What is recorded here
I suspect Rory OMoore Bridge brought out the expert in anyone watching a cart cross the river. The driver heard plenty of advice from people with their feet safely on the ground and promised each of them a turn at the reins.
The present bridge, built in 1863, occupies the site of an wooden bridge called 'Bloody Bridge' which was built in 1670. It was rebuilt in 1704 (Dillon Cosgrave 1909, 4-5; Mac Lysaght, 1982, 76).
