Firceall

Firceall was a Gaelic lordship in the south-west of Meath, centred on Tullamore. Ruled by the O'Molloys, it bordered Éile to the south and Uí Failghe to the east.

The O'Molloys retained their independence through the later Middle Ages. In 1556 Mary I shired the midlands, and subsequent plantations divided Firceall among the baronies of Ballycowan, Ballyboy and Eglish in the new King's County. The O'Molloys lost their hereditary lordship.
