Viscount Guillamore

Viscount Guillamore, of Caher Guillamore in the County of Limerick, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 28 January 1831 for Standish O'Grady, Attorney-General for Ireland and Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer for Ireland. He was made Baron O'Grady, of Rockbarton in the County of Limerick, at the same time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. His son, the second Viscount, fought at the Battle of Waterloo and represented County Limerick in Parliament. Four of his sons, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth Viscounts, all succeeded in the peerages. The sixth Viscount was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, the seventh Viscount. He was the grandson of the Honourable Waller O'Grady, QC, younger son of the first Viscount. He died childless and was succeeded by his first cousin, the eighth Viscount. He was the son of James Waller O'Grady, younger son of the Honourable Waller O'Grady. Lord Guillamore died unmarried and was succeeded by his younger brother, the ninth Viscount. The titles went unclaimed on his death in 1955.

Several other members of the O'Grady family have gained distinction. Hayes O'Grady (died 1864), brother of the first Viscount, was an Admiral in the Royal Navy. His son was the antiquarian Standish Hayes O'Grady. The author, journalist and historian Standish James O'Grady was the grandson of John O'Grady, brother of the first Viscount.

gollark: Markets seem to be the best way around to allocate most resources right now, as long as they're managed reasonably. The alternatives people have seem to generally involve either centrally planning stuff, which is maybe computationally hard and has bad incentives, having some communal system and hoping people get along, which doesn't scale, or voting on things, which has the central planning issues plus exciting new ones.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Something involving lots of effort doesn't make it good. Human culture has a weird thing with effort and hard work being intrinsically good and not just good as a way to achieve other things.
gollark: You'd assume someone would have come up with some way to check.
