Kinelarty (from Irish Cineál Fhaghartaigh, meaning "Faghartach's kindred") is a former Irish district and barony in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies east of the centre of the county, and is bordered by five other baronies: Iveagh Upper, Lower Half to the west; Lecale Upper to the south and south-east; Lecale Lower to the west; Castlereagh Upper to the north; and Iveagh Lower, Upper Half to the north-west.
Kinelarty derives its name from the Irish Cineál Fhaghartaigh, which means Faghartach's (Fogarty's) kindred. This was the name of an Irish district, the chiefs of which were the Mac Artáin (MacCartan).
The Mac Artáin descend from Artán, great-grandson of Mongán Mac Aonghusa (MacGuinness) of Uíbh Echach (anglicised as Iveagh). Subordinate to the Mac Aonghusa of Iveagh, the Mac Artáin for a time became themselves lords of Iveagh.
By 1177, the Norman John de Courcy had arrived in Ulster and set about conquering most of eastern Ulster, forming the Earldom of Ulster. The only clans who were able to exist independently in eastern Ulster during this time were in the interior away from the sea-coast, where the Uí Tuirtre, north of Lough Neagh, and the Uíbh Echach.
If you ever loved someone who never took the time to know you. Nothing that you say ever gets through. Listening, but they don’t hear you. You’re just going through the motions. Every day is so monotonous. Baby I’m just being honest. It was over before we started. I was gone…
[Chorus]
Gone already. Gone already. Now you’re sayin that your ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.
Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.
I was feeling like a dead man walking. Numb from all the pain you’re causing. Hoping that things would change, but you never gave me that option. There’s so many things you don’t do to make me over look the wrong. This is not the way that love should be. I guess you’re not the man for me…
[Chorus]
Gone already. Gone already. Now you’re sayin that your ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.
Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.
Packed my bags, made up my mind. Broke that lease and left the keys behind. Hoping I could make it disappear. I could be a million miles from here. Obligation made me stay, as long as I did, that’s my mistake. What is holding on when I know that I’m already gone…
[Chorus]
Gone already. Gone already. Understand now you’re ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.
Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.
