Firceall [ˈfʲirkʲal] was an ancient Gaelic Irish territory which formed the most south - westerly part of the ancient Kingdom of Meath. O'Molloy was chieftain of the territory. Firceall itself comprised the ancient baronies of Ballycowan, Ballyboy and Eglish, which are located in modern day mid County Offaly extending from Durrow north of Tullamore to Eglish on the edge of Birr in an area which is some 25 miles in length by 5 miles in width. The name Firceall comes from the Irish words Fir Ceala meaning Men of the Churches.
O'Molloy claimed descent from Niall of the Nine Hostages who ruled Tara from 380 - 405.
Firceall formed land boundaries with a number of major ancient Irish Gaelic Kingdoms. A land boundary was formed with Éile (Ely) of the Kingdom of Munster just east of Birr. Near Tullamore another land boundary with Uí Failghe (anglicised as Offaly) of the Kingdom of Leinster was formed. Firceall also formed a land boundary with the territory of Delvin Eathra ruled by MacCoughlan. Delvin Eathra was also allied with Meath.
There's a monster name of Frazzle
Who's a good friend of mine
He looks ferocious, but he's really fine
Go up and ask him for his autograph
He'd be so happy that he'd start to laugh
He goes Argh! That's how he laughs
He goes Argh! That means he's glad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The greatest time that he ever had
Now you know my buddy Frazzle
He's got fangs on his jaws
His fur is orange, and he's got these claws
He looks so mean that he could scare a crowd
But if you tickle him he laughs out loud
He goes Argh! That's how he laughs
He goes Argh! That means he's glad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The greatest time that he ever had
Mr. Frazzle has emotions like the rest of us do
Sometimes he feels low down and ugly, too
And then the tears begin to fill his eyes
It's so pathetic when a monster cries
He goes Argh! That's how he cries
He goes Argh! That means he's sad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The lowest time that he ever had
Argh! That means he's hungry
Argh! That means he's hot
Argh! That means he's sleepy
Argh! That means he's not
Argh! That means yes
Argh! That means no
Argh! Means thank you for the dinner
But, it's getting very late and I really must go
Argh!
