popish Plot” against the English government (invented and revealed by Titus Oates, who implicated many before he was executed for his part in it) gave the authorities an excuse to act against many prominent Catholics.

Plunkett was arrested in Ireland but taken to London for trial; one of his companions was saved by being appointed as Bavarian Ambassador to London and therefore acquiring diplomatic immunity, but for Plunkett there was no such escape, and he was hanged at Tyburn, cheating his executioners by dying before he could be ceremonially disembowelled.

Regarded as a martyr for the Catholic faith, St Oliver Plunkett's body is enshrined in Downside Abbey in Somerset, together with other relics such as the notes for his defence in the trial against him. His memory is kept on 1 July.

Thomas Plunkett was the eldest son of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He came to Tourmakeady about 1807 and built a fishing lodge. He gradually bought up the small local landlords and evicted many of the tenants. When George Moore got into financial difficulties Plunkett bought him out. In 1839 Plunkett became Bishop of Tuam and set himself the task of converting Tourmakeady to Protestantism. His sister Katherine set up a Protestant school and many tenants were threatened with eviction unless they agreed to send their children to her school. During the famine years Katherine ran a soup kitchen for those who turned Protestant. She was known as Cait a Bhrothain (Kate of the Soup) and the term Sooper was applied to those who changed their religion. The local parish priest Pr. Pat Lavelle started a campaign to expose the Plunkett's. He instituted a number of court cases against them and received a great deal of publicity in the English Press of the time. Bishop Plunkett died in 1866 and is buried in the Church of Ireland Churchyard in Tourmakeady.
